when reading the card doesnā€™t explain the card so you need a degree in fuckin lit to understand them

magic the gathering

yu-gi-oh wording is very particularly precise in a manner that makes it only really possible to understand most effects like. alternating backwards and forwards and paying very close attention to the exact wording used

@Icibalus offbtge top of your head explain the key word: banding

like at least it makes jurisprudence of the game rely on less guess-work, but it necessarily leads to unintuitive effects

12 out of my 13 blocked people on discord are from the master duel server. on my old discord account i had 30+ blocked people too. iā€™ve played plenty of games but theyā€™re really just mega big goblins there. the second biggest goblin server ive been at is one of those pokemon bot servers

you could not make me even if my life depended on it. even my ceaseless desire to live has itsā€™ limits

i stg some games are RAW taken to the absolute extreme
mostly applies to trading card games b/c they have LOTS AND LOTS OF SHIT and they also have competitive scenes but it makes it so that the common man cannot understand shit

mafia kinda suffers from the jargon issue but itā€™s mostly just understanding the structure of the game and how that translates into rolecards, and then you can read ~most of them if the host isnā€™t stupid

i know it off the top of my head :)

genuinely i love the fact that 95% of my mafia games are manual because that means i donā€™t have to obsess over RAW 24/7
i do it anyways but very much less so
and ig the alternative is coding which is less about RAW and more about kicking the computer to make it work but

like i just ported a rolecard for my WS game on MU and i reworded it to just say ā€œdo this thing that isnā€™t specific but that you can Getā€ and then i put in italics (we have a list of specifics things this does but GOD is it hard to word so iā€™m just doing this instead)

anyway its really cold in my room right now but heating is too expensive for now so. Yay.
