I really enjoyed Yu-Gi-Oh when it first hit the states as a teenager, but if I were trying to get into it back at that age and it was in the state it’s in now, I never would have been able to get into it because it would just be too daunting of a task. The cards with effects are too complex and there’s way too many complicated special summons and extremely specific cards that rely on extremely specifically built decks, there’s too much rule patchwork holding the system together, and half of the interesting cards that have been released over time are banned from competitive play.

This is what America is being fucked by.

I didn’t mean to argue or be rude or ungrateful to your intentions, but is it not greedy and selfish to expect someone to stay alive for your pleasure? Obviously we’re Internet strangers, we probably won’t talk again outside of this thread, but even when family or acquaintances (not sure I have any real friends anymore) tell me that, it feels like they only say that because it’s what society expects them to say. They aren’t there for me when I’m in need or feel helpless, they can’t change the fact that every waking moment I feel miserable and worthless, so to me it just seems like they’re being selfish to say I need to stick around for them. If I was important enough to need to be alive, why don’t any of them ever reach out to me or check in on me or ask to hang out or anything? They only come out of the woodwork when I’m ready to end it all to chime in with paper thin commentary like this.

😕

I have none of that and don’t want to live.

Not a war, no matter how many times they try to pretend it is.

Funny, I’m not bothered by Israeli death and suffering either. 🤷
