A very interesting month.
Card Games Yugimons Invoked Dogmatika Shaddoll I went back to YGO for a little bit. I dismantled Earth Machine not because the deck wasn’t good or fun, but because I’m not playing enough ygo regularly to learn all the lines to avoid misplaying a bunch. So, I went back Ole Reliable Invoked. Invoked Dogmatika is still a really solid deck, and it’s fun despite being linear. It honestly feels good to normal summon the homie Aleister after so long.
It’s been a fun month.
Apex Catalyst Late last year, I picked up Apex Legends, a really popular battle royale shooter with tons of unique characters. I was a bit hesitant about picking it up since BR games aside from Rumbleverse haven’t really been my thing in these past couple years. Once I got bored of Fortnite back in its early days, I kinda left the genre alone. To my surprise and delight, Apex has been a ton of fun, largely due to its really cool characters and the fact that I’ve been playing with a buddy.
I’ve commissioned a lot of art basically ever since I started being more active on the internet. I’ve had to slow down ever since the pandemic hit because money is a thing, but I still have all my previous commissions saved and look at them very often. I just wanna take some time and share and talk about the ones the artists decided to upload.
Unfortunately, Pixiv doesn’t have any embedding support, and unlike Deviantart and Newgrounds, it seems that image links don’t play nice with html, so any pixiv-only works will lack previews to go with em.
My card game line-up experienced a bit of a shake-up these past weeks. Shadowverse is about to get a new expansion + the mini expansion didn’t do toooo much for me, so I’ve been slowing down on that. I’ve stopped playing YGO almost completely since I see what the meta will be in a very short while. Luckily, Marvel Snap came in just at the nick of time to fill the card game shaped hole in my heart.
Lately, fate would have it that I would once again be immersed in the marvel universe. Like a lot of people my age, I came up with and watched the X-men movies from FOX and the Marvel movies from Disney. After seeing Deadpool and Avengers Endgame, I figured my time with the marvel universe would be done for a long time, but I caught the comic book bug and here we are.
Back on Dec 1st of this year, The God of high School published its final chapter for everyone to see. I’ve been following the series for about 2 years now after a buddy of mine introduced me to it(along with the awesome app Tachiyomi , which I used to read it). GOH is easily one of my favorite series. I got hooked right from the first chapter. It’s not perfect by any means, but I got love for this series from the bottom of my heart.
We’ve lost a lot of beloved people these last couple of years. MF DOOM, DMX, Kobe, Chadwick, Kazuki Takahashi, Kevin Conroy, Takeoff. All loved more than can be properly and competently expressed with words. This one stings the most for me, though.
I was a Power Rangers kid. I loved Tommy Oliver. We all loved him. Every last one of us wanted to be the Green/White Ranger. Every last one.
Despite being a Toonami kid, my history with Gundam is more recent rather than storied. Instead of watching Gundam Wing as a kid, I was watching Iron Blooded orphans in high school. Since then, I’ve gotten more into the franchise over time, especially over the course of this pandemic. I wanna sit down and take some time to talk about the ones I’ve watched.
At the time of writing, I’ve seen
