I’ve been playing a lot of card games, mainly Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel and Shadowverse. It’s been a long time since I’ve played card games like that, so I decided to go ahead and ramble about em.
The Heart of The Cards My YGO GOATS Like a lot of folks my age, I grew up on the Yu-Gi-Oh! anime. I have so many fond memories of watching Yugi and company go through Duelist Kingdom and Battle City, Jaden and his pals rep the Slifer Red dorm, and Yusei and his buds play card games on motorcycles.
Back in March of last year, I started playing Dungeon Fighter Online on a whim since it was free. It has since become one of my favorite games, period.
Fighting Dungeons Online I’ve mentioned DFO on here before, but that was mainly in passing while talking about my enjoyment of the DNF Duel open beta on PS4 near the end of last year. Since then, I’ve started going a bit harder on the game and felt like gushing about it properly.
This past weekend was the Playstation beta test for DNF Duel, a new fighting game being developed by Arc System Works & 8ing, of Guilty Gear and Marvel 3 fame, respectively.
Everybody Was Dungeon Fighting DNF Duel is based off the very popular(primarily in Asia) Dungeon Fighter Online MMO. The game is essentially a grindy beat-em-up that also serves as a love letter to fighting games, with several character designs and moves paying homage to games like Street Fighter and Guilty Gear.
A lot of great music came out this year. These are some of the ones I liked the most.
Really Nice Releases From Big Artists A lot of more well known artists that I like dropped bangers this year. I got high af to Curren$y’s album.
Heat From The Sipp I probably missed some people, but that’s a good sign tbh. Lot of great music from my home state this year.
I know my camera sucks. Leave me alone, hoe.

Back in 2018, I saw 2 anime that would send me down a rather large rabbit hole much later: SSSS Gridman and Garo: Vanishing Line.
Those two shows are two of my favorite shows of all time. Gridman, with its wonderful characters and unmistakable “Saturday morning cartoon” vibes, and Garo, with its old school badass feeling and great familial character bonds. I loved those two shows and I still love them now.
