Unpopular opinion time:

Logan's and Xavier's deaths were far sadder than Tony's. Heck, the entire movie was then the entirely of Endgame. There was more emotion and depth to it and knew when to not hold back any punches, what also made Logan a better movie than Endgame is it knew when to be serious while having the right balance of humor and levity.

For why Logan's death is sadder is because all his life, all he knew was pain and watched loved ones died, living for almost 200 years suffering throughout most of his life, if that's not the worst of it all, Logan along with Xavier both died most likely being forgotten buried somewhere no one would know, Logan especially in the middle of a forest near Canada's border, only being remembered by Laura and the other young mutants.

Whereas Tony would be remembered by everyone on earth and possibility the universe.

It's weird how using a minor legendary (like Moltres) seems like cheating but a Pseudo Legendary (like Salemrnce) feels fine, despite the latter actually being stronger.
Honestly if I catch a legendary you bet my ass It's going into my party instantly, regulations be damned. I'm more of a casual player myself, so I usually just catch whatever I can find and stick with it for the whole game. Never really been interested in the deeper stuff like perfectly raising pokemon for comp play, shiny hunting, and the like(although I do have a few friends who are into that and know how to do those things)

Okay I agree on the controls, but the OST for Forces is mostly bangers IMO.

Like, nearly every Avatar stage song rocked IMO. Classic Sonic and Sonic's songs were rough sometimes, though. Classic's especially were mostly awful.

Tails in the IDW comics is way better than he is in Forces already, and he's only gonna get better. He's still timid at times, but is far more well-grounded and serves as the voice of reason in the group. When Sonic got YEETed into Blaze's dimension, it was Tails who not only reassured Amy (and Knuckles indirectly), but also was the one to get his friends focused on the Deadly Six again, since they were the next present threat.

I haven't, no. Sorry, I've been busy and stressed on and off.
Seems like it from what I’ve seen, hopefully Sonic Team will take some notes for future games.

That’s fine, feel free to read through it if you have any time, I’ll link it here.

Ironic, because It is Hot as **** on my island right now.

Had to even change desks at class because the sun was legit hitting hard.
Yeah, I think that I'll take a bit of a chill over intense heat any day of the week. Not a huge fan of sweating my ass off. :p

It's cold as **** outside, fam.
It was pretty cold this morning but now it's just a bit colder than it usually is. Honestly I'm hoping it doesn't end up like last year where the winter season was just lukewarm rather than cold.

One undeniably good thing about the election: once all is said and done, there won't be any more unskippable political Youtube adds.

I can't even vote, why am I getting so many
Same. I hate all these political ads because every single one feels like propaganda with how they go about it.

It's like.. "OH, candidate #1 doesn't support X, but does support Y! tHey'Re a bad pErson, vote Candidate #2 instead!!!!"

I’m kinda anxious about the next few weeks tbh. May go on hiatus from most internet stuff for a while

sadly I may have to hear the evening news every night... I’ll try talking to my parents about getting weather updates only cause they usually only watch the local news for the weather

How's everyone doing today?
I'm tired. I went to bed early and woke up early for an early morning workout, and for the most part it went well. However, before I could do my last few exercises, I started to feel very nauseous. I left the gym early and was burping up a lot driving home. I took some Tums and laid down, and that seemed to do the trick. I'm fine for now, but we'll see how I feel later.

And it seems like Ian Flynn is working to redeem Tails in the comics. Yeah it’d be nice to see Tails get better in mainline games too.

Speaking of, I don’t remember if you got a chance to read my progress on writing the story mode for the Sonic fighting game I’ve talked about before.
Tails...getting the push he’s always wanted, while I wait to see if Silver will gain back to his busted powers
Derrick Bitner is leaving GameXplain.

Seems like the OGs are all leaving GX.
GX getting ****ed up rn...seems like we’ll need to have Andre on everything

Not like I've been here much as of late, but yeah, there's a good chance I'll be absent from most areas of the site for a few weeks as well.

I'm not in the mood for political drama or talk of any type.
Make sense, found some stuffs I rather not, so if you need a break from this forum, or part of it atleast, I understand.

Know you're always welcome here tho, amigo.

I don't blame you. It'll probably get tense in here to one degree or another during this month, especially this week and the following.

My head's killing me today. So just the usual Monday for me.

Admittedly I'm not super well versed in Yugioh archetypes, but there are a few I can think of off the top of my head.

Fluffals are the first that come to mind, pretty much being a bunch of cutsey animals that turn into horrifying beasts(the Frightfurs) when they fuse with the sentient blades, the Edge Imps. They're not super strong but they're a fun rogue deck to pilot, especially now that they have most of their key cards like Patchwork in the TCG.

Next up is something that isn't reallly an archetype but is generally considered one: generic Zombie support(with the Zombie Horde SD containing most of the cards) It's pretty hard to define them, due to how many zombies there actually are, but the main strategy of this kind of deck is to summon a bunch of Zombies and use Zombie world to do cheesy stuff regarding how Zombie world makes everything.. well, zombies. It's a bit more lenient in deck building so it's not a bad choice IMO.

The last one I can think of is the Lair of Darkness stuff(from the SD of a similar name and based around the field spell of the same name) but I don't think that's what you're looking for exactly. They're basically Zombie World but for the Dark attribute instead of Zombie and have a minor focus on the "Virus" trap cards(although that's mostly because the Virus traps are the few good targets to abuse the "once per turn tribute an opponent's monster as cost" effect Lair of Darkness has) which might not be exactly what you're looking for.
Alright, I looked those things up and I love those Fluffals. They're right up my alley. Although I fear the whole fusion aspect with dealing with two different sets might be a bit overbearing when starting out. Definitely something I love the design of though.

Zombies seem pretty fun to use, from what I could gather. There's even a zombie Red-Eyes, which I have a really soft spot for. The Yokai Girl set also seems pretty nice, though they only consist of monster cards, no dedicated spells and such, so I dunno if they can be counted.

And as for Lair of Darkness, yeah, not exactly my style, I'm afraid. Though unrelated to that, I stumbled over the whole Naturia set and they seem pretty cute.

Very few people in this thread seem fond of intense political discussion so you should be fine as long as you stick to here.

I'll respect whatever decision you make and I can't really blame you if you want to get away from it all for a bit, though.

While I haven't done enough testing with Fluffals they have enough ways to search their fusion spell + poly + any materials you need that it shouldn't be an issue.

Also, before I forget, there's a card that is technically part of the archetype in theming that you need to considering running: Toy Vender.
ToyVendor-FUEN-EN-SR-1E.png

It's searchable by multiple cards in the Fluffal side of things, allows you to setup your GY for their fusion spell which is literally just Miracle Fusion but for Frightfurs instead of Heros while going hand-neutral in advantage(most of the time anyway), and is a ROTA when it dies(which there are multiple cards that can do so on your turn)

Also another staple you need to run at 3 is Edge Imp Sabres, as he's the main component of most of the fusions. Frightfur Patchwork is also something I would run as it's a double Rota for Poly and whatever Edge Imp you need
