  • Hi. This is RetroPokeFan (now PikaFriend). I have lost access to my account (as in I can't post anything or set up a password since I am unable to log into my old email account, I think my college I used to go to deleted it) meaning I now have to start over with this one. Just wanted to mention this.
    Thank you for all of the hard work you and the Mods put in policing the threads and trying to make them more comfortable for everyone. There are times that it can be overwhelming when you are enjoying the show and meet such negativity. it can really sap the enjoyment and sometimes I can't even bring myself to post anything, so I appreciate the voice of reason.

    Thanks.

    That's so sweet of you to say. Thank you and you're welcome. ^_^ I can definitely understand how overwhelming the section can be with its negativity. It honestly makes me a bit nervous to post what I like about Journeys too just because I don't want to be bombarded with reasons why I'm wrong for liking it. I can understand how all of the negativity would sap the enjoyment too since I've dealt with that for both Journeys and other series I like too. We want the section to be a place where everyone feels comfortable and just enjoy talking about the anime, but that is obviously not the case at the moment. We are trying to find solutions to make the section less toxic that will hopefully improve discussions.
    Happy birthday! :) Hope you have a nice 2021.

    Thank you for the happy birthday wishes. ^_^ The year has still been rough all things considered, but I had a nice birthday at least, so that's always good.

    Happy b-day.

    As per tradition, I'll share a piece of music. Since you said last year that you like listening to whatever catches your attention, hopefully this is going to. Just be warned it's 20 minute long.

    Thank you so much for the birthday wishes and for the music. I haven't heard the whole video yet, but it does sound quite nice based on what I've listened to thus far.

    Glad you appreciate it. :^)
    Dream Theater is a fantastic band, this song is probably not only among my favourite of theirs, but in generall. Do recommend checking them out.
    It's still a few hours early, but I don't wanna forget to do it soooooo. Happy birthday, Mew! Hope that you end up having as good of a birthday that you can have!

    Eh, honestly I wouldn't even say the virus plays a role in all of this for me. I'd say I've been iffy for a good while, but certainly in a lesser mental health state at least as far back as August of last year.

    That does sound pretty rough. I'm sorry that you've been dealing with this for so long. I don't know if there's anything I can do to help, but I hope that you feel better and are able to get more reassurance from your family too.

    It's probably just the feeling of loneliness, but eh it's a whatever I guess, and an it is what it is.
    have you had time to read my PM?

    I have. Sorry for not responding sooner. I've been a bit busy and I wanted to take some time with my response too. I'll hopefully be able to give you a proper response later today.

    No worries!
    I dunno how you feel about the new cards in Duel Links but, while it's cool they already added some of the D/D cards, I'm honestly loving the addition of the Malefic cards to the game. When you get a good starting hand they're such a quick deck to overpower, and win with.

    Yeah it was unfortunately that way with me a few packs ago specially Chocolate Magician Girl. It had been in the second to last pack so it cost me a lot of my resources to pull it. To the point I had to make the decision to skip the following mini box. Yeah those two archetypes are bound to get much better once they receive more of their fusion monsters. The only thing with Frightfurs is they'll probably need to be held back until the next main box since there's too many signature cards for a mini box where they could dominated the SR and UR category. Yeah his main Pendulum card was pretty bland, but I did like the batch of the ones he had overall. They really help out the D/D series as a whole, and make it incredibly easy to spam all the summon types specifically. From what I saw of the mini game they'd had on the 3DS Pendulum in Speed Duels are the same as in a regular duel, pre Link format. That is with the 3 Spell/Trap zones, and then two Pendulum zones on the side.

    Apparently when someone did a datamine at one point last year, in between the 5D's and the Zexal world was a DSOD world, which obviously did come to be, but also a Grand Championship world which I just really don't see happening. I'm sure as far as dialogue goes though a lot was probably done far in advance with the intention of the worlds coming eventually. Worst case scenario is there either would be no audio dialogue, or they'd just have to use generic "I summon a monster!" sayings for some key cards, sorta like how the redubbed that for Ed when he summons Destiny Hero Dangerous. I mean they have to evolve the game eventually to include Xyz summons, and by bringing in another summon type they'd surely drive up sales of packs and decks as people want to stay with the meta so they'd win with sales by doing it.

    It's alright, not like its your fault. I mean as far as the virus goes it sorta messed with me for about 8 hours. I'd been fine in the morning, started getting one symptom after another in the afternoon, and evening and felt my body spiraling bad. Took some Nyquil before going to sleep, and then only felt very mildly sick the next two days. So really things were only rough for a few hours while sick at least. Unfortunately though I don't think things are going to cool down. I work in a beach town and with the beaches slated to be opened in time for Memorial day it's just going to bump things up here like crazy to go hand in hand with everything with the virus as well.

    Sorry for not responding sooner. The past few weeks have been a lot. I hope that you're having a good Happy Birthday. It took me forever to get Chocolate Magician Girl myself, butI I've been using the Dark Magician Girls deck for both Carly and DSOD Yugi. It is really great and I can see why I would often have such a hard time against it in the PvP matches. It's been rough getting all of the event items for the past few events, but it was cool that they finally included Yugi in DSOD. I'm still expecting them to have Atem playable at some point. There must have been some issue with the Japanese audio because Yugi's lines aren't any different, while other characters have different lines when they duel him.

    I'm glad that you were able to recover. That still must have been overwhelming to go through. I hope that things have gotten easier for you. Reopening is so scary to me now. Just reading the headline that Disneyland plans to reopen in July made my heart sank. I understand why people want businesses to reopen and hopefully they still follow safety guidelines, but considering that the virus has increased in quite a few states, including my own, and people throw a fit over having to wear a mask, I just worry that it will ultimately backfire and make more people sick in the long run.

    It's cool, I can't, nor won't, get mad at you for needing to take some time before you respond, I mean after all the last few weeks have been very hectic for me as well. Whatever's been keeping you at bay, well I hope it's eased up for you by now. Thanks again, honestly it was just a rather uneventful day. Yeah a Magician Girl deck seems to be incredibly powerful whether against the AI, as they never seem to attack a Magician Girl due to their effect, or in PvP. Especially with all the copies of Dark Burning Attack we were able to obtain now. Yeah it was nice to finally see them include that version of Yugi. I've been using him for most duels lately. But really? I didn't know that since I've been back to playing in English while using him where he had all his updated lines. Most be an issue for sure.

    I really don't know to be honest. This was before we'd really known about the virus being here much, and while it did feel like my body was hit by a truck it was only for a few days. I honestly took it, and thought as any other body cold I maybe get, and was treating it the same with what I took. My immune system is pretty good so I walked away just fine without a second thought. It certainly is a tough call that's for sure, I mean out here in NJ we'd easily kept stuff closed the longest. Restaurants are only opening for outdoor seating starting today, and places like barber shops aren't open for another week still. I am sorry to hear that the news of the reopening hit you so hard though. The mask wearing is surely annoying, as running around in the heat wearing them does surely make me sweat more, and make it a bit tough to breath at points but it's nothing worth throwing a fit over. With how people didn't want to adhere to distancing in grocery stores, nor care about how many people are in them at times I figure anything at this point will honestly be a backfire.
