  2. Seek therapy

    You are deranged. It takes a lot of time to make content because it’s work. Do you quit your job because it takes long? And of course with your attitude towards creators there’s a 0% chance you give them any financial support, so you’re not donating money, first of all. Legitimately feeling like someone needs to answer hundreds of questions on everything they produce is insane. The mental gymnastics you’re doing to justify it to yourself and how self centered you view the world don’t matter. Since when does watching a youtube video mean you don’t go outside? Youtube videos are entertainment. That’s the entire point. You clearly understand that given you’ve watched them before. It doesn’t matter if you don’t like the content or find it boring, that’s still the purpose. If you make something for someone to watch it’s entertainment. You need a serious amount of help, your next hobby should be reevaluating the way you treat people and stop making assumptions about…

    I expected to hate this card due to its ability, but honestly, I think it may be among the most well-designed cards mechanically, and one of my favorites. This is for a few reasons:

    Most importantly, it changes the pace of the game by actually slowing it down rather than speeding up, which from my experience is pretty rare in the PTCG. The current meta is “Use abilities to draw, get out OHKO mon, OHKO, OHKO, OHKO, maybe OHKO again if you really have to, win.” But this thing stops most common draw abilities so the opponent can’t get out their OHKO mons, and with a 150 damage move that requires 3 fighting energy to power up, it’s not getting any two-prize OHKOs anytime soon, either. The game becomes a war of attrition, with your opponent trying their best to ration their resources and break down your Ting-Lu wall while you chip away at them with half the normal speed.

    It fits in with the cards around it very nicely as well. I’ve seen it played with Hawlucha SVI, Koraidon SVI,…

    Hayata’s artstyle mogs. PGO Xatu is my favorite so far but I figure commenting on their first FA would be the best for long-term exposure;

    (In response to Parttimetcgcollector’s more recent comments)

    “The only time where you don’t have the time is when you’re dead:” Taken literally, true! But nobody deserves to work until they die. Keep in mind that Youtubers are human people, with social lives, family lives, the need to sleep, interests outside of YouTube, taxes, chores, limited energy, mental health… Imagine if, on top of a job, you had a hundred or a thousand emails or social media messages asking you questions every day, and you had to respond to every single one of them. I’m sure you COULD, but that would kind of suck, wouldn’t it?

    “I asked simple questions, related to their content, not their private life or stuff that isn’t my business:” Good on you. A large number of people don’t. You are a lollipop buried at the bottom of a train car full of coal. If you want to pick out every piece of coal for the lollipop, be my guest. The lollipop is probably delicious. But it is probably not worth the hours of…

    Twylis does a breakdown on all the related Eevee/Eeveelution art gimmick through the D&E blocks, but there’s one interesting little nuance here – this card’s artwork actually appears to connect with SHF052 Eevee, although it’d be easy to miss because rather than connecting horizontally like most connecting artworks, this one connects vertically, with Eevee’s artwork above and Vaporeon’s below. Didn’t notice this myself, credit to https://twitter.com/RoseannesSearch/status/1665410726314274818

    Unless of course they are making a ton of money. As Ambassador points out, they rely on other people’s work while they get all the glory and fortune. Support that? Never! As far as entertainment purpose, if you call that entertainment then I encourage you to exercise and appreciate the outside world. My new hobby is gardening and horticulture and it is very rewarding. Give that a try.

  12. ParttimetcgcollectorEctoCandy

    The lame “may not have the time” excuse is idiotic to the core. The only time where you don’t have time is when you’re dead. I asked simple questions, related to their content, not their private life or stuff that isn’t my business.

  13. ParttimetcgcollectorOk

    It’s insane that people are willing to donate time and money for them while they cannot answer a simple question like what is the name of the music that you played on certain time stamp or what store or online store did you purchase that product. I am not asking personal questions. Ok, so it takes a lot of time to create a video then here is a suggestion: quit.

  14. OkParttimetcgcollector

    It’s insane that you feel so entitled to someone who creates content for your entertainment’s time. Content creators of a moderate size get comments, questions, messages constantly, it’s not reasonable to answer them all and have to stick to only doing some amount. It’s unlikely any of them are doing it just to act like they’re above you. I’ve seen how long videos and streaming can take- you’re not expected to spend all waking moments of your day responding to your work email. For a lot of creators that’s their full time job and they deserve time to themselves.

  15. EctoCandyParttimetcgcollector

    Here’s the thing – Youtubers, especially ones with large audiences, may get tons of emails and messages a day. They may not have time to sort through all of them, especially if they need to focus on making and editing enough content to consistently upload. And even in the case of smaller Youtubers, it may be a matter of boundaries, where a Youtuber doesn’t want to interact with people they don’t already know while “off the job” to separate their personal life from their Youtuber life. It’s likely less a matter of thinking they’re better than you and more a matter of trying to manage their relationship with their audience in a way that’s responsible and comfortable for them.

    That said, I would like to acknowledge that Ambassador makes a good point here – stealing info from fansites without crediting them or supporting them in any way is a pretty big jerk move, and I neglected to consider that aspect. To play the devil’s advocate, though, I’d argue that providing info and being…

    Originally からまりMAX [𝐂𝐀𝐋𝐀𝐌𝐀𝐑𝐈 𝐌𝐀𝐗], MAXamar is one of the many, many versions of the attack we know as “Big Eggsplosion.” I’ve previously left comments on N2 Omastar and SS Azumarill but somehow never noticed this card in my searches until now. From the amount of conversation folks had about this card, and its inclusion in Japan’s The Best of XY set, it seems like this was one of the more conspicuous iterations of the attack.

    Most owner’s cards in Team Magma vs Team Aqua are completely made-up, with the TCG being the only instance of these villainous teams actually using most of the Pokémon they’re depicted with in the set. In Pokémon Ruby, Team Magma members only had the Zubat, Poochyena, and Numel families on their teams (Team Aqua members swap Numel for Carvanha).

    Pokémon Emerald would give Baltoy to a couple of Team Magma grunts, possibly inspired by this card. However, Baltoy’s Team Aqua counterpart in Emerald is Wailmer, and given no “Team Aqua’s Wailmer” card exists, it’s probably just a coincidence.

  20. AmbassadorEctoCandy

    I think the personal element is kind irrelevant here. There is definitely a “lack of interest” thing to it, though, but it has more to do with the topic at hand than the community per se.

    Youtube channels are terminal dead ends for fan community growth. The algorithm incentivizes them to make their audience dependent on them for content/information, and the format creates a partition between the video host and the audience. The best way to evaluate whether a Youtube content creator is a contributor or a leech of a given fanbase is to look them up on fansites – do they contribute to the knowledge base by being a regular poster on a forum, wiki, Discord server, or are they only ever showing up to ask questions, scrape content, and shill their content?

    The vast majority fail that test, and it’s a losing cause to try and fight it – in other fan groups/knowledge bases, I’ve been outspoken in my support for channels that *do* contribute to their respective communities, and so far…
