@Nosada the type quiz has been retired for years now. around november 2016 there was a big site update in which pretty much everything got overhauled, and the type quiz got lost in that void.

fanfic My fanfic + the story behind it
Ojama Yellow replied to The Fangame Connoisseur's topic in Creative Works
as unfortunate as it may be, if your goal is to make your fanfic appealing to all readers, its nigh impossible. every reader has their own preferences of story or storytelling, so its impossible to appease all your potential readers. but dont worry too much about getting as many people as possible to read your story. while its fun (honestly understandably so) to hear that others read and enjoy your story, dont be too disappointed if your story doesnt get as much fans as you had hoped or expected. remember that everything you write is a path to becoming a better writer, which will eventually attract more readers as well. first off, something that may sound obvious, but try to be as original as possible. for example, the backstory of "I found a hurt pokemon and nursed it back to health so it now likes me and its my starter". cool thing and all, but like half the fanfics out there use it as a starter. as great as a writer you may be, most people arent overly fond of reading something that theyve read ten times before. so try to avoid or take your own spin on the common clichés. secondly, make your story appealing to actually read. constantly having long sentences of three lines or more, grammar or spelling mistakes commonly appearing in your story and bad paragraph formatting are big red sirens to most readers. proofread everything you write (preferably have someone else proofread it as well) before publishing. it sounds basic, but its amazing how many amateur-writers dont pay attention to this. lastly, try to make a story that you made or that you are very close to. while its fun that your friend has given you a story you can use, its possible that youre not as close to the characters as your friend, the original writer, was. this may lead to more superficial and subsequently less interesting writing about the characters. this is just a nitpick on my part, though. if you feel like youre able to write it as well as your friend would, then do what you want to do. most importantly, write something you have fun writing! if you sacrifice your free time creating something that youre not actually a fan of yourself, its only a matter of time before you drop it into obscurity. thats all I can tell you, though. im only a beginning writer myself, so all my advice is rather basic. good luck! -
so duel links has done the forbidden thing. the newest structure deck has been datamined, and it contains cards that might make the card that was never meant to be good very good.

as far as im aware, it depends if youre looking for a multiplayer or singleplayer experience. as zarc mentioned, ygopro does best when it comes to multiplayer. if youre looking for some single player, tag force special (psp) and legacy of the duelist (xbox one) are probably the latest installments, from 2014 and 2015 respectively. I cant speak for legacy of the duelist since I havent played it, but tag force special contains all cards up to october 2014, I believe? as well as a good portion of anime cards. the downside is that its only been released in japan, so youre gonna want a translated version which thankfully isnt too hard to find. alternatively theres duel links with a mix of single- and multiplayer. it doesnt contain nearly all cards in the game, not by a longshot (especially given xyz, pendulum and link summoning dont exist there yet), and the mechanics work quite differently, but it does have some more recent cards not included in tag force special or legacy of the duelist.

it has been done.
and this was the deck I used to eventually hit this. dinos are unexpectedly fun to play once you figure out how they work.

dlv19 hit, thank you survivals end and other dino friends. run for dlv max is something for tomorrow.

seems like the randomly spawned level 20 duelists favor me. a few months after my prismatic winged kuriboh from jaden, zane hands me this.
I fucking love cyberdarks in duel links, and despite keel being the worst of the three basic cyberdarks, its still a necessary component to create cyberdark dragon. so you fuckin bet ill use this.

probably this will be as high as I will be reaching this season. not too bad given I started out somewhere half from rookie 1. thank you aliens.

ya. switched around the build a bit, going balance with eight monsters, six spells and six traps. three warriors and two kids are my core monsters. kid has become more valuable than telepath in the current meta imo. I even thought about running three kids and two warriors for a while. other than that, two overlord and one telepath. telepath isnt bad, but given im running balance the deck bricks quite hard if telepath happens to be my only monster in first hand without recomb.
for traps I just went with three powerful rebirths and three brainwashing beams. I initially dismissed the latter as kind of bad, but again, in the current meta (where alien cannot defeat yubel any other way), nothing feels better than stealing their terror incarnate or ancient gear reactor dragon and subsequently swinging for game. even managed to steal an ancient gear ultimate golem from a guy attempting to go all in turn 3 too. poor guy.
spells is obviously three copies of the recomb device. its the core card of the deck, there is literally no reason to not run it three times. other than that, two econs because econ, and a mysterious triangle that allowed me some otks but also made me brick at times. substituting it with cosmic cyclone or forbidden chalice could have been an option but I was iffy about those.

I haven't really tried Aliens since the middle of the Fur Hire invasion (even then Kid became an absolute must), so I'm glad they can still be used decently. I might have to try them some next season, even though I was waiting for Amonite to come before returning to them.......who knows when that squishy boi will drop though.

gee thanks sartorius, how ever did you know that of all events I wanted a prismatic in this one
because arcana force is super strong and ill be able to get a lot of use out of this one
at the very least empress is probably the best one I could have gotten, barring maybe temperance.
-
now if only we got some of the better arcana force cards.
on the flip side his skills seem fun to (ab)use, and his theme is lit, so w/e.

I have never felt this personally betrayed by the press holy fucking shit

I want to believe what gets published, because theyre the most reliable source of news I will probably get anywhere. unfortunately, most reliable apparently does not equal entirely reliable, as ive realized the past two days.
thats not to say I dont understand why it happens. ive taken journalism two years in college, which told me enough about why this kind of shit exists. you need to write an article about this thing, and its gotta be ready in two hours, and you better make sure its ready then or fucking else. theres a blatant lack of quality because the writers and creators oftentimes dont even get the time to fact check whatever theyre writing or copying. after going through the coverage from yesterday, I noticed that the journalists did read their sources, but not nearly thoroughly enough, resulting in errors.
its something that I hate to see happen, and I know that its only going to deteriorate at this rate.
(note that this rant only applies to whatever news sources ive checked the past few days. im very aware that some news stations only really care about bias and feeding controversy, but I refuse to call that journalism. so what I just wrote does not in the slightest apply to those.)

its a name rater issue- you can give a pokemon you caught in the wild a nickname of twelve characters at most, but pokemon that you bring to the name rater can only renamed with max ten characters. im assuming this is leftovers from pre-gen VI name rater, where the maximum character limit was 10.

once upon a time, describing someone as a "trap" was considered derogatory language on reborn. then, not so long after, it apparently ceased being that for reasons unknown. kind of felt like a gray area the past few years so I for one welcome the decisive answer.
