somewhat generic to interact with it, and a Storm is an intuitive pick for "Event that's understood to be catastrophic but does more damage to things than to people". Most other games don't really have a similar abstract object on board to deal with, so they didn't have to come up with a solution.

The bit is that while a face-up Spell and a face-up Trap, and also a Monster whether face-up or face-down, are all really distinct things, but a face-down S/T is something really abstract, it's closer to a card in hand than something that's actually on the field, so you need something that's

The month after MST and Giant Trunade come out in the same set, so these 3 were likely all designed together, and later in the same year you get Dust Tornado, Gust, and Driving Snow all in the same set. At this point I think it's fairly consolidated that "S/T Removal" is the domain of the weather

Heavy Storm is introduced in March of 2000 and it appears in the videogame YGO 4 in June. It's impossible to say if it's a TCG original that got put in the videogame early or the other way around because Konami mechanisms from this time are fully inscrutable (not that much has changed there)

Elestrals does it as a callback to YGO, so that's half a mystery solved. As for YGO, you'd need to go back Samurai Jack. In the first year you get more literal effects with Spells treated as mystical objects that need to be dispelled and Traps treated as actual objects that need to be defused

I guess the Haiku made me chuckle, but Zhao probably laps it fairly comfortably a few times over, and I'm not sure it's even the would-be winner

going through a month long delusion that you are secretly a mole rat and need to cave out your eyes to feel good with yourself then you should just get to do that.

themselves, so either point probably has to give. Either we keep up a system where there's a specialist that compares you against a person that follows normative bodily and mental standards and determines whether you are too delusional to get the mod you want, or we have a system where if you are

"of sound mind" sounds like a snare, you have people right now arguing that being transgender alone disqualifies from being of sound mind. I don't know if there's any real solution to allow true bodily autonomy and also protects people suffering from psychosis or compulsive thoughts from

There's probably some consideration to the fact that decks nowadays are intentionally designed to do flashy plays, and as designed objects they should have more comfortable ergonomics and fit in with tried and true heuristics, so that if you've "been there" enough times you can sorta play it by ear

I read Dubliners for the first time in middle school and thought that all the stories were really unsatisfying but the whole was oddly compelling. I reread it at 17 and was like "ah, yes. this is a book about me. how horrifying."
Blind recommend to anyone.
