Egaolicious Disappointment

You can refer to the mod as 'Shio'. YGO salt blog. Will always remind you that A5 was a dumpsterfire. Will occasionally talk about VRAINS.

it's 2k19

I am here to inform that

1. skateboard series is back to being good

2. the answer to a5's "too many characters" problem is not having half of them when one of them is G/OU O/NIZUKA, THE BANE OF MY EXISTENCE

 i remembered a5′s ending and i am STILL MAD in 2k18

your irregular vr surfboard series update:

How on earth is it surprising that the deuteragonist (You can’t deny that that’s what S0ulburner is, at this point) wins most of his duels?

Also, we saw that entertainment-type characters who win too often end up coming off like hypocrites (well, YMMV, but you guys know who I am), so I’m glad Gou and Aoi have some losses.  I do think Gou should’ve just not fought Revolver, though. 

But their losses against S0ulburner? Expected.

your irregular TCG update:

1. why are sky strikers a thing

2. pinging konmai, please ban ash blossom i promise we’ve spent enough money on it by now

3. lair of darkness is no

4. this format is a supreme kind of shitty despite being diverse

5. they’re STILL making more trickstar support

[thesalthasjustbegun]

i had to rewatch a5 eps for [reasons] and wow ep34 yoyo is way better? he wanted his duels to make people happy and not just egao

a5 ended a year ago. you know, i’m still bitter, but at the end of the day, it was fun.

no, really, it was..

i don’t have something witty to say, but instead i’ll say something petty

hey, kids, ono is not a writer and maybe if you wanna idealize a5′s writing you should go to kamishiro tsutomu about it

also while i’m at it, no, writers do not determine the designs of ace monsters, what the fuck

thirdly, no, you cant compare ono and yoshida because they have DIFFERENT JOBS

fourthly (is this english), why the fuck are people still playing ~which ygo is the most ‘’’’’’profound’’’’’~ circlejerk in 2k18

FIFTHLY, YOSHIDA/ONO/KAMISHIRO DONT WRITE DUELS. HIKOKUBO DOES. 

[thesalthasjustbegun]

yoshida is writing the script tgt with someone else, i think this is a first

[thesalthasjustbegun]

what the fuck aoi

[thesalthasjustbegun]

you gotta say, at least the vr surfboard series is good outside of its recaps

[thesalthasjustbegun]

update: the vrains director apologized for the recaps, which is super cool?? but also, rip tbh

[thesalthasjustbegun]

I agree with your last post. At least the last 2 recaps had some good scenes to make up for the fact that I had to skip the recap scenes. I found myself skipping the entire episode (save for the last 3 minutes) today. Which to me, is completely UNACCEPTABLE!

I’m like, p understanding re: production issues. But also like. This really isn’t good for them /and/ the audience.

So while I’d not say unacceptable I do admit it makes my interest decline a little (thankfully I’m easy for Ai and Revolver). 

Recaps every 26 episodes would be okay, but not optimal (ZX did fine with one recap only for example!). But 3 in 29 screams behind the scenes stuff.

[thesalthasjustbegun]

vrains, we need to have a chat

nobody here would mind cheap filler with reused animations/backgrounds i’m sure. it’d add to the characters and the budget needed wouldn’t be thaaat high.

point being, please stop with the recaps i’m dying

really

[thesalthasjustbegun]

at this point i’m like, p sure there’s production issues, but this is absolutely not the way to handle them??

it doesn’t help that this recap was super lazy re: the new footage to reused footage ratio

the previous ones were set up better and even enjoyable-ish recaps are still bad, but better than... this?

hot take: if you’re in a fandom, here’s a handy list of dick moves to not do

callouts of any kind. dont fucking do it

if you do end up having a petty internet argument, stay rational. idc if you’re a minor or 76, you can use your brain and keep the insults in your pockets thanks

this also means you shouldn’t make random assumptions about the person you’re arguing with

no, i dont care if their ships are problematic, murderous, jellyfish, tentaculous, pedophiliac, ephebophiliac, incestuous, selfcestuous, physically impossible or straight up ridiculous. you stay in your lane and let them ship what they want

bonus hot take: consider that ppl in other places have different norms & opinions. consider that people within your culture might have different norms, too. reflect upon yourself, dont search the problem in others

you can dislike ships. you can dislike characters. you can also talk about it. yknow why? bc they’re fictional. dont prioritize fucking ships over people

i hate having to say this but dont tell people to kill themselves

IF YOU ABSOLUTELY HAVE TO SHITTALK THEN PLEASE CENSOR SHIPNAMES AND USERNAMES!!! for example if you wanna shittalk me write t//he//salth//asjustbegun or somethng it’s not that hard. if u wanna shittalk a5 write, well, a5. i do it too

why should you listen to me re: this? human decency, that’s why

if you wanna add to this post by saying “but what if” you missed the point

thanks

why is this in bullet points? aesthetic

that was that thank you

did you know that in JP media, in underling/boss dynamics, the use of ‘aniki’ (’big bro’) is v common when addressing the ‘boss’ figure?

very apparent in fictional y/akuza structures but also in other contexts, so, the word has multiple uses other than its standard sib relationship use

and well, yeah, this isn’t actually salt

i just felt like u guys should know in case u didnt
