There’s an interesting design theme happening in Rise of the Floodborn, the first Disney Lorcana expansion releasing next week, that I’m not a huge fan of. As the name implies, RotF has a greater emphasis on Floodborn characters than The First Chapter, with 17 already revealed (five more than the TFC total) and a few more expected soon. Those Floodborn cards represent a wide range of mechanics and strategies, but one quality many of them seem to share is a thematic connection to their shift targets - the character they’re meant to shift onto - that would love to take advantage of the synergy, but for obvious reasons can not....

I’m not going to hobby shame. If you like painting your T’au a bright pink, good for you. If your Tyranids all look like the Xenomorph, I see you. If you play a grey army of unpainted plastic, I might let out a sigh, but I appreciate not everyone has the time to painstakingly highlight a hundred plastic warriors. TheWarhammercommunity can get a little gatekeepy about painting. Some people think painting True Metallic Metals is cheating, or ‘slapchop’ and contrast are too easy and therefore considered shortcuts....

BetweenOutlast, Outlast: Whistleblower,Outlast 2, andThe Outlast Trials, which is most horrifying? Which game gets your heart pumping the fastest and has you wincing at the screen, expecting the worst?...

Any fan base that’s two or more years out from their last game thinks they have it worst. Waiting around doing nothing is an increasingly inevitable part of gaming these days, as development schedules balloon to chase photorealistic perfection that most fans, given the choice, would give up for more focus on gameplay innovation, fewer battle passes to recoup costs, and most importantly, more regular releases. Most fan bases feel they have it worst, but from my completely biased point of view,Tomb Raiderfans are right....

As such, there are no brand-new cards included in the card selection. However, there are new rarities for multiple cards.

They also have implications on the Limited formats of Ravnica Remastered as some cards will be more common in packs at the lower rarities and harder to open at the higher rarities....

Apex Legends has been through countless iterations over the game’s five-year lifespan, and each has its merits. Yes, even the current one. However, developerRespawn’sconstant tweaking to perfect the matchmaking formula sometimes spits out something that doesn’t sit quite right, and we end up with a season where everyone hides in trees instead of fighting. Many fans are up in arms about the current season.Apex Legends Season 19: Ignitemade sweeping changes to the ranked system, and fans are also still seething about changes made in previous seasons, which haven’t been reverted....
