The Yu-Gi-Oh! February 2023 banlist aftermath

As a member of generation Z, I’m used to constant disappointment. Because of this, I have incredibly low standards for myself, everyone around me and the human race as a whole, just so I can be surprised when things don’t turn out to be complete shit. However, rare circumstances occur when humanity goes above and beyond the bare minimum of not completely sucking – actually appearing to be somewhat redeemable for a few moments, to...

My Yu-Gi-Oh! February 2023 banlist predictions

Ok, let’s just get this over with. We all know what decks (or deck in this case), needs to be addressed on the upcoming banlist, so you don’t need me to give you a particularly intricate analysis of the current format.

Last time I talked about Yu-Gi-Oh! on here was during Pank-Kids Adventurer format – a format which I’m pretty sure is now considered to be one of the worst of all time. Yeah, I certainly don’t miss Destiny Hero – Destroyer Pheonix Enforcer being in every deck, that’s for sure. I’m happy to say...

Maya Deren - Meshes of the Afternoon painting

Meshes of the Afternoon – a very serious analysis

So here’s the second part of my Maya Deren film analyses that I wrote back in college. I remember this one being significantly more of a pain in the ass to write than the one for At Land, going through countless rewrites before I was at-all satisfied with it. Once again, I recommend watching the actual film itself before reading any further for any of this to make sense. Here’s a link to Meshes of...
