Gotta have Death at a low enough cost to play Death and Venom in the same turn. Bar Sinister fills whatever free space there is with the first card to reveal, so the Venom card down will reveal after Death is copied.
While I think Murderdeathmill needs to let it go and move on at this point. All of the OG members accept arguably Jason and Rorie are gone. This website is never going to be what it was. The GB of Jeff G and Ryan Davis is gone and has been since they've agreed to go corporate in order to make a living, as keeping up the site themselves was proving to be difficult. With that said, having the GOTY discussion on Zoom with its own internet issues is kind of bad, but what can you do. As people say these days: It is, what it is.
And besides, they're just going to pick a game all of them say they like without any complaining, and call that game GOTY. They've been doing this for some years now. Not the actual debates that made this feature fun during the old days. I miss the Brad filibuster. The Alex sarcasm. Vinny wanting to relate with everyone's personal choice, and Jeff G's cold blooded, your game sucks and my game doesn't approach. Good times. Austin Walkers Invisible Inc. gambit is still a thing of GB legend.
Well said, sums up my feelings on the matter as well. I've a bit of empathy for anyone still railing against reality, but... it's reality at this point. Way too many factors militate against holding on to what is effectively nostalgia in 2022.
Interesting to track the loss of the debate aspect over the years as well, definitely what made it so great for me in the past, though I know people had issues with it.
Off the top of my head I feel like Chainsaw Man best lends itself to an Asura's Wrath type game, pure spectacle over gameplay. I'd be real open to something more involved from the player's perspective, but I feel like most of the fights in Chainsaw Man get solved by Chainsaw Man just kind of going nuts and winning.
Also I 1 billion percent agree that an arena fighter for it would be comically bad, it's got a decent cast of distinct characters but we really only see glimpses of most of them and certain devils would really lose their mystique if they were just circling each other and firing off special moves in some building.
