Honestly, that's great that you enjoy them! I think the negativity is the sets aren't self-contained. Once they're released, they're a part of magic and the eternal formats forever. Especially for those who have played for decades, that identity shift of the game is jarring.

My take is the two UB and MH3 in the lineup are very polarizing, leading to negative perceptions overall.
While I don't feel as negatively about these sets as the other poster, the attempt to be "flashy" strikes me the wrong way. Even though it's been years now, I feel the same was true for the sets you listed in your response.
I understand that they're trying to market to a broad audience and generate hype for cool new worlds / themes / crossovers, but I'd prefer if the sets were slower and we spent more time on each plane.
I realize this topic has been beaten to death and I have a bit of old man bias with this, but I'm not thrilled that trend is continuing.
It is! But it's a bit sad we have to think about it.
Wow wasn't expecting to see an Addie LaRue reference today! Who's to say that the thought of "Ralph" doesn't trigger thoughts or feelings in an individual that affects them later on today, later on this week, etc. I agree it's a beautiful sentiment.
P.S. That's probably my favorite book I've read in the last few years.
Yep took me a second too, but honestly it's great advice.
"Piracy preserves what capitalism can't be bothered to."
Love that sentence, and I agree with your points that these pieces of media are available not truly "lost." I don't hold anything against studios/publishers not wanting to invest time to make niche ports/emulations available, especially when it won't make them money.
Interesting! So if I'm understanding correctly, the scare about YouTube stopping adblocked users was being caused by the Enhancer for Youtube extension? If so, that's a relief.
Came here to post something similar. I'm in my 30s but can't resist going for a little "cart-ride" in the parking lot when going back to my car.
That's a great point, and I wouldn't mind if all instances used that policy.
Congrats on turning that around so quickly!
Wow that's impressive! I can't imagine the time and dedication it took to create this.
