Every day that passes piracy is proven even more as the only guarantee any culturally significant work might remain.

Good for you running Domains and Ley Line Blossoms 4 to 8 times a day in 5 minutes. But if you are doing that, then you definitely put a lot of time into farming artifacts already. I wish I could simply run it a couple times per character and be kitted out for good, but they gotta pile up random stats over random stats to get people farming forever.

Also the game literally has no grind

My hundreds of hours farming level up materials and artifacts would beg to disagree.

I'd say Honkai Star Rail is the most commute-friendly one, since it's based on turn-based battles. Genshin is definitely not the best one for that. Exploring the open world and doing quests take a long, long time. Honkai Impact 3rd has short missions too but it's action oriented.

Sonic Adventure 2 is great but it hurts me every time someone says how good Sonic Heroes was. Sonic Heroes was the most paper-thin every character has been in the 3D era. They just took a couple stereotypical quotes for each character and called it a day. The scant little they did with Shadow was only the barest setup for Shadow the Hedgehog.

Shadow the Hedgehog was overly edgy but at least they tried to do some character exploration and what-ifs. I got some chuckles from how over the top the Dark paths went but some routes and the True ending seemed to fit his actual character just fine.

Character-wise I'd say Sonic Battle was one of the best entries, but the gameplay had nothing to do with anything Sonic.

Shadow is a cool character. Gotta wonder if they are going to be as daring about this one as they were in the Shadow game, but I see no guns so probably not.

Downright bizarre that corporations can demand such an extent of a lifetime punishment for non-violent crimes. Truly the law only serves the rich...

Figuring out decks can be a lot of work but some cards are pretty much always useful. Professor's Research can save you from a bad hand and Ultra Balls can get you evolutions if they aren't showing up. For mixed color decks you might want Energy Search or maybe some variety of Rainbow Energy cards (but you can only have up to 4 of each special energy).

That's right. It's preferable to go for 10-15 pokémon, 30-40 trainer and supporters, and 10-15 energies. As long as you can guarantee a basic pokémon in your starting hand, many trainer cards let you get the other basics and evolutions that you need. 15/30/15 is a more casual friendly mix, the tighter ones are used by people with optimized strategies.

It's also good to have 4 copies of whatever basic pokémon you want to focus on, as well as anything else that's necessary for your main strategy.

I play it casually but I held myself against the utterly savage folks on the TCG app's ranked mode to have some idea of the basics.

Weird to have so many versions of the same form but no kid Goku.

Of course. But at the same time alignment is under the domain of gods and it's part of the cosmological structure itself. I wouldn't think one can simply declare to be outside the purview of morality.

As adults, probably. As kids they likely just saw cool heroes saving the day but didn't know enough of the world they live in to apply that to it. Some might even have agreed with those heroes until they were taught they were not supposed to.
