i don't even care what meme or non-meme you're talking about
you just said "what memes fundamentally are" completely seriously

What a welcome surprise! How's it going, Pinkster?

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

Top of the, er, afternoon? Morning? Canonical hours, whatever, to you laddie.

I may be going to a big Yugioh regional with some friends this Saturday, which concerns me slightly because the game's meta is absolutely jacked up right now. But I just want to put it out there for everyone while I'm thinking about it so you know where I am, and why I probably won't post.

<Snipped quote by Galaxy Raider>

What happened to the meta?

<Snipped quote by Legend>

SPYRAL archetype. It's so broken that, as an example, out of the top 32 decks at a recent tournament, 27 of them were SPYRAL decks.

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

What does that mean?

<Snipped quote by Legend>

Which part?

<Snipped quote by Galaxy Raider>

SPYRAL.

<Snipped quote by Legend>

That's just a name for a certain group of cards. Cards that all have the word "SPYRAL" in their name.

<Snipped quote by Galaxy Raider>

OP cards?

<Snipped quote by Realmatic>

You do realize that there's a branch of sociology and psychology called memetics, right?

<Snipped quote by Realmatic>

why I put "meme" in quotes so many times.

<Snipped quote by DarkwolfX37>

yeah i do

<Snipped quote by DarkwolfX37>

because you're lame
this is the internet and we're not talking about memetics

<Snipped quote by Mammalia>

This is the internet and I have been talking about memetics for 3/4 of the entire conversation before you even chimed in.

<Snipped quote by Legend>

Alone, no, and not too long ago, no. But they released a card recently that alone broke the whole deck.

<Snipped quote by Galaxy Raider>

The meta is ALWAYS fucked. They ban good cards the week after they come out and reallow cards that were banned years ago practically daily. They gave Red-Eyes a massive expansion and then banned two of the cards needed to run it, then did the same with Blue-Eyes. They banned the Dragon-Lord babies, then limited the Dragon-Lord adults, then banned the adults and legalized the babies, which are entirely useless without the adults.
The only still runnable decks are Sacred Beast, Exodia normal monsters, a much weakened Chaos Dragons, Sophia, Nekroz, or Odd-Eyes. MAYBE Q if they've changed the ban list recently. Elder Gods aren't even out yet in TCG and they're already half banned and the ultimate card that they all link to is already limited.

This is true. The only reason I'm going is because some friends asked me to, and since I play Kozmos, I don't think I'll do THAT badly.
