  • I think it’s a more global movement.

    When I was recruited at my university in the early 2000s, every teacher had an ftp-accessible space with an http address like myuni.edu/~myname. The more techie ones did html, the fancier ones even added css. Muggles would export html from a Word document.

    Then one day, the IT department decided to replace this with a “learning management system”. A wysiwyg platform with dozens of modules for videoconferencing courses, homework submission, online exams, and so forth.

    Except that the user (the teacher) no longer has control over his or her personal space.









  • I agree with you about a 3D Mario: it’s absolutely not incompatible with the release of Wonder. Also, it would be a good candidate to showcase the graphics of the new console, without taking much risks.

    Mario Kart/Splatoon/Smash bros. They need a multiplayer game. For Mario Kart and Smash Bros, they have the same (fist world) problem: the switch versions have so much content that it’s difficult to hit harder. And it’s not nice of me, but I feel like they wouldn’t mind milking the Splatoon players.

    Animal crossing. The license gained so much new fans with AC:NH, it would be suprising if they don’t try to take advantage of this new popularity.










  • The most interesting upgrades for me are Absorbing Man and, in a lesser extent, Hawkeye.

    Absorbing Man, 4/3 was a way under the curve and it was hard to find an on-reveal effect to compensate this weakness. But 4/5 is pretty standard, so I wouldn’t be surprised to see AM duplicating Carnage, Venom, Korg, Debrii, Thor… Also, I feel like there’s something new to do with Black Panther (maybe in a Eletro Zola deck ?)

    About Hawkeye, there is a niche for a 1/4 card: between the 1/3 cards with double-edged effects (Blade, Zero) and stronger cards with stronger drawbacks (Ebony Maw, Titania) or specific triggers (Human Torch, Winter Soldier). And I agree with you: with bounce back effects, there may be interesting things to do with this humble card.
