Middle-Aged Man Trading Cards Go Viral in Rural Japan Town

So wholesome.

Wasn't this an actual mechanic in some Yakuza game?

[sparkega@sh.itjust.works]

Exactly my thought on Bush/Obama hybrid

[inconel@lemmy.ca]

They're viral in the town bcs its real person the local knew in the first place. Your neighbors turning into cards and have whatever TCG spell is just hilarious for them

[lost_my_mind@lemmy.world]

Holy shit......you know what this means, right? It means Obama and Bush TOTALLY fucked!

And based on how old he is, it was probably sometime in the 60s.....which I assume would make both Obama and Bush children at the time.....

..........ok, I don't like my brain now.

That just means no one will ever take you out of your packaging and play with you.

They did this with fishermen a few years back

Reminds me of https://divorceddads.shop/

Okay so did they go viral or are they just popular in this one small town? Word mean things

Pedantic is a word.

Also, your criticism of the author's use of words would have had more impact if you had pluralized correctly.

This is such a fun and clever way to strengthen inter-generational community. I would love to see something like this where I live!

[zahille7@lemmy.world]

No fucking way he actually made a real card game for it

[zahille7@lemmy.world]

That's kinda fun.

My city a few years ago did playing cards with local restaurants on them

[trojanroomcoffeepot@lemmy.world]

I audibly laughed hard, this is so amazing.

Last I saw they were selling the fake textless cards, but God damn they went and did it for reals. Looks like a fusion of magic and yugioh.
