Really excited for both this and our other planned features around this! Genesys Prog sound cool to anyone?

- Added Genesys (and historical Genesys) support to our Deck Builder
- Added Sets: MP25 Tins, MP25, DOOD
We should have some other cool Genesys-related features coming out relatively soon too!

Did another pass here. Removed a few more keywords.
It's VERY overdue but I just did a bit of a Yugioh feed update.
- Got rid of a couple of the remaining false positive key words. Almost all of them were from a couple keywords. (Sorry Maxx Crosby fans)
- Added a couple more blocked words to curb those type of issue a bit more than I already have.

I've gotten so much more done here and everything looks so much better than I ever could have imagined by this time. I think I can have my entire intended feature set ready before Elestrals Clash comes out.
I've been slowly releasing all sorts of features throughout the past few days.
- Pretty in-article Deck and Card Embeds
- EDK File Format Export
- A revamped home page
- Automatic Spirit Calculator in the deck builder

This one was a lot of learning and was a significant challenge for me since I'm not generally a frontend dev. Please check it out if you are interested!
I put together a deck builder, along with a tournament, deck, and card database over at TopElestrals

unrelated to the yugioh feed updates yesterday. there was some issue with integers getting converted to bigints that the atproto lexicon did not like so the feed was not ingesting new posts for a bit.

I'm unreasonably excited to switch over to Primite Blue-Eyes next week.
I've been playing Fiendsmith Ryzeal. The Fiendsmith cards are so fun to play with, but the Ryzeal cards are just not.

Did a bit of a Yugioh Feed Update today. Added a couple more things to the blocklist, removed some users from the alwaysallow list as well as some keywords.

Hi, no that's not the case. I don't remember the screenshot but I must've posted it in the GF teraleak discord server when I was in there. Was looking to see the stuff and whether or not there was anything worth making a video about.
Really hate that someone took that used a slur repeatedly.

my biggest contribution is either ygoprog or the yugioh feed here on this very site
My biggest contribution was this post in response to a dzeef post. Like 500 NR decks, some other memes, but my this was my biggest.

Pretty happy with the results on my latest yugioh feed changes. Only been a few hours, but I haven't seen any overtly NSFW content on the feed since

YUGIOH FEED UPDATE:
Pretty major update here, I added in some logic that should theoretically prevent "safe" replies that contain a Yugioh keyword to a properly tagged nsfw thread from showing up, which will therefore prevent the nsfw parent post from visually appearing the UI on the feed.

Okay - sorry for the yugioh feed downtime, I accidentally broke it in a way where I had to turn it off while working on some algo improvements. the non-yugioh posts that flooded the feed for like a minute should fall off over the course of the day
