How does it feel, knowing you made all three Malefic players laugh?

I don’t get it, could you explain the joke?

It's a Yu-Gi-Oh! reference, specifically Malefic.
Malefic really needs its Field Spell active at all times, so if it was destroyed by "space tornadoes" (Mystical Space Typhoon) or similar cards, your Malefic monsters are destroyed; one reason why few play it (besides it being powercreeped and kind of hard to play with).

There is an archetype of Yu-Gi-Oh cards called Malefic who were introduced to the game as a tie-in to the 5D’s movie. Their archetypal gimmick is that they can be special summoned from the hand by banishing their counterpart from their usual place, due to being evil versions of their counterpart. For example, Malefic Cyber End Dragon can be special summoned from the hand by banishing a normal Cyber End Dragon from the Extra Deck. Just about every one of the Malefics is a powerful beatstick, which combined with the ease of summoning (just about every other card in the game has stricter requirements), gives them a nice and fast aggro game. The problem? For the most part, that’s all they have. In fact, the only Malefics that have any beneficial effects are the boss monsters (Truth and Paradigm) and Stardust. And this is just the benefits. The downsides? You can only have one Malefic monster on the field, meaning you can’t swarm the field with them. You can only attack with a Malefic monster, meaning even if you get multiple non-Malefics onto the field somehow, you can’t capitalise on the aggro focus. Finally, and the one VR-Man mentioned, they instantly get destroyed if there’s no field spell, meaning MST annihilates Malefics before they even get to do anything. There are only two ways in-archetype to stop it. The first is to use Malefic Stardust as he has the ability to prevent the field spell’s destruction. However, Stardust has the second worst attack stat of the Malefics with no protection of his own, meaning he’s a sitting duck for your opponent. The second, and the only reason why the deck is even usable, is Malefic Territory. It instantly searches out Malefic World (the field spell of the Malefics that can also search them out), plays it, and applies protection to Malefic World. So far so good. Then it removes the 1Malefic restriction by turning it into 1 Malefic of a kind, so you could have Malefic Stardust and Malefic Cyber End but not two Malefic Stardust’s on the field. Finally, it negates the effects of Malefics during the battle phase, allowing all the 2400+ ATK beatsticks to charge the enemy at once. Seems great doesn’t it, so what’s the catch. Firstly, it’s effect negation means Truth can’t use its effect. Thus isn’t too bad considering he’s got a whopping 5k ATK. The second problem is far worse. Territory has no protection, which means we’re back at square one; they die instantly to spell removal. Because of these glaring flaws and over-reliance on crucial single lynchpins, the archetype has never really seen much use

I'd love to say Malefics are good in Duel Links...but they're just not...they've only ever had a niche one time in 2010 with Malefic Stardust Dragon Protecting Necrovalley and that was IT.

People likely downvoted you because it's an emote-only comment, which is generally frowned upon.

ah I see! Thank you for explaining this to me, I've been looking for some sort of community guildelines, what I found on the wiki such as this:
https://donmai.moe/wiki_pages/help:community_rules

haven't been much help unfortunately...

Is there any other place, where I could read up on some common ways or general behavior dynamics among users on this website?

thank you in advance, it's much appreciated !

You could just lurk and observe what behavior is praised and what's disliked.

I feel like it shouldn't be possible for a jpg to be tagged with sound

That's because when the uploader copied the tags from the parent post, he excludes the yellow tags but missed the audible speech and sound for unknown reason (while also leaving the blue tags untouched).

With this res it could be game screenshot
