I'm sure some of you have noticed, but just in case: This is (er, was) Dan Highland, and I've updated my name and bio to better reflect the tomboyish gamer girl/gay mergirl I am at heart! All the love and support I've gotten from my friends so far has been incredible... thank you all so, so much!!

I try not to be all New-Thing-Bad-Stop-Having-Fun here, but I gotta tell ya, I'm beyond ready for the hype cycle for that over-bloated tech demo to just be done with and have it launch so we can talk about more than one game for once. also screw the union-busting and the military-entrapment scam

Story of my life as a Cassandra fan, it's not always consistent between her artwork and in-game models whether her eyes are green or blue, even now. (I personally think green looks better for her, but I'm cool with either way overall)

I forgot of you've shared her before, but I'll nominate Cassandra Alexandra from Soulcalibur!

Apparently today is Bikini Day, so here's Soulcalibur's very own Cassandra putting hers to good use and going for a refreshing swim... bonus points if you can guess what inspired the design! art by @stigysartbook.com, comm'd by me

Cassandra Alexandra from the Soulcalibur series, with her blonde hair tied into a sporty ponytail, and wearing a blue-and-white bikini top with matching swim shorts. On the left side, she's swimming underwater and steadily kicking upward as she's coming up for air, smiling even as she's been holding her breath for a while and letting out a few bubbles. On the right side, she's reached the surface with a strong splash and a deep, rejuvenating breath of fresh air.

Excellent work here! I'm not kidding when I say this game (and the series as a whole) changed my life... and not just because Cassandra is my favorite character of all time!

I think I did alright in the first season of Pokemon Champions, considering I've never played competitive Pokemon 'til then!

Double battle in Pokemon Champions, we were both down to our last two, I was just about to land the coup de grace, when *both* of my Pokemon got frozen at the same time by one Blizzard by their Alolan Ninetales. call me Garganacl, 'cause now I'm made of salt

I made someone running a fully meta team in Pokemon Champions single battles ragequit after just one turn, and I'll be chasing that high for the rest of my time playing this game.

I swear, if they Billy Madison her ass back into high school, or give her a way-too-early midlife crisis that has her convinced that she peaked in high school, there'll be hell to pay.

At this rate, I'm beginning to think that not having my girl Makoto in SF6 may be a blessing in disguise.

The most frustrating thing about it is that they decided to draw more attention to what was already a questionable romance by giving them a blood relation that wasn't there before, needlessly making an already bad situation even worse. That's what we call an "unforced error", class. Write it down.

And here I was thinking that Ken had the worst case of character assassination in SF6.

With Tekken 8 still getting updates, plus Virtua Fighter and Dead or Alive having new entries in the works, it seems like it'd be a great time for fans of 3D fighting games... but doesn't it feel like something's missing? @bandainamcoent.com, you know what to do!

Well, I can think of one thing that's broke: Some of the multiple-choice questions were accidentally made single-choice, so I can't pick all the answers that apply.

Honestly, I really needed to hear that while I'm still working on a basic PNGtuber setup (the next thing I need to do is get some emotes made since I still have 5 slots to fill from when I last streamed, and I want potential subs to feel like they're getting their money's worth)... so, thank you!
