After a conversation on stream about jumping attacks, I dug up some old notes and did some additional tests. I am running late on Akai Leagues stuff, so I will post what I have now before I forget! The working model information slide is a bit jammed with details, but the main gist: (1 of 5)

This reminds me of a youtuber I saw once complaining that Garfield Kart would shut down his computer with a controller plugged in and it turns out the problem was that the most upvoted steam config for Garfield Kart at the time was a community config that bound every button to "Shutdown Computer"

I'm bleakly fascinated with the 21st century's ability to exploit new parts of the human experience. First COVID forced you to explain to adults that they should care about other people. Now it's AI stripping out the basic purpose of art and communication. It's all techno-solipsism.

To DevilREI
Thank you for the request.
I revised this drawing many times, thinking about what kind of character Stella could be, which is why it took a while.
I'm looking forward to seeing more of her and her story, too.
Thank you very much!

The weird possessiveness of yumeshippers is something I don’t understand. The best thing about a fictional waifu/husbando is that there’s no need for exclusivity in the multiverse. Everyone can have their own happy little alternate universe with their beloved!

Now technically, technically, we also know that Sega in Japan created a commercial to advertise their game Samurai which aired in February 1980. This one has yet to be located, but it's likely the very first dedicated TV ad for an arcade game.

Jennifer Hale once told me Canadians need to champion ourselves more. I wholeheartedly agree. Over the past few months, I reached out to dozens of Canadian devs to learn their favourite Canadian games. Their varied responses offer a wonderful spotlight on some of the incredible talent we have here.🍁

These are must-play Canadian games, according to Canadian devs

As Canadians, we don't champion ourselves enough, so we asked dozens of game developers to do just that.
