After I saw locals playing Violence Luke Gearing I asked around if any wanted to translate the rules. Since no one volunteered I decided to take up the task and translating this has given me a lot of appreciation for the it and the art of translation.

one of the best things i've learned in fighting games is that you don't have to know why the good players do the thing first. just do the thing you see in the Xrd mikado videos from 8 years ago and you'll learn why they do it after. replay theater has the sacred texts and they're searchable.

I feel bad talking about video games that I've been playing recently when it's been several weeks having not written anything (let alone making videos) However, i feel like I need to share the easedropping animation from the new James Bond game because it's so ridiculous

I know people joke about gambling a lot, but it ruins lives. Inviting any form of gambling into your platform is a clear indicator that you value profit over the well-being of your users. Incredibly disappointing.

Back when I was getting started in the FGC and was puzzle-curious around 2020. I remember Ratttz being one of the more insightful folks I got to hang around in spaces with. Even though I’ve mostly lurked these last few years I am glad to see this still holds true. watch and join puzzle wednesday!!

I tried out a bunch of weird games I'd never heard of thanks to Fightcade. It was trivial to pop into rooms, chat with people, and watch them play. If Steam had a comparable system, it would genuinely be some new era shit for fighters (and other small multiplayer games).

willpower is a muscle you have to exercise if you want to live a life according to your values. posting the right things on social media isn't gonna bring you peace if you can't live it. if anything it'll make you feel worse. if you want to feel good, you gotta build that muscle.

there are already more FGs out there than you'll ever have time to play in your whole life that do not give money to assholes. play E's Laf, play MBAACC, play anything on Fightcade, whatever, you don't need to wait for your favorite mass-market YouTuber to take a stand. it's never gonna happen.
