Fighting games are much easier to learn than team-based games for one simple reason: In fighting games, you only have to learn what you need to mash buttons and feel cool. In team games, you have to learn enough to not get flamed every match. There’s a reason I stick to just watching Deadlock 😔

Thinking about how when I was playing Invincible VS on the Combo Breaker stream, the guy for TNS asked my opponent for his pronouns but not mine, and then somehow the greatest injustice I faced was a toss up between the commentator calling me “Joe Sprax” and having to play Invincible VS.

I drew this two years ago when my friend finished Heavensward. Estinien kinda deserved post-HW tbh
Estinien from FFXIV holding both of Nidhogg's eyes to his face, saying "Hey guys! Check it out! I'm Nidhogg!"
A purple haired Viera can be seen sweating in the foreground.

I'm getting bonded to Sera Femme (@trixupmysl33v3.bsky.social), and we put together our glamours tonight! I actually teared up when I tried on my set - I've never felt prettier in my life. #ffxiv #gpose #viera #lalafell
A blue-haired Viera offering a bouquet of flowers to a red-haired Lalafell. Both are dressed in wedding attire.Same couple, but the camera is positioned behind the Lalafell.OH GOD OH NO WHAT'S HAPPENINGA solo portrait of the Lalafell wearing a vanilla-colored dress and a wedding veil. The lighting is worse because the rest of these were done by my partner lol

Think I've settled into my thoughts on the Ocarina of Time remake. I think the characters look strange, but I'm still really looking forward to how they handle the environments. I think there's too much fog, but besides that, they look stunning so far.

Beastmaster is really fun so far! Feels like what I wanted Summoner to be when I first played it (no flame, I actually like SMN), just me and my many dogs vs the world. Gonna do the 7.56 MSQ later tonight...

I say this as a joke but honestly if, when playing a video game, you can lose and: - not get frustrated or annoyed - think about what happened and examine the elements in play - reconsider your choices regularly then you'll be well on your way to overcoming a lot of difficult gaming challenges

For Joy Minoy: I was new and didn’t fully understand what would make a name lore compliant, but I noticed all the autogenerated Lalafell names were rhyming. For Pella Apella: I originally made a Hrothgar but rolled a name that would give me a cushion in case I wanted to fantasia later. Paid off lol

2XKO deserved better than Riot Games. Such a talented team making something mechanically special wasted by this unbelievably shortsighted company.

Any other fighting gamers do this at the end of their combos?
sketch of two states: one during a combo and one after the combo

during the combo
- please don't drop
- eyes darting around the screen
- arms tucked tightly
- scrunching

after the combo
- i'm goated
- staring at the lifebar (it's not killing)
- buttons slapped hard
- we have liftoff

one thing that major game companies simply don't do nowadays is add downright sadistic bullshit to their games for no reason other than to add to a player's suffering

Thinking about that clip of the Nintendo hosted tournament early in Smash Ultimate where the game started visually lagging horribly and the commentators were urged to lie directly to the audience and say "it's ok the players aren't experiencing any lag" I wish I could find that clip again...

Plugged in my Gamecube controller for the first time since Combo Breaker and realized that now my gates are misaligned and is constantly ESSing right in Wind Waker. I now advocate for a new Smash game to release so I don't have to spend a fortune on a replacement.

I’ve been trying to learn that Katara combo that’s been floating around and there’s gotta be something I’m missing, because linking 2A after the j214A seems impossible due to landing recovery.

Ocarina of Time remake got me agreeing with the “remakes are conceptually antithetical to art” crowd, and I’m one of the people that LIKES the new art direction. But like, I can’t help but think of the people that will write off the original game in favor of “ooh new shiny” y’know?

Invincible VS taking a new approach to get people to use simple input mode, that being to make the binds for motion mode so fucking confusing that you just throw in the towel and pick the input mode that feels like you're playing a video game.

No spoilers, but in 7.5 did they change DRK’s armed jump animation - at least for lalafell? I’m such a jumper that I feel like it would be impossible for me to have never noticed the awkward forward grip. I need to verify that I’m not insane.

Strive 2.0 ranked - 43ms wired connection that immediately jumped to 5 RBF and kept climbing I would have written it off as just bad PC performance but then this Jam player on the opposite side of the screen inputs throw > throw > gold burst > dragon kick "that's enough ranked tonight"
