Upon reflection realizing that FF16 Cid reminded me of another Cid...I initially just meant this aesthetically but also now that I think of it trying to overthrow the crystals

It looks like Bluesky might have just updated to auto-include thread-numbering?

Forgot about making an M10 glam last week, so put one together now. Fun to do some more casual stuff, and I just got the Ala Mhigan Gown so it was fun to find something to use it with.

M9S down, just in time to do it again Wednesday. Fun fight, a nice intro to the tier in my opinion. The adds felt crazy the first few times, but once you get a feel for the rhythm of the saws and how long it takes to kill each add it didn't seem so bad. Looking forward to some M10 prog next week!

Using this glam for M9S prog; my first time using the cool new unlocked glam system (this is dragoon gear from...wanna say Eden? plus a mix of a few other bits) but it felt like a good match for the fight's vibe.

Watched The Crow tonight at the late-night movies. It was a good time! It's fun to see a revenge story played out so explicitly as its own tragedy; coming back to life just to get even and then going back to being dead. I liked that Eric was a bit of a cornball but also Very Serious.

in blazblue Jubei is small enough to evade lots of random high moves, but in exchange he's always considered crouching by the combo system so you get all kinds of extra damage for hitting him. both a hilarious move and a very funny balance lever to apply imo.

I named my character Charles Gray after the actor in Rocky Horror, since the name Strange Journey always reminds me of that line from the film.

Boss, it's the fascism Credit www.tumblr.com/nitewrighter...

Tumblr text post that reads:
Me: I don't get it. I thought I was doing a lot better than I was a few years ago. I'm like 10 times more on top of things than I used to be.
The Tiny Me in OSHA-Approved Hi-Vis Gear Who lives in my brain and pulls all the levers: Boss, it's the fascism. You're completely gunked up with cortisol due to the fact that your entire daily life is now underscored with a haunting awareness of the rapid erosion of your rights, dignity, and any and all social safety nets, and you're also bearing witness to the most vulnerable people immediately being persecuted. This creates a natural stress response that basically means you're going to continue having memory and organizational problems, as well as emotional imbalances.
Me: BUT I HAVE A BULLET JOURNAL AND I MEDITATE NOW.
Tiny OSHA Me: BOSS, THE FASCISM.

Not sure what version you're playing or how much has changed between versions, but I picked him up in 6 and made a handy-dandy infographic about them that at least helped me get my head around them. In 6 at least you had a few 'go-to' moves out of each stance and then some funkier options to toss in

A flowchart of Maxi's stances in Soul Calibur 6. Non-stance moves that lead into the stance are in boxes with dashed borders. The moves wtihin that stance are inside them, and the moves that go from stance to stance form a web of interlinked arrows.

Really enjoyed @jacobgeller.com's recent video on "How Well Can You Really Know a Game" (www.youtube.com/watch?v=cSrP...), especially the segment about the quest for "perfect play" vs just letting things happen and reacting to them organically - it especially reminded me of fighting games.

Jacob Geller with his hands folded in front of him; behind him are boxes of text reading "...Suppress all grace and care and conform my own attitude into the sort of being through which the calculations can pass..." and "...the aciton on the screen must incorporate me, reducing or elevating me to some ideal plane of synaptic being through which the programmed coincidences will take place" and behind those boxes is a game of Breakout being played

great companion to this one

Masahiro Sakurai sitting on a couch looking into the camera, his head tilted slightly; in the upper-right corner is an overlay that says "Unexpected Results." The subtitles at the bottom read "But when you're working with computers, sometimes there's no telling what you might get."

wow this was so easy I'm glad this post went extremely smoothly and didn't involve lengthy and annoying troubleshooting that ended with 'turning it off and turning it back on'
