"The right button at the wrong time is the wrong button." I think this alone could be expanded into its own write up. Learning good timing is one of the hardest things to get a feel for, but has so much impact on your play. Good timing can make a bad move look strong.

This makes me think about how characters using ASL are rare in film. It feels like it gives characters a totally different presence in the scene and that could be cool! The character would have to be visible on screen to communicate, which maybe you could do fun stuff with?

"Why ranked sucks and we can't get rid of it" Wrote about how fighting games rely on ranked matchmaking to retain players even though it often makes the experience worse. Read this to learn about friction, addiction, motivation, and how you can Ranked responsibly. www.patreon.com/posts/152427...

Individually, a person who plays fighting games may have a bunch of different complicated nuanced motivations and emotions that are served by different parts of the fighting game experience — not limited to the game itself on their console, but the broader journey of mastery and connectivity. The high-minded ideal FGC stuff I mentioned above is real and does exist! It just doesn’t exist enough to sell the millions of copies that go into funding the next Street Fighter or Tekken. At scale, building and selling games as a service looks a lot more like making a theme park or a casino, where you have customers entering at a given point, you give them choices on what kind of experience they can have in your game, and you give them clear signs and paths to choose from in order to make it easy for them.

In the above section, we established that people play video games because they want to feel something specific. It’s a brief moment of agency in a day where you were otherwise probably at the mercy of some stupid bullshit at your job, or at school, or in your family, or on the bus, or whatever. We spend most of our day pushing the boulder up, and the brief moment of rest we get is choosing the video game we play in between eating dinner and going to sleep, where we get to act like the person we imagine ourselves to be as the boulder rolls back down the hill.

I need a documentary about the development of Resident Evil 7 and the RE Engine at Capcom. It feels like those projects together were the medium through which Capcom figured out how to reach their modern success. I bet there's some great stories from that time.

Finished Metal Gear Solid for the first time. Wonderful game.

Screenshot of a text document that reads as follows: This is a game trying to say something. It gets a bit muddled at times, wrestling with themes it hasn’t quite pinned down. However that does not hold back Metal Gear Solid from lodging itself in my brain.
The game carries lingering concerns about nuclear weapons from the Cold War, a fascination with the relationship between one’s personal history and the human genome and how that informs their life choices, skepticism of the systems of power around the world, and a desire to be a badass video game on the Sony Playstation.
The game doesn’t have answers or clear messages for all these themes. It simply declares that you choose life in general and to live it. And I think that’s enough. I feel as if the game wasn’t trying to give all these answers, but to compel the player to join the game in contemplating these ideas. And it succeeded with me.
Video games with such strong voices don’t come all the time. I would have to imagine much of this voice coming from Hideo Kojima.
I think I have to see what the rest of his games are about.

Returning back to some games from the early 2000's, and I'm struck by how often stray ideas end up in the final game. Ideas that start from "Wouldn't it be cool if ___," could just be implemented into games back then. Reminds me just how much of game design was found through experimentation.

Kakeru and Blaz are 2 sides of the same SF6 coin. Kakeru found consistency through using the character who can remove the most options from their opponent, and being ready for everything. Blaz found consistency through being right every time. This match is Street Fighter 6.

Again this is why you talk openly about things you like and enjoyed and feel others may like as well. Stop just sharing only what you hated cos it’s easy engagement but put the effort into sharing what is good cos it does make a difference.

Is there a discord server for finding matches in SF6 that isn't specific to beginner players? I need to reduce the amount of time I'm playing ranked. This is also an invitation to ask me for matches (any skill level). Please free me from the hellhole that is ranked.

#SF6 Mai is fun to play so far, I really enjoy how her level 1 super is a big part of her gameplan. She seems to struggle against characters with strong projectiles and those who out-range her though. Ed checks both those boxes, so I should be chilling against her.
