Same. I play zoners because my biggest skill in fighting games is pissing off my opponent and predicting the moment they're gonna snap. I would also play grapplers but I'm awful at being unpredictable myself.

Mind games are also a form of resource management in fighting games. "How many times can I do this before my opponent wises up to my habits" is effectively just checking how much of a slowly recharging resource you can spend at once.

As much as I'm enjoying the writing of Fallen London, this is probably my biggest gripe with the gameplay. Rerolling a 92% check twice in a row, in a game where an action takes 10 minutes to gain, feels like a waste of 20 minutes.

I thought this was just beautiful. Kurt Vonnegut takes a walk to mail a letter:

She calls out, “Where are you going?” And I say, “I am going out to get an envelope.” And she says, “Well, you’re not a poor man. Why don’t you buy a thousand envelopes? They’ll deliver them, and you can put them in a closet.” And I say, “Hush.”

I go next to the postal convenience center down the block at the corner of 47th Street and Second Avenue. The woman behind the counter says, “Thirty-nine cents for a stamp.” I say, “I only brought thirty-seven. When did that change?” She looked at me a long time. “Thirty-seven isn’t enough.” “Well that oughta be enough for one envelope,” I said. The line was getting longer.

The lady moved her hand into her coat. I knew this routine. I backflipped behind the man behind me in line, wrapping my elbow around his throat as I landed. By the time the stamp seller had unloaded her clip, I had full cover. The gentleman’s body dropped to the floor, six holes smoking. The package he was carrying fell to the floor with a heavy clunk. Whatever was in there, it would do.

I rolled my foot over the cardboard and did a “flick up” as they call it in soccer. I bounced the package once or twice on the back of my foot as the mail lady reloaded, then I launched it high and spun 360 to deliver my patented “Rising Phoenix kick”. The package caught fire as it shattered through the protective plexiglass window and struck the woman’s head with all the force and hatred I had learned to channel in my grueling tutelage under five fallen Wudang masters in my youth. The lady’s body exploded off of her bones, leaving just a blackened skeleton spinning in her office chair. “So it goes,” I said, but no one laughed. I guess they weren’t big readers.

And I go home. And I have had one hell of a good time.

We are dancing animals. How beautiful it is to get up and go out and do something. We are here on Earth to fart around. Don’t let anybody tell you any different.

we live in a world where "humanity is rotten to the core" is a more tolerable idea than "capitalism is kinda busted" but what I love about "capitalism is kinda busted" is realizing every good thing that happens is in spite of capitalism because humans are that committed to doing good things

My worldview cracked the fuck open during the section on "common sense" and how people reach it. Not only did it help me understand why my politics have changed over time, but also to be more conscious of potential blindspots.

The way marketing is not recognized as key to a fighting game's success is so infuriating. MK doesn't sell well because it appeals to casuals, it sells well because everyone knows about it. This is the first gen of fgs to have a marketing budget (except 2xko), of course they're selling well.
