The Plant Commander @theplantcommander.bsky.social · 15/10/2026It's not even the controls that are the issue, it's that the button icons in these tutorials almost never adapt to your controller. I get it, people use different control schemes, fight sticks, etc, but every time I see this I just think "man, that would be so helpful if I knew what button LP is" 000
The Plant Commander @theplantcommander.bsky.social · 15/10/2026They're hit or miss at that for me. Honestly, one of the best ones I've seen for learning specific characters is Marvel vs. Capcom 3. The combos are tight and mad difficult but that game does a phenomenal job at easing you into character-specific strings and tech. 010
The Plant Commander @theplantcommander.bsky.social · 14/10/2026"We also won't demostrate what it looks like when done properly, won't tell you the correct timing, and will not tell you what you did wrong to drop the combo every time you mess up. Have fun!" 260
The Plant Commander @theplantcommander.bsky.social · 14/10/2026I get that these games are designed to have a high skill ceiling so that extremely punishing strings aren't easy to get away with, but there's no reason for an entire genre to have an entry barrier this obscene. I'm yet to see a traditional fighting game that is truly accessible at entry level. 360
The Plant Commander @theplantcommander.bsky.social · 14/10/2026Fighting game tutorials will really be like: "Did you know the stick makes you move left and right?" "Great! You did it! Next, perform this at full speed. There is no buffer system and we will not show you the actual buttons. We will not give you the option to slow the game down." 370
The Plant Commander @theplantcommander.bsky.social · 13/10/2026Gather round one and all, it's flombastic Tuesday and you know what that means! It's time to play... SLAP THAT BEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 062

The Plant Commander @theplantcommander.bsky.social · 13/10/2026Analog is still cool as hell bro. I love this stuff. Never let it die! 000
The Plant Commander @theplantcommander.bsky.social · 09/10/2026I also play Terry in King of Fighters, Kazuya in Tekken, Ryu in Street Fighter, Scorpion in Mortal Kombat, and Korone in Idol Showdown. Take those with a grain of salt because I suck at fighting games, so the main reason I play them are because the main characters are usually the simplest lol 020
The Plant Commander @theplantcommander.bsky.social · 09/10/2026I main Mario in Super Circuit specifically because I like how easy he is to control. Not sure if this counts but I *always* keep my starter and (in a first playthrough especially) usually the box legendary on my Pokémon team. Captain Falcon is my secondary in X and GX, only behind The Skull. 110
The Plant Commander @theplantcommander.bsky.social · 09/10/2026I platinumed it three days before that update dropped, glad I did now lol. Fortunately it's pretty fast to run through this game, you can pretty comfortably beat it in under 3 hours. I have some issues with this game but overall I love it. I put it below f only because I prefer souls to stealth lol 010
The Plant Commander @theplantcommander.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Weeb edition These all influenced my tastes and stuck with me for some reason or another but anime in general hasn't had nearly as much of an effect on me as games have. Anime is definitely a big interest of mine, but vidwo games genuinely created the person I am today. I just happen to love anime. 150
The Plant Commander @theplantcommander.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Sure I'll bite. Might be forgetting some, I have played literal hundreds of games and many of them have had a lasting impact, but I do think these 9 have had the biggest overall impact on who I am today. These games have all in some way contributed to a major part of my personality and/or identity. 260

The Plant Commander @theplantcommander.bsky.social · 06/10/2026I have major problems with Silent Hill Townfall but god damn I'm gonna be thinking about this game for a while, it's not perfect but man the things it gets right are phenomenal 040
The Plant Commander @theplantcommander.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Galaxy 2 final boss theme, BiS final boss theme, honestly most of the galaxy 1 OST, honestly Jump Up Superstar is overrated af but it's still a banger, and as much shit as I give Mario Kart World that might be one of the best OSTs Nintendo has put out in recent memory 010
The Plant Commander @theplantcommander.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Child me named this guy Señor Watermelon Pants and to this day I have never once referred to him as anything else 0133
The Plant Commander @theplantcommander.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Check out Scorn. It is one of the most disturbing experiences I've ever had. Not exactly "scary" but absolutely horrific in a completely different way. I've never seen anything else even remotely like it. Everything just feels wrong on so many levels. 120
The Plant Commander @theplantcommander.bsky.social · 27/09/2026I wanna see more media inspired by and/or based on the culture of Inuit people. I find their culture and history very fascinating and I rarely see depictions of it. Off the top of my head I can only name three. I feel like that number should be more than three. 040

The Plant Commander @theplantcommander.bsky.social · 12/09/2026I vouch for Dr. Mario and Golden Sun, the people I've talked to about those games have been cool 021
The Plant Commander @theplantcommander.bsky.social · 10/09/2026Look man, all I'm saying is that we've never seen the Seattle Seahawks and Star Fox in the same room at the same time. 051
The Plant Commander @theplantcommander.bsky.social · 07/09/2026Going for the platinum in Kingdom Hearts II is honestly one of the most daunting things I've ever done in video games but shockingly at no point during this process have I not been having fun. This game rules 030

The Plant Commander @theplantcommander.bsky.social · 27/08/2026This is an absolute monster of a lineup. Luigi's Mansion, Xenosaga, Spyro, and SotN are all incredible games. Can't speak on Petz Catz 2 but it clearly has cats and that's a good sign. 020
The Plant Commander @theplantcommander.bsky.social · 26/08/2026Holding out for a physical on this one. It looks really good. 010
The Plant Commander @theplantcommander.bsky.social · 26/08/2026Can't say I was ever a big country fan myself (despite being a from the south) but I do recognize Dolly Parton as a genuinely wonderful woman particularly for being an outspoken ally at time when being one was adjacent to career suicide. She earns my respect and admiration for that. ❤️ 050

The Plant Commander @theplantcommander.bsky.social · 28/07/2026Spyro 1 is such a simplistic game but I kinda love it for that. It's REALLY easy but like... idk man, something about 90's platformers for children just hits different. I feel like a kid again discovering video games for the first time. It's fun. 041
