Saw some chatter on Discord today about gamenewton shutting down; this IS true but turns out it's because the current location is being demolished for urban redevelopment. They already have a new place but it'll be a few months until it opens

i like how 'second' was imported into japanese puyo as loanword jargon, and then 'sekando' got imported back into english puyo itself as loanword jargon

am I the only one who thinks of touhou spell bubble in football terms. like the general gameplan is trying to stop your opponent from getting first downs by hitting awakening and the score gap is better quantified by how many touchdowns you are behind the other player

wanted to try and record the asian games puyo stream for VOD posterity, but realized an hour into it that they were doing funny things with the stream so the audio was never saved. so on top of gaps in footage while I fumbled with yt-dlp things are gonna be real awkward for the first few rounds lol

i was working off the theory that arkanoid is a puzzle game (real), but since arkanoid is just space invaders, that means arkanoid is also a shmup. but since touhou is both an arkanoid AND a shmup that means that phantasmagoria of flower view is also a puzzle game. RIGHT??

the talk about fightcade acting like a "third space" reminded me about the communities that formed on puyoVS and FPS private servers. i think the root issue stems from the "consolefication" of online experiences around the 360 era when both SFIV and MW2 released and became the entry point for play

Had a blast at The Absolute Gathering hosted by East Coast Candy Crew yesterday. Even though I lost in puzzle mystery and lost at Puzzle Touchdown, I won at mahjong which is what really counts. Hope to make it back in the future for more events, their arcade is sick.
