Deadlock feels like a peek into another universe where fighting game conversation is actually about the games

Violence translation log 1: Some of the weapons on the table are super not direct translations and just importing the same weapon would make the later advice of “weapons not on this list could be mapped to one of these” much harder. Most of the time the Spanish word is much more specific.

People are really fucking weird when I mention I was raised in Islam. Like, I’m still the same person?

Online is not fighting games. Just played a very long set of MBACC with locals and had a absolute blast. It is perhaps the genre that enables the most expression, care self-improvement and character work that I know of. Even when the online conversation is rancid. I’m grateful to be a part of it.

LRP: the book of Ryan's that got banned was this one: a choosable path adventure that gives the player agency, like choosing a buff Juliet to go live her life. I, and lots of other artists, contributed to this work. I'm glad I was able to, and remain very proud to have done so! It's a great book!!

Guilty Gear (Canada) #guiltygear

Reading about Atari era gaming magazines.

After I saw locals playing Violence Luke Gearing I asked around if any wanted to translate the rules. Since no one volunteered I decided to take up the task and translating this has given me a lot of appreciation for the it and the art of translation.

I am playing Ur-Quan Masters again. It is the best sci-fi game ever and no one has come close!!!!

Game Balance is fake!!!!

Running mothership for the first time soon! I got a fun group and I’m really excited! Any tips for a first time warden?

Kinda don’t like Umamusume at FG events as an Organized Thing

I genuinely hope I can mantain interest in my work in spite of my sickness. It does honestly feel a little scary to rest and not be doing shit.

Reading some Kierkegaard and learning about his three knights.

its time to admit it: CLAMP are ten million times more prophetic than hideo kojima

Art residency programs are such bullshit to apply to

A Fun Brain Challenge and a Thinking Adventure.

one of the best things i've learned in fighting games is that you don't have to know why the good players do the thing first. just do the thing you see in the Xrd mikado videos from 8 years ago and you'll learn why they do it after. replay theater has the sacred texts and they're searchable.

I want to live in looney tunes so bad. It might be a gender.

Steam chart watching is kinda like using medieval biles in a modern hospital

Grass needs to survive on its own merits. It can have rain from the sky but it’s not getting any help from me.

I am so loved by the people around me 🥰

One day I am going to be healthier and I am going to go back to running vanguard, this time in full, and it’s going to be so awesome

Been feeling like an incompetent moron lately. My self-esteem is not all there.

Does anyone remember when they implied Ridge Racer and Ace Combat where the same universe?

I feel bad talking about video games that I've been playing recently when it's been several weeks having not written anything (let alone making videos) However, i feel like I need to share the easedropping animation from the new James Bond game because it's so ridiculous

just a heads up folks - as i've seen a few negative reactions to NYTs Top 100 TV shows list - they commissioned me to write their Top 100 video games of the 21st century list. To get ahead of the potential bad press, gonna let you peek at the top 25 so far
