This is a subject I am passionate about and would appreciate a listen. Even better if you could leave comments on the channel and share with us your own stories about moments where you role played a character, even when the game gave you no prompt or motive to do so.

Wirh the love hate art thing being talked about, my feelings is you should be open and honest with how you feel. Celebrate your highs and ask for help in your lows but don’t feel like you need to be a certain way based on what you perceive the standard of how an artist is ment to act.

After realizing that the last few fighters that truly brought me joy have been from SNK and Sega, I feel I should finally admit to myself that I have no love for modern Capcom fighters and possibly have not for decades. Capcom VS SNK 2 was the peak (funny that) and Third Strike is my evergreen child

Keep to heart that the issue with the death of physical games is the corporate threat to individual consumers and actual ownership of what they buy. The indignant, rose tinted enabling of hoarding and games collecting is not a solution to this problem. You wanting to have more stuff isn't advocacy.

it's a little sad that only the preceding two panels are widely known online because this is the exact sentiment i use to justify why i can't plaster my face everywhere on my thumbnails or in my vids. creating an image of me would detract from my points, from the topic itself

Praying for no Smash news. Give us at least one more year of peace on social media. This is not a joke post either. I am dead serious.

Seeing some people *only* ever get excited for remakes, legacy titles, sequels, safe and already established video games is revealing to me how an entire generation becomes thoroughly uncool.
