A scene from the video game Dispatch where the character Prism uses her light powers to blind a bar patron in the middle of a bar fight.

Bar Patron in first panel: Aaaargh! She temporarily blinded me.

Prism in panel 2: Fuck you mean temporarily? Bitch you blind foreva!

Yami Yugi permanently cursing a crooked camera man with mosaic censorship vision for losing a dice roll.

Yami Yugi points at a director in a backwards ball cap and shouts PENALTY GAME! MOSAIC ILLUSION!

We see his vision pixellate over the course of a few panels. "Everything is turning into mosaic....?"

If you're eyeing up a new fighting game, but are new to the genre and don't know where to start, I give you my six commandments... A brief guide on how to enjoy, and learn fighting games 🎮

I. PLAY WHO YOU THINK IS COOL
YOU WILL PLAY MORE THIS WAY. TRY DIFFERENT CHARACTERS OUT, IF NONE OF THEM CLICK YOU ARE PROBABLY OUT OF LUCK UNTIL DLC OR A DIFFERENT GAME DROPS.
(SORRY THIS SUCKS WHEN THIS HAPPENS)

II. PLAY THE GAME
IMPROVEMENT IS ONE OF THE CORE APPEALS OF FIGHTING GAMES, ASSUMING YOU WANT THIS, YOU HAVE TO PLAY THE GAME. IDEALLY YOU'D PLAY OFFLINE WITH FRIENDS TO MINIMIZE THE FRUSTRATION OF GETTING WASHED BY SOME ANONYMOUS STONER WITH A 1 BAR WIFI CONNECTION, BUT PLAY IT IN ANY CAPACITY THAT IS FUN TO YOU. YOU NEED TO PUT TIME IN TO FAMILIARIZE YOURSELF WITH YOUR CHARACTER AND THE SYSTEMS OF THE GAME. YOU WILL PROBABLY GET THE BRAKES BEATEN OFF YOU (FREQUENTLY) WE ALL HAVE, WHICH IS WHY ASKING FOR ADVICE IS WELCOME AND NORMAL.

III. YOUR OPPONENT IS ASS UNTIL PROVEN GODLIKE
YOU WILL GET EXPLODED TRYING TO PLAY RESPECTFULLY AGAINST SOMEONE WHO HAS NO REGARD FOR LIFE OR DEATH, MAKE THEM EARN YOUR RESPECT. RUN YOUR MOST IGNORANT PLAYS, SMASH YOUR DUMBEST BUTTON. YOU PROBABLY WON'T FEEL COOL, LIKE YOU DIDN'T EARN IT, BUT YOU WILL FILTER OUT THE CHAFF UNTIL THE WHEAT SHOWS UP TO BEAT YOUR ASS. THIS IS WHERE THEY WILL MAKE YOU PLAY BETTER AND WORK FOR YOUR WINS.

IV. HIT THE BRICKS IF YOU'RE GETTING TILTED
FRUSTRATION AND DISAPPOINTMENT ARE EXPECTED EMOTIONS TO RUN INTO, BUT YOU SHOULD BE HAVING FUN. TAKE A BREAK AND COME BACK LATER. DOUBLY TRUE IF YOU'RE OFFLINE, BC NOBODY WANTS TO PLAY FIGHTING GAMES WITH A DICKHEAD. THE WORST TIME PLAYING FIGHTING GAMES IS WHEN THE PERSON NEXT TO YOU IS FURIOUS THAT YOU'RE STUNTING ON THEM, OR, NEEDS TO BE SOOTHED AFTER BEING THROTTLED. THIS IS VIDEO GAMES, LET'S BE SO NORMAL ABOUT IT PLEASE.

V. RANK IS FAKE, DO NOT BELIEVE HIS LIES
IF YOU MUST PLAY ONLINE, DO NOT GET CAUGHT IN THE TRAP OF GRINDING RANK FOR VALIDATION OF YOUR IMPROVEMENT AS A PLAYER, OR AS AN EVALUATION OF SELF WORTH. IT IS FOR THIS REASON THAT I ADVOCATE FOR CASUAL MATCHES IN THE ONLINE REALM. YOU WILL PROBABLY GET MATCHED UP WITH SOME BRUISER WHO WILL ANNIHILATE YOU. LIKE IF YOUR FAMILY WATCHED THE MATCH THEY WOULD LOOK AWAY LIKE SOMETHING THEY GOUND ON LIVELEAK. THIS IS WHERE YOU FOCUS ON SPECIFIC ASPECTS OF YOUR GAME. BREAK IT DOWN INTO SMALL, ACHIEVABLE GOALS. ANTI-AIRS, BLOCKING SUCCESSFULLY, TECHING THE THROWS, ETC... BECAUSE WHILE IT IS TRUE THAT THE GOAL IS TO "WIN", THE REAL HIDDEN OBJECTIVE IS TO LEARN.
TIP: IF YOU ARE GETTING MANHANDLED AND ARE HARD STUCK AT A CERTAIN RANK THERE IS A WEAK POINT IN YOUR ARMOR, AN ASPECT OF YOUR GAME THAT YOU NEED TO PAY ATTENTION TO*. THIS IS ESPECIALLY TRUE THE LOWER RANK YOU'RE AT. WATCH A REPLAY, OR HAVE YOUR GODLIKE FRIEND SPECTATE YOUR GAME TO GIVE YOU FEEDBACK.
*EX) ARE YOU GETTING BLOWN UP BY FAKE SHIT? ARE YOU REACTING TO JUMP-INS? DO YOU KNOW YOUR STRONGEST BUTTONS? ARE YOU DROPPING BREAD AND BUTTER COMBOS? ARE YOU MAKING USE OF THE SYSTEM MECHANICS? ETC, ETC.

VI. FIGHTING GAMES ARE SOCIAL
OK, HONESTLY, IN MY VIEW THIS IS AS IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND AS THE FIRST COMMANDMENT, BUT YOU WOULDN'T HAVE READ ALL THIS IF I LEAD WITH IT WOULD YOU? ANYWAYS, VAYA CON DIOS IF IT IS YOUR PREROGATIVE TO JUST BE AN ONLINE WARRIOR, OR A HUMBLE LAB MONSTER. BUT FOR MY MONEY, THE BEST ASPECT OF FIGHTING GAMES ARE THE PEOPLE THAT LOVE THEM. I STRONGLY ENCOURAGE YOU TO ACCOST A FRIEND OF YOURS TO PLAY WITH YOU, OR GO TO YOUR LOCAL AND MEET SOMEONE NEW IF YOU'RE LUCKY ENOUGH TO HAVE AN ACTIVE SCENE. SPEAKING FOR MYSELF, THE FRIENDS I GAINED FROM FIGHTING GAMES AND THE MEMORIES I HAVE WITH THEM ARE THE REASON I STILL ROCK WITH FIGHTING GAMES SO MUCH. MASTERY AND SELF IMPROVEMENT ARE MAJOR PILLARS THAT MAKE UP THE GAME PLEASURES OF FIGHTERS, BUT THE ONE THAT SUPPORTS THE ENTIRE CONSTRUCT, THE ONE THAT WILL KEEP YOU COMING BACK FOR NEW PATCHES AND GAMES EVEN IF THEY ARE STRAIGHT ASS, IS THE SOCIAL ASPECT. EVEN IF THE GAMES THEMSELVES DON'T DO IT FOR YOU, THERE IS ALWAYS SPACE FOR THE SPECTATORS, THE ARTISTS, THE COSPLAYERS, THE FUJOS, ETC... THERE ARE SO MANY WAYS TO FIND YOUR WAY INTO THE BIG TENT OF FIGHTING GAMES, AND THERE WILL ALWAYS BE A NEW EXCITING PERSON TO MEET... FIGHTING GAMES GAVE ME FRIENDS, MY ROCK BAND, MY GIRLFRIEND, AND MY LIFE. THEY ARE NOT FOR EVERYBODY, BUT I WISH EVERYONE PICKS UP A HOBBY THAT GIVES THEM THE KIND OF JOY THAT FIGHTING GAMES HAVE GIVEN ME.

physical media is awesome because you just get to look at big trophy shelves of things you've watched and played and look at other people's trophy shelves, c'mon, what's better than that

The fact this is on SNK's official channel is actually kind of a big deal. I'm really hoping that GDQ had no idea what they'd signed up for, and if they didn't then I appreciate this quick decision.

this is actually a good reminder that you should delete the tracking nonsense off of any url that you share online. just delete everything after the ? (including the question mark) and share like you usually would

insane to me that anyone could say one piece isn’t political when it has a trans godmother who looks like dr. frank-n-furter saying the government imprisons people they find inconvenient

“THE PRISONERS THERE COMMITTED DEEDS SO HEINOUS THAT THE GOVERNMENT HAS ERASED THEIR VERY EXISTENCES!”

“THE GOVERNMENT IS ALWAYS DOING THAT TO PEOPLE THEY FIND
INCONVENIENT.”

what are the Six Genders? wrong answers only

Thores @thores.bsky.social · 3mo ago

My conspiracy theory is that XII was going to pivot to being a Soulslike action RPG instead of turn based, w/ a 2026 release. But after FFXVI’s lackluster sales and E33 moving twice as many copies, I think that game will be announced as a spin-off instead, with a more traditional DQXII coming later

Audiences are drowning in so many options now they'll basically take any reason to dismiss your work. Using AI is a rocketship straight to the dumpster.

Delilah S. Dawson@delilahsdawson.bsky.social · 4mo ago

*sigh* If your Kickstarter video/image is AI, I won't back it. If your book has an AI cover, I won't read it. If you're a public supporter of AI use for creative work, I will unfollow you. I cannot stress enough how offensive I find AI use in the arts. It is outright theft, it is lazy, it is gross.

This is my trans agenda

The most effective way to prevent trans adults is to eliminate trans children. The far right understands this, so the focus of its anti-trans strategy is to create an unlivable environment for trans children. Trans people also fully understand this. The democrats and mushy center don't understand it and react as if it's just reasonable "adult" things like transgenderism be kept out of schools and kids' media. They act as if those kids aren't trans already, in the schools already

Trans people are a wedge. Attacking gays stopped working, so Republicans attack trans people to get at gays. Trans minors are the wedge of the wedge. They pick on the subgroup that can't defend themselves and which Democrats are least likely to stand up for

To Democrats, this is a reasonable "compromise". Let go on the trans children, focus on the more winnable rights for trans adults.

For trans adults this is obviously, axiomatically unacceptable because *we are all ex-children*. Anything done to children is something that was done to our past selves

Somewhere right now there is a ten-year-old child who is, for all practical purposes, me. She is experiencing something she cannot explain or yet understand. She is in an unfriendly environment (Texas? Alberta?) that does not help her understand, punishes her when she tries to figure it out herself.

When I see trans children being legislated away, I think: I care more about what happens to this child than what happens to me. I want her to reach forty-one without being broken and damaged, like I am from all the things cis people did to me. I want the next me to have a better life than this one.
