THE team was actually Uvogin/Morel/Chrollo. I don't know why it shows Leorio.

The best part of October is I can expect my feed to be at least half Darkstalkers fan art, most of which is Morrigan.

#MKD has made many big steps forward, the amount of polish and little touches to the gameplay have really fleshed out what was already a strong base gameplay.

I highly recommend checking it out if you want to try a fighting game that does something different.

Something unintended but funny I'm noticing about Mega Knockdown is despite this game being like a turn based Street Fighter, many of the biggest fans are Virtua Fighter sickos

found this in my notes, good advice for aspiring devs

Rules for Game Dev
1. The gamer is always gamer
2. Games aren't finished, only completed
3. Always keep at least one infinite loop in your game to trap malevolent spirits
4. Don't code the small stuff (it's all stuff)
5. Respect the seven axes of player motivation
6. A bad game is bad forever, but a broken game is right twice a day
7. It's not about who you know, it's about knowing who
8. Disregard the eighth axis of player motivation
9. You couldn't make Super Mario today. Try again tomorrow.
10. The game developer with the most victory points at the end is the winner
11. Do not acknowledge the howling skull

All of the good strategies in Balatro are so anti-fun.

Once I stopped trying to do anything remotely interesting, I was able to unlock all of the decks and beat most of the difficulties.

Fun when it comes together but using anything but a safe strategy means you will probably lose a lot.

5 months is nothing, I put something off for 3 years until I finally took care of it this week. Took maybe 15 minutes.

Every pundit who took at face value the idea that the Right sincerely cares about free speech, or ideological diversity, or in fact has any principles at all, should be wearing a dunce cap and writing a lengthy mea culpa right now. Not for our catharsis but for public awareness at least

I've lost count of the amount of times some random gfaqs guide for a game has come in handy for me. Easily searchable, easy to access, reliable (and easily backed up).

Mechalink @mechalink.bsky.social · Sep 1

Final Fantasy Tactics, mechanically, has been so well documented by fans (on Gamefaqs) that there was play-by-post wargaming done for it.

Piracy is a big part of preservation, but don't fucking insult the fans who did the actual work being referred to here by making shit up. Thanks in advance.

very direct evidence that video game piracy is important in the preservation of video games

DS9 scene. Rom is a Ferengi hero who has a large bald head and giant ears and lobes that sort of connect to make a unibrow and a ribbed pine cone looking nose. He's wearing a jacket that looks like those lick and stick backsplash tiles you can get at Lowe's. He's pictured here standing in a corridor, talking to someone and holding/reading a PADD. Closed caption reads, "Workers of the world unite. You have nothing to lose but your chains."
