Playing #MarvelvsCapcominfinite or #MVCI's story mode. Posting thoughts here for a full review later

Firstly, the Deluxe is 2000 yen. A bargain.

Won't let you take screenshots on the PS5.

Dialogue is bad.

Gameplay ... Yeah? Alright? Working on it.

Tired of people posting the "I'd rather have games take twice as long ... blah blah blah" quote and then take a crap on the new Pokemon.

The new Pokemon is your wish. It's old graphics with new mechanics running as well as you'd expect for title dropping every two years.

I cannot stress how great video games are for the consumer rn. We didn't to expect backwards console compatibility until the Xbox One.

Tears of the Kingdom is so large it would have lasted most 1990s kids the whole year to beat (not even 100% the title).

If you like a medium, you should be willing to support it with MONEY not reddit posts.

Gamers expect to pay $35 for a used version of a $60 game on launch day and have it supported with patches, free DLC and bug fixes until the heat death of the universe.

But also, the company should make infinite money if the game is good.

At some point, we need to get of billionaires. Today would be good, but I can accept tomorrow as well.

There is no risk you can take that warrants a billion-dollar reward.

Street Fighter x McDonald's collaboration day!

May y'all enjoy the nostalgia hit!

Yeah, those moment always suck. Hope the people around you were (mostly) supportive.

Wish it was getting less common, but it seems to be happening more frequently than five years ago.

As someone who owns a couple prints of Mina's art, I highly recommend. The quality is very nice and their art is great. (Someday I'll find a spot to hang or display the Mitsuru one I swear).

I once read a well-reviewed child-raising / wellness book that argued kids should never feel shame. And I wonder if we're reaping the consequences of that philosophy right now.

"everyone is mad at me and that's good" is one of the most poisonous inventions of the social media era

I never wash our bread knife – and I won’t let the internet shame me into changing my ways | Emma Beddington

Apparently the mostly British habit of not cleaning your bread knife after use is ‘gross’ and unhygienic. If that’s true, then call me disgusting, writes Emma Beddington

So this is just legitimate ragebait. The context was specifically about expanding the Nintendo IPs and the Nintendo Museum where they can see and use old hardware. Here's the question and answer

Street Fighter collabing with McDonald's is a good enough reason to postpone my diet for another day (or two)

It's C. Viper Day!!

Hope I can stay awake long enough to play a few matches with her tonight.

K. Alexis (Casual Fighting Gamer) @punchywombat.bsky.social · 15d

Still waiting for ChatGPT or any "A.I." thing to solve global warming and world hunger like they promised these machines would do.

K. Alexis (Casual Fighting Gamer) @punchywombat.bsky.social · 16d

Tomorrow: C. Viper! And I only have to teach three classes on Thursday, too.

K. Alexis (Casual Fighting Gamer) @punchywombat.bsky.social · 16d

That's unfortunate, but understandable. Ah well, I'll have to get it for the PS5 even if it means I will play it less

He's definitely one of the growing number of "Professional Opinion Havers"TM regardless of what they are talking about

Accidentally bought most of our kids Chrissie presents earlier in the year, so my wife and I can relax going into November.

The history of the game dev is interesting in that it has been taken over by a group that attempts to revive killed projects (usually from ethically awful pubs). This makes the moral equation of supporting Avatar easy.

Support more weird FGs.

Avatar Legends: The Fighting Game officially announced with new gameplay trailer

Late last year, we heard word that the Avatar: The Last Airbender fighting game being developed by Maximum Entertainment (the developers behind Them's Fightin' Herds) had been canceled. Seemingly out ...

Ah. I hope it doesn't impact their output. They've got a lot of good writers on staff.

K. Alexis (Casual Fighting Gamer) @punchywombat.bsky.social · 17d

Pls be $30 and on the Switch so I can buy it and review it for my site.

But Avatar The Fighting Game looks good! Just wish it wasn't releasing the same year as Tokon and Invincible Vs

I guess it doesn't matter if I mention their name as I don't follow them anymore, so Luke Plunket at Aftermath.

Aftermath looked so good as an alternative gaming site, until I kept following him b/c he's a founder.

Just seems to hate the medium r/n 🤷‍♂️

Almost subbed, too

"Alternative gaming publication" should NOT equal "people who hate the fandom, popular media in the medium and the main companies that make it"
