Y'all hear about FIGHTIN GAMES?

Got a skill ring from the UQ! Sega fumbled these imo,what could've been a a fun way to increase unique power outside of augs becomes another farm for something prohibitively rare...at least right now anyways. Prices are dropping, so i'm keeping mine.

seems like a non-insignificant percentage of rage against the machine's fanbase are young republican men driving SUVs bopping their head to anti-oil, pro-immigrant songs thinking the lyrics are about how they wish their suburban parents would get off their back

Tom Morello tweets: "Fascinating that all those “don’t tread on me” posers and their AR-15’s are nowhere to be seen and government tyranny is instead being opposed by a guy in an inflatable frog suit."

Someone named Manny replies: "@grok
why do some people say Tom Morello and band mates are RAGE FOR THE MACHINE and not against ?"

Day 11 #combotober

~Free Space~

Punch Planet is a very cool game with what time I invested so far. I love the art style and cancel systems and hope once it gets out of Early Access, it gets the positive push it deserves.

Your Virtua Fighter main

Missed the post for yesterday, but I love VF. It always comes about after a long time or in a space where I can't dedicate a lot of time to it, but i'm glad REVO and now World Stage and VF6 is getting eyes on it

Sometimes there's so much beauty in the world,... I feel like I can't take it. And my heart is just going to cave in.

may you attain enlightenment

top half of image is text that reads:
I'm addicted to this Buddhism game. Think Duolingo, but instead of learning a language, you're becoming a Buddhism expert. It's fun, fast, and literally built by game designers and teachers. I finally feel like I'm finding some peace in my everyday life.

bottom half is two screenshots of indie shoot-em-up ZeroRanger, showcasing various spaceships and robots shooting in a two-tone green and orange color scheme

You can’t trust the general consensus around a fighting game during the first month of release

You really gotta wait til like month 6 to get a clear idea

I use RETROBAT for emulation, and you can load *custom* videos for every time you boot it up.

So I made up my own!
Here are some of the "E. Station" boot-up intros I made for fun

Day 8 #Combotober

Your Soul Calibur Main

I really miss these times. People crowding the arcade cab for conquest mode, almost everyone had it since it was for every platform....All I want from Soul Calibur is modern presentation and sharp movement based fighting. No meters, no supers, no EX moves

Your Under Night main

Sorry for skipping Day 6...I don't even have an MK game to meme with.

Anyways, I love UNI's combo system so much. Feels so fluid and clean. Akatsuki stays my favorite in this series (Despite him not really being a UNI character)

BlueSky CEO Jay Graber has reportedly stated her preference for the Faulconer score over the Kikuchi score and used the Perfect Cell theme as her primary justification, not knowing the version she used was a fan remix
