If anyone wants some fleshed out references and details of my characters designs, this is the thread of links to their respective folders!

I'm still messing around with these folders as we speak, but I have comments on in case you're looking for something specific

I hate that making movesets for my characters became significantly easier when I switched from fighting game oriented to beat em up oriented but with Blake it instead became significantly harder

Because it feels relevant as we continue to evaluate the media and our representatives’ statements, my favorite way to identify the active vs. passive voice.

A post by Rebecca Johnson:
“I finally learned how to teach my guys to ID the passive voice. If you can insert "by zombies" after the verb, you have passive voice.”

A tumblr respond from mightymur:
“The final, brilliant word on passive voice.
"She was killed [by zombies.]"<--passive
"Zombies killed [by zombies] her." <-- active”

Look at what we could have. look at what our tax dollars could pay for. Instead we’re paying to have ICE pepper spray directly into the air hole of a guy in an inflatable frog costume

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."

I shouldn't have to download a system update on a flash drive just to start up a GAME on a GAMING CONSOLE that's 600 fucking dollars

Video game consoles should be accessible for the tech illiterate if I need to do a bunch of bullshit just to access the basic function of the system you failed

Dead Game Connoisseur @austonishing1.bsky.social · 1d

Got a PS5 for work. Turns out, you have to REGISTER THE DISC DRIVE for it to work. Can't connect to the internet to update the console to register the disc drive because the PS5 doesn't like the wi-fi security.

If I have the discs and a disc drive I should be able to just pop a fucking game in

As somebody with asthma who uses inhalers - SHUT THE FUCK UP. THIS ARTICLE IS SHAMING PEOPLE WITH A CHRONIC CONDITION.

"Significantly" My ass. You know what else does? AI Data centers - corporations - cows - asphalt - THOUSANDS OF OTHERS THINGS THAT ARE NOT MEDICINE.

Fuck you - fuck you again.

Inhalers contribute significantly to global warming, study finds

Millions of Americans using inhalers for chronic lung diseases like asthma may be unknowingly contributing to global warming, according to new research.

Been reading up on X-23 comics and it is really funny that in Target X Captain America is like "It doesn't matter she was brainwashed, she's responsible for every one of those murders!" when the Winter Soldier storyline happened a year ago lmao

Is vgen useful to anyone? I made an account there on a whim just because lol

Dead Game Connoisseur @austonishing1.bsky.social · 5d

Zeku would absolutely recruit him so he could have the time of his life and Guy would be so pissed

Dead Game Connoisseur @austonishing1.bsky.social · 5d

Also Ibuki, even though she's not a Bushinryu ninja Zeku did try to recruit her for it

Dead Game Connoisseur @austonishing1.bsky.social · 5d

If we never get another Final Fight game I'll take a game about all the Bushinryu characters becoming the first iteration of Striders

You can't tell me Guy, Maki, Kimberly, and Zeku in a Strider game wouldn't kick ass

This is actually super impressive?

In modern basketball games we kinda take this angle for granted because of 3D models but seeing it done with sprites is wild

Slam Dunk for the Sega Saturn is a third person shooter

Anybody out there got a good resource for gifs of KOF characters?

Fighters generation is pretty useful for Capcom stuff but for someone like K' he's missing alot of animations

Just so folks have a frame of reference Shana is basically wearing these two pairs of cargo pants in her main designs but with the waists switched lol

Got to play the 6 player version of the X-Men arcade game for the first time a few weeks ago and I'm really shitty there's not a port of it out right now

Like damn it would have made a killing on the Switch
