Yakuza Kiwami 3 really needed a known sexual harasser in the cast, you see.

Very grim that they're cutting the 2XKO development team's size in half not even a month after the official launch on consoles. I'd be shocked if the game is successful after this, now that Riot's cutting it off at the knees. www.gamedeveloper.com/business/rio...
Riot Games lays off roughly 80 employees from 2XKO team
Riot Games has laid off approximately half of the employees working on its League of Legends-themed fighting game 2XKO.

- Hamburg, PA: $87 million
- Tremont, PA: $120 million
- San Antonio, TX: $82 million
- El Paso, TX: $123 million
- Social Circle, GA: price unknown
This is unprecedented.

Part 1 of my Strider livestream is now on Damage Control Blog's YouTube channel. I get acquainted with a game I've never played, and it shows. Strider is fun and definitely a product of the late 1980s!

I couldn't quite get it done. And at the end, played a bit of the 2014 Strider remake. I made it to stage 5 though, so maybe next week will be my week.
The stream is over! We made it to the final stage, but got overwhelmed with everything Strider throws at you. Let's try again next week! We raided @dopples.bsky.social who's currently playing Killer 7.

You could have told me that this was JP from Street Fighter 6 instead of Magneto in an alternate skin in Marvel Rivals, and I would have believed you. They should be bullied into making a new Marvel vs. Capcom game for this, or even just a new X-Men vs. Street Fighter game.

I can't help but feel a little sad about Super Sentai ending, even though I haven't come close to watching all of them. Toei said they might do movies and specials over the next decade, so it's not too late for, I don't know, Shin Gorenger.
