if you want to know how much games culture has actually changed just remember tim rogers review of ninja gaiden ii in 2008 which said that itagaki's sexual harassment accusation was both extremely cool and probably fake and also if he wants to make a good game he should kill himself like mishima

i'm on fewer things that give multiple bodies for guide so unless i had like exactly pride/vov it's likely not doing anything until t4, not inspired by how little it does by itself
admittedly haven't had many creature midrange matchups since but they're often getting shot by red removal there anyway

robbie @gemsloop.bsky.social · 2d

haha he's been doing well with it! it would have been cool to see the 3-0 but i felt a little bad crushing the dream in the finals 😅

i felt like they weren't doing enough on their own, esp against combo but even in midrange matchups they're often low impact unless left totally alone (unlikely)

robbie @gemsloop.bsky.social · 2d

took out guide of souls + ocelot pride a couple weeks ago (alongside the 1cmc tutors past ranger captain) and really haven't missed them

robbie @gemsloop.bsky.social · 2d

clean 3-0 6-0 tonight on WB D&T 🤍🖤🎉 felt like i was running hot all night and like, constantly drawing relevant hate-pieces lol can't ask for much more (and two combo matchups 😇)
2-0 Boros Aggro (Taxes?)
2-0 Lotus Storm
2-0 Oops! All Spells

28. Hades II (2025)
i liked hades quite a bit and this is definitely more hades! i think the writing is looser and the characters not quite as charming as the original (ending is also pretty underwhelming), the gameplay structure still works very well though of course and it's just very fun to play

One Shot Collection: Final Bid (Law's Out 2)

A mysterious stranger arrives at Stone's Throw, a large, empty city, going through a bust. Join us as we play a one-shot in Final Bid (Law's Out 2) by Vel Mini and Grant.

This is a standalone episode, a great place for new listeners to start!

Podcast album art that is a drawing of a VHS tape coming out of a sleeve. The labels read Some Place to Be, one shot collection, Final Bid: Laws Out 2. The sleeve has a silhouette drawing of a balancing rock and an American western town in all warm colors. The background of the image is dark blue with yellow and pink gradient lines, reminiscent of a "coming soon to own on video and DVD" preview screen.

In Super Smash Bros., the skeletons visible when characters are hurt by electric attacks are not tied to specific animations, and instead are a form that can be toggled on and off at any time, including in cutscenes. Below are excerpts of the game's intro, with skeletons.

i want to go to a magic event again and get more cards signed by artists 🥺 more in the new england area pls..

robbie @gemsloop.bsky.social · 9d

i only really got to see them once each in my games but arachne peeking & naming instant was unsurprisingly very solid against flying men, and spectacular spider-man just as 3/2 for 2 with flash baseline felt totally reasonable

I'm going through old videos and found this from two years ago and I think I tried this because of dot telling a story of doing this when young
