Living in the south while watching Evangelion is funny because you don’t know if you’re hearing cicadas in the show, or if they are actually outside.

Not even saying he has to become a critique channel or anything. But even within his positivity, the videos boil down to him just saying “Yall this is ALSO a fighting game can you believe it??”

Like I gained nothing from this but hype and general information. No real point of view or anything lol

Will use this chance to say that I have never seen this dude say anything bad about a modern fighting game and I find that hilarious.

Every single game preview is “THIS GAME IS LOOKING SICK”. He is very blatantly focused on the money 😂

When Samara Cyn puts more emphasis on her Southern accent she no longer sounds like Doja Cat

Jiikae @jiikae.com · 14h

Excluding crazy stuff like infinites. I definitely agree

Jiikae @jiikae.com · 14h

Unless the game is a blatant disaster, the general consensus will almost always be “This is a great game for veterans and newcomers alike!”

Just general vague optimism lol. You won’t really know what the real deal is until later on

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

This a thought I’ve been keeping to myself for so long but you’re absolutely right because niggas get clowned for less today 😭

I’m not even saying this is a bad thing. But “Y2K fashion” today is mostly “Y2K music video” fashion.

If people dressed how we were ACTUALLY dressing in the 2000s it would be hilarious tbh

The only public figure I’ve seen who is truly nailing ACTUAL early 2000s fashion is PinkPantheress.

Has the right amount of basic and tacky

This is exactly why I say historians and record keeping is gonna be super important moving forward. Because the way people just continuously pretend like shit never happened is getting more and more drastic.

People forget so quickly that’s why I never take any of this anger seriously

It means the world to them for 15mins then they forget and act like it never happened lol

Exactly. Its just one of many excuses that people use to hide their ACTUAL issue

Jiikae @jiikae.com · 17h

I’d go further and say even if it wasn’t historically accurate. Assassin’s Creed never was. So it’s a weak argument both ways!!!

Jiikae @jiikae.com · 17h

I hate when people do that thing where they have a nuanced stance about something, so they act like everyone on their side is also being nuanced

Yes, maybe YOUR issue was historical accuracy. But the people AROUND you are using that as a cover up for racism. Open your eyes Link!

Lol at some people online being like “No one would be mad at this game”

Literally just this year people got mad at that game Relooted, that had an African character taking back stolen artifacts from a museum.

The ignorance (or just delusion) to act like there wouldn’t be any outrage is wild

SCOOP: Last year, Ubisoft cancelled an Assassin's Creed game set during Reconstruction. Was to feature a Black Assassin who, among other things, fought the rise of the Klan

Sources: Leadership nixed it over concerns re: U.S. political climate, backlash to Yasuke

Scoop: Ubisoft cancelled a post-Civil War Assassin’s Creed last year

Company leadership deemed the project too controversial for the moment, sources tell Game File

Hip-hop in the 90s when there wasn’t one singular style that dominated.

Jiikae @jiikae.com · 18h

The golden era of every artform will always be the time period when the artform isn’t “new” anymore but people still haven’t fully figured out the exact formula for what works.

So it just ends up being a lot of highly skilled people experimenting with random ideas
