hopefully this will put to bed this embarassing mass delusion that some Big Corporation or another will show up and suddenly make FGC mainstream

everyone seems to ignore that Capcom really has the mandate of heaven and also a 30 year home turf advantage in japan

Back to back CotW and 2xko fiascos make me realize those big publishers genuinly have no idea what a realistic bar for success is for fighting games (or maybe they assumed FGC ppl would just all enthusiastically jump onto the newest big game?)

I remember reading somewhere that a lot of issues with Gamers can be explained by realizing they're a demographic of people who genuinly believe they're special for beating challenges that were fundamentally designed to be beaten and that stuck with me

i feel like doujin ethos of that era was the closest to realizing "we all know the girls are what we're here for, so making every girl a lesbian is just efficient storytelling" and then we somehow strayed from that, wth happened

wait what happened

every time i see this image it's a little more crusty from reposting. That's like dendrochronology for how old and popular memes are

Animal Jayson, is playing fighting games on a pad more prole-coded than arcade sticks

oh nooo i had no idea

this hurts double coming from touhou. like bruh your entire thing was founded on comiket spirit and communal creativity and one dude's idiosyncrasies. ZUN still puts his wonky (positive connotation) digital art in the games even tho thousands of artists would do anything to make it for him

imma be real i feel like overthinking Nier (and nier automata to an even greater extent) is a favorite pasttime of many a game critic

you get allegro coupons at work? hell yeah
also, every time you post about laoganma i keep thinking abt that scene in FLCL where the family is eating spicy curry and slowly dying but they insist they can handle the spice

it kinda reinforces my previous anxieties that Dating Sims mechanics are just kinda always going to lead to a part of the fanbase acting really really weird (id wager it's because something as complex and essential for most people as romance just doesnt lend itself well to gamification)

Vast majority of Dispatch discourse I see is just people complaining about not getting to date X character and frankly it's flickin me off. It feels insulting to everyone involved to treat a storyline like a grabbag of waifus just because it has romance mechanics in there.

his "philosophy" book, God's Debris, and his "political thriller(?)" book, The Religion War, are some of the funniest shit i've ever read, and they start with a foreword that says "this book is not intended to be comedy. you are not supposed to laugh"

If anything gamers aren't being opressed enough

It goes even deeper than that, since 4chan culture is very much an offshoot of Something Awful culture. You could basically make a full timeline of events that starts with a Something Awful admin banning hentai and ends with American Century Of Shame

check out The Original Trilogy first
