I've got an opportunity lined up that should keep me solvent once it starts, but it won't be until about mid-late January, and I'm essentially at the last of my savings now. The $4000 I'm asking for here (ko-fi.com/sjhdoesgames) should be enough to keep me covered until that time. (2/3)
Definitely. It happened to me in some capacity *and* I wound up drifting into spaces that both reinforced some of my internalized anti-Blackness/respectability learning from my upbringing. Ugly loop to be stuck in, and I'm still deprogramming from it. (1/5)
I really do not understand why we can’t be nuanced and admit that some Black people genuinely were rejected for being weird and that “weird” was often equivalent to “white.” 😵💫

Entirely correct take. Trust me, if I was petite bougie (not aiming this at OP quoted below but what they're replying to) then my pinned post wouldn't be what it is right now and I wouldn't be trying to hustle together enough money to be sure I'm not out on my ass while working on this game. (1/2)
Honestly, people calling creators the "petite bourgeoisie" makes me want to snap.
We're working folk. And we work really hard. For next to nothing.
We're not lounging around eating bonbons. We're trying to figure out how we're going to be able to pay rent next month.

I really hate asking this, esp before the holiday, but I’m having an emergency. My filling broke and I have a painful abscess that needs immediate care. I don’t have dental insurance and could really use a hand. I’m so sorry to ask. I can barely eat or sleep. #mutualaid

I'm in a Discord server where a ton of people are and I know if I make a big enough fuss I'll just get in trouble so I'm leaving them alone. They don't care enough to either notice or stop and I'm not in a position to get them to listen, so I just ignore them or tell them I'm not going to play it.
everyone playing where winds meet did you know that its FULL OF GENERATIVE AI? why are you playing it!

Chun-Li cameos in both Breath of Fire 2 in a really random and out-of-the way event, and Breath of Fire 3. She's joined by Sakura in BoF 3; they're both in the crowd at the Contest of Champions if you look carefully when the camera pans over the larger crowd.

so, let me bring the question back: what is the most useless piece of video game knowledge you know?

Just finished watching the new Defunctland coverage and BOY HOWDY MY OPINION IS STILL UNCHANGED I TELL YOU WHAT.
The main thing I'm intending to get at here is mostly that Disney has always had the most dangerous seed at its core as a company: unchecked ambition. I personally think Walt planted it and it's bedeviled them since because they can't let it go, and everything they do is driven by that. (4>>)

I mostly think that it's always more helpful to simply be honest in saying "this game wasn't for me" rather than "this game is bad" for precisely this reason. If you like IV better than V or V better than 6 I'm not going to grudge you, but you can't say "game's dead" with figures like these. (3/3)

Now some of this might be because I don't pay attention to what FG heads have been saying about the health of the game, and obviously sales figures on their own aren't the only story, BUT to me that speaks of a game that's doing just fine despite what people say about it. (2/3)

as of the last sales figures we have for sfv (sept. 30, 2025, as said here: www.capcom.co.jp/ir/english/b...) SF6 is just a bit shy of overtaking SF2 in terms of copies sold, but most critically is within spitting range of overtaking SFV despite being out for only 2 years. (1/3)

One of the producers on Guilty Gear Strive said it was basically impossible to source player feedback on balance changes online because nobody had original opinions and would just parrot what the most popular content creators said and so they had to rely on data and I think about that every day.
