may you attain enlightenment

top half of image is text that reads:
I'm addicted to this Buddhism game. Think Duolingo, but instead of learning a language, you're becoming a Buddhism expert. It's fun, fast, and literally built by game designers and teachers. I finally feel like I'm finding some peace in my everyday life.

bottom half is two screenshots of indie shoot-em-up ZeroRanger, showcasing various spaceships and robots shooting in a two-tone green and orange color scheme

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

I use RETROBAT for emulation, and you can load *custom* videos for every time you boot it up.

So I made up my own!
Here are some of the "E. Station" boot-up intros I made for fun

Day 8 #Combotober

Your Soul Calibur Main

I really miss these times. People crowding the arcade cab for conquest mode, almost everyone had it since it was for every platform....All I want from Soul Calibur is modern presentation and sharp movement based fighting. No meters, no supers, no EX moves

Day 7 #combotober

Your Under Night main

Sorry for skipping Day 6...I don't even have an MK game to meme with.

Anyways, I love UNI's combo system so much. Feels so fluid and clean. Akatsuki stays my favorite in this series (Despite him not really being a UNI character)
