Virtua Kazama: #PlayMoreVF @virtuakazama.bsky.social · 14h

While I was looking up information about Virtua Fighter 6, I realized something about the Break & Rush Mechanic. At first, I thought it was inspired by Fighting Vipers and Tao Feng, but then I realized that it's actually based on Fighting Vipers and Judgment. Let me explain.

According to 2xkos pricing economics this means you get 6 costumes for Negative 40 bucks. It's pretty dastardly because it's an incredible deal IF you accept the costs of characters and KO points on their face. I think characters are reasonable but the costume prices are absurd.

Can't say they're not swinging for the fences because the Arcane skins in 2xko supposedly have secret variations you can get by holding buttons

Hi Bluesky. Not good days for us artist.
But today is my birthday and I wanted to do, at least once, that thing about asking to share my art as a gift.
Specially if you like comics, because that is what I do for a living.
Thank you artsky

Drawing of a tiefling (human with fiend blood) with greyish blue skin, long dark hair, black horn lit with embers at the tip and red and orange eyes. Wears a long black coat, chest plate and dark pants with boots. He's summoning a blade appearing with green flames.

Fanart of Gachiakuta. In front a boy with red eyes and white hair with darker tips is jumping and pointing in front. Wears a vest, baggy pants and huge gloves. A red haired young girl with green eyes is kicking down with huge scissors (as big as her). A brown hair, blue eyes young adult with monk garbs is jumping with a metallic staff. Lastly, a blonde spiky hair adult with shaved hair on the sides is attacking down with a big umbrella with some blades attached.
On the background some bad dudes on purple, a man with dreadlocks with an evil smile is showing his claw glove. A young girl barely clothed is smirking. And an adult man, from the back and looking on camera, has lengthy dark hair with white on the sides, he wears a big long collared coat.

Hsien-Ko from Darkstalkers. She's a traditional chinese ghost, wears traditional chinese clothes (in pink, yellow and blue), a hat and an amulet covering part of her face. Her skin is pale blue, her hair is blue and her eyes yellow. Has lonng sleeves with huge claws. She's looking at camera with her arms outstretched. Behind her is night in a graveyard.

Splash page from my comic Viper Hunters. It's in black and white with some grey details. A young elf cowboy with a female kobold from a tribe are rding a huge fantasy goat. They are at the top of a hill, looking down their destiny, a huge city surrounded by spiky mountains. The city is a t the top of a cliff, down there is a big river and to cross it they have some long bridges. Part of the country you can see some farms.

Makoto Yukimura was worried that Vinland Saga's farming arc and "I have no enemies" moment was a gamble that readers wouldn't like. I told him about the J. Cole meme from the Kendrick Lamar and Drake rap beef. This is how he reacted.

If “I have no enemies” has become a meme and people remember it, then maybe people will understand what I’m really trying to say through the story, which is that humans are immature, but we can mature. To become mature is to become kind. This is the foundation of what I’m trying to say, but it really has to be much shorter for people to remember. But it does give me hope that people remember these short phrases as memes. Then, one day, it will click in their mind what I was trying to really say in the first place.

Here's the thing: most violence against both women/girls and men/boys is done by men, mostly men they know. It's not strangers or immigrants, it's men. And until men stop being violent on a whim, develop better self control, or are made to stop, they won't stop.
