a cat is sitting down with the 'hood' (keyboard) of a computer open, attempting to fix (tools and parts and computer chips on the floor), as another cat and kinda angry looking dog dance to music.

oh also Mercury has never had any matchup guidelines ever, even on the old wiki, so I was keen on getting these out even if they aren't complete
mercury finally has matchup information on dustloop
while it doesn't go into great detail (i tried to make the descriptions a good base rather than super techy) im hoping it's a good starting point for new mercury mains

tending to my linux system is actually so fun and rewarding
much nicer than just accepting that things don't work the way i want them to on windows
Happy Easter folks
This might be a controversial viewpoint, but I think if you're going to offer your opinions on how a game plays then you should probably play it first.

Sailor Mercury wandering the liminal space known as the closing hypermarket. Pictured, a seemingly endless refrigerated section of a market in pitch darkness illuminated solely by the working lights of one refrigerator, in the far distance more singular working lights can be seen. In the foreground sailor Mercury lies in a fetal position on the floor, next to her, her supercomputer and carton of milk, an unopened sandwich package and the crumpled empty packaging.
Quitting was always easier.

purple ibm (font in horizontal lines) logo up the in the top right of a mainly white screen. bottom left: thinkpad power series. a rectangle across the middle has graphics of a pointy depiction of a person (cave painting?) and the person with a pointy arm halfway enveloped by a galaxy. they are pointing to a sphere or planet in blueness. lines split this graphic into three joined sections.

its so funny. i used to KIND of think the same way too (not as bad) but i’d stay away from em for a long time for basically the same reasons, being too intimidated by them. but then i played like a SINGULAR one and every other game after was hardly much trouble. u dont gotta play like a comp guy idk
after playing all the SNK arcade fighting games this is the one that stuck with me the most. it has a fun cast of characters and a very well documented wiki, making it easy to get into. try it out tomorrow!
