When the other player quits in fightcade

There's a post two things I've internalized over the years:
1) Unless you are literally paid to do so, do not stare into the abyss of current events more than you absolutely have to
2) It is your duty as a human being to pursue happiness

This is a vital message: one of the larger reasons BlueSky is refreshingly free of alt-right shitlords is because in the early days we made a gentleperson’s agreement to starve these fuckos out and it worked. No likes, no quotes, no engagement. They got bored and left. Please keep the Old Ways.

"LOL Nintendo's screwed this generation! They're screwed! They messed up! It's time!" The Switch 2 sold more units in its first 4 days than any game console in history. That was not "all scalpers," nor was it exclusively-online hype. The only thing that's "exclusively online" is the brigade of haters screaming "$500!" and "$80 games!" under any video/post that mentions the console. Call me a fangirl all you want. The only thing more embarrassing than a fangirl is an obsessive hater. Go focus on the shit you actually enjoy and stop defining yourself based solely on what you despise. You'll be happier, and you'll stop stinking up the place with your negativity. 💖

Trans people warned you: if you allow rights to be stripped of one, you open the door for it to happen to ANYONE.

Marginalized people are ALWAYS the test. And so very many of you failed.

And now we’re ALL in the same hole.

Do you see it yet?

We’re either ALL free, or NONE of us are.

I said this in 2023, too. Very confused, but excited!

Personally, I always look forward to the 2v2 in Mystery as well, even if we get hosed in some wacky way, we learn so much that we're carrying forward for mystery here.

Thank you, Guardian.

Asking again, for anyone out there who wants to run Mystery at events: What's keeping you from doing it? I don't mean that as a call-out, I mean that as "what hurdles do you want/need to overcome?"

Reason I'm asking is I heard "Mystery is a Chicago thing" again this weekend. I want that myth gone.

Two dudes standing around a watercooler, presumably having a 'watercooler conversation' about last night's Seinfeld or whatever.

A guy in a suit on a city street doing some damn business on a cell phone. The business never stops!!!!!

Today I discovered that people have been uploading old stock photo CD-ROMs to the Internet Archive and now I'm obsessed with the mid-'90s business-core aesthetic.

This made me want to test despite having a mask on for most of the weekend. Turns out I've also tested positive. I have no symptoms, but I'll keep testing this week as advised and keep you folks updated. #combobreaker #fgc Stay safe out there folks

16 years ago, 20 year old me walked into Arcade Legacy (then called Arcade Legends) unsure I'd live to see 21.

That one day changed the course of my life, and it honestly saved my life at the same time.

I will never stop giving back and working to sustain the community that saved my life.

Windjammers is not dead yet

Stay tuned

I had a dream that the first DLC character for SF6 season 3 was Jack from Tekken. I was in the venue during the reveal and when he showed up everyone in the crowd started doing his win pose where he beats his chest. Worst nightmare I've had in years.

Important to remember that generative AI is different from machine learning.

This is a good comprehensive step in the right direction for any education system imo. It’s better to understand how technology works, its benefits and downsides, rather than ignoring it in its entirety.
