Somehow, it's Tuesday again.
But that means I can play music again! Tune in tonight from 8-9 central, as I bring you some excellent tunes! Tonight's offerings, either jungle or dubstep, depending on how I am feeling later!

Street Fighter 6 network error message
Finally get someone to run a set, matches are going great and you get this shit... sigh
Got 5 characters in Ultimate Grand Master, slowly pushing towards Legend
It has been interesting being in Mexico and seeing so many in country FGC events pop up that I've never heard of previously. Trying to make some time to go out and support one since I have no intention of entering the US anytime soon
Studios didn't hire me because I had no experiences in gaming... So I decided to make my own.
Here's my first indie game: Maseylia - Echoes of the Past.
It's an action platformer, thought as a 3D metroidvania (with backtracking, abilities to unlock, combat...).
And it's inspired by Moebius !

Longtime college friend of mine, Mike Prinke, was among those laid off at Epic Games: he has been fighting terminal brain cancer, and now he, his wife, and kid, have no income or health insurance.

this is also me being grumpy about it being harder to find people who want to play more than 2 games in casual mode in SF6 if they are not the ones winning.
Lately I think I have been feeling baffled by players in "Casual" modes of games where rank exists. Particularly when it comes to how they handle losing and how they approach playing casually, which imo is leading to them burning themselves out in what should be the "fun" games

Donald Trump doesn't care about election integrity; he only cares about disenfranchising millions of voters.
ICYMI, I posted this Q&A with Spooky and UltraDavid about ten/o's grassroots offline support program. Offline is where the magic is.
Trying to explain the difference between introspection vs self-reflection and how both are equally important in the path of self improvement as a player to younger people is frustrating (this is not fighting game exclusive)
As I get older all I want to do is wax poetic about what it takes to become a better player.

Nothing makes me more upset than being in the middle of a sweaty set and getting this error
