art of a computer desktop screen, with the emulator Visual Boy Advance open in a window in the middle. it displays a completely black screen, apart from white text in the center that reads "END?". speech bubbles are coming from the window, saying "We sure had a lot of fun, didn't we?" "Bye." "I wish we could always be together." "*giggle* That was fun!" "Goodbye." "Thanks." "Thanks for everything." "Let's meet again sometime. We can meet as many times as we want." the desktop background is the only thing not drawn, a heavily edited photograph of a field of sunflowers. in the corner, the date reads april 25th, 2012. that was the day I finished mother 3 for the first time.

i love you, too

Maybe I should start only paying money for games that have PT-BR localization

Deserved tbh

That's like trying to argue that a painting made today is modernist because "modern" sometimes means "today" even though the present is no longer in the 20th century

the reaction to the slay the spire 2 beta branch being merged with the main branch is insane tbh, i think a lot of the community would not be able to handle Time Eater in sts1 if it wasn't something that had always existed from their pov

a lot of it speaks to this seemingly fundamental read of the game as one where you build up power linearly and get to thrash people as your reward for Making The Good Decisions but the entire thing about STS is that the decisions you're making have a ton of contextual nuances, that's why it's cool

I run Melee Gardevoir

"you mean physical? Why???"

No she's still a Special Attacker. Just with Melee combos

already seeing the *thing* happen in real time. 'its bad on purpose' 'its supposed to be goofy' 'well the old movie's fireball looked bad so' 'its just doing what the old one did, they're the same guys'

like oh so *now* you wanna relitigate the old one as a standard. suddenly *now* you care

There are people that can make that dynamic really gay though. We cherish those

kids being racist at you always hits different cause you know theyve just been corrupted by whatever sludge leaves the mouths of the people who are supposed to be raising them

Friendly fire will not be tolderated

I mean Scrubquotes lol

Over the past couple years I've started to think that posting people being mad at you over video games is indeed hella funny but collaging them all onto a single social media account is a really bad idea

It's good Erin I like hearing your thoughts and I appreciate your insight

The FGC is bad at pointing out what parts of the game suck and make players do what they do (I agree, only ranked matchmaking and no lobbies is a recipe for RQing). It's also really bad at getting in touch with newbies and what they like and want out of games. I think we've done it to ourselves tbh

But there hasn't been a whole thing of people talking about The Ragequit Issue in that game. Or Marathon, or idk Marvel Rivals. And I think that is, at least in part, to do with the community. I mean, people celebrate the Hall of Shame account as one of the funniest things about the FGC.

What clip?

I don't think my point was contradictory with what you said, necessarily. I was talking about RQing being a topic of Discourse in fighting games more than others.

I've been playing lots of Deadlock recently and people quit like hell in that game. It's also unreleased and only has ranked

Fighting gamers are convinced that this is the only genre that "actually makes you check your ego, face reality and realize your own lack of skill". They believe this as their opponents rage quit and make excuses about "sweats, broken matchmaking, OP characters". Everybody else knows it's nonsense

I remember the kid got in a lobby with him and denied him another game. Just sat there picking characters and showing off the skins he'd unlocked. In a way, the kid figured out how to lame out Justin

youtu.be/BdeHqesLx4s?... I like Godard's point in this (weirdly tense) interview about art being inseparable for economics. People pretend the stuff they like is free from economy (or more broadly. power) but Pollock was funded by the CIA, Michelangelo by the Pope.

he flexing~
