playing poker night 1 reinforces a few things

- team fortress 2 has an everlasting legacy
- strong bad's will create new vocal tics despite never growing up w/ homestar
- max is surprisingly well-adjusted without his husband
- awkward zombie is the only consistently funny online video game comic

my mind went places when reading poker night 3 so here

Not sure if this is a hot take, but Poker Night wouldn't be Poker Night without Tycho. He doubles as both the table's straight man (mostly) and its "archenemy." He also serves as an important reminder of where gamers came from and where we shall never return

It's Samus Aran, no wait it's a Ditto. It's a Ditto from Pokemon as Samus Aran.

I think the Ditto Human in Pokopia is the funniest thing I've seen all year and I will be riffing on that idea, thank you very much.

yeahg 👍👍👍

Case in point:

Been thinking about indie fighters lately. Lots of cool stuff out there, though the projects I'm most interested in — @scrambleheart.city, @shotonefighters.bsky.social, @shatterpointgames.bsky.social — are still in the Coming Soon™️phase. Even @punchplanet.bsky.social has yet to leave early access 😭😔

If it were up to me, this would be mandatory reading for all fighting game players (heck, all video game players, for that matter). I can't make that happen sadly, but I can at least repost and spread the word. Read this article!

There is a solid chance that one of their ultimate goal is to be like WWE in that they will attempt to Counter Program every event out there scalping entries by offering larger payouts in an attempt to completely control the FGC tournament market

The Fear Gas Special

"Arc System Works announces futuristic alien interrogation game where you play as ICE and also it uses AI"

I don't even think it's that they need single player "content", moreso that they need intentionally-designed onboarding systems designed to teach newbies how to play not just the game, but fighting games in general.

But that's also a solution exclusively for future games, so IDK what the answer is.

Happy Valentine's Day from Alex! 💘

Serious question, when did Konami start having respect for itself? I thought the company would be pushing remakes and collections forever. Turns out the new Contra and Silent Hill weren't flukes, however, because the State of Play revealed a Castlevania, another Silent Hill, and a new Konami JRPG(!)

Shovel Knight? Now you've got my attention

The 2XKO layoffs are awful. I don't play it, but I know many ppl who do, and the game's hardly a flop. I especially feel bad for Tom and Tony Cannon—Rising Thunder gets canceled following Riot's acquisition, and now the company loses faith in the duo just bc they're not pulling LoL numbers? Come on.

english-translated webpage of mikado's youtube playlist for countering "kusokyara" (kim kaphwan), the title reads on each video "Countermeasure against shitty characters: Fatal Fury Special Episode [X]"

learning that game center mikado produced a series of fatal fury special videos going over specifically the kim matchup with every character. just kim.

20 bucks is crazy work

Made this post exactly one month before Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund fully bought out Evo... too little too late, I guess.

It's worth pointing out that, in the two weeks since the acquisition, the only FGC personalities that I've seen speak publicly about it are Jiyuna, Brian F, and Sajam.
