one of the worst things about user experience now is that you just can't opt out of bad features they're pushing. shit can't be removed, you can't turn shit off, at best maybe you get a prompt to say "see less often" that does nothing. the only real way to opt out is to use a competing service...

FROM MASHER TO MASTER 2 IS OUT! If you want to get into fighting games but don't know where to begin, this book will guide your journey. Featuring art by @koh.money and a foreword by Gerald Lee of Core-A Gaming! patrickmiller.itch.io/from-masher-...

I love to show up every day for my job, which is standing around holding the front of my tactical vest and getting told to choke to death by thousands of passers-by while 11 of my coworkers handcuff a roofer on his way to work. Every night I drive 80 minutes home, thinking about nothing at all.

fighting games be like

I have been made aware of a Japanese cartoon man named “Vegeta.” He screams himself into godhood, his hair achieving ever more operatic configurations. I confess — I admire him. Here is a creature who refuses the tyranny of restraint, who becomes incandescent through effort and rage.

Zohran Mamdani has just been coaxed into a major snafu: he claims that this technique is an example of a "fuzzy" when it is clearly an "f-shiki"

Save Room is a fun little organizational puzzle game in the style of the Resident Evil 4 inventory system. 3 bucks on Steam.

Choked on my coffee a little bit watching the intro to the latest @rooflemongerreal.bsky.social video. Mega Knockdown mentioned?! Full vid: www.youtube.com/watch?v=H9uf...

wow, up to $0/hour? what a deal!

Exploding Judo Federation is out! It's judo on a minefield. If you select "Random" you get to play as a random icon in a little judo gi. store.steampowered.com/app/3806150/...

Pour one out for Itagaki in the best way possible. Exploding Judo Federation is a fighting game inspired by the best part of Dead Or Alive. No, not the bouncing titties. The 'arena is covered in landmines' mode, where one throw or knockdown is an instant kill unless you tech out of it.

Support Mega Knockdown! Dave and Alan are doing an incredible job with the means at their disposal and they deserve every single drop of praise for it!!!

We are going to take a little more time to finish up our planned content for launch. Keep an eye out for our full release in Summer of 2026. (FWIW, the current state of the game has far surpassed my goals for Early Access back in 2022.) #fgc #indiegames #fgcsky 💪🕹️

DR. KYANTA is a new $3 puzzle game by the maker of Ultra Fight Da Kyanta, featuring characters from Kyanta. It's a little bit like Snake meets Dr. Mario. It looks simple, but I think the skill ceiling might be extremely high. The music is really good, also. store.steampowered.com/app/3888240/...

HAFO by @mattrified.bsky.social (horse vs jockey fighting game/combo challenge racer) is now up on Steam for wishlisting store.steampowered.com/app/4105600/...

#HAFO #Steam page is live: store.steampowered.com/app/4105600/... I'll need to update the page, but I wanted something up for this weekend. I also forgot to say it's gonna start as early access. Any help to get the word out would be appreciated! #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame

It's @scrambleheart.city playtest weekend! Gain can combo off his own air super in the corner with divekick if he's high enough. #scrambleheartcity

Sometimes reddit is funny.. but only if youve seen the star trek episode about darmok and jalad at tanagra

Final Sentence is a typing "battle royale" where everybody is in a room with a typewriter and a man standing next to them with a gun who will shoot them if they make too many typographical errors. It's sorta fun but the rounds are a little short. One fast typist can just run away with it.

It bothers me that the might and magic revival games have gotten styled as "legacy" and "olden era." Maybe if Ubisoft (and let's be fair, 3DO), hadn't mismanaged the IP so badly, it wouldn't have been a million years since the last good one.

Doing a short stream tonight, talking game dev briefly and then some gaming probably www.twitch.tv/dhamster

The Skeletons Are Fighting demo is pretty good actually. Very simple art style but the game feels fluid and fun.

There does not seem to be a lot of actual fighting games in this Steam Next Fest. ExploJudo: store.steampowered.com/app/3806150/... Bootsies: store.steampowered.com/app/4062850/... The Skeletons are fighting: store.steampowered.com/app/3412330/... and... that's it?

Played the demo for "Half Sword" on Steam for Next Fest and it's really fun. Very brutal and lifelike feeling medieval arena combat. The game here is set to the "medium" level of violence, which is pretty violent still.

⏳ PLAYTEST SOON This Friday, Scramble Heart City returns! We're a 💁‍♂️browser-based✨ fighting indie game. Our #indiegame is a labor of love, hand-drawn frame by frame and bursting with adrenaline-pumping music!

found exactly the one use of “evil recoils in the presence of Christ” I am willing to sign off on, HOOOOOOOOLY SHIT Father Larry did not come here to fuck around

This game is a LOT of fun. Especially if the execution of fighters keeps you, or friends, away from embracing the brainiac parts of them. Please take the time to showcase this, y'all!

Fellow YouTubers, go to your Settings > Uploading Defaults > Advanced Settings and turn off "Automatic Dubbing" to prevent YouTube from using AI to steal your voice and poorly translate it into other languages. I've already turned mine off before and YouTube turned it BACK ON again.

tfw your burst gets baited (2xko's wallbounce on block thing is quite funny) www.youtube.com/watch?v=zgUK...

It always baffles me how hideously expensive "free to play" games are. People will say "its free!" with a straight face and there's $30-100 purchases to get little locked off parts of the game. Schrodinger's price point.

I was wondering why there was a distracting voice over here and then I realized youtube was badly auto dubbing Japanese lines from the games into monotone English. youtu.be/NusuZ_dqgEU?...

lost my wallet today. sucks. just finished asking my bank to cancel my cards and stuff.

EVERY MORNING I WAKE UP AND OPEN PALM SLAM A ROM INTO THE EMULATOR SLOT. ITS STREET FIGHTER THE MOVIE AND RIGHT THEN AND THERE I START DOING THE MOVES ALONGSIDE WITH THE MAIN CHARACTER, JEAN CLAUDE VAN DAMME. I DO EVERY MOVE AND I DO EVERY MOVE HARD. MAKIN WHOOSHING SOUNDS WHEN I SLAM DOWN SOME

Sure, I'll do the thing

Something unintended but funny I'm noticing about Mega Knockdown is despite this game being like a turn based Street Fighter, many of the biggest fans are Virtua Fighter sickos

Drove with my wife to New York last night to see the Crazy Ex Girlfriend reunion concert. "What other TV show from 2015 is doing this? Eat your heart out, Quantico!"

I tell my Physics students, work really hard and maybe you too can have an equation on your tombstone like this guy
