I found these two Neo Turf Masters memes in my memories.

every time i log into fightcade i meet the nicest fucking people who have ever lived

I cannot stand how segatet feels to play, but I’m really glad some people do because holy hell it’s so much fun to watch lmao

As someone who hasn’t played Strive since launch, what is supposed to he the counterplay against HC rollthru gunshot? Jack made it look like a looping unblockable.

Peak is back on the menu

All packed for Frosty Faustings. Time to go 0-2 like 8 times because I haven’t played a fighting game in 4 months

vertical shmups have names like "Understated Sadness" and sidescrolling shmups have names like "Glorbian"

the neo turf masters golfers ranked by how much I think they'd be a good Dad

Celebrated Christmas with a British family this year and apparently Runescape is real

Today, in an extremely funny turn of events, I attended someone else’s surprise 30th birthday party on my 30th birthday.

Kinda funny, but thinking back on it, did anyone say the word “gamer” in a speech at the game awards? About halfway through I started to notice every speech rephrased it as “players,” “the gaming community,” or “gaming fans” instead lol.

I’m addicted to this stupid nikke minigame

I wore the Gold Ship shirt while visiting my family over Thanksgiving and got asked if it was Goku.

The connecting flight I missed by 10 minutes got delayed for 2 hours on the runway.

One of the producers on Guilty Gear Strive said it was basically impossible to source player feedback on balance changes online because nobody had original opinions and would just parrot what the most popular content creators said and so they had to rely on data and I think about that every day.

"you have not played the game unless you've played the game" is one of my more annoying but unshakable opinions

Gonna document my TNNT runs here just for the hell of it. 1st run of the year, as always, we enter the dungeon as a knight. Not gonna try too hard for any conducts since I haven’t played in a year. #DekaTNNT2025

We’ve got Oh My God! this week, a matching colors games not that far off from Columns in its matching rules. What sets it apart is basic piece placement: you control pieces like in Snake, having to wind around to find the optimal position and deal with longer pieces challonge.com/PWOMG3rd

Time to lock in for TNNT. I wonder what kind of ascensions I should go for this year. Also wondering if IRC is the main way people find a clan.

For better or worse, the saturday morning staff at the bagel place greet me by name now. The logical result of getting a saturday morning bagel 16 weeks in a row, I suppose.

You ever think “why isn’t Puzzle Bobble more violent and disruptive?”? Well, Azumanga Daioh Puzzle Bobble has your back In spite of being based off the slice of life series, you can do some real mean spirited things with the ability to shoot into your opponents playfield challonge.com/PWBobble19th

You ever play Puyo and go “wow, these little blob guys don’t hug each other enough”?. Well, Deroon Dero Dero has you covered, with pieces reaching across the board for mind bending chain theory Plus there’s a burst. That’s always neat challonge.com/PWDeroon2nd

Wretched creature give me strength in this VSP bracket

Watching through umamusume’s anime as part of book club and it’s kinda funny to learn that S1 and S2 have just been dramatizations of the irl horses’ racing careers. TL;DR, don’t look the real life horses up if you care about spoilers lol

My brain automatically parsing “vanquisher” as orange rank in Tekken makes all of these rank brag posts incredibly funny

Despite not playing (or really even following) the game, I find myself oddly invested in the upcoming Strive patchnotes.

Called @ratttz.bsky.social with the plan of quickly recording some gameplay footage for our Puzzle Touchdown pitch deck, but we ended up playing for an hour because the game rocks. I present to you 90 seconds of absolute IPTD nonsense.

developing puzzle touchdown is the most exciting project i think i've had in my life, i can't wait until you get a chance to play it

Okay, Turkey might actually be one of the most unhinged anime to air in years

Got greedy on a drive and threw one of my discs into a thick ass bramble bush. 45 minutes of crawling around through thorns later, I emerged with 8 discs, none of which were the one I lost.

Chasing an episode of “Catch Me at the Ballpark” with my first episode of “Ruri Rocks” and getting culture shock from the absolute opposite ends of the animation quality spectrum.

After so many years, finally, a real Cirno Deka to call my own

>complete 3 hands >aniki says no 3 times >opponent completes their first hand >aniki says yes and gives some bogus 3x multiplier or something >repeat 4x Not my night I guess.

We're live with Sen-Know twitch.tv/puzzlewednes...

She's ready for the big game!

learning curve for playing nethack

Sweating, panicking They can’t do this to me

We’re playing Pochi and Nyaa this week: Moo Niitani’s reframing of vs puzzles in a post-Compile Puyo era. Instead of intricate chains, you’re building winding paths of pieces with forks in the road and have the ability to set them off at any time. It’s Good Neutral™️ challonge.com/PWPochiNyaa7th

Post a meme made by you

Reminded of the melee tournament where the winner of each game had to soak their hands in a bowl of ice water for a full minute.

Feels so weird watching an anime from ~10+ years ago and just none of the characters have an ahoge.
