When the other player quits in fightcade

There's a post two things I've internalized over the years: 1) Unless you are literally paid to do so, do not stare into the abyss of current events more than you absolutely have to 2) It is your duty as a human being to pursue happiness

This is a vital message: one of the larger reasons BlueSky is refreshingly free of alt-right shitlords is because in the early days we made a gentleperson’s agreement to starve these fuckos out and it worked. No likes, no quotes, no engagement. They got bored and left. Please keep the Old Ways.

Trans people warned you: if you allow rights to be stripped of one, you open the door for it to happen to ANYONE. Marginalized people are ALWAYS the test. And so very many of you failed. And now we’re ALL in the same hole. Do you see it yet? We’re either ALL free, or NONE of us are.

Asking again, for anyone out there who wants to run Mystery at events: What's keeping you from doing it? I don't mean that as a call-out, I mean that as "what hurdles do you want/need to overcome?" Reason I'm asking is I heard "Mystery is a Chicago thing" again this weekend. I want that myth gone.

Today I discovered that people have been uploading old stock photo CD-ROMs to the Internet Archive and now I'm obsessed with the mid-'90s business-core aesthetic.

This made me want to test despite having a mask on for most of the weekend. Turns out I've also tested positive. I have no symptoms, but I'll keep testing this week as advised and keep you folks updated. #combobreaker #fgc Stay safe out there folks

16 years ago, 20 year old me walked into Arcade Legacy (then called Arcade Legends) unsure I'd live to see 21. That one day changed the course of my life, and it honestly saved my life at the same time. I will never stop giving back and working to sustain the community that saved my life.

Windjammers is not dead yet Stay tuned

I had a dream that the first DLC character for SF6 season 3 was Jack from Tekken. I was in the venue during the reveal and when he showed up everyone in the crowd started doing his win pose where he beats his chest. Worst nightmare I've had in years.

Important to remember that generative AI is different from machine learning. This is a good comprehensive step in the right direction for any education system imo. It’s better to understand how technology works, its benefits and downsides, rather than ignoring it in its entirety.

Gamers! We are having a big Virtua Fighter in person hangout/training session before combo breaker today at Game Arena Columbus from Noon till 2am so by all means if you brush up on your skills or just chill and have a good time stop on by!

So uh. CotW. Are we all content with just getting throwlooped or leaving fighting games or... ? Cause now it seems like no one wants to play this clownshow of a game and the choices are get throw looped, anime fighters my hands cant play, platform fighters my hands cant play, or leave. This sucks.

Save your money homie. Use it to buy groceries. Rent/mortgage. Use the rest to help friends. Shit is bout to get hella bad

Not trying to be too big of a homer, but when I say that the $450 price is really good (or at the very least, not including tariffs) this is what I mean. It ain't that much more expensive than what Switch 1 was on launch or what Switch 1 OLED is right now (still sells at $350)

"A dream fulfilled in Dayton" is a sentence no one has ever said before

you're not gonna go very far in a tournament without knowing how to quarter circle forward or air dash or hyper hop or whatever, and if you don't know your mouth execution you're not gonna go very far in commentary sets either. that's right, mouth execution. you better execute with that mouth buddy

For you Jammers out there - Windjammers 2 will be part of the community games at Max Mode ( TWT - Data_FGC) in Atlanta, held April 25-27, and at CEO ( @ceogaming.org ) on June 13-15. Specific Dates, Times and streams (if applicable) are TBD. Please consider joining if you are thinking about going

BREAKING: A court overturned Ohio's ban on gender-affirming care for transgender youth. This is a critical victory for trans rights.

Seeing gloom about games not getting into this. Disappointment is understandable but there's a BYOC area and the amount of applications for AIT tourneys is more than any year prior. If you got something you wanna run, there's space, just not a stream. Signed, someone trying to run Towerfall 3v3.

But let us focus on positives. Windjammers 2 WILL be at MaxMode in Atlanta, and it WILL be at CEO in Orlando. Please consider attending. It will also be in Columbus in early April. Please consider attending. If you cannot, consider bringing it to a local. Forza!

As I was told when I was younger, as I will tell others in this very uncertain time: "FOR WHAT WAS NOT PROVIDED, YOU MUST MAKE YOURSELF."

Chatty day. Cant leave blooski out. Been disappointed in people showing their true colors. Its 2025, we're hurdling toward 1955. Some people want that. I dont. Also disappointed in vidya side. Being excluded is bummy, but its business and I understand it.
