"Postmortem: The Godking's Post-Apocalyptic Death Game" Normally I post Q&As on Mondays, but last Friday I saw a Mr Beast Game Designer job listing and got inspired. I never did get a chance to write a postmortem for Game Developer Magazine... www.patreon.com/pattheflip/p...

Brutal photo caption from The Guardian: “Gianni Infantino carefully explains to Donald Trump that he is not part of the Spanish national team.”

Boy's Night - Gator Days

"How do I take notes and set goals in fighting games?" A reader asked what my note-taking process looked like, and how I set goals to practice towards when my path to improvement isn't as clear-cut as it is for a new player. Also, new Xiaomao video! www.patreon.com/pattheflip/p...

boston we are inside you

i am my wife's husband

willpower is a muscle you have to exercise if you want to live a life according to your values. posting the right things on social media isn't gonna bring you peace if you can't live it. if anything it'll make you feel worse. if you want to feel good, you gotta build that muscle.

there are already more FGs out there than you'll ever have time to play in your whole life that do not give money to assholes. play E's Laf, play MBAACC, play anything on Fightcade, whatever, you don't need to wait for your favorite mass-market YouTuber to take a stand. it's never gonna happen.

that check could have paid for our health insurance for a whole year in just like a month of work. i'll never get a chance to say Fuck You as loudly as irene did and if you can't even echo a tiny fraction of that energy then nothing I could ever do or say will overcome your miserable lack of agency.

"but what about the good devs on the team" MF WHAT ABOUT THE GOOD DEVS WHO DIDN'T JOIN THE TEAM BC THEY DIDN'T WANT TO WORK WITH HARASSERS? if anyone on the team gives a shit, vocally not supporting the game gives them leverage to fix things.

But instead I see endless mfs out there like "Evo 🙁 SNK 🙁 Capcom 🙁 if only the FGC had a backbone and standards 😤but i'm still gonna play it though" MF THE MISSING BACKBONE IS YOU ESPECIALLY IF YOU'RE RTING THE GOOD STUFF IN PUBLIC AND KEEPING THE POSTS ABOUT HOW YOU'RE GONNA PLAY IT FOR DISCORD

And during that whole time I never had any issue with anyone saying they weren't gonna spend money on 2XKO bc that kind of reaction is what empowers people inside the company to push for reform!!! I SAW HOW RAISING HELL OUTSIDE MAKES IT EASIER TO CHANGE THINGS INSIDE THAT'S WHY I WRITE THIS SHIT.

"But pat you worked at Riot" Riot paid out $100m in a lawsuit and did years of work to reform the culture! I encouraged the lawsuit and gladly did everything i could to help the company improve! Mike Z sued the employees that he harassed!!! That's years of doing the exact opposite of apologizing!!!

"I'm not gonna play the Avatar game but I won't judge you if you do" nah fuck that. Irene walked away from a five figure payday to say fuck this shit, I judge mfs for just having bad taste in FGs you think I'm gonna sit this one out?? not buying a game is the easiest thing in the world.

IT'S IN THE SONG PAY ATTENTION!!!

All defensive subs for England so this is gonna be tense

England look tired as fuck idk why they're not even considering some subs in the middle

Gotta wait for VAR tho

"How do I deal with the frustration of losing to teenagers with unlimited free time?" A reader wrote in about the pain of keeping up with the kids, which is something I know all too well. But if you want to have high expectations for yourself, you have to earn them. www.patreon.com/pattheflip/p...
