Post Global Finals Interview of both the winner of the event Tonchan and Legacy VF Producer Aoki. Some highlights from the Q&As 4Gamer article - www.4gamer.net/games/935/G0... Famitsu article - www.famitsu.com/article/2026... VFDC Thread- virtuafighter.com/threads/post...

mmmhmmm

Cue my shock that the IFPA is not learning any lessons from the multiple times they have done nothing to make meaningful change after massive backlash and show harm to folks who disagree with their policies. They're trying nothing and are out of options.

Let me hold your hand when I say this: we don't have to set every artsy emo indie game in the PNW or PNW-adjacent biomes. It's all starting to bleed together yknow.

Hey gang. I know it's an ask. She's been trying really hard to get on her feet and today's the day. We're still about $1000 out. Anything you can give to help will be greatly appreciated! There are a lot of cool incentives she's working to fulfill also Thank you and if you could please share also 💜

maybe we shouldn't be laying the blame at the feet of contractors for the poor pay maybe people take jobs that pay poorly because they need the work and money, even if it's not ideal. not everyone has the clout to push for better without threatening their livelihood.

Since the topic is RPGs & cultural lenses, I'll repeat that Xuan-Yuan Sword 3 is a must-play in this sense store.steampowered.com/app/1638230/... Set in the 8th century, you flee religious fanatics in Europe to pursue knowledge along the Silk Road. A wild contrast to the usual Europe-centric views

This gives away the whole game, as people have been warning for years and years. This is identity erasure of a whole class. the precedents for having documents revoked by group…are not good.

What's scary about this story is the surveillance it hints at. This trans woman had changed her name, legally, but chose not to change her gender marker. She was apparently flagged in the DMV system as trans and her license was invalidated under a law that supposedly only concerned gender markers.

This game is about to release into Early Access TODAY and I have a spare giveaway key. I'll post it into the replies for anyone to grab once this post reaches 500 reposts

supposedly that fancy new Super Mario Galaxy text generator is AI-based. If you'd like some AI-free generators, I've got a few hundred in the Death Generator!

still seeing a lot of people who swear up and down how much they care continue to get themselves and everyone else sick as if that's sustainable. as if there's no other option. and the option is just standing out in public a little vs paying out the ass for medical care. you think it's hard now?

Trying to help FGC move off of twitter one post at a time. LOOK AT THIS LINE UP FOR THE MIXUP THIS YEAR! SF4 as a main game in 2026. 10th Anniversary of this amazing event. themixup.eu/en

I haven't bought a fight stick since the Xbox 360. For a modern fight stick that is good for either PS5, PC, or both, and for someone who only dabbles in fighting games from time to time and probably doesn't need anything crazy, what's a good modern fight stick at a good price point?

The VOD for the #ACT8 VF5 tournament is now up on my YT channel youtu.be/aBxhVuYQO0A

so many of the world's problems would be defanged if not solved outright if only we permitted people to pursue their interests without fearing they'll be publicly shamed for being less than perfect at them

The Tactics Ogre: Let Us Cling Together manga does an admirable job of recreating the original's magic on paper (shame about Catiua, though...): kimimithegameeatingshemonster.com/2021/09/15/a...

Hey, pssst... Guess who gave a talk about making fighting games at @godot-karlsruhe.de? It's now live on YouTube, folks! youtu.be/BoloHak9aqg?...

…to what neck?

Composing Uematsu-ass 70s prog rock JRPG boss fight music using mid-90s hardware, but with no game to put it to... Hire me imo 🫵

in a way that hits closer to home to followers: dustloop, mizuumi, supercombo, floobyblock etc have all been ddosed by bots scraping literally every version of every page on these massive wikis which has made them have to make really inconvenient changes such as hiding history for unregistered users

But please please please do not cease to care about this when Lud is home. ICE is doing this to countless families, to countless Luds. If you weren’t eyes wide open before, the second best time to start taking action in small ways is now. Not just when it looks “popular.”

It does not have to be something big or flashy. You can call your reps. You can donate to mutual aid. You can boost accurate reporting. You can have that hard conversation with someone close to you. You can consider reducing your spending at places that fund this.

It’s easier to ride the momentum of a collective FGC movement for one of our own right now than it is to keep going once he’s home and it’s not all over your feed. I am begging you to be galvanized by this and continue to consider how you can resist in the long term.

yeah I just can't get a bead on this. Second best selling game on steam now

first time in a long time I have felt like I could not really get a bead on how successful a thing is going to be. I knew in my gut from the first gameplay demonstration that Starfield was gonna underwhelm but Marathon eludes my understanding

A bit late but finally uploaded my matches from this tourney youtu.be/SnuLyNaXQeU

CALL TO ACTION #FREELUD: - Lud’s loved ones are urging us to email and/or call Maryland representatives - A provided script for both can be found here: docs.google.com/document/d/1... - Lud’s lawyer is presenting to a judge on THURSDAY MARCH 5. Action on his behalf is critical NOW.

everybody stay clear on the fact that several fascist autocrats are using the needless death of innocent human beings as a power grab / attempt to manipulate public opinion when their popularity is low.

The fight in the US is “do you think billionaires should be able to do anything they want to you, your family, and your community?” That should clear up a lot. If you’re being forced to use AI at work, don’t you want to fight for a world where that’s a choice? Personal guilt is not what’s at stake.

As someone who, not too long ago, had to deal with similar issues, please give if you can.

In May '25, a beloved Australian games website was sold off. It went dark then, a month later, rose from the dead but stuffed full of gambling links and AI authors. It wasn't the first time, or the last time, this exact thing had happened. And it's still happening. My months-long investigation 👇

Today we have an amazing interview from 1989 with Shigeru Miyamoto and Shigesato Itoi. Conducted shortly after the release of Mother, it's full of deep musings about realism, creative exhaustion, the moral panic over kids & gaming, and prescient visions of the future. shmuplations.com/itoimiyamoto/

Sorry not sorry.

THREAD: Whenever imperialist governments go to war, they become more authoritarian at home. That makes censorship bills like KOSA, ID checks, and attacks on Section 230 even more dangerous. Online protest, documenting war crimes, even news articles could be suppressed. www.badinternetbills.com

i'm going to be at GDC next week and won't really have anything to do, so if you want to sit somewhere nice and talk about fighting games, get at me

Well I hate to do this but I was laid off suddenly & it couldn’t come at a worse time. Any help getting through the next couple days & leads on new employment in Seattle is appreciated www.paypal.com/paypalme/hak...

Heads up! When I acquired the rights to the Digital Pictures game library, @tylerhogle.bsky.social and I found the unreleased SEGA Saturn version of Prize Fighter Heavyweight Edition. It's now been preserved online and can be downloaded for free at archive.org/details/priz...
