Was anyone else obsessed with the joke combos you could do in pocket fighter? And the aesthetic in general…. Gah capcom used to be so fucking silly.

tl;dr everything you actually need for survival comes at a premium

I understand the feelings of loss and abject grief that would cause someone to make this statement, but saying that “fans that haven’t seen a new game in a franchise in three whole ass decades have it easier than fans of a single game that came out less than three years ago” is FUCKING INSANE.

Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves is $23.99 as of 11/10 despite launching 4/24. They’re so desperate for this game to sell, all because the Royal Prince of Journalist Dismemberment isn’t making his investment back after mandating that a real world soccer playing rapist got put on the character roster.

oh my god

Hey, Vermont. Particularly the Burlington area. Next Monday, 11/17. You should show up. It’s gonna be a fun time. And every two weeks, we’ll be doing it all over again. Don’t sleep on this.

This means everyone will finally be able to practice up for playing it on real arcade hardware @ locals @wnfc.bsky.social

If Nintendo is putting things on deep discount sale, things have to be going poorly. They don’t put meaningful discounts on a goddamn thing.

Hey Gaming Bluesky: I wish a lot more of you cared more about how The Game Awards uses full on fraudulent lip service towards pervasive industry issues to seem like they’re the good guys than you do about what got nominated for awards in the middle of your fandom advertising block.

I’d be much more excited for this if Nintendo wasn’t currently in their “irredeemable bastards” arc.

I think the thing that frustrates me most about the Democratic Party is that very few of the party’s most ardent supporters, members, officials and scions seem willing (or even interested) is asking why it is they’re the only ones with a Trojan Horse problem. They *always* get thwarted from within.

These are the eight Democrats that decided to sign a death warrant for millions. Fuck the “big tent.” There is no tent when people under it decide that a whole lot of people deserve to die. Don’t ever talk to me about purity tests, stay worried about failing one and what it says about you.

Only the Democratic Party can look into the face of some of the largest protests in American history, experience some of the most significant electoral gains in recent memory, and still willingly decide to be utterly spineless in the face of a moment that demanded their fortified vertebrae.

I think Senate folders are significantly underestimating how fucking angry Democratic voters are at them

OutKast is inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame: “We started in a little room. Great things start in little rooms”

WE ARE SO GODDAMN BACK Y’ALL

perhaps the most egregious thing that happened with the Future Class was when The Game Awards took money from Old Spice in the name of the FC & simply... pocketed it it wasn't used to fund Future Class initiatives, it wasn't used to help lift marginalised developers they just profited from us

ICE agents will one day be treated like the domestic terrorists they are, and will face the trial they deserve.

@gundamn.bsky.social @soulbroryu.bsky.social @cguanche.bsky.social Thoughts?

Again, fuck @thegameawards.com. Year after year, always paying lip service to legitimate industry issues and causes it does nothing to help address or solve, all in an effort to make things seem okay for the benefit of maintaining unprecedented access to the industry’s most corrupt mechanisms.

I was a member of TGA Future Class 2022 and lemmee tell ya, my skin has been crawling since pretty much every interaction I had with them (few) & story I heard about other members' interactions with them (many) was bad. & by bad I mean, so many shades of being used as photo op tokens & nothing more

The world’s first trillionaire initiated a move that has left more than half a million people dead, most of whom are children.

I will never knowingly hang out in a nazi bar. Anyone still over there is only giving the worst people on earth money and data, and for what? Social reach in the nazi bar? Fuck outta here.

A just nation would have put this company in the dirt after Cambridge Analytica.

For some reason the media is not mentioning that the reason GTA6 is being delayed is they fired 40 staff over threats of unionization and now the rest of their staff are revolting

my new mayor getting sexual predators off the streets on day 1 i KNOW thats right

I can absolutely understand what that feels like. If someone comes up to me and starts speaking to me at high syllable speed, my brain will simply treat your attempts at communication as background noise. I’ll see your mouth moving. I’ll notice your eye contact. My ear-brain will register NOTHING.

It’s almost like a sociopolitical ideology centered around generating massive amounts of generationally-inherited wealth by not having a single solitary shred of care for anyone beyond their immediate family creates the perfect breeding grounds for normalizing sociopathic behavior in governance.

Please note the Secretary of Health fleeing the room when confronted with a sick person, and the take-charge President just staring into the camera with an annoyed expression.

Square Enix demands OpenAI stops using their content to train generative AI, but also says that they expect AI to drive their QA within the next two years, then announced mass layoffs for western arms of the company. Never buy anything from Square Enix ever again. Ever. Fuck these corporate ghouls.

Unfortunately I’ve been laid off today from Square Enix, so if anyone has leads for any Community or Social positions please let me know. I’m just tired and heartbroken.

Who’s surprised? MrBeast has no soul. We already confirmed that.

two seconds ago they were popping off at the mouth with all that "we wanna 70% offload all our QA and debugging work to genAI" so now both them and EA are perched on the same precarious ass bubble. nvidia, too. this industry finna Crash-crash

in unrelated news Paul Pelosi is retiring from investing

who will take the lead on buying thirteen thousand dollar fridge freezer combos full of talenti gelato now who could possibly fill her shoes as “lead white woman kneeling draped in kente cloth” please tell me who we’re going to look to for “tell josue to bring the car around” political leadership

1.) don’t buy anything Star Trek, it benefits a company currently firing all producers and staff of color 2.) LEGO has decided to basically become Gunpla

The New York Times is out here saying things like “can conservative feminism fix it” with a straight face as if that isn’t basically saying “can dehydrated water solve thirst?”

It’s bad enough Morgan Fairchild is showing everyone her hand, but Frakes built a whole character off of being a stellar card player and he doesn’t even bother to display good hand discipline either. Yeesh.

Look I love you Morgan Fairchild but why are you showing me your hand

And that’s the sound of me ending a thirty-five year streak of being a Square Enix customer. That’ll do it.

The truly maddening thing is that, unlike when I was a young man in science and the materials and engineering just weren’t there yet, the future is *right there.* The problem is *solved*. What’s holding us back is not just greed, but this bizarre nostalgia, an obsession with petro- masculinity.

Hey, friendly reminder that Scott Cawthon's donations to the GOP literally contributed to SNAP suspension and you shouldn't buy or stream Five Nights at Freddy's anything.

This here is burned into my brain

Never speak to any reporter for the NYT. Best to assume they’re out to make you look horrible, no matter what they tell you.

heads up to anyone who holds trans kids near: amy harmon from the nyt is searching for and having a hard time finding people to interview to find out exactly what trans kids are doing when their care is limited or cut off, and for purposes of community safety, please shut the fuck up around her.

Ms. Rachel is not a national treasure. She’s a human treasure. She’s a planetary treasure. If we were all more like her, we wouldn’t have half the problems we face.

Yet another neoliberal who was more than happy to sit on their hands in the face of genocide out here trying to publicly co-opt a victory they had nothing to do with but somehow still feel some ability to gain something from. Please go away.

A neoliberal, using Generative AI, a tool developed by and exclusively for the benefit of right-wing technocrats that believe human creativity is something that can be distilled into an algorithm, to make a dunk on the great enabler of technocrats, is real “watching the ouroboros in real time” shit.

In The Real Ghostbusters episode “Take Two,” the team attends the premiere of their own movie… which turns out to be the 1984 live-action Ghostbusters film. Words cannot describe how mind-blowing this was for any kid watching.
