Gundam UNICORN ep is approaching, so be sure to use your built-in pressure actuators, pilots! Niko was busy being reconditioned at Anaheim, and @its-erin.com joined us for a great talk about the dumbfounding terrors of neoliberal storytelling (and robots ig). Listen here! osgpod.com/posts/2026-0...

everyone goes crazy for high maintenance speed whore and i get it

comes up behind you really suddenly. hey. i write things occasionally. take a look below......................

frankly kind of maddening how good deadlock is. they got me. they fucking got me

Time for a new forecast, pilots! Got some all time hypeisodes coming up (according to our CEO at least)! We also may or may not have recorded a commentary track on a deeply relevant live action film.... Thanks in advance for the guests @its-erin.com and Jon Spacecolonystudios!

(thought it was Trans Day of Vizier Ability) and as you can see from my demonstration, this poison is odourless, tasteless and untraceable,

what im saying is that there will be 100 deadlock imitators and they will all have neutered items and easier movement and shorter rounds and so on

but actually it does have a lot of nice features to this end - some being very standard moba fare like the builds ui, and other things like its particular blend of soul disparity scaling and catchup mechanics - they're just careful not to compromise stuff like movement or itemisation for it

"but, your highness," you say, "deadlock is not terribly approachable. it's really hard actually!" to which i say yes that's exactly what i mean

i think part of what makes deadlock sooo fucking good has gotta be how well it chooses its battles in terms of being approachable for new players

Had to show him the right stuff during this formative period

(turning on my hater voice) frankly why did they even make gurren lagann when this already existed (turning my hater voice off) sorry (turning it on again) not to mention they already made diebuster too

if you oppose all mobas on principle then you are Just and Right but the thing is that deadlock actually does have the sauce. im sorry but it just does. i know you don't like it but it does

my mom asked me if i'd put the chicken in the oven. i replied, "getter robo armageddon". she started yelling at me, because she knew it was raw.

Witness the beginning of an #ArcUniverse.

solaris 2002 was so fucking bad goddamn

"any advice for improving at fighting games?" my sincere answer:

apartment searching as a trio all on universal credit is stressful and annoying but we can for sure do it

if they're giving just evangelion series to ffxiv alliance raid designers now, i think the return to ivalice guys should also get one

obviously im not going to watch it cause lmao but it does bear saying that yoko taro is one of my enemies

- and ng+ is nice because every boss is above that threshold. even enenra jumpscare

the game has kind of been a pushover since i got the last tier of ninjutsu besides the few bosses with enough health & phase shifts that my ailment stacking ass hits the "my railgun no longer electrifies in 1 or 2 touches" wall, which is more fun because i have to actually fight them -

finished nioh 3. hit that ng+. enenra in the first crucible. it's peak

btw being fully put off by nioh loot is coward shit (sit down, my friend. we are going to play diablo 2) but crucially it is actually trivial to ignore it & just take 30 seconds out of each hour to quickly put on whatever has the biggest atk or def number in each slot

i was joking with Miss that the loot in nioh 3 is the one thing they haven't iterated on but im closing in on the end of the game now and definitely thinking that isn't actually true

watching something incredible tonight

fighting games are being "saved" every day by everyone who plays them, every TO, every bracket runner, everyone who wakes up and decides to care about this shit at all. it's all there for anyone who cares to look. if you don't want it, you won't get it, but it's there. it always has been

the conversation's been had, the trials have been run, the project is over: fighting games are for a particular brand of pervert. they are not to be saved by some mythical silver bullet propelling them into the hearts and minds of the average "consumer" at the behest of the capitalists in our heads

cool gameplay dynamic where you mostly whittle down a boss' health and ki until you have an opening big enough to start going nuts and then you keep going nuts until the boss is gone

was already fun to do this sort of thing in 1 and 2, i definitely hit some sick strings towards the end of my time with them, but 3 lets you go even more ham with empowered arts... especially if you mix up frost moons and flux and weapon swaps. it's so good. it's so good

thing I'm appreciating a lot about nioh 3 is the way it feels to string together arts across multiple stances during empowered arts... it's not just rewarding & powerful to keep it going for as long as possible but it also just feels really nice. good feedback

sorry random elite enemy in nioh 3 but you really chose the wrong game to be in. does 7 empowered heavy attacks and skills in a single flawless sequence including a perfectly timed guard point against your attempt to interrupt me and you explode into 100 distinct body parts

lrts nioh 3 is really, really, really good

i was very excited about this game and to be frank my expectations have been - at least at this point, 12 or so hours in - dramatically exceeded
