people are talking about sega canceling the super game, but imo the more unsettling thing from the fiscal report that I completely missed is sega buying an online sports betting company like yeah they always had a pachinko/gambling division but this imho crosses a line from skeevy to deeply immoral

the comment about diegesis is kinda interesting because the aesthetic qualia -does- matter to some extent in puzzlers (see discourse around planet puzzle league/panel de pon or PPT/champions) but it's kinda murky how much that affects mechanical appreciation overall (tetris effect vs other tetrises)

PGRS starts again on May 30, yay :) ...the first online qualifier takes place on the exact same day as HFS, which many international players are traveling for ): ...if the entirety of France is going to be at HFS, and Ascension is usually the ones streaming PGRS, who is going to stream PGRS 🤔

#puyopuyo ok so after reading the rulebook for PGRS, rules are fairly similar, but there are a few changes, such as: - Official SEGA tournaments are now on Champions PC, as opposed to PPT2 PC - Other Region Finals expanded to 32 players, but still just top 2 qualify for Puyo Grand Prix 2027

the main thing stopping gyro from being standardized in FPSes is that people are gonna have to confront the fact that they can't aim and have been crutching on aim assist all this time

did not expect this pull

turns out i lied and i was crutching on hold pieces / move reset to give me extra thinking time

I like browsing the evoj side tournament list cause sometimes you're just like wtf is this

ive been trying to write up a neocities post about isomorphic keyboards, but the issue is that the more i work on the draft the less focused it becomes i mean like yeah everybody says Just Write™ but every time i add a new topic that branches out into two more tangentials

PGRS 2026 REAL!!!!!!!!

ppt not having as big a fanbase aside, it's funny to see mvc3 rollback getting a 10k bounty while nobody has tried taking a crack at ppt2 netcode. between that and ppvs, just goes to show that mediocre is the enemy of good

considering whether I should let my domain registrations (puyo.us / puyo.guide / rockra.in) expire this year. .guide in particular is like $33 a year and it's so far out of date and I have no interest in fixing it. any y'all still steering folks towards it??

Mihara tweeted out a 12 minute run of TGM1 and disabled replies. tapcord suspects this might be a tease for a Steam port of TGM1 since the UI doesn't match the Arcade Archives release plus there's a few suspicious graphical artifacts possibly not caused by capture method

There's gonna be a little Puyo Puyo Fever tournament on www.twitch.tv/suzuranspuyo... in half an hour. I decided to participate. I love Fever. :-)

has anybody tried to come up with a mahjong/rummy variant using a tarot deck

i designed advent league 2022 with the expectation that puyo players who won the big auto-qualifier tournaments would pull back on entering the smaller tournies that were only worth ranking points extremely fatal assumption

A year ago @juno.luckyraven.cc and I announced we started a new project. Today I'd like to follow up on that and formally announce Lucky Ravens, our four-player digital boardgame crossover project featuring our all-star luckyraven.cc lineup and friends! Build a deck, roll the dice & go for the gold!

deadlock aint a real fighting game until they give mina an ojou sweep

checked my death mode diary and i actually haven't set a new PB in over a year. mostly cause I've been "working" on my <300 speed instead of survival past 300. played slowly to get this score for carnival leaderboards so I guess the past year actually hasn't been a wash??

somebody show these guys the yuuki 17 chain

hell yeab (seems like they took out the AI art?)

under night and TGM retrospectives dropping within two weeks of one another is crazy work

just realized that we're coming up on the 2nd anniversary of PPPP (april 4th). first off i thought it was a 2025 release but if the 2 year apple arcade exclusivity window is real, it's getting pretty close to that time...

the ichihime !superb! emote but instead shes going 'thats right'

people are rightfully giving the former Activision CFO shit for that insane quote in the jeff kaplan interview, but you gotta remember that the rot came from the top

cool

I never got around to it, because my social media game is weak and I don't use tiktok/youtube. but one of the things I wanted to do with advent league 2022 was cut highlights of good shitTM plays

And Puyo Puyo Sun over here youtube.com/playlist?lis...

aw shit its almost carnival of death time again last year i said i was going to actually grind tgm in a productive way and that... hasn't happened
