-NEW J DROPPING HOT-
This has been on my brain for months and the only way to purge it is to make a video about it. [PRESENTING: EROGE GIRLPOP] is now live!

I have no concept of who this Yaki person is and am only barely aware of some of the people in their circle, but seeing another post of someone coming forward titled "Sir, an eleventh Google Doc has hit the Yaki towers" has me fucking weak
I'm getting real fucking tired of seeing the conflation of video game difficulty with disability accessibility because holy shit those two things are not the same and I'm seeing some kiiiiiiinda gross implications from it
Strive when you get put in the corner: don't worry, we'll reset you to neutral. We wanna make sure everyone gets a chance to play
SF6 when you get put in the corner:
Kingdom Hearts 3 has been delayed so long because the Director can't decide what bomb ass Utada Hikaru song he wants to use. Please be patient, this is an important decision
real quick, this is going to be a huge FGC weekend with a lot of new people interested in DBFZ. Let's get something really important out of the way
Never
Think
You
Are
Too
Untalented
To
Attend
A
Tournament
this is the biggest FGC fallacy and now is a good time to avoid it

I need newer players to understand that back in the early Street Fighter 4 days, YouTube content was so nonexistent that FREE1UP* would upload hundreds of ranked matches with a camcorder on his CRT and each video would get THOUSANDS of views
*this is in no way a slam on FREE1UP
It's not a goodbye, but I'm going to be moving on. Thank you to everyone who supported myself, Mia, and the other events I worked like Youmacon.
Please remember what we did with MiMas. I may not be a TO anymore, but I'll always be part of the FGC and I'll always be an idol~
I've been seeing the promotion roll our for Diesel Legacy, that brand new 2v2 fighter. There's one big thing that the promo (understandingly) isn't mentioning that feels important with regard tp the FGC
MikeZ is working on it
i need the EVO broadcast for UMvC3 to cap out at 720p, have the commentary mic sound like its somewhere in the third row, and do that thing where the audio cuts when it redlines
TOs be writing war time letters in an attempt to contact their loved ones again, trapped in a never ending deployment where the once-calming view of the sunrise now only signals surviving another day. GFs is reset, but they feel nothing. They no longer can feel anything
Wiz, already six feet deep, decided that a twelve foot grave would be more appropriate by letting the world know he doesn't understand how Twitter dot com works
Me: Chainsaw Man is crazy good this week
My wife, sobbing: I don't know how to communicate with you anymore! The only thing you talk about is how crazy good Chainsaw Man is! I don't even recognize you!
Me: Chainsaw Man was crazy good this week tho

Dumping on Strive is super old hat, so let me mention something based on what Samifish once said.
It is mad depressing to me that Guilty Gear, a series I was obsessed with for a years of my life, is now one of the top games in the FGC & I can't muster a fuck to give about it
The DNF PR cycle has been a comedic rollercoaster, but I did find out the game had rollback before I saw the HP bar and that's the kind of energy I wanna see moving forward
One of the things I love about old SF4 is that you can find footage that is comparative to today's footage and then find footage that looks like it was rescued from a WW2 bunker and then see that the two tournaments were 4 months apart
Tbh I'll take 8am pools anytime bc I'm a functional adult who can wake up on time and it gives me the greatest chance of having groggy/hungover opponents or opponents who straight up don't show
We out here for W's, any way we can
>we intentionally left out information in our tutorial
>lowest rank players did not interact with specials or mechanics
>we see this as a success
I am fucking aghast
With King of Fighter XV only days away, lets take a second and look at what got us here. Specifically, looking at the game we cant stop bringing up for some reason.

"does a disabled person have the tools to defeat Father Gascoigne" vs "Is Father Gascoigne too hard for those with disability". Those are two veeeeery different questions imo
And that's why these two points should not be conflated. Accessibility should be about giving as many people as possible the ability to play a game as intended. Backing that on difficulty feels like talking down to those less able by implying that games are just too hard for them
I think a fair amount of people see this as the end of funny captions, that's not the point of this change. Please understand the difference between a funny quip ABOUT the move and preforming Open Mic Night under someone's 2S
We at Dustloop think that lightheartedness is part of our culture. That said, we no longer want captions that are off topic, or detract from the quality of the article. We will be asking for volunteers to help clean up captions on the site. Below are examples of bad captions.
I'm never gonna get over how we had Melty Has No Drip discourse like last year or something and then DA Noel showed up with an all time horrific character design and we were saved by the """""dripless""""" White Tee and Levi's Aoko
I love that everyone thinks Uni is the last bastion of games stuck on delay, because the last bastion is actually Bamco 3D fighters but there's even less belief those games will get rollback than when we were told it was nearly impossible to get rollback on Xrd
Hey I don't like fueling any "eSports Boogyman" but take a hard look at the ways RL Dickless and Monte talk about they FGC and our affairs. Not only do they de-legitmize the impact of any "non-pro" player ("fluke") but openly insult the idea of amateur players/locals belonging
The process of learning King of Fighters
- learning all aspects of jump/hop
- learning the flow of offensive pressure
- learning to keep 3 character's muscle memory
- learning Spanish to understand the memes
"my landing got punished"
- weak
- implies a lack of schmoving
- the way a novice pilot talks
"I was arrested for schmovement crimes"
- rugged, sexy, dangerous
- implies you might have just schmoved too hard
- makes you a criminal (how on brand!)
Today is one of the happiest days I've had in my decade+ in the community.
A game I help get off the ground go into Combo Breaker
I ran through losers
I reset grands
And I won on the big stage
I wanna cry right now 😭😭😭😭
The literal question of "could a disabled person beat Father Gascoigne" is where that gross melding of ideas hit me. Instead of asking if there are the accessibly options necessary to bring the ability of disabled players up, it is asking if games are too hard for those disabled
We are at a point where awareness of accessibility to video games for those who are disabled is increasing (ex: Microsoft's new controller) and it makes the argument of "CouLD a DisAbLeD PeRsON bEAt SeKiro/DArk SouLs?" feel kinda mean

Honestly I'm just super tired of performative horniess being an unavoidable aspect of the FGC. Horny TLs, nsfw channels in discords, performatively horndog brand accounts
I'm so tired yall

"I may be a bigoted shitbag who has a long history of being an irredeemable asshole, but you forgot one thing [presses buttons -really- good]"

Hi the fact that I prefer women has been the biggest factor in me not feeling comfortable in coming out as bi. Dudes are -really- hot sometimes and I woke up to it a year or so ago but wasn't comfortable coming out about it.
Also hi I guess, I'm Bi
Imo the most best rivalry in the modern times is GO1/SonicFox in DBFZ, the idea that we need villains/heels is outdated & tiring. The last massive villain rooted against was LTG & instead of being written off the show his loss only made him a bigger & more popular shithead

: A player who goes by “Joe Biden” has operated at the highest levels of Guilty Gear. The Post reached out to The White House to ask if the player and President Biden are one and the same. For some reason, The White House did not reply.
