Smokage of the Burning Leaf

A staffer from Cory Booker’s office actually called me back and gave me their direct line. I spoke to them and provided all the details on Lud’s case!! They said since Lud’s reps are already aware, we probably don’t need to do anything now, but depending on how things go in court tomorrow, if they need more offices contacting ICE on his behalf, call again and they’ll see what they can do!!! YOUR CALLS DO MATTER. PLEASE CALL!

please read this one if you've ever had any kind of opinion about fighting games, and especially if that "fgs are bad products" essay made you feel a way. it's probably the best thing pat's written up until now, and that's saying a lot. really goddamn good.

looking at the GDC talks for this year and this kinda sums it up, huh

I eagerly await the return of indie funding!

I think the FGC deserves better writing and conversation.

Please support my work on Patreon (patreon.com/pattheflip) or buy my book (patrickmiller.itch.io/from-masher-...). My work is the most impactful when it's freely accessible, but I need your help to keep it that way.

This one was a lot of fun to write, and took me about a week of morning writing sessions. This is the kind of work I want to do more of going forwards, and I'm really excited to dig into this kind of thing for a while and see where it takes me. Please give it a read and share with your own thoughts!

"Why haven't fighting games died yet?"

I wrote about the unique strengths of the fighting game genre that have allowed fighting games to survive multiple generations of evolution intact, and why you didn't fall in love with a product. Warning: This is a long one.

Sorry to ask but I had a flat yesterday and had to get it replaced and pay for roadside and tow and it put me behind things quite a bit

Some of the most fun tournaments we had in South Florida were run by Will. It's where I met and got to hang out with lots of friends.

I am barely older than he is and it blows my mind that he's no longer with us.

Rest in Peace, Will.

If you come at us you better come correct
