I was missing out.
I need a documentary about the development of Resident Evil 7 and the RE Engine at Capcom.
It feels like those projects together were the medium through which Capcom figured out how to reach their modern success.
I bet there's some great stories from that time.
"Why rollback and netplay events are good for locals, actually"
Last night I hosted a sweet locals session out of my garage and then after cleaning up I read one of the worst fighting game takes in recent memory, so here's my attempt to upcycle it.

Screenshot of a text document that reads as follows: This is a game trying to say something. It gets a bit muddled at times, wrestling with themes it hasn’t quite pinned down. However that does not hold back Metal Gear Solid from lodging itself in my brain. The game carries lingering concerns about nuclear weapons from the Cold War, a fascination with the relationship between one’s personal history and the human genome and how that informs their life choices, skepticism of the systems of power around the world, and a desire to be a badass video game on the Sony Playstation. The game doesn’t have answers or clear messages for all these themes. It simply declares that you choose life in general and to live it. And I think that’s enough. I feel as if the game wasn’t trying to give all these answers, but to compel the player to join the game in contemplating these ideas. And it succeeded with me. Video games with such strong voices don’t come all the time. I would have to imagine much of this voice coming from Hideo Kojima. I think I have to see what the rest of his games are about.
Finished Metal Gear Solid for the first time.
Wonderful game.
Oh he's wonderful! Thank you!

"On protagonist myths, killing your joy, and why I still compete in fighting games"
Wrote for a bit about how my time with martial arts helped me frame my continuing journey with fighting games, and why it's better to be a side character instead of a protagonist.

Returning back to some games from the early 2000's, and I'm struck by how often stray ideas end up in the final game.
Ideas that start from "Wouldn't it be cool if ___," could just be implemented into games back then. Reminds me just how much of game design was found through experimentation.

I have a few criticisms of Fatal Fury, but this is a really good launch version of a fighting game.

Kakeru and Blaz are 2 sides of the same SF6 coin.
Kakeru found consistency through using the character who can remove the most options from their opponent, and being ready for everything.
Blaz found consistency through being right every time.
This match is Street Fighter 6.
I am just old enough to know what this is on sight.
I remember when we got a new mouse for the family computer and my dad excitedly told us, "The new mouse uses a LASER!"
