Addendum: They also mentioned Gabon and Egypt. None of these countries border each other. It's lazy.

It could have been an interesting idea if they had grounded the changes in African history and geopolitics. But it felt like the director was trying to show off the countries they remembered from middle school geography.

Macbeth as an African warlord? Alright, white lady director...let's see what you're going to do with it. The countries mentioned are Morocco, Mauritius, DRC, and Chad?! Interesting choices. And the country they're trying to save is...Scotland? The hell?!

I want to be positive, understand that being an educator is important, but today was bad. Hope everyone is doing okay

If your job gives you severe panic attacks and if it seems like the job is going to close down anyway, it is time to find a new job...

"Mallet smash is so fun. Wait?! Why are you walking away? Guess I'll Rhino Horn in..."

I need to stop messing around when I'm playing fighting games, especially in tournament. Leave the fuckin' around for casuals.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but all Guilty Gear is good. Even Isuka. Even Guilty Gear 2.

Defenceless under the night
Our world in stupor lies;
Yet, dotted everywhere,
Ironic points of light
Flash out wherever the Just
Exchange their messages:
May I, composed like them
Of Eros and of dust,
Beleaguered by the same
Negation and despair,
Show an affirming flame.

-W. H. Auden

I finally won a tournament! With Elena, no less! Let's go! Play fighting games, no matter your skill. You'll meet some of the most amazing people.

I don't know what's the bigger achievement. Winning my first tournament or being admitted to the gay mafia?

I don't think I like fighting games punishing you for blocking for the most part (beyond chip damage ofc). I think blocking in the first place should be punishment enough. Guard bars, RISC, SF6 & COTW drive meter reudction, etc.

Not detrimental design and I understand the purpose, but not a fan.

You know what's fun? Learning languages, reading, and standing (not swimming) in moderately large bodies of water

So close. Though I didn't finish as high as I did last time, there was definitely growth. Fighting games and the people who love them rule

Sadly, a natural function of the inexorable march of time

Issue got resolved

One of the discord invite links is dead, preventing me from joining the bracket. Is there any way to fix this?

Happy birthday! The 30s are pretty good

Having one of those moments myself right now. Care to say what brought it on?

Excited to have done so well. The community is amazing. With @amerikame.bsky.social and @thepepperedcat.bsky.social, I might be a decent player one day.

You always seem to capture Elena perfectly

I am absolutely going to Makai next year. Going to have to level up my game, but VSav is so much fun!

Virtua Fighter for the Sega Genesis rules!

2-2 at Hell Dunk Hootenanny #5. Gotta grind the game. It's a lot of fun.

That is, as a bottom, a great relief to hear.

I can't believe I did it. Made it all the way to Grand Finals! Hope to do better next time.
