goofy frame perfect landing shenanigans #SS6 #Samsho6

Minor correction: despite sharing the same animation, Rera 421S~S doesn't inflict the same knockdown state.

Some other characters have the same knockdown effect, but it's rare. Nakoruru's bird attacks and Zankuro's 623S & 236D are other examples that cause soft knockdown.

Pagliacci [watching footage of his own show]: This isn’t bad. Areas to improve, but overall, it works. Huh. It’s funny, I avoided this for so long. I was afraid of taking stock of myself. And I was so focused on the road ahead, I never stopped to consider how far I’d come. Thank you, doctor

Not something I'll use all the time, but if it'll kill or the opponent's already in corner then it's free damage. Can't get meaty high/low after but I think it's worth the tradeoff in those situations, and her pressure is plenty good for getting hits.

Rera's CS4 ender borrows her 421S~S animation. In addition to the distinct vfx, it uses a different knockdown sfx and the pursuit window is slightly delayed. The sfx doesn't play if the opponent rolls.

Meaning Rera can easily reaction pursuit on no tech after CS4.

How Silicon Valley and Big Business Created The Next Lost Generation The kids aren't alright.

My latest newsletter is about how big tech and big business has guaranteed that the next generation to enter the workforce will be poorer, less secure, and lonelier.

And why every generation that follows will be a lost generation.

This is not how corporations respond to an ineffective protest. This is how they respond to a protest that they would like to have go away.

So don't let it go away. Keep it going.

In fact, Streissand Effect this shit. Call attention to how much they want this to go away.

VILE: Exhumed may be banned for sale, but I refuse to let that stop people from playing the game.

It’s now available, for free, at WWW.VILEISBANNED.COM

Please share the site, share the game, and fuck anyone who tries to control storytelling and expression.

VILE: Exhumed is a game about searching through an old computer, uncovering dark secrets, and experiencing the horrors of parasocial obsession and misogyny. There are references to sexual assault and violence against women, as well as depictions of gore – this was never a secret. This was the point. It was intended to be released for sale on July 22, 2025 on Steam – the largest video game storefront in the world. Instead, it was removed from Steam and banned for sale. VILE: Exhumed was not banned for its use of gore, or its intense themes – themes that are sensitive but many players related to – it was wrongfully banned for “sexual content with depictions of real people.” The game covers topics of assault, abuse, and entitlement, and uses a combination of FMV and practical effects to create images as horrifying as the themes. This was never a secret. There are a lot of intense visuals in VILE: Exhumed, but there is no uncensored nudity, no depictions of sex acts, and no pornography whatsoever – which is one of the justifications bad actors are using right now to censor games. What this actually results in is taking power and storytelling away from women, other marginalized artists, and ultimately, from everyone. This censorship of my work is a direct attack on creative expression and artistic freedom, and it will not stop with false accusations of sexual content. They will come for anything that speaks more loudly than they do. By giving the game away, for free, to whoever wants to play it, I am doing the same thing I set out to do when I started working on VILE: Exhumed, a game about sexual assault, male entitlement, and misogyny. Taking back my agency. No one is allowed to dictate what kind of horror is acceptable, or what stories are allowed to be told. VILE: Exhumed is now available to download for free as shareware under a CC BY-NC-ND license through a few different methods on this page. This felt like the best option to make the game available to …

VILE: Exhumed, which was banned very shortly before its scheduled Steam release, has been released for free online, including on Github and the Internet Archive. Cara's statement, per the IA page:

What if they were all Ranma?

Since there has been a line between genders, people have thought about crossing it and coming back again. What authors bring to and take away from this thought experiment reflects both them and their times from The Left Hand of Darkness through more recent works.

New post is up!

Dunno if it'd help you but I started wearing compression gloves while playing a few years back and it's helped immensely with fatigue/soreness.

What inexperienced players think regulars are thinking: ugh, more chaff, can't get any good competition around here

What the regulars are actually thinking: THAT'S EIGHT BAYBEE!! NO ROUND ROBIN THIS WEEK! NEWBIE YOU ARE MY HERO

A poster design based on Gene Wolfe's classic Sci-Fi novel, The Book of the New Sun. A figure in a mask is wielding an executioner's sword in one hand and a gem in the other-- his head is crowned by a halo representing the sun. Jungle plants are behind him, as are other characters from the story.

New video out RIGHT NOW!

While watching Castlevania: Nocturne, I was struck by an evocative, and perhaps unintentional, allegory for transition, selfhood and the impossibility of getting away from yourself. I was so struck, I made a whole video about it before I even finished the show.

What That Yo-Yo Girl Doing?

In the distant year of 2022, Bridget transitioned going from queer icon to a different kind of queer icon. I've got a new post on community and canon developments since then, how transness is embodied and holding onto joy in historically dark times.

The discourse never ends.
