Shoutouts to playing "unbeatable" games

Yeah it's definitely odd to cheer for these games getting cancelled.

I do think it is perfectly healthy to expect most of these new projects to never get off the ground. Keeps us from being overly attached to ideas that might never see release.

I find it so funny that some of the older MMO players cannot talk about modern MMOs without mentioning ADHD.

As if a game having quicker gameplay and more incoming information is only designed for people with a mental disorder.

Gonna be a spicy comment section o7

Nostalgia will always be what people point to when others enjoy older games' designs.

Liking something for nostalgia is a perfectly fine reason. But once a game holds that population and continues to grow you would hope people might think there is something else going on there.

Should I get my stream setup to stream fighting games?

I think I am also going to give Izumi a shot on Uni2. The local Uni2 community is full of just the best people and I am sad I do not see them as much as I should.

Fighting games update:

Granblue: picked Anila and immediately went into ranked. Very fun game, will experiment with more characters.

Strive: Been playing with a friend, also really enjoying. Same story, need to find a character to lock in with.

Even before Evo, I was starting to feel the drive to play fighters again. I miss being part of a community in person. These updates cannot come quicker this month. I am hoping they grab me like I want them to.

Mfw this could have been me

Man speaks truth

This mentality exists in the MMO sphere as well when the "old" way of thinking was to keep strats private.

I think as long as you don't go around bragging about knowing secrets that others don't, keeping strats to yourself is a totally fine way of participating in competition.

For blasting stuff out loud, I used to have a full 7 piece speaker setup on my PC but now we just use JBL portable Bluetooth speakers.

For PC listening when gaming or w/e I use IEMs.

I think I just try my best to be that way. Doesn't always work out that way in reality. It is very tough, wasn't trying to come off as dismissive at all.

By which I mean share the things that make you happy. People are going to think whatever they want regardless of how much you share with them imo.

Younger me would absolutely be hesitant to share things I like for fear of being off putting because once upon a time that happened. But the older me has realized it's cooler to love the things you find meaning in, even if others don't "get it."

This would be a risky move but if everyone in Japan could stop playing Gundam EXVS on arcades so they will eventually make a PC version I would appreciate it. Lol

Started up learning leverless controller this week. Having a ton of fun but man my ring finger is stupid.

Do I have any mutuals with experience streaming Strive or BB:CF on discord?

Tried streaming them to a friend tonight and the games just sit and constantly drop inputs.

I know this doesn't help but I always got weird toxic viewers on my XI streams as a male too. I even got a pm a year after I stopped streaming regularly telling me I was shit at XI.

Just saw this and read your pinned post. It makes me super sad that those communities are being that way. Glad you are finding joy on retail however.

Let's fucking gooooo!

Ah yeah, apologies! I don't have experience with that.

During matches it's just about constantly putting yourself in those situations and getting used to them so you get adrenaline spikes less.

I don't have any advice outside games though my adrenaline spikes make me hype and I get like a runners high.

The 8 remaster is good but the HD graphics only apply to the character models and not the pre-rendered backgrounds which can lead to some odd scenes

Was kind of hoping with Gundam being at evo Japan we would maybe get a console or PC port announcement. They gotta make the move to home setups eventually

It's a kind of generalization. I always felt like people get excited when companies do unpopular things to stop pirating because fighting evil companies is a better look than admitting they just want free games.

Depends on if my other go to streams are playing something I would rather watch.

You got like a trackmania loving ghost using your YouTube account I guess. I do understand the frustration though.

I always hate when I watch 10 seconds of anything on there and suddenly my whole frontpage is now that topic

It's a fun game though
