I write software for a living and play video games, run, and lift weights for fun. Opinions are my own.

Fighting games are held to a higher and more difficult standard than all other competitive games. Deadlock a shooter moba with literal paragraphs on items and dozens of purchables with crazy builds gets a pass but god forbid you add a motion input and 99% of gamers crumble.
What FGC opinion will you defend like this?

I have never done this It's because I am a massive wuss
Are you really a true fighting game player if you haven't run up to your opponent from full screen and DP'd or Super'd them right in the face.

I put affordability front and center every day. Most importantly, I told folks exactly who it was that was ripping them off, and I grounded it locally.  It's the billionaires and big corporations making record-breaking profits while the rest of us struggle.

I've only played this game a tiny bit but this is the part I enjoyed the most. Moves just track left/track right/are homing but not to different degrees based on hitboxes. It makes side stepping feel incredibly clean/crisp in VF compared to in Tekken.
This is a good time to bring up a fun Virtua Fighter fact: Everyone's sidestep are equally good! Also most of the 3D movement/tracking interactions are hard coded, so most 3D interactions work in understandable ways! It's not full of buggy interactions like every Tekken game!

Watching Gen Z men veer right hits different for Millennials. We lived through Columbine, 9/11, the Iraq War, 2008 crash, 2016 election, covid, abortion bans, & now this. We watched institutions repeatedly fail us while older generations selfishly protected the status quo. 🧵1/

Legit exactly how it feels in Canada. I am well off and I will become even better off if Pierre wins. I don't want Pierre to win because I would rather be slightly less rich and not have the fabric of our society and institutions and planet destroyed.
very weird time where affluent people vote Democrat to raise their own taxes and working class people vote Republican to raise *their* own taxes

OK, federal @liberal_party and NDP, time to get to work. Coalition. New strategy. WHATEVER IT TAKES to fight off fascism in the form of the IDU-supported federal Conservative Party of Canada. I want Canada to succeed, not succumb. WHATEVER IT TAKES. START NOW.
Watching the US embrace fascism is unreal The US can't preach the value of democracy around the world when the Senate & SCOTUS (for starters) are dominated by fascists who don't believe in equality or justice. There is a terrible threat to 🇨🇦 as well. #NeverVoteConservative

I think the Libs/NDP seriously need to consider a formal coalition of some kind. Vote splitting will be the death of the left.

Many Canadian conservatives appear to have forgotten they don’t live in the United States. Canada will be hit by U.S. tariffs. Canada will be more vulnerable if NATO collapses. Canada will likely be inundated with people leaving the U.S. if mass deportations do indeed take place. Canada will face the possible ripping up of our trade deals. Cheering online won’t feel the same once our country starts facing the reality of what is to come.

I don't know who this is but this is the worst take, Coffee Crisp is by far the best one out of the standard Nestle variety pack 😤
