I'm gonna keep blathering about Darkstalkers.

So from a playing perspective, why would you want someone to make another Darkstalkers game? Do you want a modernized control scheme refreshing the originals? Do you want the Darkstalkers cast in an airdash fighter?

You could frame this as "Capcom isn't going to put Midnight Bliss into a game with full 3D models, are you nuts?"
And we can go back to 2007 to look at why a new Darkstalkers would probably "have to" be a retro sprite-based 2D game: the originals' main unique point was the malleable and transmutable bodies of the cast, as shown off by stylized sprites.

Have to re-up this today in honor of great Canadian and character acting legend Michael Ironside, born on this day in 1950. Same birthday as Abe Lincoln, Charles Darwin and ME your little posting birthday boi! If he tells us to post at the space bugs, we DO it. His name is literally "Ironside"!

Got an industrial (music) hairdo today (had to improvise a tie with a bit of wire from a tie-on label).

Fighting games themselves have had their market shift dramatically from the 90s to the current day with the decline of arcades and arcade machines.

This is also why Morrigan and Felicia are the main representatives of the series- both quite humanlike compared to the cast a whole and both appealing cheesecake, unlike Donovan or BB Hood.

"Your favorite game genre is probably not going to survive capitalism"

I think if someone talks about capitalism as if it were something which has come into existence since the invention of most genres of video game they should not be treated with any respect for their ignorant dumbass opinion.

I made the decision to wade into the gutter and find a copy of one of the psycho Nazi "zero HP lovecraft"'s short stories on scribd, out of morbid curiosity. It went to "psychosexual breakdown over cuck fantasies" in three pages and to Penny Arcade prose in seven. This mf paid for his reviews.

No johns, but I didn't fucking lose. 1. I had a horrible headache the entire campaign. 2. I didn't even know the minimum signatures required. 3. You're being a bit unreasonable. 4. I barely even play my main. 5. My signing game is shit. 6. I was kinda schmoovin. 7. I had a seizure a few moments ago
Oh my fucking god hahahaha “we didn’t actually lose we actively decided not to send in 20k signatures”

His Chain of Command should recognize this as suicidal ideation and conduct an immediate welfare visit and ensure he has no access to weapons or capacity to harm friends, family, pets, or neighbors.

They don't actually care about him, though, so

My wife fairly accused me of writing my most eloquently horny when it's about tormenting a failwoman and possibly the audience too.

Listen.

Sometimes I wonder if I should ever feel a frisson of remorse for my posts. Sometimes I think, "Well, no lightning, no pianos, no Nemesis and Tyche showing up to slap me around. It's fine, despite all the evidence."
BOEBERT attempts to finger the gun's magazine and nearly chips a nail.

MACE: Besides. I don't always. Sometimes I show up with a Little Lord Fauntleroy outfit on and tell them they can't possibly groom me no matter how hard they try. Sometimes that means she pulls a knife.
February 12, 2026 at 1:40 AM
Why are people saving these you people are bigger freaks than me.
MACE: I'm just saying, the [censored] bitches on Grindr, on any of the apps, they barely let me get past the first sentence before sliding keys between their fingers.

BOEBERT: Don't you always open by asking "So how obscenely long is it, blasphemer?"

MACE: So?

Don’t make me press it.

REPS MACE and BOEBERT are sitting in the CONGRESSIONAL CAFETERIA. BOEBERT is cleaning a disassembled handgun in an ineluctably obscene fashion.

MACE: Listen, she's never pepper sprayed me. Nor tased me. Nor cuffed me to a cot and... Well, anyways. I think she wants me bad. The [censored].
REPRESENTATIVE MACE, dejected, makes several attempts to push a pull door at a TACO BELL/KFC, before finally remembering. Her eyes spot REP MCBRIDE at the ordering kiosk, punching in a truly godawful order. A nightcore remix of "Dream Weaver" starts to play on the soundtrack. MACE'S eye twitches.
Maybe I should summon up a fresh one.

Bringing back some of my foulest posts about Nancy "Rifleman" Mace, the Citadel's Most Normal Attendee.

If you didn't like the taste, Dort, you shouldn't have offered to suck off all the clowns.
