This is spot on. There’s so much complaining about Street Fighter 6 I feel like I’m the crazy one for enjoying it and not caring if they update it or not.

I wish Street Fighter 6 went the cell-shaded route for its graphics like Guilty Gear and 2XKO.
I may be alone on this but the visuals of SF6 are the thing that bug me the most.

You’re all excited because Alex is Kenny Omega. I’m excited because he looks like Tom Warrior from Celtic Frost.
We are not the same.

2XKO is rather fun.
My goal is to play more and not spend a single cent on it.

Alex looks rad in his Street Fighter 6 incarnation but am I the only one excited about Ingrid?
We don't hate on Ingrid here.

You can’t sell me on 2XKO with League of Legends hype, lore, etc. I don’t give a single fuck about anything in LOL. All the LOL stuff sprinkled in is meaningless to me.
You can sell me on it by making it a sick fighting game.

Bill Watterson is my favorite cartoonist. I adored the relationship btw Calvin and Hobbes as a child. But as I've gotten older, these strips feel even more tender and insightful. My respect for him grew when I learned of his stance against merchandising. Such principles are almost unheard of today.
![Excerpt from Wikipedia reads: "Fight against merchandising his characters
For years, Watterson battled against pressure from publishers to merchandise his work, something that he felt would cheapen his comic through compromising the act of creation or reading.[21][22]
He refused to merchandise his creations on the grounds that displaying Calvin and Hobbes images on commercially sold mugs, stickers, and T-shirts would devalue the characters and their personalities. Watterson said that Universal kept putting pressure on him and that he had signed his contract without fully perusing it because, as a new artist, he was happy just to find a syndicate willing to give him a chance (two other syndicates had previously turned him down). He added that the contract was so one-sided that, if Universal really wanted to, they could license his characters against his will, and could even fire him and continue Calvin and Hobbes with a new artist. Watterson's position eventually won out, and he was able to renegotiate his contract so that he would receive all rights to his work. Later he said that the licensing fight exhausted him and contributed to the need for a nine-month sabbatical in 1991.[23]"](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ks3gpa6ftoyaq7hmf6c4qx4c/bafkreihmgl3sxrmb5t6edpjnixyanj2rvcf43zdv46mbifhl7hdtmz5u6y@jpeg)
