Jokes aside, this is absolutely massive for me

There are about 1000 of you give or take that have tuned in consistently for every single video in the last 5-7 months, and you made this possible

The first step to full time making you the best gaming content possible

Its easy to forget in the 21st century, but it does not matter if a game looks good in footage or just watching it, it only matters if its engaging while PLAYING

Beginning to understand the Shmup IQ chart

40 IQ - "I have got to MOVEEE"

90 IQ - "Must stand as still as pond water"

140 IQ - "I have got to MOVEEE"

There is an interesting type of guy in the Arcade space that hangs around, but doesn't actually play arcade games!?!?

Something people don't get is that social media is not a place for nuance

Nuance is for productive discussions within groups with a shared foundation

Almost done with Season 1 of Jujutsu Kaisen.

This is going to sound very "Guy who has only seen boss baby" from me, but kind of feels like discount Hunter X Hunter

I truly don't understand the attachment to high player mobility in Bmups

1. It's not a big source of depth with physics and 3D space

2. "Where will the player be?" Is already a complicated enough balancing affair

3. The actual playstyle it produces is lame
Great example of why you want to heavily limit players mobility in a Beat 'em Up

Notice how emu devs are increasing the performance of the PS3 rather than playing games...

Spent whole two days trying to 1CC a three minute game. Totally worth it.

I dont think Arcade/Permadeath games ruin campaign games in the traditional way where you really cannot touch them at all

But it does ruin them in the sense that you now have this hole and flaw you notice, which dampens the experience
