*small fist pump* heck yeah

This classic often comes to mind regarding control schemes.

Happy birthday!

Hollow Knight: Hollow Knight has kinetic, evolving combat, great freedom of movement and increasingly complex, fun environments to use that movement in, but I think the thing I liked the most about it was getting lost. It made the world feel alive and mysterious and worth exploring on its own.

Oni: for something completely different, Oni is a game I stumbled across in a bargain bin back in the day, and to me it still holds up as one of the great character action games. Tekken-esque close-combat combined with limited use of guns to even the odds makes it timeless to me.

Street Fighter 4: In similar fashion, I had poked at fighting games before, but never really gotten further. During SF4s life I discovered streamed tournaments, and I learned what was actually possible. I broke the execution barrier trying to replicate pro combos. Now it's my favorite genre of game.

Warcraft 3/The Frozen Throne: The first game I seriously tried to become good at. I had poked at RTS before, but TFT hit the right balance of pace, decision making and control to make me want to continue to improve, and feeling rewarded for my effort. An all-timer.

I'm following my cool friends' example.

First time ever winning a draft in MtG Arena! Most of my wins came from *actually* getting Valgavoth into play.

Made it to Master in sf6!
