Made some new arcade stick art for In Stars and Time in anticipation for my Hori RAP 4 to ship. I like how this Siffrin turned out compared to my last one!

Hit my sweatiest combo as a happy birthday. This would've been close to killing Warwick prepatch. 😋

Even though the new Steam Controller looks really weird in the hands, I trust the quality of the parts used enough to give it a shot. Steam Deck build quality is so good, I was hoping they'd put out something like this.

Also someone please port RE4VR to PC so I can get a Frame without regrets. 🙏

You simply had to be there...
On this day 10 years ago, it was announced during the 11.12.2015 Nintendo Direct that Cloud Strife was joining Super Smash Bros. for 3DS & Wii U as a DLC playable character for the game. Cloud's reveal trailer, "Cloud Storms into Battle!", can be watched below.

Eyes landed between “Gender Confusion” and “Blood and Violence”

This does not bode well.

I cannot think of a more worthless feature.

The worst part about 2XKO is that it's gotten me back to using Twitter to find tech. It's just as godawful as it was when I left, and I hate every moment of it.
On the other hand, I'm gaming harder and nastier as a result.

I suffer in the irony that despite having devoted my life to learning art and animation, the gamedev idea currently spinning in my head is purely mechanical, and I have no idea what to do aesthetically with it.

2XKO is so peak…
I couldn’t sleep last night because I kept waking up with an itch to play more matches. It’s everything I’ve ever wanted out of a fighting game.

On a totally unrelated note, I'm realizing that next year will have been 10 years since my last time attending Combo Breaker.
Was debating between Evo and CB next year, but it sounds like my plans have been made for me.

I backed the Fraymakers Kickstarter in hopes this would happen. I may have been disappointed mechanically, but I will return for some Hat Kid gaming.
Can't wait to see all the Hat Kid mains take the stage!

I don't think this is what they meant by "quick".

No PC beta is a huge bummer. I understand the whole datamining thing and the partnership with PlayStation, but I guess I'll be missing out on this one. :(

This started off looking like another Dead Space clone, but the longer it went, the more I started to vibe with it. Honestly pretty neat.

Thought about trying out some new hairstyles for Pella. Thought this one looked fun to draw (I was correct). #ffxivart #lalafell #sketch

Hot take:
Vi’s level 2 animation in 2XKO is actually a neat idea with really interesting framing on paper. Having her fully fill the frame on the last hit, essentially breaking through it, is a really bold choice that I respect a lot.
In execution though, having the WHOLE THING be implied is rough.
