Oh, there are definitely runs that wouldn’t be interesting, like a high punch trick run for Mortal Kombat II or 3. Before I started watching them, I figured they would all be like that. But a lot of them aren’t so much about finding one or two optimal/broken combos and then just repeating them, they’re about finding…

It seems to be a holdover from Speed Demos Archive, which never took any fighting games. They have their own opinions about games like Smash Bros and Lethal League being different enough to get accepted, but it’s not like it’s an accident or coincidence that GDQ has never had a run of a Street Fighter*, Mortal Kombat,…

You had me at Infil. The Killer Instinct guide he did is the gold standard of fighting game education.

I see that GDQ is still keeping to their weird anti-fighting game speedrun policy. I’m sure it’ll still be a fun event, just don’t see where they’re coming from with that.

Siragusa expressed gratitude and relief that she has diversified her sources of income beyond Twitch over the years, as ads represent a “significant” portion of the money she makes from the Amazon-owned platform.

As a kid whose family hadn’t invested in a CD burner yet, it was incredible. I could just borrow someone’s CDs, rip them to my Xbox, and have it forever. There are a handful of certain albums I still listen to that always make me think about the original Xbox background, since I would listen to them so much on there.

“It was taken out of context! I’d explain the context, but I’m running late for the job I don’t have anymore, so I just can’t spare the time.”

Conversely, every round of Street Fighter (along with every other fighting game) I’ve ever lost has been due to cheap, flukey, dishonorable play from people using broken, braindead characters with win buttons. Also, lag.

I’m pretty sure he’s just rushing through “Sir, I’m sorry.” So it’s like “Srrumsorry,” which sounds enough like “Trump sorry” that once somebody floats that idea our brains are like “Hey, yeah!”

I’m not sure why you would assume this. This article is full of examples of talented studios that were pulled over to CoD years ago and haven’t worked on anything else since. Until 2010, Raven Software averaged more than one game release per year. Since 2010, they have only released Call of Duty stuff. And they’re not…

I’m curious what you mean by “forced.” Video games don’t occur naturally. Everything in a game is “forced” in there by a choice someone makes. Discussions like this are how we ask things like “what’s going into the choices being made while creating these characters?” and “how about occasionally making some different…

Yeah, because we all know that if a person says one thing is bad, they’re also saying that every other thing in existence is good.

Yeah, it’s part “I don’t feel like dealing with this right now,” but the other part is long years of working in consumer IT and seeing all kinds of weird-ass issues we ended up fixing by removing one rogue Windows update.

Hey-o, score one for the people constantly telling Windows “ehhhhhh, ask me about this update again next week.” So nice to have my terrible habits vindicated by coincidence.

“Female-presenting nipples” was actually the weird thing that Tumblr said when they did their big porn purge a couple years ago. Last I saw, Twitch’s policy was that men also have to cover their nipples. Although they also have some language in there about how streamers are allowed to dress “appropriately” for the…

I dunno, I played it and wasn’t very impressed with the storytelling. I had a hard time caring about anyone, despite going in really hungry for the setting, and came away feeling like the characters and plot were just very loosely sketched and unexciting. Admittedly, I’ve read a lot of cyberpunk stuff, so maybe I’m…

So, setting aside that Eneba is a grey market site and lots of people have run into account issues because they sell keys purchased with stolen credit card information...

It is happening...again.

It’s a Kinja bug that has proven too difficult for the average herb to have fixed.
