Pretty lame, but I’m really excited for Akira and Oro; Dan’s always fun to have around, and I like Rose as well. 

I’m keeping hope alive, but that’s a long, looong shot thanks to Capcom suits 

Agreed, and there are many who believe cats randomly stare and act odd because they can see/sense spirits. I’m not onboard that train, but I do stop and think about it whenever I see my cat doing it haha.

Dammit this was your one chance to riff off your username and post a Bastista thumbs up gif!

Definitely influenced by TMNT and Bruce Lee, they made nunchakus a must-have for me haha. I used to have quite the collection of TMNT toys, they’re still somewhere in my parents’ storage. My friend basically had a woodshop in his garage, so we went all out and actually made some legit wooden ‘chucks! Man they hurt…

Not sure, but if I were to venture a guess I’d say console only. 

I find it amusing that 1) It’s such a generic looking character design, 2) Activision felt the need to (allegedly) steal such a generic looking character design, and 3) They were (allegedly) so sloppy and lazy when it came to stealing a generic looking character design that they easily should’ve been able to just toss…

Just terrible. And apparently she was falsely reported dead a year prior. Not like I kept tabs on her or anything, but I’m actually surprised I wasn’t aware of any of this before today.

Awesome! I’m definitely gonna check this out, I’d love to fashion my own equipment. Pricey gear has definitely been something holding me back from upgrading (next to figuring out space for it all haha). I remember probably almost 20 years ago I wanted to learn nunchakus, so a me and a friend actually made our own in…

So her full name would be Maria Maria?

Julie Strain was like my dream amazon woman way back in my formative, sneak around late at night and watch Cinemax years.

I use cocoa powder most times I make hearty stews, chilis, and soups. Doesn’t really make things chocolatey because it’s competing with so many other things; just kinda rounds out the overall flavor.

Wow, your home setup sounds pretty great! It’s damn near a full gym in there haha. I’ve had a heavy bag for years since that’s one of my favorite things to work on, but only since the pandemic have I been adding things like weights. I always did a lot of bodyweight, kettlebell, and resistance stuff so my setup had…

Oh so we just gonna sit here and act like MLB Slugfest doesn’t exist?

Ope, you got me. It’s not an arbitrary mechanic by definition because it’s not driven by chance or implemented without a clear reason. I guess I meant to say it’s a mechanic that often just feels tacked on and not entirely necessary.

Haha I used to rough-house quite a bit with my dad too. I remember one time I actually put him down with a punch to the kidney (accidentally of course, I guess I just hit him in the sweet spot) and we laughed about it. My mom definitely didn’t get it haha.

Yeah as long as it doesn’t end the round, because the meter doesn’t carry over to the next one. If you’re just styling on your opponent and not taking damage it shouldn’t be a problem, but I think it sucks more to be in a fight where you’re both getting offense in but you’re clearly ahead, they’re near dead and you…

I do agree with your sentiment, and I don’t think it’s inherently bad to give some buffs to the underdog in a fight, but I think one reason it kinda irks people is because it often forces you to adjust to an arbitrary game mechanic rather than your opponent. People want to fight their opponent rather the game itself.…

I love this comment! I definitely know how rough it is being the only person you know who’s into combat sports, or at least MMA particularly. My grandfather was a pro boxer, my dad never really pursued it but had some amateur fights just by virtue of practically being raised in the gym, and I also spent a good amount…
