one thing i haven't seen in the arcade game discourse that's been going around: i feel like there's a stigma against "rote memorization" that deserves pushing back against just a little bit. i think a lot of people have the idea that once you have a game "memorized" the challenge is essentially over

and i don't really know what you ultimately gain from this. fume knight's design is totally "fair" in that he doesn't have any unreactable sucker punches and he still took me three tries. sir alonne took me dozens (lest you think i'm humblebragging). you're probably going to lose first try anyway!

of course, this happens a handful of times and these happen to be some of the memorable parts. maybe this is where you use your ninpou. maybe you stand somewhere not so obvious and they'll all group up for a melee attack. it's a little puzzle that only works if you accept it'll hit you first try

i have this horrible habit of getting lazy on the first qcf when i try to jump in kunai xx kasumi suzaku, so i just jump in, j.lp which misses, land... then do that horrible risky qcf lp low on the ground. it always hits and people always go "nice" and i never have the heart to tell them i fucked up

i gotta find more modern games i like, dude. i guess part of it is i don't really enjoy shooting guns so a pretty big chunk of popular multiplayer stuff is fighting an uphill battle

i like those souls games! dark souls 2 and 3 i could take or leave, but demon's, dark, elden ring and bloodborne are all fine. everything souls-inspired feels like it's laser focused on dodging and parrying though and neither of those are that exciting to me

I've been mulling over how I want to organize stream VODs since the change to Twitch highlights made my old method super impractical... I actually have local recordings going back many years and I'd like to get it all on Youtube eventually
