Capcom execs: We replaced the original games, why re-release them?

Remember just a few years ago when the entire press corps ridiculed Bernie Sanders for politely suggesting that billionaires have influence over the media properties they own?

And remember how none of them ever apologized or admitted he was absolutely right?

Good times.

Yeah. Most people didn't, or they knew it but skipped it after realizing the game was pure shite.

A child’s tears are not a sign of weakness, but a whisper from the soul seeking comfort, love, and understanding. Each tear carries the innocence of pain and the hope of healing.

Donations stalled over the weekend and I can't really help out myself as I went nuts on my birthday, have a loan bill coming up and my work pay isn't gonna be great this week since I had low hours last week.

If you guys could donate or spread the link around, that'd be great.

#Combotober 15 - Favorite game other publisher: IT'S KILLER INSTINCT!! I love KI so much.

KI combos are much more freeform and weird than other games thanks to the combo breaker system, so instead of a 400 hit ultra combo, I decided to do Eyedol's optimal counter breaker punish. (1/2)

…the hours I spent looking at this VHS art. The richness, the light, the realism. It wasn’t until decades later that I realized the same artist was responsible for so much of the imagery of my childhood. Drew Struzan was singular. I’m grateful for the work he left us.

Dude I watched that entire ass interview with Fucker Carlson and Sam Altman where he gets asked about the OpenAI whistleblower possibly getting murdered and I think it’s obvious Altman is struggling with the mental health issue of being batshit insane not trusting him to ‘get this right’.
