i still cant believe that in the year 2025 youtubers still do that thing where they mispronounce a word from another language several times before going "haha wow that sure was weird to say and probably wrong lol" it's a recorded video!! you can literally just look up how to say words in 2 seconds.

Hello folks! With the help of my good friend @omnirabbit.bsky.social, I made a video to help explain the mechanic that makes Sailor Moon S such a special game: Guard cancelling! I'm hoping to make several more videos like this so I hope you all enjoy!

A screenshot of the game Cyber Troopers Virtual-On.

A low poly image of a black and red robot in front of a rocky area in the evening.
