Every week I do this thing called Niche Fighter Monday where I play, analyze, and celebrate niche and indie fighting games.

I'd love for y'all to come crowd into The Digital Basement on Monday afternoons. 🕹

i know WHY this is but that just makes it even more of a kick in the pants lmao
screenshot of a tumblr post from user “wildmansters” The thing that really boils my potatoes about Al in general is that I have been a creative professional for over a decade now and the devil has ALWAYS been in the details. Big and small, I've had single-person businesses rip me to shreds over how their colors turned out on newsprint, and have worked with huge companies with THICK brand guidelines with every detail of their brand identity laid out and enforced with an iron fist. But I guess all of that stuff doesn't matter anymore? Who gives a fuck if this Al generated baby has six fingers, that mom-and-pop shop is still going to use it. That rug from Temu says Happy Thanksgivirg? Oh well haha it's just a silly funny thing now (nevermind that you never would have given a B-grade item from a craft show the same consideration). I don't actually care that the Al Coca-cola ad has a truck that changes size every scene, but I can't help but think about how, if it had been some poor underpaid artist, they would have been laughed out of the building. I don't really know how to put it in a succint way but it just feels all the more obvious how much more grace and flexibility has always been possible but never offered.

It really has been interesting the last while to see Doug Ford's outbursts. The true Ford. From "get a job" to "audit orgs that might support left wing causes". The authoritarian belligerent bully that had no staff to muzzle him in City Hall days is still there. Does Ontario see? Do they care?

Counter point, they need folks like us to make the games actually playable at a competitive level, otherwise you get a team of folks who don't know what a grab tech is trying to sell to folks who expect it.

Some of the replies there are proving to me that people view fighting games too strictly as something you need to practice for hours to be the best at, and not like a cool game you can play.

It's hard not to blame this on esports!

There is nothing more pure than the unadulterated love of fighting games from people who "dont get it".

liking game genres that spawned from the arcades condemns you to forever suffer cuz no one outside of the bubble gets it and every developer wants to the appeal to the guy who doesn't get it

A reminder that every conservative accusation is actually a confession.

If Doug Ford is worried about paid protesters and misappropriation of funds... well...

www.cp24.com/politics/que...
The premier called those who disrupted the legislature on Monday “professional protesters,” claiming that they were paid by some groups.

New patch is available, when you lose in arcade mode, you will now encounter this screen when continuing, which will apply the selected "debuff" to the opponent for the next round :)

While it's true you can't fully trust player opinions on balance for this reason, devs in charge of game tuning must also realize that data lies too.

Balance isnt real. Only the perception of balance is. It's all vibes. Balance isnt a viable OR desirable goal. You want fun, variety, and retention.
edgarallanbro.bsky.social Will Borger @edgarallanbro.bsky.social · 6d
One of the producers on Guilty Gear Strive said it was basically impossible to source player feedback on balance changes online because nobody had original opinions and would just parrot what the most popular content creators said and so they had to rely on data and I think about that every day.
