Ahh, got it. I knew it was one of those companies everyone says is scummy, but I don't play their games so I can't keep them straight lol Huh. Knowing Sega, the arcade business will probably start booming again and this will be yet another dumb move they've made, but that's just wishful thinking on my part. I wonder if they're going to close those Club Sega arcades, if they're remain open with the same name, or get renamed.

Yeah we've been staying with my mum in law who is close to that age. I get it. We go out, but we mask up, though one of the places I was going to check out is apparently masks optional and I'm not sure how I feel about that atm.

Been working on Suija who is a weird sort of character. He has these DP bubbles that will block anything you throw at them but they can only be done in the air (like all his special moves, even his super) and he doesn't have a lot of tools other than that. He seems like he was created with defensive/runaway play in mind, but you can tiger knee into the bubbles from the ground and jail your opponent if they're cornered and confuse them. He's got some interesting time slow combos that rely on bubble cancels though, like this one that I would show you if discord weren't too lame to uploady gif lol

I definitely like these new Mileena skins better than the old ones, though I hope they also bring the old ones back.

yeah, but where there's a will there's a way. I've been rumbling about joining a gym for months but haven't done it and I could probably be going out walking but I'm not. Tbh if I did that Gotch bible stuff dab00g is always talking about, it would probably fix me up, it's just the issue of time and of having the room to do it. So at least for me, it's not the pandemic as much as I'm just not doing it. Getting this news has pushed me to take it more seriously though. I've been trying to change up my eating habits, not eat so much bread (enriched flour is basically about as bad as sugar and high fructose corn syrup and it's in EVERYTHING) and that'll help too. But I basically go from sitting at home to sitting in the car, then sitting at my desk at the studio. :(

It's possible this is EA's tactic for making sure their players play ONLY CoD, by making the game so big, they don't have room for any other games. Maybe it'll fry the disc drive on the console too, wouldn't be surprised, this IS EA 🤣

Same here. The doc hit me with that before I went on our honeymoon and I thought it would be related to the 10 or so years of fairly hard drinking I did but he didn't even mention that (and I've cut back quite a lot since the boy child was born) but apparently my lack of exercise has made it bad. I used to be at the gym 3+ days a week but I haven't done that since probably 2018 for a week or so here and there. I could stand to lose 20-30 lbs though. After doing some reading, apparently fatty liver is becoming more and more common in western countries.

Tetris will always be the king imo but Puyo is growing on me. It's satisfying watching big chains of them pop! I might try to get into Lumines sometime too. What kind of crazy fucked up world are we living in when Khamenei of all people has the take on US elections that makes so much sense?

😂😂😂 Thanks bruv! How's it look? You know, the irony of my having this handle for ages and also bring a puzzle game fan is that I'm terrible at Dr.Mario lol

Yeah I hear you, it scratches that itch and it was pretty good. Just feel like I got my fill of it (I played cotm1 a LOT) so maybe that's part of it. I just bought Vigil last week but from what I hear there are some pretty gamebreaking glitches in the switch version so I'm waiting for the upcoming patch to start it. Been looking forward to that one for awhile myself though!

Just curious, did you grow up around there? You seem pretty knowledgeable about the situation.

I liked the first one but I didn't love it. It was really good but not enough that I absolutely had to have the second one. I'll tell you what I DID just pick up though is this: https://www.nintendo.com/games/detail/wallachia-reign-of-dracula-switch/ Looks like Castlevania IV meets Rastan/Sword Of Sodan and I prefer retro styles in that vein moreso than the 8 Bit style.

Yeah she's been fun in the Boss Revenge mode. Tbh all the boss characters are pretty fun since they have different play styles, and I'm hoping that VS mode incorporates them if it in fact sees the light of day. As for cotm2 I haven't yet. I liked CotM and 2 is on my wishlist but its not something I was super excited about when it was announced. Is it better than the first?

I like demonic Taylor Swift for right now, but if I find a gif that speaks to me, maybe I'll switch it up.

There are a ton of things that are bad for the populace but because leaders or their friends benefit, they stay in place.

If a presidential candidate got up and said, "If you're a non violent drug offender with no other felonies on your record, you're getting your sentence commuted" they'd win by a landslide

One word: Memphis Democrats and Republicans all hate the government, but they hate different parts of it. Dems hate the Pentagon, reps hate the state department. And because they can't agree on what parts of it to cut, government automatically wins.

I can't speak to Lindsey, but Mitch Mcconnell is an MVP for the Republicans. Think of all the things he's either blocked, pushed through, or gotten passed by being sneaky, and him bringing that much federal money to KY is a bonus. I can't think of another politician on the Hill that has the acumen Mitch The Bitch has, and even though I don't like him, if I were a freshman senator, I'd be studying his moves like a hawk.

Yeah it was the remakes. I need that on my Switch and I hope they're actually going to see the light of day.

After I saw the third season of The Wire (the Hamsterdam season) I was like, "We need to try that shit. It'd probably work." I think it's time to admit that the war on drugs has been about as successful as the war on terror.

It's been awhile since I've played it but I'm pretty sure there's a single player offline mode where you can face AI counselors.

Stuff like this is why my faith in the electorate is low. Obama rides in, has two years with a Dem majority in congress, some folks get tired of them and vote in a republican majority in congress. Same thing with Trump but in reverse. It's like they ate a bad meal, got the shits, ate another bad meal that still have them the shits and went and ate the first meal again forgetting the reaming their asshole got the first time.

Did anyone else hear about a House of the Dead game coming to switch or was it just me? I suspect vaporware along with Bayo3 until I hear more. 🤔

I don't know if we have a CV/BS thread here already or not, but if not, here we go. Been getting back into Bloodstained RotN lately while waiting for the patch to make Vigil: The Longest Night better playable on the Switch. Speedrun mode is a lot of fun but tough because in order to get a good time, chances are you're going to be underleveled and that's especially a problem with bosses (which is where Ive been having most of my trouble.) Boss Revenge mode? Fun AF. Getting to play ALL these characters (besides Bloodless who is coming as a main game character this month) in the main game would be really fun and something I kind of hope they implement at some point.
