Regardless of who is or isn't butthurt he is correct in that this is how the report/mega downvote function works.  If you strongly dislike a certain post make sure to MEGA DOWNVOTE that shit. 🙂
 
I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and has a Happy New Year!!!

Make no mistake.  I'm still here.
 
People wanted lighter moderation, so they got it...but I'm not a mod, and I'll do whatever the hell I want.  Nobody is safe from me. 🙂

There is an adjustable threshold that I control.  After a certain amount of reports the post will be automatically hidden.  The mod team and I are only here to enforce the rules.  If a post isn't against the rules but enough people hate it and report it then it will disappear without our involvement.
 
Doesn't matter if it was just a bad joke or not -- if everyone reports a post it's gonna get hidden.  This is a community, and so it is expected that you guys should be able to police yourselves at least a little bit.

I would just ask myself what would Robocop do, but as it would usually lead to a data spike into the jugular, I have to re-evaluate this line of thinking.

This will be us looking down at you peasants from now on
 
 

I take my daily nine hour nap and come back to some amusing things on here I tell you.

Naw I just want to give a reason to the people that actually deserve it.   I don't want them coming at me later asking why this and that happened.    Couldn't really care less tbh, shits just another source of amusement for me but I try to balance that by trying to keep mrbee from going insane.   That being said ya'll don't blame me, my hands are tied.  I am just going with the flow.

What kind of shade throwing is this? I didn't even say anything wtf

Been a while since I bought a figure but finally decided to get this one...idk where I'm going to put it though.
 

I hope you are right but I am pessimistic.
 
Capcom couldn't have fucked up more with SFV if they tried and yet it's still no. 1 in terms of the competitive scene.  Nostalgia and momentum are simply too strong.

Buy silicone lubricant and spray it into the analog stick assembly.  I have fixed drift on several types of controllers that way.
 
Works better if you take apart the controller first, but if for some reason you can't, SOMETIMES you can get away with just spraying it into the analog stick from above and moving it around to make sure it gets inside.
 

The good thing is that with anime and manga becoming more popular now, there are better chances that those games get more recognition.
Plus, this is only an hypothesis of mine, but i feel that the fgc gravitated towards certain games more because the old guard who were the organizers of the events favored those more than the newer games.
 
Now that the scene is more desentralized you see more games being played at both off and online events.
Spookie with his weeklie tournaments for SFV, GBFVS, DBFZ.
London East with their Samsho tournaments, etc, etc.
Not to mention more external people from the fgc organizing tournaments, like Playstation with their competitive monthlies shining light into other games, like BBTAG, SC6 and UNIClr.
 
And companies forming their own competition circuits to promote their games (although covid threw a wrench to that this year, so we saw some games like Samsho and GBFVS being hit because of that.)
 
Then we have games like Tekken and DBFZ outselling SFV in a more shorter lifespan than what SFV has been on the market.
We can see that there has been a shift in the mentality.
 
Then we have the fact that with many players going esports, they are more willing to dab into other games if there is money to be made, and in the same fashion abandon games series  that were fgc darlings for over a decade like how MvCI just fizzled out.
 
 
Right now i think is the best chance many games have to cement themselves as alternatives, since both capcom dropped the ball, and more people are open to play other games.

I would argue the opposite.
 
"Damn I hate this good game, simply because it's not some OTHER game!"
 
Ideally games should be based on their merits, not what people wish they were.
 
Dissidia NT is a good port of a good arcade game.  Nobody should care that it's not some other PSP thing from 10 years ago.

The biggest problem isn't Dissidia NT -- it's that western FF fans have no idea what it is.
 
Dissidia NT is an arcade game meant to compete with Gundam vs Gundam, which is THE team-based arcade arena fighter.  Unlike the PSP games, it's a proper competitive game built and made for arcades.  It did very well in Japan and had lots of players every time I went to an arcade.
 
The console version is simply the port of a popular competitive arcade game.  It was never supposed to be anything like the PSP games, but people just assumed it would be -- because they had no exposure to the arcade version they just assumed it would be like the PSP games from years before.
 
Instead of being happy that the west got a port of a game they would normally never be able to play, they instead complained that it was something it was never meant to be.
 
It's like finally getting to play SF2 years after it was released and then wondering why it wasn't a RPG.  Hate for Dissidia is based on false assumptions about what kind of game it is.
 
If people don't like team-based arena fighters that's fine -- but it's ridiculous to hate on it because it's not the PSP games, because it was never supposed to be like those.  People who bought NT expecting anything less than an arcade port simply didn't do any research.

Wife gave her okay earlier, so I've placed my order with T-Mobile for a iPhone 12 Pro Max. Should be here after I return from mini-vacation.

I’ve been doing a lot of little things in attempt to better my mental health. Writing notes on my door (I painted it with chalk board paint), writing good things that have happened recently, not sleeping in as much, actively finding projects to do around my house, etc. 
 
Today is the first time I’ve styled my hair and put on cologne since my friends 21st (god I’m old) back in September. It doesn’t seem like a big deal but it’s baby steps towards feeling better and that’s all that matters to me.

I'm wondering why a DNF fighter is even a thing.  The last time I thought about DNF I was in highschool...almost 15 years ago...
 
Not gonna complain about having more fighting games though!
