I literally don't remember details from a book I finished last night. But I still remember a bunch of sequences beat for beat from NES/SNES era games. I played Simon's Quest so. many. times. I can still go through the game without an FAQ. Repetition is a hell of a thing.
Talking to people younger than me about how I beat Battletoads on NES & they CANNOT conceive of a world in which the internet doesn't exist. "So you just sat down, & played Battletoads ALL day, REPEATEDLY, until you memorized the entire game...?" "yes ."

Logged into work this morning and put my PTO request in. The people who are still playing this game are monsters, but I just have to be there and be a part of this. I told myself if MvC2 ever came back I'd be there, and so I will. See you all there, one more time.

@zal01 I'll try and make as many of these as I can. Saturdays are good for me again so fingers crossed.

@eliverling I can't play Doom point anymore. I pretty much only play Spiral teams, Santhrax, and fun teams/garbage tier now.

This is a tweet about Clive but for people who play Tekken casually this applies to half the roster which is why Tekken is hard to learn. I sorta/kinda competed at T4-T5 and I still don't know wtf Hwoarang is doing/when it's my turn to swing back. It still looks the same to me.
"Why didn't you know all the math behind every sword swing that looks the same and has 10 explosions behind it? If you had just labbed this exact sequence beforehand you'd know you could have jabbed in 2 spots, but you didn't so die"

Moving notice. I've made a point of posting less stuff on social media but I'll probably be in the blue place more than here. Oh the OTHER move? That one is more definite. Last day in San Diego is Monday. Albuquerque here we come!

This is unironically one of the biggest things you need to learn if you want to play modern fighting games for serious money. Arturo was right when he tried to teach everyone this lesson in MKX and the SF6 Ken players etc. are right today. Never admit your character is busted!
Downplaying your main is an important and strategic part of competitive fighting games

One of the biggest improvements I made in tournament play was taking naps and eating constantly. I started keeping energy bars/slim jims/etc. in my stick bag and my performance shot up. In retrospect, being King Choker of the FGC in the 00s was more about my body than my ability
For me personally tournament endurance is a big challenge. At Capcom Cup when top 8 started at the end of an already long day I didn’t even feel like the same player. It’s a relief to hear @Bigbird_fgc say this b/c he’s healthy with tons of experience. I guess it’s more common.
