From Masher to Master 2: The Beginner's Guide to Becoming a Fighting Game Player by Patrick Miller A beginner's guide to becoming a fighting game player.

Individually, a person who plays fighting games may have a bunch of different complicated nuanced motivations and emotions that are served by different parts of the fighting game experience — not limited to the game itself on their console, but the broader journey of mastery and connectivity. The high-minded ideal FGC stuff I mentioned above is real and does exist! It just doesn’t exist enough to sell the millions of copies that go into funding the next Street Fighter or Tekken. At scale, building and selling games as a service looks a lot more like making a theme park or a casino, where you have customers entering at a given point, you give them choices on what kind of experience they can have in your game, and you give them clear signs and paths to choose from in order to make it easy for them. In the above section, we established that people play video games because they want to feel something specific. It’s a brief moment of agency in a day where you were otherwise probably at the mercy of some stupid bullshit at your job, or at school, or in your family, or on the bus, or whatever. We spend most of our day pushing the boulder up, and the brief moment of rest we get is choosing the video game we play in between eating dinner and going to sleep, where we get to act like the person we imagine ourselves to be as the boulder rolls back down the hill.

"Why ranked sucks and we can't get rid of it"

Wrote about how fighting games rely on ranked matchmaking to retain players even though it often makes the experience worse. Read this to learn about friction, addiction, motivation, and how you can Ranked responsibly.

I'm trying to see if it's viable to do my writing/TOing/streaming fighting game stuff as a full time job, so every new Patreon supporter is a vote of confidence (and health insurance).

Thank you 🙏

And it's not like I don't want to draw. I want to!! Brain is just mush, hands are just bleh.

I'm really not enjoying making art lately, and I have no idea how to get out of the funk. I can manage it a few times a week, and some little doodles here and there, but I'm not really having any fun.
I'm not sure if it's a general thing or what.

Hey all I'm looking for work!
I'm experienced in character design and costume for games and film as well as illustration for books and TTRPGS. I'm based out of BC Canada looking for freelance or full time. My portfolio is linked in the first comment, thank you for shares!

worth remembering, David Lynch directed “fix your hearts or die” specifically at transphobes. it wasn’t a generic “no mean people allowed” statement, it was said by his Twin Peaks character in defense of a trans woman he cared for and deeply respected.

The Art of Octopath Traveler: 2020-2023 hardcover book up for preorder on Amazon ($49.99) amzn.to/4sFECB1 #ad

Lake holds a funky 70s-style flower power orange drinking glass, half-filled with water and a drinking straw. He stands in front of the door to the room Heliotrope is in, raising a hand to knock, then pulling back, rubbing his head in thought, and nervously attempting to knock again. Sorrel appears behind him in a swirl of mist, partly streaking through his long flowing hair. “Lucky, when a girl yells at you to leave her alone, y’should probably let her alone.” The sudden appearance startles Lake into jumping and spilling some of the water on his hoodie. “Thanks,” he mutters, deadpan, as Lake floats beside him with a grin, his hands in his pockets and his lower legs still dissipated into vapour. Lake: “I just thought she might want some water to replace fluids after all the crying, you know-? I forgot to tell her we need more than just blood…” Lake shakes drops of the spilled water off his hand as he glances away. “How long after she wakes up until she does need blood? I don’t remember… She got hurt pretty bad… does that change anything…?” Sorrel listens with a raised eyebrow as he sets foot on the floor.

Sorrel leans against one of the many, many framed portraits which have been lining the walls of every room at the vampire manor seen so far. He crosses his arms and closes his eyes dismissively. “She just found out her parents’re dead, I doubt a bellyful of lukewarm blood is what she wants right now. She’d likely throw it back up. Remember your first feed? Shocking.” Lake shoots him an unimpressed look. “You’re being edgy again.” Sorrel, sincerely: “Oh, am I? Sorry.” Lake takes a beat to look down and away before lifting his eyes to Sorrel again. “Should I not have done it? You always said-” Sorrel interrupts him, meeting his eye. “That’s a useless question [to ask] yourself. If she’d been carted off in a regular ambulance, she’d still have to figure out how she was going to cope without her parents. You did what you thought was best. That’s all you can ever do.” Lake looks down, glass still in his hand. He doesn’t say anything else, nor does he make a move to knock. Sorrel watches him out of the corner of his eye for a while before deadpanning “Far as I’m concerned that was child abuse anyhow. Who names a kid Heliotrope?” Lake points a finger at him, defensive- “I think Heliotrope is a nice name-!” From inside the room, Heliotrope yells out, “Stop talking about me!!” Both men freeze and stare at the closed door. Busted.

Lake creaks open the door and takes a peek inside, nervous. Heliotrope is sitting on the floor in the middle of the room with her knees tucked up to her chest, though her back is facing the door, so not much can be seen besides her mop of hair. Lake leans into the room to gingerly place the glass of water (or what’s left of it) on the nearby fireplace mantle, but Heliotrope says “Wait,” startling him into snatching his arm back like a socially awkward praying mantis. She doesn’t say anything else, but also doesn’t tell him to leave, so Lake opens the door wider to step in, pushing aside a book which had been thrown against the door. As he steps further into the room, an aerial shot reveals that Heliotrope has taken out her emotions on some of the furniture; there’s a smashed vase with scattered dried flowers, and books strewn from the bookshelf; the chair Sorrel had been sitting in has had its arm rest torn off and tossed aside; a pillow or mattress has been torn leaving small downy feathers everywhere. Lake ignores all of that to focus on Heliotrope. He stands behind her for a moment, fidgeting with his hands, before sitting himself down cross-legged on the floor behind Heliotrope.

Every time it comes up I just gotta remind people that it's extremely expensive to license filming in Shibuya, which the team making this game couldn't afford, so they filmed this game by stealing shots and running from the cops.
