So this is basically just somebody getting dogpiled, but we needed a new word for it for some reason?

Looking at the ratio of replies to likes is just a quick way to tell whether or not they're getting dogpiled

its just out of an observation that getting dogpiled is the only situation on twitter where someone ends up with more replies than likes so its a way to empirically identify really bad tweets

i'm near the end of the second chapter of Xenoblade Torna, i feel like none of the Xeno games have good combat but at least X allowed you to move around while auto-attacking, in Torna if you move you can't auto attack until you stop, and you need to auto-attack to build up your skills, so the already not very active combat feels even less so

So I've been drifting through Steam Queues again for the heck of it, and yesterday I found that Dragon View was just randomly released on Steam, and today I found this game:

https://store.steampowered.com/app/425770/Answer_The_Question/

At first I was waiting for the shoe to drop that this was something like Frog Fractions or whatever, but instead I noticed that the developer was just somebody's name and found out through the discussion pages that somebody just went and published their daughter's little game. :3:

The BlazBlue Director loves it which was a big reason they put it in BBTag. Which, by the way, is getting a major arcade release overhaul this weekend, and the changes are substantial and awesome. I'm stoked

Movement cancels your auto attack animation so themore active approach is to take a micro step the second your first auto attack connects bc it has the shortest startup of the auto attack chain, but the slowest special gain. So you can cancel it into itself over and over to juice your special bar ASAP

Carly shook her glass, willing the ice to melt. "You still haven't told me what the mission is."

She leaned forward. "We are going to assassinate the bad men of Hollywood."


I get really disheartened and sad whenever I see something from some total loving nobody on twitter. It's a big deal, to me.

It was pretty obviously senran kagura and the rumor mongering is they got scared off from doing it bc of Sony's crackdown on SK and SK-adjacent games soon after they started teasing something

I got a new PS4 slim just 2 months ago and it's been having an odd number of system crashes, usually while scrolling through the menu after closing a streaming video app. Anyone else had that happen lately?

Do you want a game that is almost an Advanced War but has little issues here and there, especially in campaign design, that hold it back from greatness?

Not sure. I'm playing RE2 right now and it's not making a whole lot of noise, but maybe if I put KH3 in it'll get insane.
