My political affiliation is Unapologetic Bigotry. My politics are the best, why would I deviate from them?

What other than DBFZ was designed from the ground up to actually be a competitive fighting game? None of them really garnered any sort of tournament scene.

It's far less reaction time than you think it is. It's a lot more subconscious pattern recognition and employing counter play without thinking before you consciously recognize what's happening and what the counter play would be. In practice it's very much "Why would you uppercut there?", "I dunno, it felt like a good idea and it worked out."

Reaction times are a thing and old age eventually means you aren't gonna be winning Evo, but most people aren't going to get to the levels where that's even a factor. The far bigger hurdle is having to face the fact that you suck and are gonna suck for a while before you suck somewhat less.

Everything about that anime is cheating and so fucking good.

I remember finishing it and feeling like I had overloaded on visual stimuli. It was an entirely novel experience to be that visually overloaded for such a sustained length of time. 10/10, would overdose on god tier animation again.

Not an opening theme or rock, but Escaflowne's Dance of Curse remains one of my favorite pieces of music.

For openings...ah I've seen too many to really pin down a favorite so I'll just fall back on some good old childhood nostalgia. The original Dragon Ball opening still puts a smile on my face: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mht7phPbd0Y

Baccano is an unknown gem of a show. Nice to see it getting some kudos here.

Everyone who is kicking your ass at fighting games started at exactly where you are with the same ass beatings. It really just comes down to whether or not you feel like putting in the time to become the one delivering the beatings.

This is modern book burning. I'm so tired of it.

People ask for sauce about 10% of the time. If I had to go out and hunt it up for every single one 90% of that effort would be wasted.

You could just not post for that 90% of the time and improve the quality of this board by not littering like a goddamn barbarian.

other pedes

Confirmed for barbarian.

I have watched the right point out in detail how a proposed lefty's fever dream will go tits up, only to be shouted down and called every name under the Sun.

I feel like this whenever some of our regulars object to acknowledging racial realities.

Closest I got was withdrawing into modding a 25 year old game and heading back to ye olde bulletin board forums to ask for technical insights. It ain't much, but it was refreshing to go back to the old style of internet communication.

Is the moral of the story that women can't be heroes because they're actually just narcissistic villains who want to be called heroes? This all just wreaks of female mindset.

Confirming that you're too dense or ideologically motivated to be able to responsibly offer an opinion. I'm going with the latter in your case. You're not stupid, but you are actively committed to being wrong.

I think they're bad actors or at the very least they prime the userbase to blindly accept .jpgs as truth which can then be used by bad actors to inject untrue propaganda designed to elicit a reaction that can be used to garner more power for our enemies or otherwise information jam those who pose a threat to the power of such regimes.

.jpg posting without a source is bad practice because it can be exploited by those who mean us harm and it's very easy to guard against this by just posting a link. The laziness involved in refusing to do so is nothing short of barbaric and such barbarians should be cast from our midst, driven from the internet and ideally exiled from civilized society IRL and left to die in the woods with no one mourning their passing and no grave to mark that they ever even existed.

Collectivism is an evolutionary adaptation for survival. If you need it spelled out for you then you're really too dense to be opining on the subject and just have a suicidal moral framework.

This is why you just buy stuff from one to two years back and be satisfied with teh upgrade because it still absolutely crushes the performance of your six year old card.

DirectX12 requirements are limiting me far more than GPU requirements are and my hardware's several years out of date at this point.

That would require them to not be sub-human filth.

I vote we just make it a bannable offense.
