I posted on @damagecontrolblog about the eight anniversary of the Nintendo Switch, a great console that's provided plenty of excellent games. The successor is on the horizon, but it's worth remembering this system's legacy. https://www.dcgameblog.com/2025/03/cognition-dissemination-eight-years-of-nintendo-switch/

ICYMI I wrote about how brutal Warner Bros. Games' studio closures from this past week were, with one in particular being devastating, for a @damagecontrolblog post. https://www.dcgameblog.com/2025/03/cognition-dissemination-a-gaming-monolith-toppled/

I posted on @damagecontrolblog about just how big of a deal the layoffs and studio closures from Warner Bros. Games this past week were, especially in one case. https://www.dcgameblog.com/2025/03/cognition-dissemination-a-gaming-monolith-toppled/

ICYMI I wrote about the introduction of Anna Williams in Tekken 8, which includes gameplay changes she's received and her semi-controversial new look, for a @damagecontrolblog post. https://www.dcgameblog.com/2025/02/fighting-games-friday-annas-iron-clawed-fist/

I posted on @damagecontrolblog about how interesting Anna Williams appearance for Tekken 8 is, in terms of her viewable gameplay changes and design. The fan reaction is also worth discussing. https://www.dcgameblog.com/2025/02/fighting-games-friday-annas-iron-clawed-fist/

Toonami doesn't have the best record with the anime they've produced, but there's strong potential for Lazarus to be the best one yet considering it's coming form Watanabe. I hope that's the case. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LpG8vtFMkD0

ICYMI I wrote about why the ad-supported Microsoft Office is a raw deal for anyone who wants to use it for a @damagecontrolblog post. Beyond the ads, OneDrive has issues. https://www.dcgameblog.com/2025/02/cognition-dissemination-a-word-about-onedrive/

I'm taking it that Bezos wants to make the WaPo editorial department more similar to the Wall Street Journal's. This is all another sign that corporate-owned media are not reliable allies in a resistance to authoritarianism, if that wasn't already clear.

I posted on @damagecontrolblog about why that ad-supported Microsoft Office app/program is a raw deal, specifically the Microsoft Word part. It goes beyond the ads themselves being obtrusive. https://www.dcgameblog.com/2025/02/cognition-dissemination-a-word-about-onedrive/

ICYMI I wrote about the grandiose promises of Xbox's Muse AI, and how some of their bigger plans will require massive energy consumption, for a @damagecontrolblog post. https://www.dcgameblog.com/2025/02/cognition-dissemination-nonsensical-xbox-musing/

I posted on @damagecontrolblog about how the Xbox Muse AI promises are a bit much, to the point of being unrealistic. Not to mention the energy it will use. https://www.dcgameblog.com/2025/02/cognition-dissemination-nonsensical-xbox-musing/

ICYMI I wrote about why the American Marvel Rivals team deserved better than to be unceremoniously laid off, considering the game's success thus far, for a @damagecontrolblog post. https://www.dcgameblog.com/2025/02/cognition-dissemination-the-marvel-rivals-us-team-deserved-better/

I posted on @damagecontrolblog about how Marvel Rivals' US team didn't deserve the layoff treatment they received this week, considering the game's success thus far. https://www.dcgameblog.com/2025/02/cognition-dissemination-the-marvel-rivals-us-team-deserved-better/

ICYMI I wrote up my thoughts on the Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves beta for a post on @damagecontrolblog. It's a good time, but there are small issues that SNK could (and probably will) fix before the full release. https://www.dcgameblog.com/2025/02/fighting-games-friday-city-of-the-beta-wolves/

I posted my impressions of the Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves open beta on @damagecontrolblog. It's a lot of fun, but there are a few online issues SNK should fix. https://www.dcgameblog.com/2025/02/fighting-games-friday-city-of-the-beta-wolves/

ICYMI I wrote about the clear reason why Onimusha 2: Samurai's Destiny is being remade now, ahead of Onimusha: Way of the Sword's 2026 release, for a @damagecontrolblog post. It lowers the chances of other Onimusha remasters. https://www.dcgameblog.com/2025/02/cognition-dissemination-the-fortuitous-onimusha-titles/
