ICYMI I wrote about Sega's announcement of Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O., and why its existence is another hint that Sega is preparing for something big, for a @damagecontrolblog post. https://www.dcgameblog.com/2024/11/fighting-games-friday-a-virtua-fighter-r-e-v-o-lution/

I posted on @damagecontrolblog about how Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O. means that PC players can finally play VF5, but how it also hints at Sega's larger plans. https://www.dcgameblog.com/2024/11/fighting-games-friday-a-virtua-fighter-r-e-v-o-lution/

Gaetz withdrawing is fine-enough news, even though the next nominee will also be bad. The bar is apparently set at "not a kid diddler" now. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/justice-department/matt-gaetz-withdraws-bid-attorney-general-sexual-misconduct-allegation-rcna181206

ICYMI I wrote about the "This Is an Xbox" campaign started how Microsoft, and how it expands the horizons for what qualifies as such while leaving some devices out, for a @damagecontrolblog post. https://www.dcgameblog.com/2024/11/cognition-dissemination-is-this-an-xbox/

I posted on @damagecontrolblog about how Microsoft's new "This Is an Xbox" campaign clarifies how many devices qualify as one, and highlights how "third-party" they're getting. But they left some systems out. https://www.dcgameblog.com/2024/11/cognition-dissemination-is-this-an-xbox/

We're doing fireworks for the Eagles around here, already!?

I know they're following behind them shooting fireworks off at the stadium, but it's a *bit* early for that.

Bluesky is going through what this place went through yesterday, though it fortunately doesn't seem to be as severe. We'll see if goes in and out for hours, but at least the timeline didn't go hilariously out of order. https://www.theverge.com/2024/11/14/24296537/bluesky-acting-up-outage-down

@silver_huskey Right? It's nice that this place is still growing too, as a nice non-Threads alternative.

The .social instance was having a heap of problems earlier, from random 503 errors to the timeline being frustratingly out of order. Lots of users are coming to this place alongside Blueksy from the X-bird platform.

ICYMI I questioned why Marvel is ending the What If? animated series, despite plenty of ideas for future episodes and seasons still being out there, for a @damagecontrolblog post. https://www.dcgameblog.com/2024/11/cognition-dissemination-what-if-marvel-ends-a-series-too-soon/

I posted on @damagecontrolblog about Marvel's What If? ending with the third season, and questioned why that's happening when so many ideas for future episodes and seasons remain. https://www.dcgameblog.com/2024/11/cognition-dissemination-what-if-marvel-ends-a-series-too-soon/

@silver_huskey I guess they expected the extremely-online insane people who post rage bait all day on the X-bird platform, though I haven't the faintest idea of why.

It's been fun watching some chuds melt down thanks to Trump picking one neocon after another for the administration. It's not much consolation because they're still terrible people, but you take the schadenfreude where you can get it these days.

ICYMI I posted my thoughts on Look Back, a great one-shot manga with storytelling that's elevated in its transition to anime, on @damagecontrolblog. https://www.dcgameblog.com/2024/11/look-back-and-look-forward/
