For this May the 4th, and Revenge of the 5th, I posted on @damagecontrolblog about why it’s long past time for Star Wars to get bold with its storytelling decisions again. https://www.dcgameblog.com/2024/05/cognition-dissemination-may-the-4th-be-with-a-bold-star-wars-future/

For this May the 4th occasion, I posted about why I'd like for Star Wars to be bolder with its ideas in the near future for @damagecontrolblog. https://www.dcgameblog.com/2024/05/cognition-dissemination-may-the-4th-be-with-a-bold-star-wars-future/

ICYMI I wrote about two announcements that surprisingly didn't appear at Evo Japan 2024 for a @damagecontrolblog post. https://www.dcgameblog.com/2024/05/fighting-games-friday-missing-evo-japan-2024-games/ Well, one of them isn't *that* surprising, but it would have been nice.

I posted on @damagecontrolblog about two announcements that disappointingly didn't show at Evo Japan 2024. One isn't that surprising, but the other one is. https://www.dcgameblog.com/2024/05/fighting-games-friday-missing-evo-japan-2024-games/

ICYMI The Quarantine Control series on @damagecontrolblog reached the 215th installment, in which @silver_huskey, CWTyger, and I wrote about what we did, listened to, and watched in a week, respectively. https://www.dcgameblog.com/2024/05/quarantine-control-213-top-lords-of-vinyl/

ICYMI I wrote about the announcements from Evo Japan 2024, which were more plentiful than some (including me) expected, for a @damagecontrolblog post. https://www.dcgameblog.com/2024/04/announcements-from-evo-japan-2024/

I knew Crunchyroll price increases were coming soon with every other streaming service hiking theirs. That’s one way to get people to spend the money from that settlement.

But it’s fine. I’m *sure* this will go towards paying their translators and actors better. https://www.crunchyroll.com/news/announcements/2024/5/1/crunchyroll-premium-price-updates-mega-ultimate-fan

It would be pretty ironic and awkward if Columbia still had their page up about their pitiful response to the antiwar protests for the Vietnam War from 1968, in light of the eerily similar (to the very date) atrocities they approved last night.

I know that I could just look. (It's still there as of this post.)

I posted on @damagecontrolblog about the news from Evo Japan 2024, which ended up being higher in volume than I expected. https://www.dcgameblog.com/2024/04/announcements-from-evo-japan-2024/

@silver_huskey Yup! I'm dreading looking around the X-bird platform for too many comments as well.

@silver_huskey I honestly wouldn't be surprised if that's already happening. But you can bet that someone on Fox will mention it tonight.

You can't even, as an adult, pick up a 17-year-old girl who's half your age anymore, because of woke. https://variety.com/2024/film/news/jerry-seinfeld-pc-culture-extreme-left-ruining-tv-comedy-1235985325/

It would have been a big shock if Slayer wasn’t the newest character added to Guilty Gear Strive after the teases, and he honestly looks younger here. I know that’s not surprising, considering he’s a vampire.

It’s going to take a much longer time to catch up on the Tekken 8 and Street Fighter 6 finals. Perhaps I’ll get through them by the week’s end.

Catching up on the announcements from Evo Japan made overnight:

Damn, Akuma looks great in Street Fighter 6. My expectations were high, and this exceeded them. I wonder if he’ll still have a health penalty this time around.

I’m surprised that Bandai Namco is adding new story content to Tekken 8 already, but that’s not a complaint. It’s good that Lidia isn’t spending that long of a time slaving away as the final DLC character in Tekken 8.

ICYMII wrote about how two news stories from the past week demonstrated how Nintendo remains a stubbornly conservative company for a @damagecontrolblog post. https://www.dcgameblog.com/2024/04/cognition-dissemination-the-fear-of-nintendos-bloodlust-is-palpable/

I posted on @damagecontrolblog about how two stories from this week showed how strict and conservative Nintendo continues to be. https://www.dcgameblog.com/2024/04/cognition-dissemination-the-fear-of-nintendos-bloodlust-is-palpable/

ICYMI I wrote about the start of Evo Japan 2024 for @damagecontrolblog, an event that will host plenty of great fighting game matches and the first tournaments for certain games. Watch those time zones, though. https://www.dcgameblog.com/2024/04/fighting-games-friday-its-evo-japan-2024/

@silver_huskey I got mine late in the afternoon yesterday too. Sooner than expected, but no complaints from me.

I posted on @damagecontrolblog about the arrival of Evo Japan 2024, an event that's only been growing in significance and popularity since it started in 2018. https://www.dcgameblog.com/2024/04/fighting-games-friday-its-evo-japan-2024/
