ICYMI I wrote about Riot Games' end of support for League of Legends fighting game 2XKO, and how it was easy to see coming for multiple reasons despite still being unfortunate, for a @damagecontrolblog post. https://www.dcgameblog.com/2026/08/fighting-games-friday-its-2xkover/

I posted on @damagecontrolblog about the unfortunate failure of Riot Games' 2XKO, which is ending development in December to little surprise given the dire signs early in the year. https://www.dcgameblog.com/2026/08/fighting-games-friday-its-2xkover/

@silver_huskey Glad that was resolved, and that the tenant paid. But oh my GOD that's a lot of water and assorted damage.

@silver_huskey Wow, that's crazy. I hope it's a problem you can cheaply and quickly resolve, or they just made a mistake.

ICYMI I wrote about how people should be careful about trusting entertainment news "scoopers," and shouldn't take frustrations out on actors when they're wrong like they were for some X-Men cast members, for a @damagecontrolblog post. https://www.dcgameblog.com/2026/08/cognition-dissemination-beware-the-clout-chasers/

I posted on @damagecontrolblog about how some people should be careful about trusting so-called "scoopers" for entertainment news, and not get mad at the actors when they're wrong. The newest example is Marvel's X-Men cast. https://www.dcgameblog.com/2026/08/cognition-dissemination-beware-the-clout-chasers/

@silver_huskey True. It felt like Bluesky was saying "we'll make the decision to take a break from our platform for you."

It's funny how some people seem to be having different problems on Bluesky today. I'm among the luckier (?) users who can still see posts, but are having problems seeing images and videos. Other users can't view the site at all. It's another big win for vibe coding, maybe.
