Akagi. Can I also count Saki as a battle shoujo?

They don’t. I know one indie developer once privately told me they wished they could.

Steam has far greater reach than 4chan. 4chan is the quarantine in your analogy, everyone else left that Nazi Bar after /pol/ happened.

If you think you can teach the average Steam user critical thinking skills, I welcome you to go ahead and try. Have fun.

Forcing the most radical extremists underground won’t deprogram them, but it will make it significantly more difficult for them to spread propaganda. The point of deplatforming is to shut down the pipeline so that fewer people get radicalized.

I never said Steam was the only website on the internet with problems. But I’m replying to a thread specifically about Steam.

Steam Forums are slowly devolving into one of the worst right-wing incubators because they refuse to proactively moderate. Any time a game gets declared a target by the post-Gamergate crowd, the boards become flooded with propaganda, and Valve does not care.

I want shorter games with worse graphics made by people who are paid more to work less and I’m not kidding.

A lot of arcade games are nearly inaccessible on original hardware, so emulation is more or less the only viable way to play them. Hell there are probably a nonzero amount of games that actually don’t have any authentic surviving cabinets anymore.

Switch 2 runs Switch 1 games via a compatibility layer, rather than hardware-level BC like previous Nintendo consoles. Some games have bugs, but Nintendo has been continuously updating the compatibilty layer to iron those out.

• The King of Fighters 2002 - Fans will argue over whether 98 or 2002 is best. 98 does not have Kula in it, so 2002 is better.

• Puzzle Bobble - If you have a friend to play with, the original is still the best. However, there’s no versus CPU, so substitute Bobble 3 if you’re playing by yourself.

• Waku Waku 7 - Incredibly goofy and colorful fighting game, every single character is a parody of 90s anime/game tropes.

• Twinkle Star Sprites - A versus shmup with a super unique format.

• Windjammers - A sort of extreme pong.

Also check out FightCade for netplay, many of these games have active communities.

It’s been a full decade since the last main series Puyo Puyo game, and Sega just keeps teasing us with shitty crossovers.

What features? What do you need software for?

Nearly all modern controllers support Xinput, an open API that will just work out of the box with no drivers needed.

Mega Knockdown is a turn-based fighting game that’s super simple to pick up and play while still offering a surprising amount of depth.

I’m here at Combo Breaker 2026 where we just had a small side tournament for the game last night, hosted by the developer. I took second.

Yes.

For the love of god, Montresor!

So it’s WarioWare Snapped?

My CS degree isn’t worth the paper it’s printed on. I can’t get experience because I don’t have experience.

I feel like I’ve heard this every console generation, that this time will be the end of consoles for real you guys!

I liked Etrian Odyssey IV’s subclass flexibility so much that I had a hard time going back to Etrian Odyssey Untold without it.
