How do I play games? Behold! my blade!

The black box is for controlling directions with the feet.

Left, Right with the left foot,
Down, Up with the right foot.

The white box has every other action one should need, except joysticks (still pondering that one).

[Justin Elkins @9thPixel]

Agreed, I honestly think both players should be as isolated as possible. Notes and coaching, and all the rest are always going to corrupt a 1v1.

I definitely feel some type of way about it, being disabled. You have two working hands, AND you need extra help to beat me? Really?

@___TheGOOdWitch ...then began men to call upon the name of the LORD. Genesis 4:26 (King James Version)

And Jesus Christ many early appearances like in Genesis 18 talking with Abraham. All the animal sacrifices were foreshadowings of Christ (Hebrews 10).

@sanderson1611 Question good sir.

Can a list of people you make a habit of praying for ever become a vain repetition?

I am trying to make a practice of Romans 1:9, but I do wonder if I am praying right. Because I do have prayers where I rattled through the names of people I care about.

[Justin Elkins @9thPixel]

@JustinHyuga Vocals? Love to hear'em. I'm slowly climbing the distortion mountain. Getting control of the false folds and fry is taking a lot longer to really feel like, "I've got it" than I thought.

Singing in general is such a skill to behold, especially when you understand the work.

[Justin Elkins @9thPixel]

Trying to play a PVP game while mourning a family member's passing is such a strange feeling. I want to keep my streak of playing Tekken 8 every day, but my heart isn't in it one bit.

To not be too much of a downer. It's curious how much depression affects my timing in game🤔

[Justin Elkins @9thPixel]

Saying goodbye soon to yet another person (third?) who is a brother to me. These past few years have been such a heavy heart.

Even when you know you'll see them again. You still want to cry out. "We were supposed to grow old together!" 😭

[Justin Elkins @9thPixel]

@VolSkimmer I don't play Street Fighter, because liking any character that isn't Ryu or Chun Li is almost certain sorrow.

Capcom's cutting room floor is deep enough to go for a swim, and they love to tie hope on a string and see how high fans will jump.

So to me, Tekken's way all day.

[Justin Elkins @9thPixel]

@sanderson1611 It's why all the doom and futureless gloom about AI feels like deja vu to me. Because it seemed like all the gray heads in church could talk about when I was a kid was that Jesus is coming soon.

I'm glad other things still have to happen first.

[Justin Elkins @9thPixel]

@MF_DVAof6Paths A block button requires visual feedback that it's active. And the more realistic fighting games look the more it destroys immersion.

It's the same with juggles. These elements were fine when graphics were low, but seeing real-ish people bouncing around is getting a bit weird.

[Justin Elkins @9thPixel]

So nice to play my game against a stronger player even when I am certain I'll lose. The pull is strong to not needlessly throw the game away.

But, I can better walk away with my chin up if I feel like I showed them some home made recipes they haven't seen before in Tekken.

[Justin Elkins @9thPixel]

@DroopiTV Just define fighting game directionals as a lever for hands, a d-pad for thumbs, and buttons for shoes. That way I can still play when the ban goes through, lol.

In all seriousness, it's over. Because the ripple effect of a ban is telling disabled gamers like me to get out.

[Justin Elkins @9thPixel]

@Kazsune 1. Parry/Reversal For All
Everyone given a 4P+K if they don't have such & changed from 5f to 1f startup.

[Justin Elkins @9thPixel]

It's too funny to revisit material I did back in school. I sit and wonder how I ever did it as a kid. I stare and work at it bit trying to get it again.

Then suddenly, it's like my brain opens up an old shed of old dusty neurons, and turns the key. It's alive, it's alive! lol

[Justin Elkins @9thPixel]

@SomLikeItRedHot American Tekken players be like, Joey Jojo, Joey Fury, Joe Blow, Joe Crush, and all the Joe and Joey rest.

Any more Joe's and commentary is going to have to stamp a number on their forehead to keep track.

[Justin Elkins @9thPixel]

I got curious about it and from what I can tell. I currently have a

204 Day Streak -
Playing Tekken 8 a little bit every single day.

Thanks EWGF Dot GG for the Recent Activity tracker. That has made keeping this fun little habit pretty easy.

[Justin Elkins @9thPixel]

@Speedkicks Agreed, it would also be a pretty great reality if Tekken, DOA, VF, and Harada's next project all really found a strong position in the market.

It'd be cool to feel what it's like to be a 2d fighting game fan who is always being chased down the street to try a new flavor.

[Justin Elkins @9thPixel]

I'm really understanding why people from Japan and similar places are generally really good at drawing.

Kanji and similar symbols take real practice to not look like chicken scratch. And stroke order is so weird at first, but once you get it, it makes a lot of sense.

[Justin Elkins @9thPixel]

@michaelhitack Any color can be a cheater. Thankfully a persistent cheater will always get found out. Because you have to be under some divine curse to be this stupid.

The kid is writing down every Chess move, and there's a double check on the board. Even a dog would know that the jig is up.

[Justin Elkins @9thPixel]

If Tekken 8 really is the final Tekken. At least the story (not the DLC addon) was great and had a definitive ending.

And the budget poured into the game means it will be easy on the eyes for a long time. I'll just be sad to be an FGC castaway, because 2d just isn't that deep.

[Justin Elkins @9thPixel]

@CDDTReborn @SebboTK In Tekken 8, bears have almost non-existent legs, their get up LP+RP complicates okizeme, and Hunting Stance is a high crushing stance with a mid block and a low parry.

So, lows are a NO, throwing can get you reverse okizeme'd, highs get crushed and mids get armored. GLHF! 😆
