It should be needless to say, but all the activity coming from this account (past, present and future) is purely personal and represents myself only!

@Myke623 What a one handed backhand does to you.

[Ravsieg - João P. @Ravsieg]

@BandaiNamcoSEA Hey guys, just a quick note... you swapped Misugi with Ishizaki. 😅

During the WY arc, Misugi was centre back and Ishizaki was the right back.

I still don't understand how Captain Tsubasa can be unknown in English speaking countries, but easily an all-time top 5 anime everywhere else. It's an incredible level of disparity.

@QuestsAbroad This also works the other way around. I've seen many fellow non-English natives sound way more dismissive than they meant to because they say "I don't care" when they mean "I'm fine either way".

[Ravsieg - João P. @Ravsieg]

@nostalgia_ Nobody around me was either. OTOH Saturn owners were all over the place.

@gerher_1 @CptTsubasa2WF Every Uzbek got a Russian name in CT... but most real Uzbeks got Turkic and Muslim names.
This is a throwback to the 80s where nobody was really aware of what the rest of the world was like! Like an Italian named Hernandez, and ninjas & samurais being Chinese in western media. 🤣

[Ravsieg - João P. @Ravsieg]

@St1ka @Longlius It's not even a Spanish name >_>

[Ravsieg - João P. @Ravsieg]

Losing my one shot in 5 minutes & then having to wait months for my next go was disheartening.

Getting to practice at home, so I got to extend those 5 minutes, was a massive gamechanger and led to some very good memories.

[Ravsieg - João P. @Ravsieg]

I feel like this take comes from the privilege of ease of access.

Arcades were a long car distance away from me when I was a child, and my parents weren't keen on letting me play beyond one credit - which happened every blue moon. (1/2)

[James “jchensor” Chen @jchensor]

I felt this so much when MAME first started getting popular. I was so excited to play so many of my favorite old arcade games and… while I enjoyed revisiting them, it didn’t feel right. Something about not putting in that 25¢ made it feel emptier. It was harder for me to care in a weird way.

The stretching of your quarter was the point. Knowing that if you died you didn’t just continue for free or could use Save States to pass a difficult section gets you more invested. For 25¢, you could add weight to your game as much as betting on a sports game between two teams you don’t care about.

But the nice thing was that getting better was your own thing. You wanted to one credit a game not because it was a competition or that you wanted everyone to know about it, but because you wanted to prove yourself you could. Or at least get the highest score and put your initials as the #1 point getter for the game at your arcade. No one would know it was you, but you left your mark.

@Myke623 What the hell?
I've been reading numerical notation since the Virtua Fighter 4 / SoulCalibur II days and I never ever saw anybody write a redundant 5 for neutral. I guess I don't hang around the FGC enough.

[Ravsieg - João P. @Ravsieg]

@ChristineZmemes @PixelCNinja The correct answer!

[Ravsieg - João P. @Ravsieg]

@oBLACKSTARo DoA was built off VF2's engine on the exact same SEGA hardware, so it's practically VF's step-sibling. Def worth supporting.

[Ravsieg - João P. @Ravsieg]

@PC98_Audi @timeextension64 Sorry to say mate, I strongly doubt he held you in much higher regards than the others. Prejudiced people don't really make that kind of exception, that's precisely the issue.
I'm more inclined to say he felt safe with being (relatively) honest to you because of your connections.

[Ravsieg - João P. @Ravsieg]

I really don't understand how so many westerners idolise that person when, time after time over the years, SO MANY of these stories have come out. Cult of personality is the worst.

[Time Extension @timeextension64]

@PC98_Audi Funny you should say that as someone who worked on one of our other sites spoke to him during the Ivy press tour and he spent the entire interview saying our guy was asking stupid questions, but in Japanese (our man was told this later)

[Ravsieg - João P. @Ravsieg]

@ShutUpYihSap @DaddyDirrt @TheRealMrACL This. I can handle 35C in Portugal just fine. 25C in London is a thousand times worse.

[Ravsieg - João P. @Ravsieg]

@lilifying I don't think it's fair to include all of Europe in the 'maybe 3 shows' section. Flying to the UK isn't cheap nor seamless these days - your application to visit's got to be approved.

It's not much better than a Central/South American going to the US for a show.

[Ravsieg - João P. @Ravsieg]

@ViuvasDoArcade Mais do que a qualidade dos gráficos, era a fluidez da imagem. Esse jogo é 'smooth as silk', ficando bem a combinar com a jogabilidade também muito fluída.

[Ravsieg - João P. @Ravsieg]

@SEGAInforment The problem isn't for other Brits. The problem is for continental Europe fans, who have no choice but to travel here.
It's 200x worse for them than it is for non-Londoner Brits.

(Not to mention they actually have a bunch of other UK dates.)

[Ravsieg - João P. @Ravsieg]

@sonic_hedgehog @sonicsymphtour In no other event did I see so many people trampling over special needs attendees & blocking others’ views without a care in the world.
Like many other Sonic fans, I grew up feeling detached and misunderstood. It really saddened me to see this from those who should know best.

[Ravsieg - João P. @Ravsieg]

@sonic_hedgehog Exciting, but I hope the crowd is more respectful on London’s Eventim Apollo than the @sonicsymphtour one… I’ve been to 15+ gigs/events since that year and that one stuck to my memory for being the one with the least considerate crowd, by far.
