I was talking to my cousin earlier about Backrooms, how much I liked the narrative and the themes of it only to be hit with "eh. I like when I don't have to think about a movie after I watched it"

INTRODUCTION

『VIRTUA FIGHTER CROSSROADS』
=======
The use of firearms in this city will be punished by death.
=======
There is no law in Vilasapara aside from the pacts enforced by the crime syndicates, keeping chaos at bay -- barely.
When four strangers arrive at this crossroads, phantoms thought buried for twenty years begin to surface, and this fragile order begins to crack.
The first of these cracks is a masked man known only as the Bakunawa Killer, who has left dozens of street brawlers maimed or worse.

I was lucky to see Rage Against the Machine in 1994, I played guitar in an indie band back then.
This was before the internet and so my first chance to see how Tom Morello made those noises was at a gig.
I was blown away by him as a musician. He remains a hero to this day.
I'm furious about this.
I'm a parent and one of my children who falls in this age category has faced very serious in person bullying at school that extended out into social media. It was all encompassing and seriously harmful.
So I understand the potential for seriously negative impact from social media on young people.
But the single most important thing that got them through it was their friendship online with kids in the US. 1 in particular who became a very close friend who was part of a larger group.
They game together but spend the time chatting and working on plans for the future. It's a true friendship. Talking about business ideas, culture, etc, for hours everyday.
Without that, they would have had absolutely no outlet and been doomed to only exist in a reality in which they have been completely outcast.
As a parent, I monitor social media use using already available tools. I create accounts myself and know who is being interacted with.
I set up curfews for certain apps on all devices but make sure I allow for the positive interactions and friendships to happen.
As some are in the US, that means access at late hours but I'm entirely capable of managing this and I know the trade offs involved and then manage through those as well.
I talk with my children directly about the risks, what to do, what not to do and why.
If the government moves forward with these blanket curfews, that will cut my child off from their best friend for good which will very seriously impact their mental health.
I will absolutely not accept the government harming my child in this manner.
thank you Nintendo for not showing a second more of Zelda so that we get to enjoy a couple months worth of discourse on video game stylization vs realism based entirely off a dark 5 second clip
this week has been awesome, can you imagine how fun it'd be if all of these were bundled together in some sort of electronic entertainment expo lol thatd be cute i think
Gen z calling liking phone free concerts a boomer take is funny because there's nothing more boomeresque than saying 'I'm paying so I'm entitled to do whatever I want' like a fucking Karen.
Even if you have zero interest in playing Virtua Fighter or any other fighting game - real, meaningful competition in the 3D fighting game space should excite you. It means Tekken has to pull its socks up.
