@aufgehenderRest it does, thx for all your work in this area

[Merle @WokePeater]

@miltonappl3 Kantbots research into this area is so interesting. Heraldry was really important to the symbolism in the masques they would throw.

[Tekken Underground @TKUNDRGRND]

Still got that fire.

Personal Work:
Small experiment to wrap up the work week. Ever since my undergrad, I've been chasing digital degradation. I find it so uniquely beautiful it its unpredictable chaotic nature.

@TKUNDRGRND @KOFTEKKEN112 I once heard that KOFTEKKEN had footage of old America TTT tournaments & stuff with Kim Bong Min facing American players
I’d love to see & I’d personally upload it if I ever got one of the tapes

[Mandarin @Mandarin2099]

@KOFTEKKEN112 heard the config can be touchy to calibrate but for players within the same region new ggpo interface is a bit better than kailerra
@TKUNDRGRND regularly holds tournaments & are going strong
Btw I’ve also heard you have an insane collection of old TTT VHS 🐐👑

@TKUNDRGRND T5DR needs to step in big time now that many are so sad from T8S3

@qudans1987 @Z10esports we used to watch your matches in early 2000s & download Qudans matches from Tekken Zaibtatsu
hope to play you some day

@GADoSoWhat @qudans1987 @Z10esports Yes PAL PS2 port is a slow & runs 30fps Should be avoided
US & JPN versions are perfect but have slightly rounded off hitboxes only noticeable in ultra rare instances
@woodchipdust has tested frames
Many still play US PS2 TTT
A beauty in its own right
PS3 port is trash & buggy

@madish2000 @aufgehenderRest awesome book - appreciated his critique of “looking back” and its allure

[Mandarin @Mandarin2099]

@RPM_PlayStation Tekken Tag watered down the aesthetic a bit but refined the movement & spacing system plus rebalanced some glitchy / OP moves. T3 was gold & TTT was platinum pinnacle of the series.

[Mandarin @Mandarin2099]

@AryaTayebi let me know if you want to collab on a Tekken Tag video

[Mandarin @Mandarin2099]

@klaww__ @AryaTayebi very insightful

[Mandarin @Mandarin2099]

@thezachloeffler curious if you personally like Beckett / would recommend him

[Mandarin @Mandarin2099]

@thezachloeffler Does he talk about how the profitable inclusion of a thing in a category (branding) can devalue / obscure the value of things already in the category?

One of the most interesting - yet rarely noted - coinages in Hegel’s Logic is the term “Materiatur,” which is rendered somewhat disastrously in the Giovanni as “materiality.” What Hegel actually has in mind is a new logical conception of matter as internally structured. 1/
