Just a reminder

[Specter @DemonFramed]

There is an entire generation of young men who feel like this. I hate to be that guy, but it’s over.

Lives with his parents.

5’4.

Dead-end job making $14/hourly.

Followed society’s expectations and got fucked over.

Struggles to socialize.

The only hope is a global catastrophe.

remembering them if you "treat jojo and baki like it's a comedy you enjoy them better" talks from a few days or like a week ago and it's making me realize that a lot of y'all don't understand that absurdity does not necessarily equal comedy

Just a small clarification regarding the facts.

The work behind the latest update had actually been in progress since last year, and what is currently being delivered is the result of that long-running effort. (Anyone who has worked in game development will probably understand this timeline—it’s not just about debugging and QA; there are also first-party certification and approval processes involved.)

About a year ago, I made this post –> ( https://t.co/0IH3lubaGB )

And yes, the direction of this patch update was naturally led by Nakatsu (Kohei Ikeda). At the same time, the other director you mentioned, Yasuki Nakabayashi, was also deeply involved in directing it. Mishimastar as well.

The reality is that they spent the past year working toward this release, and this update became the final work they delivered before leaving the company.

Also, this should go without saying, but not only for this update—these results are the product of many project members working incredibly hard, even if their names are not widely known. Because of that, I hope people will evaluate these achievements as the work of a team rather than focusing on individual names. (Personally, I don’t think there is much value in studying the credits and trying to attribute everything to specific individuals.)

I also see a variety of speculation and analysis from the community. Unfortunately, most of it is not accurate (and I don’t mean just this particular topic).

In fact, the directors whose names you mentioned, including Yasuki Nakabayashi, have already left the project and begun new journeys of their own.

There are also a small number of people who explain things based on their supposed knowledge of the game industry. Unfortunately, most of those explanations are not accurate either.

This is simply a factual clarification and nothing more. Nothing beyond that.

That will be all on this topic.

Now then, since we’re here, a quick personal update.

I recently considered changing my X account name, but the X team advised me against it. They warned that the current name could quickly be claimed by someone else and potentially used in a misleading way. Even the old trick of changing the name and immediately reclaiming it with another account apparently doesn’t work very well these days, because bots monitor these changes and can grab the name almost instantly. They did say X might lock the name, but there are no guarantees.

My heart remains with this community. It always has, and it always will. (Well, I do get angry from time to time, but I deliberately do that because I believe people expect honesty from me lol.)

So I’ve been thinking that perhaps I should leave this account here as a piece of history and simply create a new one. But there’s no rush. I have plenty of time to think about it.

For now, let’s keep talking here.

It turns out there is quite a bit of demand from younger generations for stories about the game industry in the 1990s and the early days of the 21st century. (Who would have thought? lol)

Anyway, today is guaranteed to be another incredibly fun day at VS Studio.

There is a shared environment, atmosphere,vision, and team here that genuinely feels like stepping back into the 1990s and the early 2000s.

Get Ready for the Next Creation!

I never seen manga fans more insecure about their genre than shonen fans every time a new manga comes out they be like "this manga deconstructs shonen" "this story is actually soft seinen" "how this manga changed shonen" y'all treat the word shonen like a slur lol

Any minute now I'm going to wake up at 2 AM to this on TV and realize the last 20+ years was a dream…..any…minute….now…

Nazis and White nationalists are the low hanging fruit of comics, wake me up when the superheroes are trashing bigots in the middle east and Africa.

[GODFOE UNIVERSE @GODFOE_UNIVERSE]

Every year people flee to the US from South American drug lords, from African war lords, from Russian wars, from Islamic caliphates, and the only villains writers can think up are Nazis and the KKK who were both so soundly defeated by the US they're all but extinct.

It’s annoying how the first response to an erectile dysfunction is “it must be porn addiction” actually it’s because I don’t love you and you’ll never be her

Thank you for all the plants and the arcade boards. I’d also like to bring one of my cocktail arcade table cabinet from my house and set it up in the office sometime this month.

***For Those Interested in Joining Us***

Applications literally flooded in before we had even officially started our recruiting process, and as a result, nearly all of this year’s hiring slots have already been reserved. We will likely be closing applications for the time being. (In the end, we never even got the chance to experience what a normal first-year recruiting cycle looks like lol.)

There are only two remaining days this month available for office tour reservations. Thank you!

[BlackHeart59_ 🇮🇹 @blackheart59_]

LET'S GET THIS STRAIGHT:
- YOU LIED ABOUT THE TEKKEN SHOP.
-YOU MESSED UP ON THE GENMAJI TEMPLE SITUATION.
-YOU IGNORE PEOPLE EXPOSING CHEATERS AND CHEATER DISCORDS FOR YEARS.
-YOU BLOCK PEOPLE THAT RESPECTFULLY CRITICIZE THE GAME AND WANT TO LIVE IN YOUR BUBBLE
-YOU BAN PEOPLE ON TEKKEN OFFICIAL STREAMS THAT WERE CALLING OUT THE CHEATING THAT HAPPENED IN LAST TWT WITH POINTS
-YOU MADE SEASON 2
-YOU LIED TO YOUR FANS SAYING "BACK TO BASICS" IN SEASON 3 AND THEN DELIVERED NOTHING AGAIN
-YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR SOME OF THE WORST CHOICES EVER DONE ON THE FRANCHISE
And you have the courage of blaming this on the FANS?
WHERE IS YOUR DIGNITY? WHERE IS SHAME?

[Ashley Reese @offbeatorbit]

Learning how to drive is one of those things you’re really better off doing when you’re a teenager and your brain isn’t fully developed and you’re a little more fearless bc if I had to learn as a grown ass adult I’d be petrified.

[Chibi Reviews @ChibiReviews]

You attack adult women for how they look in cosplay and instantly think of children

Shut the fuck up please

Obsession gets a 0/10 from me, "imagine if an attractive woman loved you". I don't find that very scary.
