Just_DuckE - Twitch Teaching @capitana about baseball [ !discord ]

Teaching my sister @capitana.bsky.social about the wonderful, glorious game of baseball. Come check it out if you want to learn! www.twitch.tv/just_ducke

My younger sibling @capitana.bsky.social has asked me to teach her about the game of baseball.

This lesson might be streamed live on Twitch tomorrow night, so if you're interested in learning about baseball, this might be your chance.

(Also we're probably playing Guilty Gear afterward...)

Am I being petty? Probably.

Do I care? Not really.

Am I right either way? Absolutely.

I'm going back and forth on whether I want to wait on this. It does look quite good, but not sure if it's a right-now game.

At some point, I should do a thread of all the fighting games I've played since I started my daily FG routine after Frosty's.

I've been trying to play a lot of different games, and I have thoughts that I just need to get out of my brain.

What justification could there possibly be to bomb and kill literal children?

Worse, why are people falling over themselves trying to justify it???

YAGPDB Discord Status: why don't we replace ducks with ai, imagine all the bread we'd save.

Man, fuck you, maybe we should replace all the Discord bots with something that can feel actual emotion and create real art.

Also, the increased cost to run that AI would easily eclipse the amount you'd save on bread. Just sayin'...

My mini Guilty Gear stickers from @maddestmao.com came in and they are PERFECT for my C16. 🩵

Ngl the grumpy birb and the glam gecko are tempting... But I gotta take the doggo. I have no choice.

Pombom from Pokemon Winds and Waves

This guy straight up looks like my mom's dog. I'm gonna have to pick him, no question.

What the fuck, Kansas???

I know it's not the first piece of anti-trans bullshit legislation, but this is one of the most aggressive and outright cruel examples.

It'll just embolden other states to pass even worse legislation. It's fucked up. Just... fuck, dude...

I read that as Nirvangelion and I had the instant image of Kurt Cobain piloting a mech while wearing those sunglasses. You know the ones.

I always have this feeling that I don't fit in anywhere. It gnaws at me constantly and I don't know how to shake it.

Doesn't help that I find socializing extremely difficult. It's hard to know where you fit when it's a struggle to actually talk to people...

many are saying: woims

On the train, trying my hardest not to burst out laughing at this.

THEY PAY ME IN WOIMS! WOIMS, I TELLS YA!

Don't forget: "Performer of highly explosive pop-offs."

Oh c'mon, ArcSys, c'moooooooon...

Read the fucking room!

While I have been enjoying my daily fighting game practice, I will note that playing online has not been a part of it.

This is because I remember how demotivating it's been in the past, especially ranked, and I dread it happening again.

But I know I have to get past it at some point.

Just_DuckE - Twitch I'm tired, let's roll... [ !discord ]

I'm tired, so let's roll some things up in We Love Katamari to wake up... www.twitch.tv/just_ducke

hold on i gotta take this

To be clear, the streak started the day after Frosty's, so it hasn't gone for that long, but it did prove to me that it isn't that hard to keep it up if I really wanted to.

Yesterday, I broke my streak of playing a fighting game every day because I was just too physically exhausted to do anything after I got home from work.

I will try to fit something in tonight, because I feel like I'm gradually improving mechanically and want to keep up the momentum.

I was starting to think I was being harsh for not playing 2XKO out of principle because of Riot being a terrible company, like I was blowing it out of proportion.

It's safe to say I no longer feel that trepidation. Boy I hate being proven right sometimes...

Since I've been trying to play a fighting game every day, I decided to break out the stick.

I realize that most things are easier for me on stick, but I have two big issues: double-tap dashing and accidental jumping. Also the lack of extra buttons is noticable.

Maybe just need to work on it?

Wasn't feeling it yesterday, but I still managed to keep the "fighting game a day" streak alive by trying stuff out in ST and Vampire Savior.

Gotta untie that mental knot somehow.

Kirby's Avalanche literally exists.

I'm also making the effort to play a fighting game every day at least a little bit. I feel like I need to get over the mental block I've had for a while now.

I may even learn KenJu!

After taking a day off to recover, I'm finally able to say: Frosty Faustings was a good time. Saw some great matches, did my first Mystery tournament, supported some fantastic artists.

Looking forward to next year, and to Combo Breaker, of course.
