I’m not a fighting game fan myself, but I looooooove watching GGS.
It was the first time I was able to follow streamers as they began the game, worked at progressing, and slowly improved.
For many system shoppers it’s a good-for-nothing system
that classifies as opposites stupidity and wisdom.
because by logic-choppers it’s accepted with avidity;
stupidity’s true opposite is the opposite stupidity.

Bouncing between Xenoblade 2, WoW classic, BotW, and Gregtech. I have little time on weekdays- only an hour or two to screw around before work.
This was exactly where my mind went.
Like… sure. I can see the merit of an article titled “Top 10 reasons not to drive your spaceship through a star.” But I think we’re a bit far off from that. 😆
It might be that they’ve given up on the visuals and are now making all the changes all at once. They’re ripping off the bandaid overhauling their site and are banking that the damage will be recover in time.
With the current state of dissatisfaction from the community, now might be a good time to plow through and make all the changes that are already undesirable for the old user base.
Maybe even more of these big changes to come? More popcorn for the Fediverse I suppose.

Another side of this is hedonism vs fulfillment. There’s nothing wrong with enjoying hedonism, so long as one isn’t harming themselves or others in the process. But living purely to satiate one’s hedonism tends to lead to a sense of hollowness or unfulfillment.
In addition to letting go of non-destructive hedonistic shame, it’s important to take time to introspect and find what brings a person genuine fulfillment.
I talked about this with a friend. From what I’ve seen it’s about the spectacle. It might not have Dark Souls levels of technical and mechanical design mastery, but hot damn, the sheer fucking spectacle of it all!
I think that’s the genius of the game. It’s not meant to be a space for player to hone or practice their action RPG combat skills. It’s meant to blow their minds and make them feel powerful.
