Turning 30 soon but I’ll always put aside some time to play a game. Too many good games out there & not enough time though. Pizza Tower, lethal company, baldurs gate 3, Mario wonder, smrpg remake. Those are only some of my favorites I played. I know there’s just so much more this year alone in the indie scene I want to play.
check has a lot of drama behind him & not a good one to support. Rooflemonger also another I don’t support given how he’s acted.
The others I’m less sure of as I don’t religiously watch them. I think they pump out content much faster through twitch while the ones I listed definitely put in work for more unique videos.
Damn, I’m a FGC zoomer. I did grow up on MK Trilogy, Smash, & KI Gold for the N64. Did play some rival schools, mvc2, & power stone on the Dreamcast along with all of 3D era Mortal Kombat on the OG Xbox.
I played MvC3 & UMvC3 for a year each after launch. I didn’t know of the FGC or fundamental ideas like meaties so I was still an extreme casual pressing buttons. It wasn’t until Killer Instinct 2013 where I found out about online brackets & the FGC. Went to my first offline thanks to that game.
Nowadays? SF6 is cool, Guilty Gear Strive is definitely a favorite but don’t play it as much as I used to. Mortal Kombat 1 though? I’m hooked. I know I know. NRS player but man that game is 1000x better than MK11 in terms of gameplay. I’ve also been labbing Skullgirls on the side to play with a couple friends casually as we wait for Project L.
I’m also a fan of the indie games out there. Arcus Chroma, Punch Planet, lethal league blaze (not really a FG but still slaps), your only move is hustle, ultra fight DA kyanta 2 (peak kusoge gameplay). It’s just mad fun convincing at least 1 friend to hop on & play some random game for a bit. As much as I’ve enjoyed having that DAWG in me to grind & compete, it’s been nice to just not stress about that stuff.
Not gonna lie, that’s one of my favorite parts of TheoryFighter but I’ve acquired the metal taste over the years. I think it’s all instrumental doom metal. Not a genre I’m too familiar with but I should give it a listen today.
I’ve seen a chunk of self hosting posts & this guide also looks awesome. Main issue right is hardware. I have a laptop from 2012 but it lacks USB 3.0 & I’m not sure if it could handle something like this. I’m quite excited to continue researching this & giving a shot though!
