I'm hosting a day 2 watch party, and going to a final day watch party that's hosted by a local FGC group.

Personally I'm most interested in SF6 and Uni2. Going to have a good crowd and multiple screens set up at my place so we can have two or three of the Evo streams playing, plus one setup for casuals.

I'm in my 40s and made a number of new friends this year by getting involved with my local fighting game scene. If you're into videogames at all I'd suggest trying it, and if you're not into fighting games specifically there are absolutely people at your locals who will be happy, if not excited, to teach you.

Fighting games are unique among competitive games in that while there is no cooperative aspect in the game itself they have developed one of the most collaborative and friendliest gaming communities I have ever had the pleasure of interacting with.

I'm sorry... 18 year old puritan... furries? Can you elaborate?

Have them apply for tax exemption as non-profit charities then. If what you say is true then they should have no trouble qualifying.

Alberta seems to have missed that memo.

The use of language like "unaware" when people are discussing LLMs drives me crazy. LLMs aren't "aware" of anything. They do not have a capacity for awareness in the first place.

People need to stop taking about them using terms that imply thought or consciousness, because it subtly feeds into the idea that they are capable of such.

It's more than a feeling.

Right? The fact that this is an extra bit of tracking information I don't want makes this an easy sell for anyone looking for a reason to do this, but for me it's because it just makes links uglier.

Raising a question means what you think it does. Bringing up a question which is a natural consequence or follow-up to a previously stated point.

The original meaning of begging the question is quite different and is a form of circular argument where the premise of an argument already assumes its conclusion is correct.

What is gained by having no eyes? Can you answer my question about what it means to regress?

[–] vithigar@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 week ago (3 children)

What do you mean by "regress"? Is the Mexican tetra un-evolving its eyes not a regression?

 

I made a post here a few days ago complaining about content all being elsewhere, which was nice to vent, but doesn't really help the situation. Now I've decided to be the change.

Let's actually talk a little. What games do you all play? Tell me what you like about them!

Personally I've always been big into Street Fighter. I enjoy almost any fighting game, but the SF series is the one that I have by far put the most time into. I'm having a blast with SF6, even if I am just a diamond rated scrub. :D

 

Just venting, but if you want to avoid Twitter it means missing out on easily 90% of FGC activity, and the remaining 10% is almost all Discord and Reddit.

RIP SRK.

 

I can't wait.
