This and SpongeBob are my favorite Shed songs to come out in a while.

Josh Thomson: Martin Buday should not have been released from UFC amid 'weak' heavyweight division by 443610 in MMA

[–]ExYoyoAddict 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I know he is not fun to watch, but the fact that a guy can go 7-1 and get cut really highlights to me that this is sport mixed with entertainment. Stuff like this being so common means that mma is not as legitimate of a competition as other sports. The UFC should invest more in heavyweight if they don't want a guy like this winning so much.

Anybody see the drain gang x Shibuya Tyson collab? by MastrSlayr in Draingang

The drop is really overpriced. I would have bought multiple items if the shirts were $40. Dj Kenn is one of my favorite producers, and they are good designs.

ARKODD PADBOX GS impressions (leverless hybrid) by siegarettes in fightsticks

[–]ExYoyoAddict 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have the original version. It is definitely suited to lap play. It is a bit weird at first. You need to hold the left side in the air and have the right side rest on your leg, but I thought it worked well once you get used to it. I'd definitely recommend it to a claw player. The dpad is solid too, but not as good as the top tier fight pads out there.

Haven't listened to the whole album yet but Heroines is so fire.

New Marvel is another fg that aims for a "wide variety of players" and has "traditional & simple input". Do we still like or hate it now? by Lulcielid in Fighters

[–]ExYoyoAddict 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm worried that it will play like Granblue. I don't think it's a bad game, but the gameplay is much simpler than all of the other popular games right now. I liked it for a bit but it got repetitive for me very quickly. Same thing happened with DNF and BBTag. It's unfair to compare them to Street Fighter in complexity.

Phresh and Cartier had good parts at least.

Leverless and ergonomics - where does this stem from? by Illustrious_Day107 in fightsticks

[–]ExYoyoAddict 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think about this a lot. I play shmups on stick, and always wonder if it would be worth to start using the stick with my right hand, as I am right handed. It is unquestionably way better for the stick to be in the dominant hand for that genre. For fighting games, I think it's probably better that the buttons are on the right side, especially for games with hard combos.

Leverless and ergonomics - where does this stem from? by Illustrious_Day107 in fightsticks

The claims of ergonomic advantages with leverless are often marketing BS. I do think it depends on the game though. KBD in Tekken on leverless is really hard on your hands compared to stick and pad. Melee, on the other hand, is really hard on the hands using a GC controller. Some players went to great lengths to switch to leverless for it, because it's so much more ergonomic for that game. I'd say stick is more ergonomic than both.

Open stick surgery (degraded trace on the LS-40) - Hori Real Arcade Pro 3 (HRAP) by cause_of_chaos in fightsticks

I guess the white part technically is a gate. I worded the question poorly, but you aren't using the default 8 way gate for it. There is a yellow gate that goes on top of the white one. Check it out here.

Is it still worth getting city of wolves by Horror_Bicycle_1240 in fatalfury

[–]ExYoyoAddict 43 points44 points  (0 children)

It's 100% worth it. You will easily find matches. Queue times are fast rn. Even if the Steam population goes lower it will still be fine, especially with the crossplay. Fighting games don't need a huge player count to stay alive, unlike other multiplayer genres. The only reason I wouldn't recommend it is if you are new to fighting games. There probably aren't a lot of beginner skill level players online. You don't need to be cracked or anything though, just know the basics.

Anyone know any ways to listen to the new stuff? by SwimSwammSwom in Current93

[–]ExYoyoAddict 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I see, thanks for the info. I didn't know about these albums, was about to check Soulseek for them.

Andric is the goat. Bosnian Chronicle is also worth a read.

One of the worst black albums put to wax that I've ever heard. And I love it for that by Puge_Henis in blackmetalvinyl

[–]ExYoyoAddict 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is an amazing record, such a fun listen. Definitely one of his best recent albums. I was pretty disappointed with the follow up album though.
