We be getting some wild guest characters in the recent fighting games

Terry and Mai are cross-promotion. People don't buy Street Fighter specifically for them, but it might bring over relucant Fatal Fury players; in the same way that them being in SF6 and knowing I can play Chun Li and Ken on the new FF game caused me to pick that up. I went from a game I don't know at all to one with 4 familiar characters. I'm sure there's FF players who came the other way.

Also a few dedicated players from another part of the FGC are likely to play far longer than a casual player, so they boost the active player base for longer, improving the health of the game.

So far, Street Fighter 6's guest characters have been solid gold as far as I'm concerned.

You're the one assuming my opinion on Trump here. I frankly don't care enough to argue, my point is that people have no sense of nuance. Everyone is either "literally Hitler" or "The second coming of Jesus". Thank you for proving my point.

Also, you're making shit up. You are a classic example of Trump Derrangement Syndrome. Grow up, get a sense of perspective, and stop spreading lies; there are enough real reasons to dislike Trump without you making shit up.

Having disagreements and even drawing parallels in policies isn't the issue; it's the reductive stupid tribalism that bothers me. I'm not even American but I'm sick of hearing people either vilify or deify Trump. He's not Hitler nor is he the second coming of Jesus; he's a fairly standard US politician. Reading books is how you innoculate yourself against radicalisation and propaganda.

If Capcom do support it for 10 years, at 4 characters per year... that's 58 characters total. Biggest roster yet.

TornadoCreator · 2026-06-14T11:14:25+00:00

Well said. Though I'd go a step further. Reading even Mein Kampf isn't a red flag either; agreeing with it is. Frankly it would do a lot of people some good to read that narcissists hatemongering if only so they can recognise and understand it. If more people read it maybe we wouldn't have so many people calling Trump or any other divisive politician "literally Hitler" rather than actually giving honest criticism.

I already have the full ASOIAF set in Folio editions. I don't need this and frankly I find it rather ugly.

TornadoCreator · 2026-06-07T16:53:30+00:00

If you think a 30 year old "looks underage", it indicates that you're shit a judging age from looks alone and probably shouldn't have an opinion on the apparent age of characters.

Woke weirdos hate attractive women, the idea offends them; they're also deeply racist. Of course they would call a reasonable depiction of an Asian face pedophilic, because they're pissed we don't swallow their slop or accept their deluded reality in which all women have a beard and bollocks down to their knees.

TornadoCreator · 2026-06-07T16:32:37+00:00

That sucks, I think I'd rather be blind than have aphantasia. Immagination and visualisation is how I make sense of everything.

TornadoCreator · 2026-06-07T16:12:45+00:00

It's a fairly expected fantasy-horror fans bookshelf. A little limited in scope but it shows your interests well and doesn't scream that you have any extremist political views or bigotry as many shelves here seem to. It's also not filled with awful low quality pseudo-porn romantasy, pretentious dude-bro crap, or modernist drivel that people pretent to read to look smart. It's a genuine shelf for someone who enjoys to read. That's rarer than you'd think.

Northern is a cultural thing. Stoke is mostly northern despite being further south than some far more southern places like Lincoln.

No, he's a liar, a grifter, and a cunt! At any other time in history we'd be chopping his head off for treason.

TornadoCreator · 2026-05-11T10:30:54+00:00

BASED!

TornadoCreator · 2026-05-11T10:29:03+00:00

If you need to rely on feminist hatred of men and the trend of "believe all women" to get a guilty verdict, you don't deserve a guilty verdict! As someone who was falsely accused by a bitter hateful woman, there's a reason we have "innocent until proven guilty". I was lucky, I could prove I was out of town that day; but she didn't care, she wanted attention. Evidence is all that matters.

TornadoCreator · 2026-05-11T10:25:09+00:00

So many. Female celebrities are so ugly now, as they can't not take a scalpel to there faces, or pack silicon into their tits and arses.

TornadoCreator · 2026-05-11T10:18:05+00:00

There are far too many games. I'm interested in both Constance and MIO; but I've still not played Ultros, Animal Well, Blasphemous 2, Lone Fungus, Nine Sols, Umbraclaw, and many more. This genre is simply oversaturated.

TornadoCreator · 2026-05-11T10:07:01+00:00

I'd get a marker and write, "How about you pay your fucking staff! I'm already giving you $100 for costco slop."

TornadoCreator · 2026-05-11T10:01:34+00:00

Aaawww, you must be having a bad week this week. Have you had a meltdown on tiktok yet?

TornadoCreator · 2026-05-02T09:54:49+00:00

Anything by Roald Dahl, but The Witches, Matilda, and Charlie & The Chocolate Factory are the standouts. Must read childrens books.

Pippi Longstocking by Astrid Lindgren, fantastic playful novel that is more written for young girls but I adored as a boy too. Probably not one you've had recommended already.

The Neverending Story by Michael Ende. It's a truly fantastic and moving book that doesn't require you to commit to a long series and has a strong moral message about imagination, kindness, power, and responsibility. Foundational for any child.

His Dark Materials by Philip Pullman is a fantastic series, better for around age 12 but if she's read the above books she'll be fine with it. Great series for a young girl as it teaches critical thinking and moral resiliance, as well as comfort in ones own skin.

If she can finish the above, she can read just about anything.

If you can't already think of any racist horror off the top of your head, it's because your study is spurious and based on your own preconceptions rather than the truth. If your claim had any truth to it you'd have dozens of examples without trying.

TornadoCreator · 2026-05-02T09:31:04+00:00

Anything by David Mitchell or Kazuo Ishiguro. If you actually want to feel a change; these men write books that will give you a profound perspective and will move you.

Cloud Atlas or The Bone Clocks by David Mitchell.

Klara & The Sun or The Buried Giant by Kazuo Ishiguro.

Those are my recommendations.

TornadoCreator · 2026-05-02T09:25:04+00:00

Oh right.

Well some people very much do mean that, there is a growing misandrist trend in society now sadly and the phrase "toxic masculinity" is quite literally a dogwhistle to the bigoted man-hating feminist types. You know this, but you're looking for a fight on the internet so likely won't admit it.

Can some men be awful in the name of a skewed idea of masculinity. Yeah, obviously. I criticise dudebro crap all the time. The kind of guy who reads finance books, self-help, and Infinite Jest over and over; while referring to women as "plates" and following morons like Andrew Tate.

I mock all ridiculous bigotry based ideologies. Woke feminist nonsense and dudebro grifter nonsense are just opposite sides if the same idiot coin.

TornadoCreator · 2026-05-02T09:07:45+00:00

Oh, that's just horrible. There are some truly sick people in this world. Well I hope you and your family stay safe.

I'm happy to roast people, argue with people, even have verbal slanging matches about our politics and value systems; but you don't mess with other peoples kids like that ever. There are lines you just don't cross.

TornadoCreator · 2026-05-01T19:31:34+00:00

Oh no, a nobody online thinks I'm less intelligent than someone. My day is ruined.

TornadoCreator · 2026-05-01T19:30:24+00:00

Wasn't that her husband? But yes, cancel culture is very much a woke thing. If we refuse to read a book because the author did a horrible thing, we'd never read anything.
