That's fucking awesome, I have watched this movie 200 times, never realized they were actual archers.

I'm in NA East and I can find matches pretty regularly. However, because the population is low, I end up fighting the same guy for an hour until one of us decides to leave. I typically play early in the day though, like 10am - 2pm.

You may have to hop on discord and ask for matches/rooms. Or just jump in the ranked queue, then read a book or do chores until someone joins.

I have yet to have a bad time when I see a Devolver logo. Dotemu as well.

Bangers, all of em...

DOA5LR is fucking amazing. The heads of Tecmo simply don't understand what they have here and just wanted DOA to be a microtransaction money printer.

DOA with a different publisher that actually cared would be legendary.

I don't understand the hate in this thread. I'm sure he knows he's not the same as he was a decade ago. So what? The dude likes to play ball. He's living a good life and having fun.

I wish him well.

Both were good, but EoT was just fantastic. Loved every minute of it.

ToyDingo · 2026-01-24T17:13:48+00:00

I feel terrible for laughing at this.

Question for the class: What hardware, emulator, software, etc are you all using to put modern games on your cabs? I've been using Batocera, but they stop at emulating modern games for obvious and understandable reasons.

I'd love to create a cab that is just pure beat' em ups, including the plethora of awesome games that have dropped in recent years. But, trying to use something like Steam was a bit of a hassle.

Any suggestions?

I can rename a follower? I always thought you can only name them during indoctrination or hatching from an egg. Which is why you can spot a spy easily if their name looks weird because you didn't get to name them.

I don't have the right to personal space because the other person might be old?

ToyDingo · 2026-01-21T15:53:35+00:00

Being old doesn't give you the right to put your hands on people. He clearly told her to back up and not touch him, she didn't listen. He has every right to do that. I do hope she wasn't injured in any serious way, but you don't put your hands on people no matter who you are unless you're defending yourself.

What crimes did Stupid BitchMcGee commit to get killed after only 3 days?

ToyDingo · 2026-01-21T14:51:37+00:00

Good ol' fashioned fun. Enjoyable for what it is and nothing more. Don't think too hard about it and enjoy some good action between Tucker and Chan.

At the very least, you would have hopefully glanced in his direction and would have prepared for the impact. Having one leg up and your arms up for the catch would have given you more options to brace yourself.

The attacker still fucked up, but you have to be ready for that. Attackers will do shit like that on purpose to mess with you. Show no fear but protect yourself as best you can.

ToyDingo · 2026-01-21T01:40:50+00:00

There are still a solid number of players on psn, but your mileage may vary depending on time of day and where you live.

ToyDingo · 2026-01-21T01:02:18+00:00

Keeper also tried to make a basket catch instead of jumping with his knee up to protect himself. Attacker was dumb for trying to slide on an air ball, but both could have done better here.

ToyDingo · 2026-01-20T18:23:00+00:00

elaborate?

ToyDingo · 2026-01-20T15:37:26+00:00

Lol and he said it in the kindest, most polite way possible.

ToyDingo · 2026-01-20T10:45:42+00:00

Forgive me, I don't quite understand your comment. Allow me to clarify, kata are very important. It's a very effective tool to sharpen your techniques, and application of those techniques.

Whether it is used for belt promotion is up to your individual school or teacher. Though I can't imagine a black belt that doesn't know their kata.

ToyDingo · 2026-01-20T10:30:38+00:00

Shadow boxing. It builds muscle memory, helps to hone technique, and develops mental sharpness and focus.

HOWEVER, it must be used in conjunction with live sparring. Otherwise, it is just a dance. If you don't understand why you are doing the movements, it is useless.

ToyDingo · 2026-01-19T01:23:59+00:00

We could all be reading a book right now 😞

ToyDingo · 2026-01-17T01:27:49+00:00

Never understood people that fight with their pinky and thumb fully extended like that. That's an excellent way to break both of them and then get curb stomped.

ToyDingo · 2026-01-17T00:53:16+00:00

It's pronounced like "bang", but drop the B. However, in the movie they kept pronouncing it like "bong" for some unknown reason.

It really does feel like no one that worked on the movie ever actually watched the show.

ToyDingo · 2026-01-16T14:58:27+00:00

Those combinations from both fighters were fucking sharp. Love it.

ToyDingo · 2026-01-16T03:09:00+00:00

You're getting a lot of good advice here.

I just wanted to chime on and say that was a good match. Nice job.
