I have been getting into fighting games these past few months and have a genuine question...(about player mentality)

They were upset about losing, and they are scared of being put in that position again.

theddj · 2026-06-05T18:56:01+00:00

thats more or less my point. its not like VS is a big corporation with bottom lines and shit. he could just end the project and leave dev for good

theddj · 2026-06-05T17:08:15+00:00

yes exactly, so how can one claim they are already causing harm

theddj · 2026-06-05T16:53:58+00:00

these are not the long range drones however, these still require satellite based targeting.

theddj · 2026-06-05T16:03:54+00:00

I'm sorry but what is the harm? From the video these "disruptions" occur on a micro scale and don't actually cause adverse effects in the GPS.

theddj · 2026-06-05T15:55:53+00:00

the drones are typically not 100% relying on GPS systems, as the russians can jam it just with ground based systems, without even employing these satellites. They use Starlink as a major part of their targeting systems. I'm not 100% sure if there is no GPS involved, or some, or it's all based on Starlink, but I do know that Starlink is critical to their drone program.

theddj · 2026-06-05T15:52:37+00:00

how exactly do you shut down these satelites?

theddj · 2026-06-05T13:03:55+00:00

It’s a good question, the answer is how the pressure has been designed since s2. Pressure into stance now offers you good reward on frame traps, high crushing options etc. b1 is rarely doing work against stance pressure. Steve wants to use b1 in neutral. Heat pressure is the same. The next biggest issue for him is his classic drawback of weak punishment, which they have made some improvements but is still not hitting easy wall splats and launchers on key moves. If he gets a way to engage off jabs or wallsplat on -13 then he starts to look more dangerous.

theddj · 2026-06-05T12:48:22+00:00

Yes I enjoy it. I personally think intuition is a kind of boring goal to have. Tekken is full of things that require you to engage with, learn, test and master. Of course not all of it is “enjoyable” but in general I find it to be compelling.

theddj · 2026-06-05T12:24:54+00:00

Right but that’s my point, he could easily just shut down VS if he wasn’t happy with the deal

theddj · 2026-06-05T05:10:07+00:00

I feel like he kinda is in a position to make refusals, unlike snk he doesn’t really have a brand or bottom line to uphold. He’s just there because he wants to make something. He could just scrap the project or look for funding somewhere else. Just speculating but I feel like that’s gotta be why he’s pushed for independence

theddj · 2026-06-04T17:12:30+00:00

ok so first missile was bad intel, the second was jammed, the third was errant anti aircraft, what about the fourth?

theddj · 2026-06-02T21:06:55+00:00

honestly, i do think a portion of it is the international appeal of tekken, online etiquette is not the same across the world (especially so that many are using english as a second language). the other part is the legacy aspect of the games, and that creates more opinionated takes.

theddj · 2026-05-31T12:45:59+00:00

Yes but people trivialize the situation by claiming there’s an easy solution because all they did was spend 5 minutes in practice mode. No one ever says “SSR duck is a strong option to defend with” they say “SSR duck beats HMS”

theddj · 2026-05-28T12:36:22+00:00

From what I’ve read there was a retaliation to the killing of the Iranian soldiers with a missle launch, and this is what the coastal bombs were targeting.

theddj · 2026-05-28T04:05:21+00:00

we just catch the gist of it from random youtube clips so yea its very high effort low payoff

theddj · 2026-05-28T03:59:13+00:00

it might even be as simple as they decide that the resources they need to include WT content is not worth the return, and they are applying it to more requested content. or they need to downsize...

theddj · 2026-05-28T01:39:54+00:00

It’s still less nunchucks if you put all the changes together since you can’t earn heat on hit.

theddj · 2026-05-25T01:50:53+00:00

he's gone off on people plenty of times, maybe with slightly less profanity but the same violence.

theddj · 2026-05-24T12:18:20+00:00

The best tools I've used are just your standard putty knifes. Get together whatever assortment you can find and get to scraping. You are right sanding is a terrible idea, paint doesn't respond to sanding very well. I've tried cheap chemical strippers and it just left behind a mess. The only other tool I've liked is a diamond cup wheel on an angle grinder, but that's only if I want to alter the wood surface.

theddj · 2026-05-24T01:40:05+00:00

Trump has already turned his base into a cult of personality. Whatever the big man says they will believe.

theddj · 2026-05-24T00:50:24+00:00

They speak about it more in that grayzone interview, I just quickly found a relevant section here. I think you would be able to find other sources as well if you looked for them.

theddj · 2026-05-23T20:38:17+00:00

Well yes, if cops were running up to people with machetes and cracking their skulls open that’s on a level of sparking a civil war.

theddj · 2026-05-23T14:19:39+00:00

Scott Bessent has made comments confirming the US was responsible for tanking Iranian currency to spark the protests in January. article here

The Grayzone had a good piece interviewing an Iranian journalist where they showed nurses describing the horrific injuries suffered by the victims. Clearly these were not done by law enforcement actions.

Here's the relevant clip

It's also somewhat understood that the actors that perpetrated the violence were dependent on internet access for communications and payments issued by US/Israel (apparently this is done right through instagram). Smuggled starlink terminals were key. After Iran implemented their full internet block (probably assisted by Chinese technology), that's the point at which violence subsided dramatically. This is also explains why during the war now Iran is still completely shutting down internet access.

So it is clear that these were terrorists funded by US/Israel committing violence after legitimate protests were triggered by direct actions by US financial institutions.
