Interesting discussion about the state of the game and tidbits with the developers. I like how the director basically tells people to play the game and form your own opinion and stop parroting stuff you hear online lol (@ around 4:20) They also briefly talk about the 3v3 mode at around 9:10
Starting guide dropped
A.B.A coming March 26, along with Millia's new move. From the stream, it sounds like there won't be a balance patch with the update, just the character and new move. Anyways ABA looking kinda sick

Yeah especially after trying SF6 and Granblue, the lack of frame data is noticeable. Maybe that's what they're going to add to make the game feel less complex lol.
The post makes it sound like the new mechanics & new moves are what's making the game more complex, since it's adding more options. No idea what they plan to do to though.
* Further confirmation that 3v3 means 3 players * Next character update add a new special move for 1 character from the initial roster * "For future updates in 2024, we intend to address what makes players feel the game is too complex..."
Figured I'd share this here, if you're having trouble trying to 6P it. TL;DW: Air grab

I mean, they're still around. The reduced burst gain for positive bonus seems good, though I'm not good enough to notice and I've just been playing against Elphelts spamming the rekka mixup anyways lol
Elphelt is out. Axl and Pot got new moves. Wild Assault Changes. Minor nerfs and buffs.

Are you using wayland? As far as I'm aware X11 can't handle different refresh rates for different monitors so it defaults to the lower one.

It looks like 1/4 of the games were released in the last 2 months(ish) lol:
-Baldur's Gate 3
-Dave the Diver
-Armored Core 6
-Holocure
-Remnant 2
If I'm counting it right, half of the games were released in the last 2 years
quick wall to wall from cgm this is now a testament discussion forum

I tried to do the new mid-air teleport mixup and still got read like a book so never again.
It's actually pretty fun so far; I haven't played much yet and I'm not the type to lab new combos but the most notable change for me was wild assault. It's been fun to use and I feel like everyone has a wall-to-wall combo now lol.
The arbiter changes felt a little underwhelming, is it mainly used with RC and wild assault for combos? It felt to me like it mainly gives a little better corner pressure. I'm not complaining though, and again I haven't really spent much time on it.
I'm looking forward to seeing all the nasty stuff people come up with.

Yeah I'm especially curious about the different types of Wild Assault; gotta see it in action. Testament also got some interesting changes so I'm interested in how this patch affects their game plan overall.

Yeah I more or less figured out the changes to delineate the 50% line, but I wasn't sure about the blue fire on top. If you look at the intensity of the flame at 2:25 vs. 2:30, you can see a difference even though they both look like full burst bars.
I know they made comments about changing/enhancing regular bursts so I was wondering if it had to do with that but I'm not sure.
Mist Finer + the card seems to work basically how people thought it would. There seems to be something interesting going on with the burst meter as well.
There's not much new info but there are a couple of interesting tidbits. Johnny uses cards, and if you hit the cards with mist finer you get an additional hit (you can see this in the announcement trailer). Apparently they changed how you will gain burst meter? And the regular burst will also be enhanced. The other characters will get new moves "throughout the season 3 updates" Faust is storing an item with his new move.

I never played Xrd so I'm a little ignorant but he looks sick. Looking forward to the character guide to shed some light on how he actually plays.

So the video said they're giving new specials to 6 characters, and they showed 4. Wonder what the other 2 are. It also said the specials for other characters are coming later, which I hope is not too long from now or the balance may be a little weird.
The offense and defense options look cool too, it'll be interesting to see how they get used.

Pop just recently updated too, to Linux 6.4.6 and Mesa 23.1.3
No breaking news or anything but it's a fun interview where they look back on the Guilty Gear franchise.

a DeCanonicalled Ubuntu with extensions
You say that like it's a bad thing. Flatpak and no snaps by default is pretty decent
They ship a year old desktop
Wait until you hear what Linux Mint uses lol. Also, it's no rolling release but they do keep packages and the kernel up to date

Legumes in general. Money's tight and I've been eating a lot of lentil stews and black bean soups. Cheap, healthy, super filling, and pretty tasty.

I'd personally love a nice router. Something like a cheaper configuration of the meerkat with stripped down ports and 2+ ethernet ports, but maybe that's too niche of a product.

So far, it actually looks ok? I think the most jarring part for me was when he said gum-gum instead of gomu gomu. And maybe I just haven't been keeping up but it's coming out a lot sooner than I thought it would.

The kbin pop_os magazine seems to also be modded by an official mod/employee of system76. I guess they were still testing the waters and for now it seems they decided on lemmy.world. Interestingly there's also kbin.social/m/System76 with no lemmy.world alternative.
Like you said, things will probably be messy for a bit as everyone settles.
