"Q&A with Shinobi: Long Live the Night"

"Writing about writing about fighting games"

In this one, I answer some reader questions about the value of writing as a tool for teaching fighting games and communicating game design concepts. Also, I have a rare cat video of one of the outdoor strays.

"On protagonist myths, killing your joy, and why I still compete"

I did another reading video post! Listen to my soothing voice talk about how anime has lied to you while I play through the last bit of Fujiyama Oriental in Neo Turf Masters rather poorly: https://www.patreon.com/posts/on-protagonist-i-159889677/

I caught up with @KayinNasaki about grinding game dev skills, fighting game design hot takes, that Reaction Speeds in Gaming essay, and which game dev posters they'd raid for supplies and map control.

"Tournament season wrapup and offseason projects"

With Combo Breaker over, my tournament season is done, so I wrote about evaluating my performance and thinking about what to work on in the offseason. Using tools to guide the work makes it easier to stay on track.
