I think my Day 6 Combotober entry got flagged and isn't showing up in notifications. In retrospect I probably shouldn't have made it Mortal Kombat because of its tendency to get blacklisted on the algorithm. My bad everyone.

Hit the labs and take on the #COMBOTOBER Challenge! One combo for each day of the month of October, how many can you do?
Don't worry if you don't have every game, don't worry about getting the prompt wording exactly, don't even worry if your combos aren't that good! This is about having fun and enjoying fighting games!

I apologize for the previous post. I had no idea it was AI. Can't even look for a picture of a mustache without the robots trying to butt in. Fuck AI.

The Forgiveness Arc of Salvatore Ganacci has been *astonishing* to me. I've never seen anyone who was met with so much derision on reveal, only to gracefully win back all that lost good will in a matter of days.

If anything, let's appreciate Mr. Ganacci for being such a good sport about this.

I'm back and I got the milk. I sure hope fighting games didn't suddenly get *weird* while I was out.

As an aside, I'm aware that some people are hearing issues with my voice recording audio. I have been working on this video on and off since January, and I've determined that I literally cannot hear them, but I've been using this time to troubleshoot the problems. I have new equipment now, but some of this has been recorded before that point, so some of it is gonna be scuffed. I apologize, but hopefully new videos from here on out will have better quality.

We're starting fresh for the new year. But before we do, I've gotta clear up some allegations.

Hey guys, ABI here. It’s been a little quiet on the channel. I wish I had a good reason for it, like I was working on an exciting secret project or something, but I don’t really. Can’t even say I’m busy at my day job because I’m kinda not. The truth is that I’ve just been anxious and tired and dragging my feet all year long because I’m just not sure what to write anymore and that makes me anxious. One of the weird parts about being a video game content creator is that I just do not have time to play video games, which means I don’t really get many chances to broaden my horizons and experience new perspectives on the landscape of gaming, and with no new perspectives I don’t have any interesting things to say.

But I digress; you’re not here to hear me winge on about my personal issues, you’re here for content. So here’s what I’ve got planned for 2024: Style Select is coming back, as I have far too many ideas in that bucket that I refuse to let go unproduced. Every now and then I’d like to revisit the Weird Mechanics shorts; those are easy and fast to make and as far as I can tell you’ve all been having fun with them. I have also been spending a lot of time in 2023 playing various new tabletop games; I know our normal viewership probably doesn’t care about tabletop RPGs, but they’re a large part of my life and are also responsible for some of my reflections on the nature of games, so you’ll be hearing about them one way or another; maybe there’ll even be new installments of Tabletop Legends. Don’t worry, I’ll try to make it interesting. I’m also always on the lookout for new indie fighting games to feature on New Challenger, and I’ve got at least one game that is going to tie all of this together.

All in all I’ve spent most of 2023 hibernating and I think it’s time we kick off a new year for SugarPunch. I don’t really believe in resolutions or anything like that; a new year is just the planet continuing its rotation, no different than any other day. But perhaps if 2023 is ending, then it’s time to leave some things behind. Hesitation, anxiety, fear, I think I’m okay going forward without those. If there’s anything I want from myself in 2024, it’s to be unafraid to say the things I want to say. I hope you’ll still be here with us.
