It does make socializing easier for a lot of people, being happy-drunk genuinely feels good, and a lot of people use “im drunk lol” as an excuse to flirt.

I had an “Incredible Hulk” last night which is Hennessy and some blue drink i forget the name of mixed together. Called so because it turns green. Shit was strong ass hell too.
Just a social thing people do. It lowers inhibitions so i guess the idea is it makes you relax. People don’t change when drunk they become more honest, for better or worse.

Wish we had the insightful button back
Ah well, as an anti-social loser I guess I’ll be sober the rest of my life~
Drinking is one of those things where if you think about “whether it’s worth it” you already think too much as it is. It’s something that loosens you up after long hours at work or gets the anxiety away when going to a party full of new people. If you’re not already into that then yeah, you won’t see any reason to do it.

It is Hennessy and Hypnotic. I haven’t had that in ages. The one time I did, I ended up on the dance floor with women at the same time at the company Christmas party. Maybe I should have more of that shit

Coca cola after drinking wine really is some good shit. Didn’t lose my reflexes on the second glass of wine as usual. That’s pretty cool.
On the other hand, summer ain’t cool. At all.
So a Wine Birdie can do a raw VT1 and beat Sagat’s reactive EX Tiger Knee LOL and even though G is a cheap bitch I somehow made a Diamond ragequit after VR his VT1 activation to keep his busted ass in the corner.
And it seems Ryu’s lk Donkey Kick is OP and needs to be fixed, pretty surue I whiff punished this Ryu’s Planetplex with it. I can’t play anymore because my hands are getting slippery.
Didn’t got any more drunk yesterday as I settled on a lighter beer later but had to go to the church this morning hopefully for the last time of the year. Seriously, arranging a meeting on early January 1st is high order sadism.
Oof. Might as well make a nye party so at least people celebrate there instead.
No I agree that 3/5 is better.
At the same time though, it’s not better if you play a lower tier character or are less skilled.
The chances of me or you beating tokido in a FT2 is probably like 5%
The chances of me or you beating tokido in a FT3 is probably 0%
Same with if you’ve got a bad match. Your chances of winning a major with a low tier character basically evaporate in a FT3 format.

A lot of japanese tournaments in old games have ft1 (or team formats) to make the low tier characters more viable. You’re not beating a good 3S Chun with Hugo in an ft3, you might in an ft1.
In better balanced games, or games where variance isn’t all that high, ft3 is just superior overall. Shorter sets make upsets a bit more likely, which IS an argument for it. Plus, it emphasizes rapid adaptation as an important skill.
The most important argument for ft2 is time usage though, if you go from ft2 to ft3 in a 100+ man tournament, you’re using a LOT more time overall.

Falke can definitely tilt people off if you play her well, she can deny jump ins and dash spamming so easily lol

Yeah it kinda goes without saying. You’re not supposed to be playing bad characters at a high profile event (unless your intent is to not get 1st place). You’re also SOL if you’re way below the best players at a high profile event.
Most all majors have 3/5 for winners/losers/grand so eventually you will be thrown into a 3/5 if you somehow made it close to GF with Ryu, Sakura or Alex.
How out of shape do you have to be to be completely winded after only running for 2 minutes
Guess fighting games aren’t the only thing I have a long road ahead of me on
I swear this game makes me really irritable. Even something as simple as a text or someone trying to talk to me while i play makes me irrationally angry.
Edit: Sometimes I wonder if this game is good for my mental health lol.

Depends on running sprint. If you’re going full sprint, it really feels like you’re dying.
It gets better relatively quick tho, so the road isn’t that long.

Teabag to release.
Finally finished MKX’s story last night. I gotta say, it was really good. As someone who’s been outta the loop when it comes to the MK world, this story did a great job in roping me back in.
Now I need to complete various other story modes that I’ve neglected for so long.

That can all be replaced by living a healthy, balanced lifestyle. The only reason why people need to loosen up in the first place is that the brain and body is effed because of poor exercise, diet, sleep, emotional numbness due to poorly functioning prefrontal cortex, and a bunch of other problems. And alcohol only opens you up temporarily but makes these problems worse in the long run. Its like the temporary good feel you get from hardcore drugs.
