@Kat woof,

@maples *gentle little pets* <3

@Kat goodnight kat~

Bed gravity is even stronger when it's cold. ~w~

@maples happy mappy dappy(?),

@linaciari having worked on Neo Geo homebrew has just given me even more respect for it, really; it was definitely ahead of its time in a bunch of ways

@alex RIP freenode

@socks (ref: Davidson, Henry; A Short History of Chess)

@socks and during typing that out I looked it up; original win conditions were in fact "capture the king" or "leave a player with a bare king" (capture everything else)

the persians introduced check/mate to have a warning for a king being captured, and as a result, to prevent games ending suddenly and accidentally

and the bare king rule fell out of vogue somewhere around the 16th century, because it was considered more noble to win by checkmate

@socks given chess has a long and storied history, I wouldn't be surprised if the win condition was originally "capture the king" and it changed over time, presumably because if you were in such a situation you'd just resign anyway

gods Kit, you're precious and lovely, you know that? <3

@elfi It already does! Most of the footage here was captured in MVS mode, even.

After having to work on this quietly for quite a while, I can finally share this with the world:

We're porting Petal Crash to the Neo Geo!
