At some point while Guilty Gear Strive and Street Fighter 6 were fresh and new and cool, and I somehow deluded myself I'd put a lot of time into This One Hobby, I got myself an all-button controller primarily focused on fighting/arcade games.
The thing with fighting games however is that they update themselves relatively frequently, enough that if something else takes your focus, a new character could drop in and change the meta or whatever and you gotta know what their deal is.
It also doesn't help that my already existing hobbies took so much of my free time I couldn't be bothered with keeping it up for a while.
After I moved and properly put everything into place I figured I could give it a try again. Which I did. And it was mostly practicing how to play Sol Badguy for like 30 minutes and never opened a game again lol.
Now the controller is sitting on my desk, judging me for my lack of commitment. Not even commited to store it away, on the off-chance I get the motivation to be a Gamer Fighter. Until whatever I decide to do, it will sit there, collect dust, and dish out shame.
