it blows my mind that so many ppl are finding melee these days In my head a bunch of the entry funnel stuff hasn't been as large, which makes me wonder how people are finding it? I have a feeling its a post-covid lack of 3rd places & ppl out of college / moving around looking for community

while social media narratives seem to be driven by top players and figureheads bemoaning the decline of majors, the reality for most is that local/weekly Melee has never been better

graph of tournaments, entrants, and unique entrants per month. tournaments are currently double 2019 numbers, entrants are currently up about 50% over 2019 numbers, and unique entrants are up slightly over 2019 numbers

Congrats to Moburu for winning Melee at Recess this month! Thanks to everyone who came out and special thanks to @slimy.level1.tv for TOing with me! VODs, replays and photos are in the Recess discord. Next bracket will be on December 21st! See you there 🎄

200 days ago, i switched to marth and started playing + practicing melee every day again for the first time in years 100 days ago, i wondered how much further i could go in another hundred days today, i bring you this 🎬

Wow — New poll shows Andrew Cuomo's 1-on-1 lead against Zohran Mamdani has shrunk to *just 2 points* 51-49. And this poll was conducted *before* AOC endorsed Mamdani. + Cuomo's lead against Mamdani in the first round of ranked choice voting is now only 7 points.

Poll showing Cuomo beating Mamdani by only two points.

Slippi Nintendont 1.13.0 is a must-update for TOs and players alike, finally enabling true and reliable power-on + walk-away autobooting. Changes include: - Fix black screen freeze on boot - Boot hotswap without USB drive - Optionally disable Freeze Glitch - Fix booting from USB dl + details ⬇️

There are a million things to be outraged about right now (this is by design). My number one is, trans people don’t have the numbers to defend themselves from all the ways these people are trying to strip them of their humanity. Feels like a “first they came for (x) and I did not speak out” moment

Releasing our S10 PR! Shoutouts to all the dope players who made it (and the lame ones ig too 😇) Reply thread will have all the individual player cards and blurbs, be sure to give a look! We had community members write some honestly crazy good pieces, please check them out!

Alright all - I'm stepping away for this evening. I'll be back in later tonight to see if there's any more updates. Stay safe, if you're trans, stay with us, we are not giving up. And most of all... these EOs are not law, they are not passed by congress, do NOT comply.
