Tokon is out this week and CEO is next week. If Summer could slow down a bit that would be awesome, I have too much I need to do before Fall gets here.

I'm getting increasingly close to making Linux my main OS and keeping a Windows partition for games only. I'm so tired of updates making things worse or outright breaking them.

I pretty regularly stumble into powerlifting discussions where people complain about high profile meets regularly having bad stream experiences (or no stream at all!) and I can only laugh at how normal streaming has gotten for fighting game events at literally every scale.

I am fortunate enough to have a pretty overkill PC so Tokon running badly is workable, but getting 40 ping, 8 rollback frame connections because the other machine isn't running at 60 FPS is brutal.
By the Way: 60 Days left to sign up for Mystery. We are currently at 42/64 There won't be a 2nd extension after we hit 64

Current Tōkon thoughts: gameplay is fun, although I think the stage transitions triggering off of throws hurts the pace of gameplay a lot. Training mode could use a frame bar but is otherwise pretty feature rich. Connections have been a mixed bag though.
We need to stop fighting game devs from making overloaded control layouts. Tōkon does not need to be a nine button game 😭
Boot up the Tōkon beta, immediately have a saturated CPU + the game doesn't recognize my leverless. Off to a hot start here, Sony.
Launch Avatar reminds me a whole lot of launch SFV, just with the addition of a massive number of baffling UX decisions.
Last year, we reached this milestone with less than 30 days left to register. Today, we're here with just under 60. There's a lot of hungry anime players out there.

Beach Episode FOMO is fortunately not as bad as normal tournament FOMO since I know CEO is right around the corner.
When I briefly played Valorant I quit because Vanguard caused blue screens on my PC. This was near launch, years ago. It's incredible to me Vanguard is still so bad I would be making the same decision about 2XKO Context: vgk.sys is the Vanguard kernel module, this crash happened at my local
I've gotten four consecutive nights of good sleep, I feel unstoppable.
