Shoutouts to the guy I played on Arena last night who spammed “good game” because he thought his life gain deck was unbeatable. Until he realized Yuna wasn’t playing around and he couldn’t kill me before decking out.

Reached 18th Dan today on World. My MA is a mess at higher levels, but it’s cool to see so much progress in just 4 or so weeks. Want to keep pushing!
Welp, new goal unlocked. Furthest I’ve made it so far. If I can make it through that second section I think I can clear
Rough week for my mental health, but the random Magic pack purchase at Target is a good sign my luck is turning around
Teaming up once again with the folks over at @colosseumlive.bsky.social to put on another fun weekend of fighting game fun for charity. Lookinf forward to the show next weekend!

Two new 18 clears today! Not the cleanest runs, but I don't think I could've passed either of these (espeically on the first try) a few weeks ago. Practice is paying off.
After many years of on and off playing (admittedly unfocused) I finally crossed one of my goals off my list: Over the Period ESP cleared! Many thanks to @ambones.bsky.social for the help with getting to this point. It’s just a start, but feels good.
I am very excited for Magic: The Gathering in 2027
Just got out of bed. Not sure if this is depression or my body realizing it hasn't had a break in five years. I'll figure it out after some Wawa.
Spending my Independence Day being dependent on my bed because I’m catching up on all the sleep I lost at Evo Good night
I think it’s clear that my ability to tackle 12/13s is pretty sharp. Want to get this kind of consistency in the 14 - 16 range next while also working on building stamina/endurance to regularly clear 18s. Got work to do after Evo
Def need a bit of a reset once I get out of Evo. Haven't been too kind to myself in the lead up to the event and I'm feeling it. Hopefully will get to have some good times this weekend to counter that, tho.
Been quietly grinding DDR when I can using @life4ddrbot.bsky.social for progress. My stamina isn’t what it used to be, so I’ll be pushing myself harder post Evo.
What do you mean Utada Hikaru had a track on the Rush Hour 2 soundtrack? youtu.be/e-hAiYFY_is?...

Pulling a $200+ card and then going 2-0-1 in my first SOS paper draft has me feeling great today Will gladly take those W's
I haven’t played DDR or in-person Magic in like 3 weeks. I’m fiending
Learning UNI2 has been a pretty humbling experience. I'm probably putting too much pressure on myself to perform adequately, but it's been fun sitting down with a game and seeing myself learn in real time. I dunno if Ill keep playing (the combos are SO long), but I think I needed this experience
Haven’t been able to play DDR since Japan and was feeling down about my level of play there. Played a quick game recently to see where I currently stand. PFC on Jam & Marmalade. Turns out when I actually get some sleep I perform better. Who knew?
Life is moving too fast lately and I’ve been a bit scattered. Privileged to live how I do, but I’ve def put a ton of miles on my body and mind these past few years. I’m someone that wants to give 100% in everything he does, but I stretch myself too thin too often. Need to focus on my needs more
People die, and Esteban dances. Gotta work off the highballs from last night
Trying to play DDR while still a bit jet lagged is something else. But showing up is what’s most important
