If you see me complaining about current FGC and don't know me, know that I'm not judging from the outside. I've: Won hundreds of tournaments Ran hundreds of locals Commentated FGs professionally for years (including a bunch of EVOs) Won and Top 8'd majors Worked production on TONS of big FGC shows

Offkai was depressing as hell man, everyone was having a great time and I didn't interact with a single person all weekend rofl. At least the Densetsu concert was the most amazing show I've ever been to. Worth it for that alone.

I'll be at Offkai Day 1, the Himehina concert, and then the Legends Anew Densetsu.exe concerts today! Legends Anew being at the start of the weekend is wild, I'm gonna use all my energy on that (without regret)

The Mike Z Avatar thing was the ultimate litmus test of: "How small of an inconvenience would stop you from doing the morally correct thing?" The game isn't released yet, you could still refund preorders, nobody has put thousands of hours into the game, etc. It'd be so easy to just not play it.

I really wish I wasn't so against playing SNK games, because Duck King is one of my favorite characters, and I was actually asking for him in a game again 10 years ago lol KOF 11 was one of my first fighting games ever and he was my first main, haha. RIP

Pokemon announced that UNITE isn't gonna be on the competitive circuit next year, that's a loooot of my work, plus I just really love casting Pokémon events. Very tired of the games I cast dying...

If yall want to know one example of why I absolutely don't fuck with socal FGC locals any more, someone I've been friends with at locals for FIFTEEN years recently replied to a Technicals post about me saying "I never knew that guy was such a pussy." LOL

I know I do say it all the time, but Arknights is seriously the best game I've ever played with possibly the best devs I've ever seen. It's made by people who just absolutely love games, and music, and all kinds of art. They put in so much effort for the love of the game alone.

The way that Arknights has world equivalents to so many real life regions, and then does so many stories with so many characters from each one is genuinely the coolest thing ever. Hearing so many accents and seeing character designs from all over makes it such a living world.

Sorry I know I complain about what's happening on Twitter a lot, but there's this weird thing happening where off the back of FG difficulty discussion, the wider FGC is all agreeing that frame data isn't important, but this is literally one of the most important and basic aspects of FGs right?

Hate to say it, but Mike Z has definitely won in the court of public opinion. Got sooo many big names in the FGC fighting to defend him now just because Avatar was well received. FGC is so morally cooked rofl, let's just all go to EVO and EWC to play games from a Saudi Prince and Mike Z rofl.
