Havent had much reason to be on bluesky in the past year, but figured I should post this somewhere After Michigan's 2026 Arcadian, I've worked on a writeup about waterfall and how its evolved in the Melee community in the past 9 years and what to do next mimeleecoin.wordpress.com/2026/05/11/e...

Prob missing Unranked. Wanted to go cause its gonna be the biggest DE -> DE Waterfall event yet, but can't justify the cost or hassle of travel at this time. Wishing nothing but good luck to Unsure & co, really wish things lined up better for me to be there but o well. Hoping theres more to come

I have no fucking idea what I wanna do with melee anymore

Happy pride month Such a fucked time and I'm still letting fear dictate a lot of my life, but despite rhetoric and policy, I still believe those at Stonewall, before, and in the years since displayed far greater resilience to learn from. Forever grateful for the progress they've made possible

Probably makes me some flavor of lame, but I'm pretty hurt with how comfortable the scenes gotten with joking around telling each other to kill themselves, let alone in semi public settings

Took part in a gamejam with jessie and fancy :) 1st time using godot too! Was great to have an actual artist + someone to tag team with (esp on UI cause i hate it 💀) Very taxing to do coding sprints after work but watching my bf get hooked instantly made it worth videojams.itch.io/spore-survivor

Finally posted two games I made in college on itchio just to have them somewhere coinspike.itch.io Still working on my passion project and may be partaking in gamejams soon with a few melee homies Graduated + going from intern to full-time tomorrow but trying to stay involved with game dev lol

I want the MI Melee oldheads to know Charlie Harper made an attempt on my life buying me Nubby's Number Factory while I'm going through SSRI withdrawals and getting disoriented every time serotonin from stimulation hits

The triples April Fools ranking just makes me sad there probably won't be another triples bracket at a regional unless PGH does it again :( Was never joking about it being my favorite lol

In collaboration with @meleestatspod.bsky.social , PGH Smash is proud to present: SSBMRank - Triples See link below for the ranking complete with images, blurbs, and more! meleestats.co/ssbm-rank-tr...

Smoking that shit that made Andrew a baron

It was single elim, had Corneria and Kj64, and I had to DQ out of my last pools set to partake, but Fight Pitt 10 Arcadian Triples was the largest triples bracket yet and I won with Saucymain and iphone :3 Dropped multiple games because those 2 could not stop making me laugh, was so fun. Ggs :]

Why is Ohio built like an Early Access on Steam game WHY HAVE I BEEN TO THE EXACT SAME REST STOP BUILDING EVERY 90 MINUTES

I have been offered a full time job by the company I intern for with a pretty competitive offer Idk how I l've gotten so lucky to avoid having to interact with the job market after graduation but I am unbelievably grateful Also means I'm prob staying in the AA area for the indefinite future

2024 was objectively good and full of progress but I feel ripped to shreds by fear of the future Considering writing another journal about my year like I did for 2023 but it feels self indulgent

I feel so lucky to be able to wake up to this every day

My Steam review is pretty much exactly what I expected and reflects my mental state, which is that I adore games as generative shared experiences but people on the internet are kind of disgusting so I've steadily been reclusing into infinitely replayable coop stuff instead lol

BODIED 11 Thoughts mimeleecoin.wordpress.com/2024/12/14/b...

Company I intern for indicated they might actually want to hire me full time when I graduate Oooooooo lord one more thing to anxiously await an answer to and pine for every day

Extremely thankful for my bf helping me process some of the craziest emotions of my life Think I've been really nasty towards people the past couple days and I'm tremendously sorry I've been in such a rush to escape discomfort 😮‍💨 Definitely feels like a part of me has died, time to grow up a bit

Cried while hugging Zach goodbye tonight Very scared I'm doing the right thing for myself and for the community, if things will ever be as beautiful and meaningful as this despite what I really want to do and accomplish Lot of dissonant feelings relying on hopes rather than deep trusts

This mod is legit so fucking fun, so happy to see it come more to light Also happy to currently to hold what i think is the record for hosting the biggest triples bracket yet, and if someone makes an attempt on more than 18 teams I will try to be there 🤙

The Throat GOAT himself (swallowed an entire toy that blocked his entire digestive tract, needed a $5k surgery, and is now high as fuck)

I'm not sure how much longer I can do the "living two lives" thing, think I'm beginning to fall apart at work lol 🙃

I should be excited for how crazy this BODIED is but the fact that I'm not is probably a sign I made the right call Hoping it beats my attendance record and that I also don't fail my hell class and I also don't get into shit at my works christmas meeting and then maybe thisll be worth it

Casper is mad at me because I keep stealing his oreo's creme fillings

Regarding BODIED mimeleecoin.wordpress.com/2024/11/14/r...

Took a gummy and started talking like an Age of Empires villager while doing chores

Am thinking I might be pausing hosting events after this year, unfortunately a lot of parallels with why I havent wanted to compete either Kind of want to lean more into being a waterfall consultant and just helping people run their brackets but idk how opportune that'll be especially locally :/

Real progress being made after a year (I have shrunk one (1) shoe size)

Wasn't the biggest fan of the design of BODIED 10 but we ran it as pristine as we could and for that I'm proud. Not super likely we'll get a chance to run one at Dearborn again but we were wanting to do this for awhile so I'm happy it happened BODIED 11 may or may not be the last on Dec 7

Fighting demons rn trying to decide if this BODIED could realistically be all bo5 or if it's too risky ROFL

Beyond melee and the uninteresting bores of working student life, I've been hosting weekly co-op Risk of Rain 2 Eclipse sessions and like coding games of my own that I may show here from time to time. I also really like writing but feel that I need to be prompted for it (mimeleecoin.wordpress.com)

As a summary, my current focuses in melee have been: * Upkeeping BODIED (my "thesis" for an ideal event structure) * Helping with Ann Arbor weeklies * Consultation for waterfall events * Playtesting triples mod * Investigating memory card hack stages for triples + possibly doubles and singles

New handle c: tysm @eddie.michiganmelee.com !! I'd love to start more community discussion here, unfortunately it's been a very busy semester for me and it's draining the creative juices. I hope the latest boom lasts long enough for me to get a chance to help this last

Obscura was fun, mystery game is torture to me ROFL but I'm very proud of matt Tumblestone and Chessplosion were genuinely fun games i got introduced to though. I also was rolled into a game that I played with my very close friend a decade ago before he passed, hit me in the feels big time
