Update: figured it out after jumping through 30 bajillion hoops. Had to download missing dependencies, create a config file run a 'make' command in the correct directory, change my L-joystick input curve, & correct Steam Input's bug where they swapped the B and X inputs. But we got there eventually!

i have nothing but respect and appreciation for the mid-mich melee community for being so kind and welcoming to me when i first got started over a year ago(!!) at this point. It's been a pleasure getting to know you all, learning more about the game, and improving since then. Thank you all!

CMPG is back for the semester! Melee every Tuesday at 6:45! www.start.gg/tournament/c...

In April 2024, Spotify implemented a new scheme: songs with less than 1k streams per year would no longer receive royalties. The data for 2025 was just released via Luminate, and 88% of songs have been demonetized. Read it again: 88% of songs on Spotify have been demonetized.

Got Slippi up and running (with overclocked GCN adapter!) on my home linux PC after making the jump from Win11. Tedious, but got there in the end. RoA2, on the other hand, has been giving me nothing but problems. Swapping button inputs, not working in adapter's WiiU mode, and just feels sluggish.

No longer shackled by Destiny 2 since I haven't played since August or so. With all the shit happening with Windows 11... It's time.

I had this big long semi-rant prepared earlier today about my thoughts on the R0A2 wrkshp but i didnt get back around to post it until several hours later and the draft never saved. Not typing all that out again lol

OFFSTAGE is back in Midland February 7th! www.start.gg/tournament/o...

10年くらい前！？やばすぎる

Did a redraw of my drawing of henry from fire emblem awakening! 2026 -> 2022 -> 2013

Happy New Years All! A new Mystery Skulls Album came out recently, Maximum Joy! Check it out here on Bandcamp in the link below! mysteryskulls.bandcamp.com/album/maximu...

My primary new year's resolution is to be more active in the communities that I join. I have a habit of joining stuff like discord servers, never saying anything and never leaving, so I'd like to actually have a presence instead of being just another lurker.

Ringing in 2026 with a wonderful #NewProfilePic courtesy of @floralsprout.bsky.social! They made many, if not all, of my profile pictures for the last couple years, and they are one of the kindest people that I know. Happy new year, and thank you so much once again!!

Happy new year!

New weekly starting up in Bad Axe! Jan. 3rd www.start.gg/tournament/f...

Attempted my first Pokemon TCG trade-up in a local store....emphasis on "attempted." Every card I tried to sell was completely rejected for either "bad condition" (i.e. a singular, tiny white spot on the card's back) or because its value dropped $1 or more in the last week. Seriously?

Throwback

Get off Twitter. And destroy AI.

I think I finally got my home server up and running. Now I can make an official backup of my PC and offload a bunch of bloat files that I don't actually need stored on my SSD. I might also make the full transition to a Linux distro on my main PC now that I don't really play Destiny 2 anymore.

As a long-time Firefox user I am absolutely disgusted by this. Used to sing nothing but praises for this browser....now I need recommendations on what to swap to that ISN'T shoehorning fuck-ass AI into their core structure to rot from the inside.

we can kill them all if we just work together and ✨believe💫

Experimental Post: Crump's Snack In a battle in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, Lord Crump runs backstage to seemingly eat a snack of 5 unseen items. I speculate on what his meal could have been, based on the amount of HP he recovered.

AI has actively made life worse for literally everyone - tech is now more expensive - you cannot trust most media of reality anymore - programs barely function - energy prices - literal psychosis - your voice can be literally stolen for evil - more spyware but hey, you can avoid paying an artist.

Rivals of Aether II is EVO Mainstage next year! WE DID IT!

New worst mishearing of my name just dropped at the campus coffee place Louie. Fucking LOUIE??? They didnt even ask me to repeat my name and it definitely was NOT loud in there. Im flabbergasted.

Recent commissions I just finished for @wavetossedrose.bsky.social !! 🐰❄️💎 Thank you for your support!!

firefox AI and slop disablers from tumblr for the people from local hero mckitterick. Tried it on my end and the browser is significantly faster now (copy paste-able in the alt text)

Oh! And the background is fully painted if you’d like a better view.

Football game at the family's house is absolutely LITTERED with trash AI ads. I don't even like football. Im actually in hell huh.

Gmail users!! They've turned on AI scraping by default now...Here's how to turn it off. Pass it on!! www.malwarebytes.com/blog/news/20...

my hot take regarding recent announcements is that mythical pokemon do not need and should not have mega evolutions. While not the subject of the announcement, yes, this opinion also includes my boy Keldeo.

You're cool, but are you "writing your master thesis for music theory on Pokemon Mystery Dungeon" cool? libres.uncg.edu/ir/uncg/f/Ro...

when will the lesson finally get learned? #cloudflare

Pokémon Mystery Dungeon turns 20 years old today! A series that has touched mine, and many others lives. When Red & Blue Rescue Team came out, it was apparently a major reason why Chunsoft at the time didn't go financially under.

So here's a fun thing that happened today. I was sitting in the middle of a big meeting for tech support (aka doing nothing bc the tech was fine) and I had a horrific daydream about throwing up blood out of nowhere. Shit was wild. Probably not normal thoughts to have. Not sure what came over me

It's a miracle that a Banjo could ever get into top 8 of any major Ult tournament, so I was excited to watch. But then came that fucker guy. Steven Minecraft.

This is last minute bc i keep forgetting i have this but, will be streaming r.e.p.o tonight with friends at 6 pm et!! soon!! hope you can drop by! www.twitch.tv/floralsprout

Any website or application that does not inherently have a dark/light mode toggle should be classified as a crime against humanity

First run back in quite a while. Might not be on Monsoon difficulty......but I still got it! #RiskOfRain2

update on this: fleshed out my feed & followed a bunch of accounts on the alt and genuinely have not been so happy to open up social media since classic tcth twitter era. The last five days have been fantastic, a sorely needed palette cleanser.

Think im gonna spend time away from my main acct (discord & bsky) and focus on my alt. I dont have a timeframe, I'll still be in touch, and I'm okay, I just need a little joy from The Other Side to fill my dopamine tank.

Going to start greeting new people by saying "cheesed to meet you" and taking a tally of who laughs vs pity/forced laughs vs cringes at me.

Super Smash Bros. contains a sneaky "delayed action" anti-piracy measure to lull the illegitimate user into a false sense of security. The game will be normal the first 68 times it is launched. Starting with the 69th time, however, every selected character will turn into Mario.

Throwing my Pokemon LF/FT spreadsheet here for anyone interested in any breedjects from shiny hunts I did in the past (Most done in Gens 6-8). Currently, I'm on the hunt for a Love Ball Cetoddle with hidden ability. Feel free to DM or tag me! #Pokemon #PokemonTrades docs.google.com/spreadsheets...
