Too many cool games announced in the last 72 hours for me to even think about and oh god what's that it's NINTENDO FROM THE TOP ROPE WITH A STEEL CHAIR

Probably gonna stream some more KI tonight, would love to run sets with and teach newer players! #PlayKI

Local next weekend, no more sfv for now unfortunately but instead we got Killer Instinct www.start.gg/tournament/t...

Hisako VS General RAAM - I was hired to create this piece for the upcoming KI charity tournament at EVO 2026. I'm honored and grateful to have been trusted w/ the task of providing artwork for the tournament and all for a great cause (supporting Gamers Outreach) #PlayKI

Got sick of the ridiculous prices for and lack of variety of flavored cream cheese at the grocery store, so I started making my own. Garlic and herb and chipotle bacon

That was a really nice return stream. Gonna be hopefully doing more of these, and with more variety. See you then.

This 93 year old gamer still streams the old fashioned way (Playing some KI, come watch!) www.twitch.tv/ovis_

I am realizing that I am especially not built for small business IT. There's so much drama, doubly so when it's a family-owned business. I unironically miss being able to defer to HR when bosses started feuding with their employees' data and work habits. Now I basically am their HR and I wanna die.

The worst part of this divorce is getting demoted from "straight male partner of a bisexual woman" to "standard ally" for pride month. Was fun while it lasted 😔

Put Brian from Quest 64 in Smash Remix

I've cracked it: this is a device for watching old 4:3 anime.

Happy Pride Month Xbox

What in the Looney Tunes Wile E. Coyote ass bullshit is this game (affectionately)

Big vouch for the mystery team at BeachEp, they always put together some incredible lineups. If you're going to this and you're not already entered in mystery you're missing out.

I have learned that the version of iPadOS on it is new enough that I can do the thing with my MacBook where I transfer keyboard and mouse inputs to the iPad. Why or how this is of any use to me? Still unclear.

I took some great photos at Combo Breaker over the weekend, and I also took this. #CB2026 #NoCoastNoKings #IGOTTAPISS

"What are you even going to do with a 1st gen iPad Pro?" I can't say I really know but when someone plops a near pristine piece of mid-2010s tech in my lap and says "here, go nuts" I've gotta at least try something

Saw Killer Instinct over the weekend at Combo Breaker and want to play? This weekly tournament series is amazing for beginner to intermediate players. Commentary is also great at giving feedback. Come out and join in! #PlayKI

Yeah alright, I think that's a wrap for me and SF6. I spent too long waiting for the game to either change into something I might enjoy more, or to try to force matches to be played the way I want, and that's clearly never going to happen if Capcom is out here unironically buffing throws AGAIN.

To the owner of the very tiny Mega Man pin that I found on the floor of the Schaumburg ballroom during teardown, wherever you may be: I'm sorry for your loss, but please know he found a good home.

Turns out microwalk 2MK after warrior back throw lets you get an ambiguous cross-up with a pip. Fun little discovery. #PlayKI

This is really small and dumb and it's gonna make me sound like my ego is enormous but also during the staff raffle when my name got called I got so fucking amped when other people started cheering that it made me adrenaline burst into a full sprint up there. Before that point I felt dead tired.

I need to get the fuck out of tech asap. I don't want to be fixing computers while someone tells me how chatgpt told them to do it for the rest of my life. If you or someone you know is trying to hire a guy who knows how to work events, please please please let me know.

here, take this tiny clodsire

Realized today that the deskside shelf I got from Ikea a year ago is actually the perfect size for my PC on one shelf, and audio interface/external drive bays on another.

got a ring light in the staff raffle so now I'm futzing around with my silly little green screen for a stream I'll probably never run

On to the next

I mentioned this to a few people at the event but a highlight of CB for me was when I sat down to play the Combo Devils demo, picked Achilles, and ancient muscle memory reawakened in my body. I did a Melee moonwalk input entirely by accident and that shit just worked. Jaw on floor moment for me.

Just about 100k steps since Wednesday

Sadly all good things must come to an end. Gaming Gen is tearing us down before SF6 finals. Proud of you all for hanging tough until then.

It's 7pm, Tekken top 8 is almost done, and SIX KI SETUPS are still in full use I love this community so much #PlayKI

All weekend at Combo Breaker I have been occasionally hearing a high pitched metallic whine/scraping sound over the venue speakers and it sounds almost exactly like the sound effect in Hollow Knight when there's an item nearby. Please tell me someone else is hearing it too and I'm not crazy

If you are at Combo Breaker and you see a sign that says WHEEL, you should fuck around and find out

You never go full Perfect Legend

A reminder to those who wish to pay their respects this year

Let's get to work

Throwback to the time I broke KI at CB 2023 #PlayKI

god I forgot how fun and funny this game is sometimes #PlayKI

"This software lets you scan directly to the cloud! No PC needed*!" *Windows Server needed

No no, scratchy throat, you're not allowed to be here right now. Go away.

can't wait to return to the dashcon venue this weekend

"Nice! You're staying active" my watch happily chirps at me with an encouraging buzz as I shamble to the fridge for my third Creamy Coconut Dr. Pepper of the afternoon

AYO?

This is now the third year in a row that I will be forced to play in my Mystery pool and run KI top 8 at the same god damn time, kill me

Sometimes I wonder to what extent neurodivergent people's frustration with neurotypical people is simply an accurate read that they just have really bad communication skills and not that there's some "secret unspoken neurotypical code of conduct"
