@diyfgc.bsky.social The first DIY event was absolutely incredible. I hope I captured even a fraction of the love and care the staff put into making it so special. Looking forward to seeing it even bigger and better next year~ Hope everyone enjoys the photos! linktr.ee/mantacore

Been busy catching up with some of my event photos recently but finally got around to @jonyfraze.bsky.social Beatdowns and Beers last week. Amazing weather, with even better company. Cant wait for the next one~ 📸:https://linktr.ee/mantacore

Oh…. Expedition 33 might be the one, absolutely got pulled in literally within the first 5 minutes. The game is shaping up to be fucking incredible

Damn I really just gotta lock in

Absolutely been obsessed with Marathon recently, had to re watch a ton of lore videos on it. A sucker for a good art direction but really really hope the game loop is solid not 100% sold on the extraction shooter approach quite yet

Stopped by the store and I swear this reminded me of a certain character…..

Damn anime really do be back Lazarus AND Gundam this week. Peak is back on the menu

Beatdowns & Beers 03/29 @jonyfraze.bsky.social Probably my favorite NJ FGC event free. Looking forward to seeing everyone again at the next one~ Been busy so it took a bit, but make sure to check the shots out!: 📸: linktr.ee/mantacore
