Losing it at this tiny tiny disclaimer on the very first screen of YouTube Recap 2025

As other people have said, the correct answer is King from Tekken 3, but here are some contenders imo

This past weekend I participated in @boshis.place 's Game Manual Jam to make a manual for a speculative video game. I'm really pleased with how this came out so I want to talk about it—here's my submission: Old School! (thread!)

One more Halloween costume. TROBBIO!!! 🌪️🌪️🌪️ #Hollowknight #silksong

Happy #silksong day! Here's a picture I drew for Inktober back in 2021

Merry Silksong Eve

Playing an instrument is simply parrying notes.

New blog post! At the intersection of language and... abstract math aaronson.org/blog/square-...

Just hit a new PB in my outfit compliment any% speedrun (guy in my elevator as I was leaving my apartment said my sneakers were cool)

I don't know when playing card layouts were standardized but I had a lot of fun making these which I find to be a lot more pleasing
