Competing in a duos #2XKO bracket was a ton of fun! Thanks to @akitofgc.bsky.social for organizing the Madison Legends local this week at @isthmiangaming.bsky.social Gotta hit the lab more to work on some disgusting setups 🤫

Best thing I could've woken up to. Can't wait to play some #Tokon today

Collaborating with @isthmiangaming.bsky.social to bring a special event! Join us for a tournament featuring League of Legends Arena and @2xko.riotgames.com! Sign ups at the door! Singles and a duos tournament! Wednesday 9/10/25!

Before anyone says "But the FGC needs big money to survive" Fuck off The FGC can exist anywhere with any resource. We'll run Top 8s in a bathroom. The FGC wasn't born in stadiums, it was born in laundromats and our buddy Ted's basement on weekends. It's always been a grassroots collection of friends

For a long time I felt that the FGC was doing a good job of incorporating esports in our own way without losing too much of ourselves. But in more recent years, well, you see the news today. A major chunk of FGC esports has in significant ways become something else for someone else

My tenth Evo, in the books. Lead my biggest photo team to date. Watched the Invincible VS trailer I helped create debut on the Evo main stage. Captured MenaRD taking his long-sought Evo win. gallery.rmpaul.com/Esports/Evo-...

Really honored to be a part of #Evo2025! Huge thanks to all of the @evo.gg staff and crew for the monumental task of putting on the world's best fighting game tournament! It was really awesome seeing my name up in the credits. I love being part of the FGC ❤️

Finished the #2xko stamp rally and got some neat prizes, but they were out of the hoodies 😔 @2xko.riotgames.com Any way you could hook a referee, who was running brackets the first two days, up with an extra hoodie? 🙏🏼

Thanks again to @spacedey.bsky.social! I got to meet her in person at #Evo2025 to thank her for her generous donations to my charity tournament last year!

Got to stop by and thank @wavechan.bsky.social in person at #Evo2025 for her amazing donations to my charity tournament last year!

Working hard as a ref at #Evo2025! Had a great time running brackets for SF6 and GGST!

Afternoon outside reading break on the first warm day of the year

I opened some Pokemon card packs for the first time again in over 20 years and now I don't want to stop. That's all

Yesss

Rewatched Inglorious Basterds the other night and it was incredibly cathartic. Crazy how different it feels watching this movie in 2025 with all the shit happening right now

It's hard to know what to say or whether it's even worth adding to the doom - what I will say is buy your trans friends' weird zine, their album, their art game - buy them a beer or a soda or a meal - give them some ko-fi money for doing absolutely nothing. We gotta protect trans kids and adults.

I've been waiting 9 months to make this joke, but you can officially call me "Dadggra" now 🥹

Oh Mai, our first post on Bluesky! 🔥

My Spotify Wrapped. Yasunori Nishiki is way up there because I use so much of the Octopath Traveller OSTs as background music for my tabletop games lol

They finally nerfed Cammy's cr mp, but it doesn't even matter to me. Modern never had that button lol The nerf to her OD DP side switch is pretty huge though. I think she'll still be in a pretty good spot

Love the new Sabrina art. I want all the holographic gym leaders now ✨

“What radicalized you?” Bro I was told to treat people the way I would want to be treated in kindergarten and it made sense idk what else there is to say

(Arcane spoilers) The ending of Arcane was so heartwarming 💖 Ending season 2 with just 5 and a half episodes was kind of short but I loved it 💖💖💖 I’m glad they can be a family again 😊

Went to a tea bar yesterday with my wife and now I'm heavily considering getting into tea as a hobby🍵

Take care of yourselves and those around you. Having a sense of community and empathy is more important than ever. No matter what anyone thinks you have value as a human being and dont let anyone tell you different 🫂

I am hurt, saddened, and furious. However, I will keep on living. I will care for my community and help every single person I can. I will support the safe spaces I can even though the world just became darker. Please take care of yourself. We have a long road ahead of us, but you're not alone.
