Final Update: 76 of the top 101 (incl 28 of the top 30) played in a Nicolet tournament in 2025!

jack asked if i would sketch up a poster to tell people in nearby neighborhoods about the partnership between flock and ring, and this is what i came up with. it can be printed on an 8.5x11 sheet of paper.

been a minute since i posted on here, but i'm coming back with GOOD NEWS: #smashsisters RETURNS to @genesis.gg on saturday, february 14th 🩷💜 #GX3

i did a lightning talk at @kiwipycon.nz about my slippi ftp replay stuff! check it out: youtu.be/ZP-wGoZ5v-g?...

I'm looking to discontinue support for Challonge in Replay Manager. If you are a Challonge hotswapper or know a TO who is a Challonge hotswapper please get in touch.

i now have repo access for ausmash (thx @shitashi.bsky.social) so i shipped my first feature in ausmash and now you can upload replay manager zips in bulk to ausmash!

Are you looking for unique handmade top 8 graphics at low prices with a quick turn around? Get in touch with me (DevDogg ^.^) I would love to work with more melee TOs and communities

In 2025, I asked 25 melee players "what does melee mean to you?" Their responses were originally shared in my weekly newsletter: waddle.news Now, I'll share what everyone had to say at once...

🎮🚨 If you are having a new issue with your adapter not connecting to Dolphin, try closing Steam fully so it no longer shows up in your taskbar. Steam has been rolling out an update which adds support for GC adapters and thus prevents Dolphin from using them.

A new tool for running netplay tournaments! I've been using it at all my events over the past few weeks, and I hope to see a lot more TOs and streamers try it out. Thank you Nicolet 🙇‍♀️💜

combined with online

while social media narratives seem to be driven by top players and figureheads bemoaning the decline of majors, the reality for most is that local/weekly Melee has never been better

You guys respond to DMs from top players?

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history. Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

lol xitter is a piece of crap now. I continue to keep my account active so it can't be squatted, and they're doing the domain u2f/passkey migration which is all and good. except they fucked up and it's impossible to log in even after you save a new u2f key or passkey and disable all other 2fa.

friend shared this, immediately updated my settings

approaching strangers outside Wrigley Field like, "hey is this tournament?"

Happy Hub Day! Startgg hubs let players get notified whenever a new tournament is happening! It also acts as a nice archive. Perfect for local communities or individual series📈 Here is a thread on all of my startgg hubs:

people really memory holed just how casually transphobic / transmisogynistic the late 2010s internet was everywhere despite the "trans tipping point" and valuable scholarship in that era

to clarify the horrors arent from some incoming hyper AGI (not happening) but from the usual operative modes of capitalist technologies - surveillance, social murder, instrumentalization, technical debt, enshittification, digital rot, profit gen, nationalism, colonial plunder, sexing the body, vibes

41 of the top 50 (and 27 of the top 30) played in a Nicolet tournament so far this year!

Immigration is like trans rights in this way: despite obvious widespread bigotry, most working class citizens are actually pretty sympathetic to migrants, except when stirred up by media panic and fascist agitation. So polling numbers fluctuate wildly based on media cycles.
