Against the storm has become my new EU4, I should stop playing this game

It is unfortunate on the news, but also we are incredible lucky and blessed to have a great venue to host these tournaments for over 7 years in the Sacramento area. We will greatly miss Innogrove, and I want to thank Steve Barnett who allowed us to use this space for so long.

Espada here. Wanted to give you guys an update. I was able to meet with one of the reps for the company that now owns Innogrove. Unfortunately the venue is now closed on weekends, so we will no longer be able to host Tag In Battle there. Once we have leads for a new home, will keep you all posted.

I have finally finished going through and touching up some of the pictures from @frostyfaustings.bsky.social 2026. Most of them focus on Rev 2 as that is my main game and community, but there are pictures of other games sprinkled in as well. www.flickr.com/photos/20168...

Congratulations to the Chaos Code NSC Frosty Faustings Vortex Gallery 2026 top 8! #VGFFXVIII2026

🪽ANGEL ARCADE #1: MIRACLE 🪽 It's soft launch day for my new comic series! This isn't a sports story about winning, but a collection of cherished memories, observations, myths, and celebrations of the "community" aspect of "fighting game community." #angelarcade

Sending out the signal for any Xrd offstream matches from Frosty Faustings 2026. You should be able to collab using this link: www.youtube.com/playlist?lis... Playlist should already have Judson's, Didact's, and Dane's recordings so far. Thanks everyone for your hard work!

Frostys 2026 was a fun time as always. Enjoyed seeing people again and meeting new folks, and really happy to see a good amount of international travelers coming out for Xrd. Did about as well as I expected tourney wise, except for the pleasant surprise of MBON.

chaos code discourse on my TL so i will counter by saying i played the closest set of my life against kluddwolf and it was such good ass chaos code we hugged it out at the end like an 80s sports movie game is goated

Landed back in NorCal, back from another fun Frostys

Rewatched A Better Tomorrow again for the first time in a while, maybe since high school. Might be time to (re)watch some John Woo / Chow Yun Fat films

Merry Xrdmas! Throwback to 2024's Resshoumania.

Got around to uploading my #Resshoumania2025 pictures to flickr. More will be added when I either edit some of the digital ones that did not make the cut or when I get the four rolls of film back (though that might be a different album). www.flickr.com/photos/20168...

A bit late, but happy to attend another great Resshoumania. Shoutouts for the PGG crew and all staff for their great work. Super nice to see so many out of region folks coming through as well, nice seeing a bunch of new and old faces

And to round out the last day, was able to get the 0-2 boys together for a group photo! See you all next year at Resshoumania

Thank you to @drifterdane.bsky.social for being such a fun opponent for #RESSHOUMANIA. We started with a broad concept, and then ended up really pushing each other to go through the extra effort with costume and dance practice. 🫶

In case you missed it, here’s the Resshoumania V Opening video I edited. I’ve always had fun mixing guilty gear characters with real world settings, and felt it would work with the city funk vibes from the song. This was a lot of work to put together, but I’m super proud with how it turned out!

And the official RESSHOUMANIA fight card listing is up for Saturday! Undercard will start at 2PM Pacific, Main Card at 6PM over at twitch.tv/pattheflip. If stream conditions are unfavorable, we'll do VODs for later. See you tomorrow! #rev2forev2

calling ALL 209/559/Sac/Bay VF+KOF players (on bluesky)!! *I* will be running some brackets at Arcade Replay in Stockton this month for VF5 and KOF15 (and 02UM). VF5 this Saturday on 12/13, 6PM KOF15/02UM next Saturday on 12/20, 6PM Check out the links below for more information.

We actually have one more RESSHOUMANIA match to announce! I'll reveal it on stream tomorrow <3

A week late but I figured out slightly more practical 100 RISC kill combo on Chipp, though it's pretty standard besides the 5Hs

Swung by Amoeba before I went back home and was able to get this classic album - easily my favorite Katatonia album

The headliner, Panopticon (with most of Falls of Rauros acting as a touring band). First time I've been in Oakland for a concert since the pandemic, hell of a show.
