correct RNG use: throwing wrenches in a player's plan and make them think harder about their choices and add a level of tension to the game incorrect RNG use: have you heard of gambling

surely I'm not the only one who gay screamed watching the slay the spire 2 trailer right

sorry to everyone who DMd me about/from DPG and is still waiting--unfortunately I am still recovering and need to be able to discuss the event without a black hole in my heart

you ever think about how fucked up it is they make like 5 types of blue gatorade and 1 of them is blue cherry? the whole point is that you suspend your belief in reality to enjoy the taste of blue. it's false advertisement to take a real life fruit and call it blue and expect it to be good. fuckers

got over 10 hrs of sleep last night… maybe sleepers are onto something…

Today is Transgender Day of Remembrance. We are 4x more likely to be victims of violent crimes. 40% of us have attempted suicide. Especially given the current political climate, it's important to remember that existing, in and of itself, is a form of fighting. Keep existing. Keep fighting.

jayde and i are gonna do a dpg reflection/ama stream on my channel tonight at 7pm pst come tune in :3 twitch.tv/contrapdx

It's incredible what finishing a year long project that felt doomed but went pretty well will do for your mental health because I woke up feeling amazing

the best part about being home from dpg is I have slept longer than 6 hrs finally and I can drink coffee on my meds break and now surely I will remember my t shot this time right

what a weekend… what a last 2 months…..

if anything, I think I really popped off w logsitics for dpg. still behind on all the prep I gotta do, but we will get there. hopefully all the tough parts about this event are remedied w all the upsides we were able to make happen

Happy Circulatory System Walking Through The Kitchen Day to those who celebrate.

At CB2024 we hosted Extra Life 4 Kids & Lurie’s Children’s Hospital to help them fundraise. Today I received a stick painted by one of Lurie’s kids to thank us for hosting their best performing convention table! I’m so proud of our community’s generosity. Thank you for helping us support the kids.

Fighting game events don't inherently skew left, but fighting game events that maintain mask and vax policies, feed each other, and aggressively ban xenophobes are a good starting point for cultivating the duty of mutual care among each other. And once that duty is internalized, it's easy to spread.

The primary impetus for my FGC organizing work came from reading a bunch of books about combating fascism immediately after 2016; the main takeaway I found was that building community, and articulating politics through building community, was a necessary step to resisting malignant politics.

If you are a trans person or person worried about abortion restrictions who needs help with temporary housing, job hunting, moving logistics, etc, hit me up. I don’t have a lot to offer besides experience and a spare small room but that’s what I can do to help right now.

how do I start rickposting? all I’ve come up with is “respect can come in the form of delicious cheese and crackers” and I stand by it, but I also have no idea what it means

Lastly, I wanted to especially thank shinobi and @nightsclimax.bsky.social for making the event a masks required one. It's so refreshing coming home from an event and not seeing a wave of tweets from friends getting sick and wondering if I'm next. Masks work and climax 6 is a great example

shoutout to kid me who asked to be Death for halloween. my parents had a big fight bc my mom wouldn't let me, but my dad took me to the costume shop behind her back! thanks dad

Something I want to note, as a full-time healthcare worker in the FGC, it was really special seeing people do right by the masking mandate in the ballroms at CoN6s, to the point we actually ran out of the masks provided at TO desk. I got to even give mask fitting tips to help with face comfort!

Please stop the tweets, I'm not prepared to explain to Melee players why "male/female socialization" is a fallacy

PSA to white trans people: If you're having a conversation with other white trans people about trans intracommunity dynamics and get the urge to say "this is just like racism", stop. Think about whether that's an appropriate comparison to be making. Hesitate more.

still thinking of the sweet potato chili I made

someone should give me $100k so I can host TO bootcamp to train the next gen of major TOs before I retire and also rent a giant bounce house at said bootcamp

a fanfiction and a hot cup of coffee is one of life's greatest delights !
