finally back home and settled so i can fart into my gamer chair in peace time for some frosty faustings afterthoughts! after EVO 2019 i swore to myself i would never TO two brackets again since it's a lot of work and this technically counts as a "vacation" for me.

ppt2 should let you use online lobby emotes in the offline pre-battle screen

current intrusive thought is that something really stupid is going to happen to my miniPC that stops the FF TGM4 tourney, possibilities include - windows 11 decides to update in the middle of top 4 - PC overheats during top 4 - whatever the fuck mihara means by this

it's pretty cool, and unexpected, that TGM4 master ended up having multiple strategies to tackle the different gimmicks. lots of avenues for individual player skill expression here's a 0 pikii GMR clear, for example www.youtube.com/watch?v=S_XV...

what do you mean the chris hu sinkwater quote is over a decade old

2026 game reviews. I liked the format I ended up using when I collected all the reviews so I'll be continuing it again this year. As a reminder, the rating system adds up points based on four factors: + (good) − (bad) × (liked) ÷ (disliked)

I submitted the PPT2 FF pot bonus and realized immediately afterwards that the funny donation amount would have been $24+24+35

live watch party at frostys??? [no]

the existence of arcade puzzlers implies the existence of an arcade supergenre

soon: arcade puzzlers get to join shmupers when steam runs an arcade puzzle sale that puts no actual arcade puzzle games in the featured carousel

earlier: finally, i will use this week of vacation to work on <various puyo javascript toys> now:

mario : wario :: tetris : watetris???

alright folks what level of Happening are we expecting here

never seen a mobage offer this before. does this fall under the umbrella of acceptable AI? the Global servers shuttered years ago, so no jobs are being replaced, and the impact of getting the translation wrong is close to zero... not sure how the translation model is being trained and run though.

Okay I had another idea.
