Today is 3 months since the first time I played Sound Voltex and I've gone from crashing a level 3 to consistently passing 16s. Plus today I got a UC on my first project chart! I spent so long thinking I would never be any good at rhythm games, and actually that was dumb. Still a long way to go 👀

Had a blast commentating a few runs this weekend, even if my sleep schedule suffered the consequences. Worth it every time, see y'all next year ❤️

"this game seems interesting but I'm bad at rhythm games/shmups/fighting games/whatever" you deny your own curiosity out of a fear of not living up to a standard that does not exist to an audience that isn't even watching. you must overcome this to live a full and true life.

As is tradition, I am offering myself to commentate for folks at SGDQ! If you want an extra idiot to learn your game or just go "wait huh?" A lot, you know where to find me! (Plus like...being on couch is fun, you get to hype up your friends)

So many amazing people with amazing runs on the games list. Exceptionally stoked for @chibicarrera.bsky.social doing their first run on the big stage and TFT finally getting deaths door back at a mainline after working so hard on the game the last few cycles!!

This could be Speedrun bsky rn, but you playin :(

When we made a tifo so good it changed the logo for the entire league 😂 💚💛

Ya know, in retrospect I wasn't entirely wrong here 😂

At the top where we belong, and Seattle isn't even in the top half, also where they belong <3

Kitten you've been very, very bad today

Time to go derust hot dog reporter!

I've said before that with my running, so goes my mental health, and good lord does that feel extra true about last month. Just happens that the worst month in recent memory also coincided with an injury that kept me off the trails nearly all month. Feeling so good now that I'm back

Two days in a row lmao

MA Vignola on her first game against Seattle as a Thorn "Honestly, I already disliked Seattle, so coming here really wasn't that big of an adjustment for me."

This is art.

I forgot to post this at the time but this weekend I dislocated my shoulder, and apparently while I was under anesthesia to get the shoulder reset, I was lamenting to the doctor that this was gonna put a damper on my Sound Voltex practice. I think I've reached rhythm game degenerate status 😂

As of 10:38 pm on January 16, 2026, I have seen a live performance by the original band of every song that my middle/high school ska band Subtle Uproar ever covered 🫡 (last song was Yesterday by Mustard Plug)

Max Verstappen please never change

WHAT IS THE POINT OF STAYING UP UNTIL MIDNIGHT TO LEARN A 5-MINUTE LONG SPEEDRUN OF A GAME JAM GAME IF SRC IS GONNA BE DOWN!? (btw Avlo the Imp Wizard by Geo Montauk and None on @itch.io is a banger speedgame, I hope they make a longer version)

During the AGDQ finale, meme team drew a bunch of Pokémon in paint. This gave me an idea. I am, in fact, a very bad drawer. But I also truly believe that anybody can learn a skill with practice, so I'm gonna start drawing daily and see how much I can improve in a year. Daily low-quality Pokémon 🧵

So you know how sometimes the finale feels get to you so you go to set up a google flights alert for SGDQ but then you notice flights on Alaska are really cheap right now, so you check and see a round trip flight to Minneapolis for #SGDQ2026 will cost you half your rewards points? So anyway...

And now for one of the best GDQ traditions, making somebody's night with a huge raid <3

when you become too important at your job #AGDQ2026

When I said "I wish I could draw well enough to make fan art of adef with the whole team" I didn't think for a second it would be this beautiful. Good lord meme team knows how to take an idea and make it ten billion times better <3

I made a blue sky for this did I do it right?

Shredberg is the funniest person on the internet holy shit

I feel old, but proud of it. #AGDQ2026 #AGDQ2014

it would be really hashtag awesome if no one got cancer anymore
