Struggling with sleeping and watching "normal people" react to Slayer songs and barely holding it together. Realizing most of us fold our laundry to this stuff.

During times of unemployment, well meaning friends have suggested I use my skills as a game designer outside of this industry. The problem isn't whether or not game developers have transferable skills; we do. It's that no one with hiring power outside of the industry knows that.

Saya Kamatani vs Starlight Kid going into the MOTYC tier. Threw together some rambling first thoughts before going to bed. This one requires a rewatch. They are so different but I think Miu/Suzume & Saya/SLK are making it to the end of the year. #Stardom #neocities dk1105.neocities.org/MatchLog2026

My favorite thing about this clip. Momo lost and still goes for the hammer.

Edited together today's backflip attempts. Now I'm super annoyed because the last fall I showed was perfect. I just ran out of ramp. It's so frustrating because I know how to do this and blaming it on the ramp is BS but IT'S ALSO THE RAMP 😭 #rollerblading #skating #skatepark

Holy shit it was ugly but I finally got my backflip back again! I'm landing them fine but i always slip out on the roll away. #rollerblading #skatepark

Just got recognized at a gas station by a whole group of people. I get recognized all the time because I'm that long hair rollerblader throwing backflips at your local skatepark with the tiny blue car. Not very suttle. Problem is I have awful face blindness so had no idea who any of them were. 💀

Hiromu just left as well. I know there are various rumors about where everyone lands but if anyone can pull off a complete LIJ reunion outside of #njpw that could be a very big deal. Man the future of New Japan is weird.

It's exhausting how far gone any benefit of the doubt is now. Indycar doing a race in DC is actually kind of cool if I didn't believe it was entirely a sports washing propaganda parade. An executive order for a street race? 1/2 www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...

This straight backflip is killing me. I relearned them a few years ago right before COVID and let them relapse. The landing on this box is slick steep and bouncy so not exactly giving myself the best chance. #skating #rollerblading

Oh damn EVIL actually left. It's been years since I've followed New Japan but LIJ era EVIL ruled so much. #njpw www.njpw1972.com/625508

#stardom Korakuen -Konami vs Rina was really good but a bit flat for me. Rina is great. Konami doesn't connect with me like before -Yuzupon is awesome after decade away -Itoh, Anou, Aya very fun -Hina vs Mei please 🙏 -Fuwa still impressing -Hanan looked good in her return -Lets go big Ami! Good show

2026 Match Guide is now live. Not very mobile friendly but I think this is the layout I'm sticking with. I can't look at another plain white substack. Also cursing Bushiroad for not using PNG on their renders. dk1105.neocities.org/MatchLog2026 #tjpw #stardom #njpw #wrestlesky #neocities #indieweb

Stardom Osaka Day 2 Live🧵 #Stardom Same as usual. First 2 matches up for free on Youtube. Super hyped for Anne vs AZM. Anne Kanaye way to good to be a rookie and AZM is AZM. www.youtube.com/watch?v=jcgz...

Stardom Osaka Live🧵 #Stardom It's still super weird hearing Itoh's theme on Stardom shows. That's going to take a while to get used to. Maki Itoh, Maika, Rian vs Neo Genesis (AZM,SLK & Mei) on the free part of the show. I'm ready for my favorite zoomers to bully Itoh. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZWUZ...

Mifu is in for a killer 2026 #tjpw

German suplex! Ashida finishes off Shino! #tjpw #tjpwMHT6 #wrestleUNIVERSE ➡️ wrestle-universe.com

TJPW Max Heart Tournament STARTOOO! 🧵 Going to be boring and pick Daisy Monkey again. I want to see Arai/Mifu and Mizuki/Uta go far this year to establish some more teams and I like the pairings. #tjpw

Kill it with fire. How do I burn it from the entire Internet?

Bee, a star! Suzume wraps herself around Miu Watanabe during their magnificent clash over the Princess of Princess championship this past Sunday. Based on a perfect photograph by @/(twitter) hamako70 #tjpw #wrestlesky

360 degrees of perfected styles, straight outta Iwate…Shinjiro Otani, Super Delfin, The Great Sasuke, Jushin Thunder Liger, Último Dragón and Tiger Mask IV, gathered around to lift you up, then and always #michipro #njpw #cmll #wrestlesky

Retiring today after 13 years a professional wrestler, one of the greatest to ever step foot in a wrestling ring, wishing every happiness to the exceptional Risa Sera #prominence #stardom #iceribbon #wrestlesky

Hazuki vs Mei Seira just Super Jr murdered each other for a CMLL belt in the semi final. That's going to be a rough match to follow. Artist belt main not having an easy one tonight. #stardom

Buckle in. Maki Itoh/Saori Anou vs Sayaka Kurara/Aya Sakura just started. #Stardom -I think my Fire Pro save just glitched out

It's so fun when half the chatroom is in Korakuen for wrestling. Completely amps up the vibe.

Anou & Itoh vs Sakurara already. Poi & Itoh rebuilding their rivalry. Let's Go! #stardom

Stardom Korakuen time. This crowd is nuts. There have been a million major shows in a row, are running Korakuen 4 times this month & barely have a card. Somehow Korakuen is packed! #stardom

Princess of Princess... Watanabe vs. Arai! #tjpw #wrestleUNIVERSE ➡️ wrestle-universe.com

I'm super hyped for Miu vs Arai for Grand Princess but oh boy am I not looking forward to that discourse train. #tjpw

Arai lights up Rika! #tjpw #wrestleUNIVERSE ➡️ wrestle-universe.com

I L-O-V-E love this team already. 😄 #tjpw #wrestleUNIVERSE ➡️ wrestle-universe.com

Time for #tjpw live. Already missed the opener but I was already locked in on the rewatch. 🧵

Finally got to rewatch Suzume vs Miu again and it's even better the second time. There is zero wasted movement and so little "setting up" spots. For every crazy nonhuman move they pulled off nothing felt scripted. There is a forward momentum bell to bell. #tjpw

imagine watching this and not thinking that this is the whole goddamn reason to even *have* America

This is awesome and precious.

I figured I would start getting a little sick of wrestling after the new year's rush slowed down but I haven't been this jazzed up in years. I think it's just a lot of the companies I follow are going through shake ups and primed for very good years.

Megaton like Sakura Hirota is becoming my favorite indicator of whose wrestling opinions I bother listening to. People are going to have their own thoughts on how much they like comedy but Im also shocked how many people completely miss how important they are to promotions & how over they are #pw_mg

Little busier this week without the snow storm

There are limits financially, tech, socially to what people can do but I'm trying more and more to avoid anything that I don't control the plug of. It fucking awful that your crackpot libertarian uncle is right for entirety wrong reasons. $5.99 subscriptions for thoughts. +$1.50 for punctuation.

discord is about to get so much worse

This sums up why I think Ren is going to grow into an awesome #TJPW wrestler. In the opener she has her usual knit sheep but later in the show she changed it out for the silly horse racing match. It's such a small detail for a rookie to be thinking about.

Tsuji banished the god awful IWGP world belt and brought back the heavyweight. Ok Tsuji is the new savior of New Japan. #njpw

Listening to @easternlariat.bsky.social talk about where Tanahashi lands in the list of Japanese greats. The two names I keep coming back to are Misawa & Mutoh. Inoki, Baba, Rikidozan are so tied to the cultural foundation but once we clear that bar there are few names that long term can compare.

Take cagematch ratings with a grain of salt but Miu vs Suzume is currently sitting at a 9.49 and is the highest rated #TJPW match ever. I can't wait to rewatch this. A TJPW match is currently in cagematches top 100 match of all time.

(1.4) #tjpw was great. Suzume vs Miu took the first spot on my 2026 list. #njwk20 Not great but Takeshita/Tsuji saved the show. Tanahashi/Okada was great & reminded me why I used to love New Japan. The Tanahashi retirement ceremony alone made it worth staying up until 7am.

AEW/WWE fandom war fans are so weird. Yell at you then block you for a the mildest comment. Come on I watched a wrestling show where they had the rookies dressed as horses so the wrestlers could take bets instead of having a match. Enjoy what you enjoy & don't be weird about it. #njwk20 #njpw #tjpw

Alright #njpw it's your once a year chance to win me back.
