Extra Life for Children’s Hospitals let me know that CB2025 was the most successful fundraising table they had at a convention this year (breaking the record they set at CB2024). CB has broken a lot of show records over the years. This is the best one. Thank you everyone that contributed!

Little more hope materialized tonight. Nice to see.

Concerns around IP usages in fandom promotions feel made up when the US government is promoting joining Ice with generative AI Halo assets.

In business, profit may be the priority, but in creativity, nothing outweighs the feeling of “I love this.” - Shinsuke Takizawa

The length of this jet lag must never be repeated. 4 days is absurd.

Opened CB2026.workbook today. Here we go again.

Purpose reaffirming event. What an amazing weekend this has been.

Thank you to the players, crew, partners, friends, general attendees, and the city of Nice for an amazing inaugural Evo France. Incredibly excited to experience this again in 2026.

Vibes are good. Praise be.

Hello Nice.

This past month has been a whirlwind of strife. I am exhausted and hoping this weekend’s event provides the rejuvenation I’ve relied on over the years. It doing so feels integral.

Discourse is dead but never dies.

Day-to-day existential crisis being interrupted by prerelease Teemo theory-crafting is a uniquely 2025 experience.

From Slashback, to Roundhouse, to R.I.S.C, Max Mode, Beast in the East, Midwest Mixfest, Central Florida Face-Off, D.I.Y., SQ, C3 & many more, we’re seeing a welcome new era of regional events growing quickly in the US. Find one, or build one, near you and get some games in.

Need life to cooperate so that I can make it to Roundhouse next year.

Coincidentally, $8.95 in 2011 is worth $13 today.

Heart on fire. Tank on empty.

We're going to LA Comic Con!👈 This is our first ever merchandise booth outside of dedicated fighting game events and we're bringing a bunch of our FGC apparel & accessories, so we hope you'll come support us💯. Come see us this weekend at booth #4940 in West Hall by the gaming stage👋!

This house is only ever a home when Cat is under its roof. Thankful for modern medicine (and the health insurance to use it) making that a reality again this morning.

Two separate days in the ER and two different surgeries in one week is two too many.

This full day in the ER ending with my wife getting scheduled for surgery tomorrow has aggressively thrown my life priorities back into perspective.

Missing my dad on his birthday today and driving by a place named Big Iowa BBQ in Tokyo is heartstring pulling. He would’ve loved hearing about a small world discovery this surprising.

The design language throughout Tōkon so far is incredible. Everything is visually satisfying and well done.

Everything I have worked on in fighting games has been with the ambition of bringing our communities together. Inclusivity, community, and connectivity matter to me. It’s deeply personal that they remain part of what I work on and that the future of Evo respects that.

Every day with your loved ones is important. Tomorrow is not promised.

New Pose zine from Beyond the Streets is an inspiring collection of works.

Getting to see the 35th Anniversary of TMNT in a theater tonight was a treat. Happy I can finally check that off the bucket list.

The work will outpace your interest in doing it. Results come from the commitment, not the inspiration.

There will be matches you lose, flawed attempts at perfection that stack over the years. They are the price of ambition. Move past them, persevere and try again. Potential roots in the practice.

Find paths to serenity in the time you have. Time becomes more limited with each passing day.

Fantastic Four: First Steps was very good.

“The life of a designer is you’re only as good as your last design. What defines you is how you behave in the low moments, not when you’ve done something super fresh.” - Virgil Abloh

It is immensely fulfilling being part of this experience each year. Much love to everyone who came together and made Evo 2025 possible. Thank you.

Doors are open at @evo.gg 2025! Enjoy the show. Check out the art museum for me. The team put together something very cool for that this year.

Perseverance and adaptation are the ways through.
