Heads up.

Each milestone just feels like a memento mori nowadays.

Changing like the seasons but wishing for rain.

Tyler Watamanuk’s “Bigger Than Fashion” was an enjoyable read. Good high level review of many of the brands that brought streetwear to popular awareness.

Subcultures thrive when sincerity and participation are the only doors impeding entry.

Dumbfounding.

Lived to see a Nas & Preemo record released.

C’est la vie.

Thankful for family, friends, food, and fighting games.

6 months without caffeine has given me incredible control of my sleep schedule.

You are what you practice being.

Blessed that Mixfest exists. Thankful that Mixfest exists.

Not all advice is beneficial.

Weddings hosted in Speakeasies have once again proven top tier. Much love to the newlyweds and the friends gathered together for them.

Is there currently a best newsletter utility? Looking to spin one back up for future event announcements.

What’s the best Halloween candy?

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.
