FGC Friends, what are some of the best beginner resources you've seen. Can be for any game, just resources/guides/videos that are easy to follow and understandable that can start at a relatively low level.

Love the validation of seeing my idea being executed. Hate when capitalism pushed me out of the idea.

I move further left with every passing day.

Friends of mine and the local Roller Derby team I coach came together and this incredible music video! Give it a watch, throw them some likes and comments, all that good stuff! Peep me in my best crazy carny act as well! www.youtube.com/watch?v=LQw9...

Controller problems. Shoutout @thomaswinkley.bsky.social for the loan after so I could play. Tilted off the face of the earth though and 0-2ed. Time to try to salvage some fun out of the weekend...

Pools!

Hello Vegas!

Absolutely amazing game. We were down by a dozen points, made adjustments at halftime and came home with an amazing win!

Today is a great day. I coach our local Roller Derby team, and we're returning to the track locally for the first time in almost 6 years. Super excited, hoping we come out with the W, but it'll be a fun time regardless.

Super excited to see folks at EVO, much less excited to play sadly. I just can't get my skill to a level where the game is enjoyable for me and I'm really fucking bummed by that fact and feel like so many folks have tried to help and I just continue to fail.

My dayjob has a cybersecurity position that was just posted, the job would be someone who would work with me. The amount of linkedin requests I've gotten in the last 24 hours, I can only imagine this is what being an attractive woman is like on Tinder.

Who am I seeing at EVO? 👀

In the grand scheme of everything going on, my own personal problems and worries seem so small and insignificant. Still hopping for some good news this week, but if it fails to materialize, it is what it is.

Putting SF6 on the shelf for a few weeks. Feels like I'm functionally just playing the game wrong, actively getting worse day by day. Hopeful that a couple weeks to reset my brain will bring the fun back.

This might be the most privileged shit I've ever read.

No preorder, just walked in and got one with my good vibes. No big deal.

All good things come to an end

This was not even my final form as it turns out

When the Balatro gods bless your run.

We hope all our FGC friends had fun at Combo Breaker this weekend. Was fun to meet so many of you and hang out. With that said, we're all back on the grind today. Looking forward to catching a lot of you at EVO this year!

I hear folks talk about how easy it is to hit master in SF6 really makes me feel like I missed some core/basic element in my fighting game education path. Picking up a new character feels absolutely foreign and it takes me weeks to learn a couple combos and how to use some normals. Learning is hard

Usually don't get hit that bad by post event blues, but I just want to go back to CB again this coming weekend.

Combo Breaker 2025 Recap Another year, another Combo Breaker, each one better then the last. Full credit to @thehadou.com , @eidelonn.bsky.social and their incredible team. My highlight of each year at this point!

As much as Im not as invested in FGC stuff anymore, Ive gotta say it was really great seeing so many people at Combo Breaker who felt comfortable being themselves and just dressing however the fuck they wanted. Strong communities make the most vulnerable groups feel safe.

Annual reminder

Will yap about it more later, but CB2025 has kicked ass. My own performances less-so. SFV 1(dq)-2 Mystery 2-2 SF6 1-2 Fighting games are great, I just wish I was so much better. Lots of work to do!

Still doing this. Anyone else up early, Matcherino partner, mutuals, friends? Find me at the SF6 setups. Come play, chat, hang out whatever you want.

Out for SF6 at 1-2, could be worse, still disappointed.

Combo Breaker, I am here.

Ideal flight neighbor

Toronto layover, few more hours and off to Chicago.

Reminder! Also want to learn a bit of some new games, so if you want to teach me some basics, find me!

Any Matcherino Partners that are going to be at Combo Breaker. Find me at some point during the event to chat, and we'll hook up a future event of your choice with 2x codes. I'll be around all event, feel free to DM or discord me to track me down.

Accepting the very realistic chance that I'll just go 0-2 and out in SF6 at Combo Breaker this week. Think its been literally months since I was playing this badly.

New vinyl day. Propagandhi🤘

Wanted to get to diamond on a second character before Combo Breaker. Did it, still trash, but slightly less bad trash now!

Somehow I knew they were not giving me the runback

A year older today. Proud of some things I accomplished this year. Another Fight for a Cause done, success in both jobs, some wonderful friends who care about me and continuing to be there for my amazing mom. Aiming for a bit more happiness this next trip around the sun though. 🧁

This is just incredible news.

Positive: Some days are two steps forward, one step back Negative: That step back is a punch to the god damn throat

I just registered for Evo 2025 start.gg/tournament/e... #Evo2025 via @startgg My First ever EVO, who am I seeing there?

Happy PUP album release day to those who celebrate.

I can tilt hard enough to give myself a headache as in turns out. C- would not recommend.

New Propagandhi day is always a good day.

Can breath a bit, Canadian politics are a ride.

Canadian friends, get out there today and vote in what is arguably the most important election in a long ass time. Polls are looking pretty locked in, but polls don't vote, don't take any risks, get out there and vote.

Room temperature IQ is such a funnier insult to read when you live where Celsius is the unit of measurement.

Some days I miss playing paper TCGs, then I look at the cost and remind myself literally any other hobby is cheaper.
