I should write a soul document. Like for me.

I’ve been sitting under the waterfall like my sensei told me to but all that’s happening is that I’m getting cold and wet

Watching chess

I’ll be in San Diego next week for NeurIPS

Opus 4.5 is the first model with even a vaguely accurate idea of who I am, which is more encouraging feeling than I expected it to be.

Audience capture is a funny thing. With the right (?) audience it can form a negative spiral also, where you can’t post the things you want because it invites confrontational people to start yelling at you (which presumably you don’t want)

I suppose it was fun while it lasted

My wife just texted me “what is a zizian” so I’m thinking it might be over

Time to get way more evil

current mood: listening to 12 hour osrs video to fall asleep and jolting awake whenever I hear "melee stats"

doing stupid shit instead of something productive

(guy who holds contradictory opinions voice) umm, isn't it the goomba fallacy to claim the same people hold these contradictory opinions

Daily affirmations

Wrote an article about how to win at games planetbanatt.net/articles/gam...

Horrible things keep happening around me every day but as long as I keep my hand closed and call riichi once I hit tenpai in the long run it should all work out

there are hills everywhere for those with legs to climb them

Coming back to melee after playing all the card games is so crazy. Everyone is really playing the high decision character in the high decision game and complaining about having to make too many decisions

Helpful, harmless, honest

I feel like I’ve learned a good amount in the last few months laddering all these ranked queues. My new thesis is that for most things, getting good at them is about sitting through a very long, mostly boring movie (being alive, while playing the thing)

Got the flu shot and couldn’t do anything for three days so I started learning legends of runeterra

Did this for some reason

Feeling romantic about games watching this fangamer undertale stream.

Learning magic the gathering has been a fun time, very new genre for me! I just got out of spark ranked

However, gaming has a historical apprehension towards crypto, primarily due to some ill-managed product launches in the past. Nouns Esports, nonetheless,

dumb party game combos

I am in Singapore! Yay Singapore

I’m getting pretty sick of having to play defense all the time.

Update: nvm :)

In general the last six months have been a really interesting exercise in having largely non-compatible interests. I think it goes generally under-appreciated that people with multiple interests broadly tend to gravitate towards things where the "type of guy" doing them is pretty similar.

Extremely pleased with some of the improvements I got to implement for SSBMRank data collection / presentation for panelists.

Hit cobalt in sound voltex :)

I hate this game dude

Competing at melee again has put me back in the dark pit of introspection. The feelings I’ve been having to grapple with over the last several weeks have been confusing and often alarming. But somehow it feels like those feelings were always there, and I’m just finally allowing myself to feel them.

Gonna make an effort to start attending locals again

Me and my friends are all counterculture contrarians! I actually live in a big city where it’s super lame to not be contrarian lol you wouldn’t get it

I have been doing a lot of vod review lately

Feeling pretty good about my performance at ITG recently

watch my analysis vods

Im finally starting to feel a little bit like I'm moving vs marth the way I envision it when I think about it.

(Video Game Vulnerableposting) Just got back from Genesis. Was really great seeing everyone again. Wanted to dump some stray thoughts somewhere so here works okay I guess.

Inverse Edwin wins again btw @edwinbudding.bsky.social

Wireheading ass video game

This character is so awesome man
