The more I think about the movie whiplash, the more I think it’s a great Rorschach test for a view on what greatness costs. The average reading of it is that it’s a cautionary tale of obsession.
Haven’t been able to stop thinking about this film for years.

SplatVote is up, and the inaugural vote is tournament tiers! I've selected 18 tournaments, and I'd like players to pick whatever tiers they believe those tournaments belong to. Don't know? Skip it, it's fine. Don't wanna do all of them? Also fine!

It’s a terrible day to work in energy analytics and I’m heavily considering muting the word “oil” lol

I was annoyed at nostalgia playlists being just the hits so I built an algorithm that creates Spotify playlists that are nuclear grade nostalgia and built a 200-song playlist from my high school years and I’m sorry to report this shit oneshotted me. I must bury this algorithm deep.

I’m working on a website that’ll allow community polls and I’m going to have the inaugural poll be voting on a few tournaments and assigning labels. The goal here is to calibrate towards what the community feels a “major” is. So! Any suggestion for tiers and tournaments to vote on is welcome
gas, but also should open the discussion again: what is a major? comp.splat.top is right there, and i think that we should use this tool in determining where tournaments rank relative to skill (would be nice to be able to input an event then receive a point total + a chart for Xpts = premier, major)

2025 was pretty incredible. Massive validation of the enormous amount of effort I have been putting in myself for the last decade and some change that even setbacks have been manageable. Onwards and upwards.

Worth noting that if the apology for the gem situation involves trading which person is “the bad one,” it’s not really growth. It’s saying “I’m sorry I picked the wrong team”

The most surprising part of the dreamy situation is the knowledge that there exist “splat safety = illuminati” conspiracy theorists.

AREA CUP winning weapons updated 🔄
Yesterday’s AREA CUP was a record-breaking tournament, with three new weapons joining the winners’ club: iBow (tkf), v96 (Rusu), and vDapple (Neespa). In addition, two more weapons from past tournaments—Forge (Livia) and WNT-R (Lobster)—were added.

I've built an interactive ranking simulator to try and explain how comp.splat.top scores are computed.
This is actually a simplified version, but should explain the principle I hope

Since I already collect all tournament info, I wonder if this would be doable as a Balatro mod. Just have it connect to the internet when you start up and get their current streak 🤔

Having built and trained two different neural networks to try and autocomplete gear, v2 with 10x longer training time than v1, then examining their brains, it’s kind of crazy to see how v1’s approach to building gear is similar to how a newer player would and v2’s is much closer to a stronger player

Gambling was such a huge issue in our past that the phrase “bet the farm” is built into our vocabulary and we just kinda assumed we knew better, legalizing it again.
Really makes me wonder what other hard earned lessons from our ancestors we’ll have to relearn.

In Thursday's update I will add new tools that aim to aid organizers in making sure tournaments run in time.
1) Bracket displays time each set has been ongoing for
2) Match pages display the target time per set
3) End set option
(thread for more information)

Holy shit I just got a reply to a post on reddit I made 8 years ago giving specific advice about something I personally dealt with, and this person told me that in the last 8 years they've kept looking back to my words for strength and they're better now. You really can make a difference with words.
