I don't weigh in on politics often, but what the fuck.
Since I've been trying to play a fighting game every day, I decided to break out the stick.
I realize that most things are easier for me on stick, but I have two big issues: double-tap dashing and accidental jumping. Also the lack of extra buttons is noticable.
Maybe just need to work on it?

Wasn't feeling it yesterday, but I still managed to keep the "fighting game a day" streak alive by trying stuff out in ST and Vampire Savior.
Gotta untie that mental knot somehow.

I'm also making the effort to play a fighting game every day at least a little bit. I feel like I need to get over the mental block I've had for a while now.
I may even learn KenJu!

Kirby's Avalanche literally exists.

After taking a day off to recover, I'm finally able to say: Frosty Faustings was a good time. Saw some great matches, did my first Mystery tournament, supported some fantastic artists.
Looking forward to next year, and to Combo Breaker, of course.

5-2 in Mystery at Frosty Faustings 2026. Lost first round, won five in a row. Small Arms and KenJu were kinda fun. Arkanoid was total stress. Cooked in Kirby's Avalanche. Almost made it out of pools on my first try!
Had a great time, can't wait to try again at CB.

Competing in my first Mystery tournament tomorrow at Frosty Faustings.
If I'm lucky, every round will be Dr. Mario or a clone of Dr. Mario.
Wish me luck

I beat the main story of Windswept a few weeks ago and have been playing the postgame levels on and off since, and man, why are there SO many postgame levels????
I mean, they're fun and challenging, but it has to end at some point, right???

I got a much-needed and long overdue haircut over the weekend, but now I miss the feeling of my hair bouncing whenever I bop my head to music.
If only my hair weren't so scraggly and hard to maintain when it gets long...

Went back to Windswept after several weeks, and FINALLY beat that stupid Laamp level with the buzzsaws and conveyor belt. It's soooo freaking long and there are no checkpoints.
The Laamp level after that was comparatively easy.
Glad I came back to this game, it's a lot of fun.

I haven't streamed in a bit because lately it's been difficult to sit down and play a video game. Not gonna lie, it's been a struggle to find joy in much these days.

I don't regret getting a Switch 2 (after all, Air Riders and Bananza are fantastic), but it's worth noting my most played game on it in 2025 was Octopath Traveler II.

I know it's a few years old at this point, but the fucking Game Grumps/Sbassbear Lipitor song has been swimming in my head for weeks.

I think for the time being I'll focus my fighting game activities on stuff that isn't Granblue. At least until CyGames gets their head out of their ass.
At least it gives me more of a reason to play UNI2.

Very very fun, one of my new favorite 3D platformers
Kirby Air Riders
Extremely fun and chaotic, one of my absolute favorites of the year.
Lumines Arise
Solid, good step forward for the series. Did give me a headache at times.

It's a new year, and I don't have any specific plans or goals, but I feel like life improvements are in order.
Guess I'll just make it up as I go along.

Signed up for CB Mystery.
Now to spend the next few months trying to force myself to practice Rivals II, UNI2, Strive and Granblue to see if it’s worth signing up for any of those.

Folks... We got it.
Took a while, but we got the room.
Will wait until later to see if Mystery is still open.

The goal for today is to get a hotel room at the venue for Combo Breaker, and to hopefully also sign up for Mystery before it fills up.
I can then agonize over whether I want to compete in something else, and maybe make myself miserable by playing ranked in that something for the next three months.
