#ChainShift2025 is a love letter to our FGC locals. My goal this month is to highlight what makes our events special & how there's so much to be seen beyond the livestreams.

Why have I been saying the full phrase "command grab" all these years like a sucker, it takes so long, so many mouth muscle movements. The better contraction is so obvious: Command + gRAB = CRAB. I crabbed em. Ya got crabbed. You got a real big crab problem buddy. Quit gettin crabs all the time

Preparing for my Japan flight for #TWT2024 Global Finals by making sure my gear is well maintained. I'm also contemplating switching out my black buttons for matte white. What do you guys think? 🤔
A photo of SoCal SUMA's personal arcade stick. In the top-left corner, text reads "Post-Clean". Photos and stickers underneath the plexiglass represent some of his interests such as: - Chains of Fate Monthly - New York City TEKKEN - Battle Lounge - A sticker that reads "I WANT TO BEARLIEVE" as Kuma flies over a forest - A photostrip of SoCal SUMA and his girlfriend A photo of a blue and pink arcade button. The text in the top-left corner reads, "Crown SDB-202 30mm w/ Arcade Shock plunger inserts".

(3 of 3) Geno is overpowered by the strong smell of Hongthai and physically reels back in response. Conflict220 is in the background unaware.

I had an OB/GYN check-up today. I scheduled it a while ago. I was due. Anyways, I’ve decided to talk about what was a pretty emotionally poignant visit because it feels worth sharing. 🧵

TOs and bracket runners, I beg your assistance.

Do you have experience running "low/mid level" brackets? How would you qualify it? Something like [anyone can enter, but if you win, you can't enter anymore]? How can we reintegrate the winners into the activity making it a cycle of improvement?
