I probably don't know what I'm talking about.
Finished in the top eight of a Street Fighter 6 tournament tonight. (Dream and Play.) Woot! Pretty stoked! These run every two weeks, join the discord and get in to the next one! discord.gg/qnXBuMxy

Another somewhat embarrassing post. (These are hard to look at.) When I started at the beginning of 2024, I made up a goal of 180 pounds, fully thinking it was impossible since I was at 375.

I won an in-game Ryu only tournament. It was pretty silly fun. They should fire these on-demand like the tournaments in Magic Arena.

Other than a PEBKAC error with my graphics driver, Linux setup was pretty smooth. And you know what's crazy? My project (which is mostly C++ using zig as a build/package tool) just builds and runs. First try! (Just "git clone" + "zig build run".)

I can't really believe it how great this is.

I'm very confused. I've got C++ working in Rider right now. I'm on Windows, though. Maybe a Linux build thing?

Is it just me or are debugging visualization tools sexy?

What kind of monster prints their title upside down on the book’s spine? I just got Lua Programming Gems in, and I hate this.
