Prob missing Unranked. Wanted to go cause its gonna be the biggest DE -> DE Waterfall event yet, but can't justify the cost or hassle of travel at this time. Wishing nothing but good luck to Unsure & co, really wish things lined up better for me to be there but o well. Hoping theres more to come

Coworker figured me out and politely asked if I "had preferred pronouns". Told him the truth that I dont even use the same name outside work

I feel I have so much more to do before I can be truthfully out but the reassurance theres people there that already have my back helps my fear of the future

I have no fucking idea what I wanna do with melee anymore

Happy pride month

Such a fucked time and I'm still letting fear dictate a lot of my life, but despite rhetoric and policy, I still believe those at Stonewall, before, and in the years since displayed far greater resilience to learn from. Forever grateful for the progress they've made possible

Probably makes me some flavor of lame, but I'm pretty hurt with how comfortable the scenes gotten with joking around telling each other to kill themselves, let alone in semi public settings

Took part in a gamejam with jessie and fancy :) 1st time using godot too!

Was great to have an actual artist + someone to tag team with (esp on UI cause i hate it 💀)

Very taxing to do coding sprints after work but watching my bf get hooked instantly made it worth

I want the MI Melee oldheads to know Charlie Harper made an attempt on my life buying me Nubby's Number Factory while I'm going through SSRI withdrawals and getting disoriented every time serotonin from stimulation hits

The triples April Fools ranking just makes me sad there probably won't be another triples bracket at a regional unless PGH does it again :(

Was never joking about it being my favorite lol

It was single elim, had Corneria and Kj64, and I had to DQ out of my last pools set to partake, but Fight Pitt 10 Arcadian Triples was the largest triples bracket yet and I won with Saucymain and iphone :3

Dropped multiple games because those 2 could not stop making me laugh, was so fun. Ggs :]

Why is Ohio built like an Early Access on Steam game

WHY HAVE I BEEN TO THE EXACT SAME REST STOP BUILDING EVERY 90 MINUTES

I have been offered a full time job by the company I intern for with a pretty competitive offer

Idk how I l've gotten so lucky to avoid having to interact with the job market after graduation but I am unbelievably grateful

Also means I'm prob staying in the AA area for the indefinite future

2024 was objectively good and full of progress but I feel ripped to shreds by fear of the future

Considering writing another journal about my year like I did for 2023 but it feels self indulgent

I feel so lucky to be able to wake up to this every day

My Steam review is pretty much exactly what I expected and reflects my mental state, which is that I adore games as generative shared experiences but people on the internet are kind of disgusting so I've steadily been reclusing into infinitely replayable coop stuff instead lol

Company I intern for indicated they might actually want to hire me full time when I graduate

Oooooooo lord one more thing to anxiously await an answer to and pine for every day

Extremely thankful for my bf helping me process some of the craziest emotions of my life

Think I've been really nasty towards people the past couple days and I'm tremendously sorry I've been in such a rush to escape discomfort 😮‍💨

Definitely feels like a part of me has died, time to grow up a bit

Cried while hugging Zach goodbye tonight

Very scared I'm doing the right thing for myself and for the community, if things will ever be as beautiful and meaningful as this despite what I really want to do and accomplish

Lot of dissonant feelings relying on hopes rather than deep trusts

This mod is legit so fucking fun, so happy to see it come more to light

Also happy to currently to hold what i think is the record for hosting the biggest triples bracket yet, and if someone makes an attempt on more than 18 teams I will try to be there 🤙

I'm not sure how much longer I can do the "living two lives" thing, think I'm beginning to fall apart at work lol 🙃
