Speedrunner. Phasmophobia VIP. Ace. Occasional host. He's the ghost at Dead Man's Curve.

I'm not a fan of screenshots of long Discord/notes posts, so I'll keep this brief on here: I'm taking a break from streaming.
Phasmophobia's fun. Streaming hasn't been.
I'll still host and speedrun elsewhere, but I need to figure out how I want to move forward. Whenever I feel ready, I'll return.

I'm not a fan of petitions and largely don't think they lead to meaningful action, but if my rantings about transphobia in pinball have resonated with you at all, there's a petition you can sign here. The IFPA's a small enough organization that they might take notice, at least. c.org/KZCW7hLNhM

This pisses me off because Josh Sharpe is directly blaming the IFPA's own actions here rather than the tournament director's. I saw the IFPA representative moving between groups and trying to force action and find a resolution in a short timeframe. I never saw the tournament director that weekend.
IFPA president Josh Sharpe has doubled down on awarding points to a pinball tournament where a transphobic hate crime occurred.
He now says the event _could_ have been stripped of its points, and blames the different outcome on two trans women.

An IFPA event became the center of a major controversy last weekend after a venue manager forcibly removed a trans woman from the women’s restroom and the TD allowed the event to proceed without interruption. The IFPA’s response has now created more controversy.

The IFPA's spoken up about the incident at last weekend's OBX Flippers pinball event, and it's weak: An apology for inaction, an email address for reporting player safety issues, and a one-year ban for an annual event that doesn't stop them from just running slightly later in 2026.
Spineless.

The aftermath of league night was way more fun last night than actual league play, but my performance was subpar to my expectations. 3rd-2nd-3rd-2nd, and a bunch of missed opportunities to improve my standing.
For the life of me, I cannot control a pinball or hit shots as of late, and it's irksome.

Sometimes pinball practice goes so poorly, I start believing the only reason other people want me in this space is because they need easy scrubs to beat to boost their ranking and they're trying to convince me I have a remote chance at being good at this.
Fuck, I'm so mad at pinball right now.

It's telling, while dealing with incidents like yesterday's, who stands with you in even the most uncomfortable of circumstances.
You learn who the real ones are, the ones who are willing to give up something they've looked forward to all year to stand against horrid bigotry.

I'm disappointed that there's been no formal repercussions for this tournament so far.
I'm disappointed that everything just kind of went on because people got theirs.
But I think the things I'm most disappointed in are the people who are aware of what happened and chose to participate anyway.

I am disappointed by so much today.
I'm disappointed that a pinball tournament I've been looking forward to all year was derailed by a hate crime.
I'm disappointed that the TD just simply failed to address that in any meaningful way.

After today's multiple transphobic incidents, I'm not playing in any OBX pinball tournaments.
I hope the tournament becomes nearly worthless in WPPR points.
I'm impressed how at least some of the community is coming together to make a better alternative happen next year

Correction: I flipped a bit on a Rolling Stones in a Mexican restaurant during dinner, and I think there needs to be an NHL-branded table with buttons to activate blocking posts on outlanes and the center drain.
But I just saw you playing a Rolling Stones at a Mexican restaurant 👀

Well. There is no pinball this weekend due to transphobia and a spineless TD who would not stand up for women's rights.

I'm not entering my first out-of-area tournament because of this horrid bullshit, and honestly, I feel perfectly fine about it. Fuck transphobes and spineless tourney directors. I'll enjoy myself out here without a single flip on a table.
One of the employees ran into the bathroom and shooed a trans person out and told them that she would call the cops for trespassing. Tourney admin basically took a “well this is my volunteer but not my employee” position.

I think I'm reaching a point where I want to be more selfish. A point where I want to make sure I'm focusing more time on those who are willing to take me along for their rides and also enjoy my company and adventures.
Or this might just be a midlife crisis kicking in and making me ramble.

As I suggested I might, I deleted the earlier posts I made after crashing and burning out of another monthly tourney. I don't want to minimize the kind words or anyone reaching out, I appreciate that thoughtfulness a lot.
I just need to turn a corner, and I feel like my practice isn't paying off.

It's probably not good practice to be playing on a pinball table without a tilt bob, but dang, is it ever satisfying to aggressively nudge a table and put down a personal best after a rough week competitively and mentally.
