I definitely vibe with the text as well, both with regard to finding reason to play against disparate skill levels, and in finding long sets more enjoyable and less emotionally draining. Might have to give this a read. I like Pat's other writing as well.

I guess they're going all in on getting attention through association rather than though quality. What's next, the Hawk Tuah girl as Lily? 😆

Here are some photos of the new venue

I think there have only been 6:
Level Up Games (Mpls)
Gameworks (MoA)
--pandemic--
DiVanni's (Roseville)
GameZenter
Wisdom Gaming (MoA)
RTM Gaming Lounge

So, since I didn't ever attend one at Level Up Games, I'd say that's the one that doesn't make my top 5.

I've been a fiend for big tourneys and locals for quite some time. I've been to 4 EVOs including having experienced moment #37, all of the Combo Breakers (one of probably only 3 people), and have attended more of my current local, Run the Mix, than its head TO. I love fighting games and the FGC!

Good to know. Is it for your eyes only?
