I am sore as all fuck today. Physical therapy session yesterday for my back pain, they upped the exercise weight, as well the therapist this time held nothing back when adjusting my back and massage. Guy is big and was just like, gonna go all out this time. It helped a lot but Jesus am I sore.

It’s been over 7 months since I’ve had my last bad depressive spell. Probably twice as long as I’ve ever gone since I was probably a teenager. Feel like one is coming up though. The past two days have just completely tanked me. Nothing serious happened or anything, just my perspective of people.

It still baffles me that the huge “misogyny bad! Look at how women are treated! They have no autonomy!” Game’s main final message was “lol misogyny actually good, women are fucking crazy and will murder you and everyone else for doing everything you can to help them!” And everyone cheered it on.

Now that "Ladies Don't Play Fighting Games" anime has ended, I'm reading the manga. It's... not great. To be more exact, it's not nearly as good as the anime was for a number of different reasons that I'll get into. I'm only 4 chapters in but reading it is very luke warm so far.

Ladies Don't Play Fighting Games episode 12. The first 10 min. If you play fighting games seriously, if you are competitive and genuinely strive to get better, there is a time you will play someone and things start clicking, and it feels exactly like this. No exaggeration it feels just like this.

How many people do you think lost their jobs because Kojima went insanely over budget and schedule multiple times over the past 30 years?

Having a partner with fat tiddies is awesome, but sometimes they fall asleep and your hand gets trapped between them and you’re stuck holding them and it gets covered in boob sweat, so yeah as I was saying, having a partner with fat tiddies is awesome.

What makes a good sports anime is how much love is poured into it by the author. The love of the hobby is reflected by the characters, and the passion is felt throughout. Until recently I haven't felt this passion in a sports anime in a long time.

You can not like the new street fighter 6 character design, but calling it “visually repulsive” when he legit just looks like a super buff Middle Eastern Bollywood actor… is indeed racist as fuck.

The new Bleach run is amazingly good and cements it as my favorite shounen fight series. I have no doubt that this is what Kubo wanted to do originally because so many of these things were hinted at even as early as the Soul Society Arc.

Oh, what a good episode of Ladies Don't Play Fighting Games. A discussion about mental stack, playing the player instead of the matchup, and how mentalities approach the game and how it reflects in their game play and style. It also has anime Tokido to help explain it.

The megaman discourse unlocked a great memory. Roommate couldn’t get pass a boss in DKC2 after like 30 minutes of trying and was like I don’t get it. He asked me for help and I told him what to do, he still couldn’t. So I physically showed him and beat it, and he was all happy, and then I hit reset.

Gacha discourse coming up again. Did math. Capping one singular character and weapon (naturally since 50/50 it would technically be two as whoever is the other 50/50)in genshin costs you roughly 4000$ or over three years of saving pulls. The system benefits seasonals not people that play the game.

Mikey @amikelystory.bsky.social · 27/08/2026

A lot of people seem to thing every single thing in Ladies Don’t Play Fighting Games is a direct reference to something that happened to a top player, and not something that literally happens all the time to players of every skill level.

I enjoy driving but driving sucks. when i was in sf, muni-bart-bus to work 50-60 min if no delays. Pre smartphone days, that was 2 eps of anime, or gaming or reading each way to and from work. My commute now is 30 minutes of just driving, but it feels like wasted time.

If you are in a mostly quiet server, and one day randomly think you should talk shit about an entire group of people when absolutely no one is talking, you might want to re-evaluate your life.

Been together with Lisa for 12 years now. It definitely doesn’t feel like it’s been that long at all. Like that’s nearly a third of my life we’ve been together… and actually a third of hers. And quite honestly I think our relationship has only gotten better.

Riot released League classic, and a lot of older players are streaming it. So I'm watching a handful of streams of people I used to watch like 14 years ago, and this is weird to say, but a lot of them haven't grown up in the slightest. It's like they're the same mentally.

X-rays came back with no abnormalities. Why the doctors acting like because the X-rays showed nothing I don’t actually have back and shoulder pain? Does that just mean it’s not my fucking bones that are the problem, and it’s something else?

The sf movie and Yipes, Wong, and Max being extras reminded me of when I was a kid and almost got casted into a movie. I was 7-8 and had an amazing flamboyant music teacher named Mr. Nelson(who is one of the greatest influences of my entire life now that I think about it), talked to me one day…

Take this as bragging if you want. Been feeling like shit as explained in previously. Waking up, my orientation is so fucked from my ear. But waking up and seeing my half naked partner sleeping sprawled out always makes me feel better. Like damn, she’s fucking hot and amazing and I’m lucky as fuck.

The past 5 days have fucking sucked. The gist of what I’m feeling is my left ear is constantly feeling water logged, like when you take off in an airplane. Normally pressure stabilizes and it pops and it’s fine. I can force the pop by pressing near my ear on the side of my face but the …

Got some pretty bad news today. Not crazy bad or world ending or anything, but pretty fucking bad. Basically caught a virus that is going to suck for the next few months which would (partially) explain why I’ve been feeling like utter fucking pain and death the past two weeks.

In other news finished main story for granblue reeling ragnarok. God this game is so good. There’s a lot that will be missed if you aren’t a fan of the mobage, been even so it’s such a fun game. I only have two major complaints, power creep is so real. A lot of the old chars feel worthless now.

Been having bad back and shoulder pain the past two weeks. Went to doctors they sent me to get X-rays. The tech doing the X-rays asked me to twist my arm so my palms were facing out. It hurt a lot and when it reached a certain point the pain jumped to one of the most painful things I’ve ever felt.

Mikey @amikelystory.bsky.social · 15/07/2026

Just a coincidence but the TL is filled with it today. It’s a huge shame that in the late 90s and early 2000s a lot of popular media was about shaming people for caring about anything. SouthPark was probably the biggest culprit. Every episode made fun of you for caring about something.

Most of the workers at the el pollo loco near my work recognize me. The manager packed my food today and tried to short me salsa. Other worker saw and was like, nah we ain’t having that, and grabbed me the extra salsa. You the best, thank you.

It's a shame when people want to really hold on to a false narrative because they are either remembering it wrong, or want to believe someone that lied about it. I'm too old to fight for it anymore, just move on and remember them as the good friend from the past.

Something I noticed while driving home from work in traffic near lax. There are a lot of Teslas and besides the point that they’re all assholes… Tesla brake lights don’t light up when the car auto slows down because it’s approaching something. They will rapidly decelerate, no brake lights.

Anime season coming to an end. Lots of really great shows this time around, some new some returning. Marriagetoxin, Jishou Akuyaku Reijou na Konyakusha no Kansatsu Kiroku and Akane Banashi were probably my top 3 for new shows, with Awajima Hyakkei being the sleeper show that was extremely good.

Nothing is more frustrating in fighting games than the inability to do what you want, when you want to do it. It genuinely makes me feel like absolute shit when I want to do a DP and my hands will do 61256+P or 6236----P... or even 6(for an entire half second) 23. It genuinely makes me want to quit.

So he straight up lying about the past three decades where he denied publishers the chance to even consider porting to PC repeatedly? And now he’s acting like it’s their fault the games didn’t go to pc, despite them desperately trying to convince him that PC is a good thing?

A big reason I don’t like a lot of r18 games, Is that 95% of content is behind a wall of “be really bad at the game and lose” or purposely be dumb I n which you get scenes and story, and most of them are incredibly out of character just to have sex scenes. King Exit was a game that handled it well.

Nagase Anna is a relatively (emphasis) new VA but has been handed some pretty large roles in comparison. She's the voice of Akane in Akane Banashi, a popular series about rakugo. Her performance in episode 10 is genuinely the best VA work I can remember in recent memory.

Today is a good reminder of “omg how could x jury find y in z case?!?!?!” and “I told them I was a racist and hate rich people and hate poor people and got out of jury duty, score!” Are the exact same people. Who are also the “I’ll just vote for the name I recognize, or not vote at all who cares”

It’s really disturbing to me how I can genuinely say to someone, it’s going to turn out like this. I don’t want it to turn out like this but if that’s truly what you want to do, I will go along with. And you look back to 15 years ago, and it truly turned out like that with all 7+ parties involved.

On the drive to work I was wondering why the thing from work yesterday was bothering so much, when normally I’d just be like, whatever it’s not a huge mistake, it’s not a huge deal, we just overpaid a little and will use the credit next pay period. Realized the thoughts shifted to not work.
