Tldr; I had an amazing time at #CEO2026! Thank you to @jebaited.gg and @ceogaming.org for putting together a spectacular event every year and an even bigger thank you for giving @retrorevivalfgc.bsky.social the Community Effort Orlando Award. It's an honor to be recognized for our work!

Did I mention that I'm gonna be running brackets at CEO? I'll be the one running Vsav, SC2, and Alpha 3. Sign up and hang out

CEO is less than two months away! It's my favorite event of the year and I can't wait to see everyone there

I can't believe that it's already been 3 years since I helped nudge @pskelly.bsky.social into starting his own local. How did I end up getting roped into playing and helping? I wouldn't change it for the world. The RR community is something special and I love you all

Had an amazing time at #CEO2025. The core of CEO is community, and I truly feel that every time I attend. I had a blast spending time with old friends, meeting new ones, and making memories. I valued the time with each and every one of you. 💜

This was great practice for #CEO2025 ! Can't wait to see how the hard work is paying off. But more importantly, can't wait to see so many friends at CEO this weekend.

I felt like I played pretty well this weekend! It was one of those days that felt like I've made some good progress.

Over the next two months we'll be running Road to CEO, featuring many of the games that will be officially at #CEO2025. We're so excited about @ceogaming.org being back in Orlando that we're opening registration for both May and June now! Early discount for June runs through May 17.

I suffered some technical difficulties with my stick but still managed to do pretty well for myself at the monthly this weekend! Shoutout to Liquid Richard and KemetBrotha for letting me borrow your sticks

Its been 8 tourneys since I've gotten first in ST and I couldn't be happier about that. Our scene for games pre-SF4 era has improved so much in a short amount of time which makes me incredibly proud. I'm very happy that Katie, myself and our friends have been able to grow this community so much!

I lost in round 1 and did a run through loser's side to make it to 3rd! Very proud of how well I played ☺️

Last weekend at @neondreamsarcade.bsky.social @oldboone.bsky.social took many wonderful photos including this one. I love it. Throughout our 20 year relationship @pskelly.bsky.social and I have played competitive games together. We don't get mad or upset. Even when he beats me with a V-ism combo 😁

I feel like my Felicia has been getting better recently. I've made a couple adjustments and they've made a huge difference. Looking forward to cracking into that top 4 ☺️

If you've attended any Retro Revival events we want to hear what you thought. What did you like, what did you dislike, and especially what are the things that we can do to give you a better experience. As a team we genuinely care about running the best possible events that we can

Back home from Frosty's. Enjoying the balmy 70⁰ and getting a stern talking to from my cat about leaving her for the weekend.

We're in there! Who else is coming for that CEO badge?

greatkat @greatkat.bsky.social · 17/01/2025

Seeing a lot of talk about paid locals, so here’s my take: Retro Revival runs free weeklies to keep fighting games accessible. $15/week can be a barrier and people have thanked us because they couldn’t otherwise participate. Everyone deserves a safe, inclusive space to play.

I'm really excited about CEO being back home in Orlando. And to top it off, we're also going to be running more of my favorite games. ☺️

Seems appropriate that National Cat Day is right before Halloween, especially when you have a black cat. Happy Cat day everyone! #NationalCatDay

I am ridiculously excited for this! This is by far my favorite of the Xenoblade games. I loved it the first time that I played it and can't wait for this Switch release

I absolutely love my stick from Jasen's Customs. It's beautiful, sturdy, and is in fact custom. I had such a hard time playing on a standard layout and Jasen was awesome enough to make a custom one for me. Go support him and give him a follow. Or better yet, get one of his sticks.

I made Top 8 for Vsav and VF5 last night at Retro Revival! I was super surprised by how well I did in VF considering how new to the game I am but I had loads of fun. Looking forward to running it again in the future

That's ok, I guess I'll just work standing the rest of the day. This is what happens when I walk away from my desk.

I was at it again, making some new trophies for Retro Revival FGC. This time they're for our unofficial side brackets at Combo Breaker. If you're going to CB you should sign up for CvS2 or SFA3. They're totally free and you can win a trophy made by me!

Finished playing Sea of Stars and it was fantastic! It was reminiscent of SNES era RPGs, specifically Chrono Trigger. The story and characters were all light hearted and endearing. I can't recommend this game enough. 9/10

greatkat @greatkat.bsky.social · 31/01/2024

I had such a fantastic time at Frosty Faustings this past weekend! 10/10 would definitely go back next year. ST 0-2 CvS2 1-2 Vsav 0-2 SC2 3-2 SMS 0-2 SFA3 1-2 I feel like I've been making big strides in improving and my losses were significantly closer matches. 😁

greatkat @greatkat.bsky.social · 14/01/2024

I designed and made some new trophies for @retrorevivalfgc.bsky.social I really like how the two layers came out. They were a little snug to put together but I can fix that when I make the trophies for the next monthly. #glowforge #laser #laserengraving

I'm really proud of the fact that I've been consistently making it into the Top 8 for Vsav @retrorevivalfgc.bsky.social This game is starting to become one of my favorites and I always look forward to playing it 🐈‍⬛
