My first "vacation" in about 5 years, and my first time back in my home country in almost 20 years. I will miss this magical place (which is magical because I don't live here so I dont experience the bad) if it wasn't for the FGC, I would not have had this opportunity

Only sharing this news here. But, thanks to the work I'm doing for SNK this year, I'm getting flown out to Komite in São Paulo. This will be the first time I'll be back in my home country I. Almost 20 years.

I'm sorry to hear about the treatment and discrimination the trans community has to endure today on the last day of pride month. While many continue to disrespect you or even refuse to acknowledge you exist at all, you'll always be welcomed and treated with respect at FF or any other events I host.

No battle is more grueling than our own mental health. Though it leaves us beaten, scarred, and bruised in more ways than one, its worth fighting through to experience life. Things are way more complicated than they should be, but this weekend proved to me that....

When something is built on top of a strong foundation, in spite of the world changing, you still get glimpses into the essence you're enamored with. This is FGC. This is passion.

Symbolically, Geese have represented togetherness, community, and teamwork, so this lil guy seeing us off is the perfect cherry on top of an incredible weekend, thank you FGC, thank you @thehadou.com and @eidelonn.bsky.social , I dont think I'm the only person that needed CB this weekend

To everyone I ran into, chatted with, cried with, laughed with, hugged, fist bumped, and played games with this weekend, thank you. I needed this. For now, this old man is calling it a night. I'm more heartbroken than usual that Combo Breaker is over, but I'll see y'all at Evo

I started every morning with a run of crazy taxi and a game of the host busters pinball table this weekend. This was such a dope space to reminisce and enjoy a vibe that has been less prevalent in our world

I often feel self conscious about the fact that I travel alone mostly, but seeing so many friendly faces and getting to interact with so many diverse people about our mutual love is why I fell in love with the fgc. Even watching finals day stuff is sick!! Thanks @combobreaker.org

I don't believe creators can remain naive and assume their content has no impact on the perception of a brand and its products. Watching things in years...not days, I am reminded of what consistency can do to a community, and its stewards. I wish we'd stop forgetting this is 1 boat.

Local paper ran a story about Ludovic's detention by ICE. Seeing the photos of his empty apartment with trophies from tournaments I attended or watched gives it all another dimension. This guy has a life, friends and did everything he was asked to do. Abolish and prosecute is the bare minimum.

The article briefly mentions it, but personally I don't care what Lud's status was. Every post about his situation has wriggling weirdos underneath asking about it & I reject the xenophobic premise of their question. Immigrants are a positive good and Lud should be celebrated, safe, & protected

They took one of our own. He was there to renew his work VISA. He was doing things “the right way,” and they took him anyway. We will not rest until we get him home. #FREELUD Full article linked below.

This is why I'm #FuckIce all day, everyday. People can do everything correctly and still be betrayed by the systems put into place. Register to vote, pay attention to local elections, get these "game makers" out of here, and put in people who actually care about us. #FreeLud.
