the other issue with this is that these modern games manufacture these moments so often that it feels like they're not meaningful anymore.

People leaving drinks and empty cups all over the setups including on a sign saying “no drinks on setup” and it honestly pisses me the fuck off

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

The crazy shenanigans with all of this is that I was able to get a flight to Rio (my hometown) after the event and I'll be surprising friends and family unannounced. Crazy that I'm getting an opportunity to do some "hallmark shit" thanks to my career in esports and the FGC.

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.

This weekend proved to me that our connections with each other is that flower growing through the cracks of concrete. Its the oasis in the desert. Somehow, someway, its there in spite of the callous world around it. Post Evo blues is going to hit me like a ton of bricks, its worth it.

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.

60% drop in reviews if people even smell AI on your game - full supports the investors, developers, and publishers that took a hard "no gen-AI" stance, despite grifters' proclamations that they were "going to be left behind".

yikes :(
Instagram post from Loryn Brantz. Text reads,

I am horrified and disgusted by BuzzFeed taking my character, The Good Advice Cupcake, and giving it to an Al platform. My time at BuzzFeed was marked by continually being taken advantage of and lied to. They repeatedly assured me in good faith that they would never do anything with Cuppy without my input, yet offered me no legal options, insisting that I would never need them. The news that this character, who is based on my own personality and whom I created as a microphone to spread love and positivity, has been taken and turned into a soulless Al puppet feels like having my intestines pulled out of my body.
Somebody leaked the news to me early on that there were talks happening, and I pleaded with the CEO Jonah Peretti directly not to do it. Instead, he tried to talk me into signing an NDA. Obviously, I did not.
This is an assault on artists everywhere.
I encourage you to boycott BuzzFeed and any Al-produced or adjacent animation.

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.
