today I played in my first VGC regional (as well as first in-person tournament and first w OTS and Bo3), going 4-4. i hoped for a positive record so I did end up short. however, I recognized the turns where I went wrong in two of the matches & I think I know what I want to do re: prep for next time

Do I have moots in games or games journalism who would want to help out with a charity stream and feel like they could "teach" something? Can be things like "how to design a character" or even like "how to speedbuild in Minecraft." The options are endless. Please DM me! Signal boost!

Repeat after me, every sport has biological advantages: - tall people play basketball - short people gymnastics - fighting sports literally have weight classes Many sports are also gated to protect men’s ego: diving, all shooting sports, golf, distance running, fighting..

Pride Month is not about me but I want to share a story. 🧵 At age 14, I toured with a local company of Evita around the northeast for 6 weeks. There were 3 straight guys in the company: Che Guevara, Juan Peron & me, the only boy. For a socially awkward suburban kid, this was a challenge.

If you've ever gotten a ribbon from Minh over all the MagicCons and Gen Cons the last several years, give this a read. Kinda sucks and feels like it takes away from community effort rather than contributing to it. They should have included him in their decision to start giving out badge ribbons.
