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

going in as blind as possible is my strategy for movies in general and it usually works pretty well. i haven't seen any of the fandom stuff but they're definitely missing out on a fun time!

Adding some context to this: Rascal's membership peaked in January this year at around 2500 subscribers. This was due to our 1$ sale in December where around 300 people signed up. But ever since then, it's been a steady decline... (1/x) bsky.app/profile/rasc...

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!

remember when Meta completely lied about user engagement with videos when they were only counting the two seconds of auto play before the video was paused as someone actually watching?
