Esteban Martinez @thebesteban.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Traveling for the next month for work. Lucky to be in the position I'm and hope to keep earning my keep everyday, but it's getting harder and harder to stay rested with all the time zone hoping as I get older. Not to mention it zaps me of energy for any fun project work. 161
Esteban Martinez @thebesteban.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Did awful at Reality Fracture prerelease 😅 Balancing my competitive nature with my shyness (I'm more introverted than I show) along with my (probably unhealthy) expectations for myself is rough. Sometimes I feel like I come off as a dick but I'm really just crashing out in my head haha. 240
Esteban Martinez @thebesteban.bsky.social · 22/09/2026Watching movies in Japan is too good. The experience is unmatched. The Odyssey was fantastic btw. 130
Esteban Martinez @thebesteban.bsky.social · 22/09/2026Out in Tokyo for work but got a chance to compete in Judgement Day 9, the largest Vampire Savior tournament in Japan! It’s a 3v3 style tournament and our team made it to round 2 which is really good! Want to keep playing so I can keep up with the players out here. They’re so strong. 0142
Esteban Martinez @thebesteban.bsky.social · 18/09/2026Checking out the new Beep location aka @guilewinquote.bsky.social the store 2152
Esteban Martinez @thebesteban.bsky.social · 18/09/2026Magfest pass secured. Excited to not remember that weekend come January. 0100
Esteban Martinez @thebesteban.bsky.social · 16/09/2026Working out of Tokyo for the next week and change and then hunting down expensive cardboard in my free time Pray for my wallet 050
Esteban Martinez @thebesteban.bsky.social · 09/09/2026Magfest dates announced for the weekend before Evo Singapore Finna take that flight with a hangover 030
Esteban Martinez @thebesteban.bsky.social · 07/09/2026Almost cleared my first 19 today. Lots of travel coming up. Hope I can keep up this effort on the road. 030
Esteban Martinez @thebesteban.bsky.social · 04/09/20263Y3S CSP clear! Wild to see this amount of progress. Now that I’ve hit my targets, I wonder what my next DDR goal will be 130
Esteban Martinez @thebesteban.bsky.social · 03/09/2026Reconnecting with my hobbies and their communities has me on cloud 9. Real easy to get bogged down in negativity when algorithms and monetization reward it, but remember it's mostly people talking out of their asses Gaming rules 080
Esteban Martinez @thebesteban.bsky.social · 28/08/2026In the span of 6 weeks I’ve gone from not being able to clear an 18 to having cleared my 12th today Score needs a lot of work, but happy for the progress I’ve made so far 160
Esteban Martinez @thebesteban.bsky.social · 14/08/2026Shoutouts to the guy I played on Arena last night who spammed “good game” because he thought his life gain deck was unbeatable. Until he realized Yuna wasn’t playing around and he couldn’t kill me before decking out. 080
Esteban Martinez @thebesteban.bsky.social · 05/08/2026Reached 18th Dan today on World. My MA is a mess at higher levels, but it’s cool to see so much progress in just 4 or so weeks. Want to keep pushing! 170
Esteban Martinez @thebesteban.bsky.social · 02/08/2026Welp, new goal unlocked. Furthest I’ve made it so far. If I can make it through that second section I think I can clear 050
Esteban Martinez @thebesteban.bsky.social · 02/08/2026Rough week for my mental health, but the random Magic pack purchase at Target is a good sign my luck is turning around 130
Esteban Martinez @thebesteban.bsky.social · 30/07/2026Teaming up once again with the folks over at @colosseumlive.bsky.social to put on another fun weekend of fighting game fun for charity. Lookinf forward to the show next weekend! 042
Esteban Martinez @thebesteban.bsky.social · 26/07/2026Two new 18 clears today! Not the cleanest runs, but I don't think I could've passed either of these (espeically on the first try) a few weeks ago. Practice is paying off. 040
Esteban Martinez @thebesteban.bsky.social · 20/07/2026After many years of on and off playing (admittedly unfocused) I finally crossed one of my goals off my list: Over the Period ESP cleared! Many thanks to @ambones.bsky.social for the help with getting to this point. It’s just a start, but feels good. 0151
Esteban Martinez @thebesteban.bsky.social · 18/07/2026I am very excited for Magic: The Gathering in 2027 030
Esteban Martinez @thebesteban.bsky.social · 08/07/2026Just got out of bed. Not sure if this is depression or my body realizing it hasn't had a break in five years. I'll figure it out after some Wawa. 180
Esteban Martinez @thebesteban.bsky.social · 04/07/2026Spending my Independence Day being dependent on my bed because I’m catching up on all the sleep I lost at Evo Good night 080
Esteban Martinez @thebesteban.bsky.social · 23/06/2026I think it’s clear that my ability to tackle 12/13s is pretty sharp. Want to get this kind of consistency in the 14 - 16 range next while also working on building stamina/endurance to regularly clear 18s. Got work to do after Evo 020
Esteban Martinez @thebesteban.bsky.social · 23/06/2026Def need a bit of a reset once I get out of Evo. Haven't been too kind to myself in the lead up to the event and I'm feeling it. Hopefully will get to have some good times this weekend to counter that, tho. 160
Esteban Martinez @thebesteban.bsky.social · 10/06/2026Been quietly grinding DDR when I can using @life4ddrbot.bsky.social for progress. My stamina isn’t what it used to be, so I’ll be pushing myself harder post Evo. 020
Esteban Martinez @thebesteban.bsky.social · 01/06/2026What do you mean Utada Hikaru had a track on the Rush Hour 2 soundtrack? youtu.be/e-hAiYFY_is?...youtu.beHikaru Utada ft. Foxy Brown - Blow My WhistleYouTube video by Bacomusic 161
Esteban Martinez @thebesteban.bsky.social · 16/05/2026Pulling a $200+ card and then going 2-0-1 in my first SOS paper draft has me feeling great today Will gladly take those W's 040
Esteban Martinez @thebesteban.bsky.social · 14/05/2026I haven’t played DDR or in-person Magic in like 3 weeks. I’m fiending 020
Esteban Martinez @thebesteban.bsky.social · 14/04/2026Learning UNI2 has been a pretty humbling experience. I'm probably putting too much pressure on myself to perform adequately, but it's been fun sitting down with a game and seeing myself learn in real time. I dunno if Ill keep playing (the combos are SO long), but I think I needed this experience 280
Esteban Martinez @thebesteban.bsky.social · 08/04/2026Haven’t been able to play DDR since Japan and was feeling down about my level of play there. Played a quick game recently to see where I currently stand. PFC on Jam & Marmalade. Turns out when I actually get some sleep I perform better. Who knew? 150
Esteban Martinez @thebesteban.bsky.social · 06/04/2026Life is moving too fast lately and I’ve been a bit scattered. Privileged to live how I do, but I’ve def put a ton of miles on my body and mind these past few years. I’m someone that wants to give 100% in everything he does, but I stretch myself too thin too often. Need to focus on my needs more 080
Esteban Martinez @thebesteban.bsky.social · 15/03/2026People die, and Esteban dances. Gotta work off the highballs from last night 040
Esteban Martinez @thebesteban.bsky.social · 11/03/2026Trying to play DDR while still a bit jet lagged is something else. But showing up is what’s most important 1100
Esteban Martinez @thebesteban.bsky.social · 06/03/2026Rolled credits on RE9. Still need to fully process how I feel about the game, but I had a fun time with it. Probably will have more fleshed out thoughts after I recover from jet lag (and possibly do another run) 050
Esteban Martinez @thebesteban.bsky.social · 01/03/2026Started RE9 and somehow 4 hours flew by. This game rips. 0110
Esteban Martinez @thebesteban.bsky.social · 01/03/2026It is 2026 and I'm ending most of my nights playing Overwatch. Wtf? 010
