Do NOT engage. Do not quote dunk, do not screencap. Do not @ with your witty zingers. Give them not one breath of oxygen here.

Block, ignore, move on.

They’re congratulating each other for hitting iron rank and vowing to only become stronger, and we’re over here complaining about OD fan.

Which does need to be nerfed. But there’s so much joy in this hobby that we can’t afford to lose.

And posts from Japanese players are overwhelmingly like:

I don’t know what happened to my algorithm, but I’m suddenly seeing way more posts in Japanese of new players celebrating milestones like landing a combo for the first time or hitting gold rank, and it is beyond refreshing. Everybody cheering each other on. 🥹

I’m a brand partner with them. I’ll be reaching out with my thoughts.

Writing a three-headed cat into my reimagining would’ve been a little too on-the-nose for a sapphic romance, but this dork’s personality still found its way in.

Can I get more information on this please?

I'm still a tiny YouTube channel that barely earns any revenue (save for when people use my Zenni code,) but I just got a notification that my channel hit 10,000 hours of watch time.

Humbled. Motivated. Thanks, FGC.

Most satisfying ranked match of the night.

Played poorly in No God No Neutral, going 1-2 against Ultimate Master Elena and Akuma. Also plummeted MR during the tournament, dropping all the way back into High Master...

...before violently winstreaking multiple times and regaining 1800 by stream's end. Nice.

Progress.

Got another rejection from a basic customer service job today that never even interviewed me, while the government continues debating if they should gut my health insurance, and I am simply not having a good time, chat. I don’t know what any of us are expected to do.

Thanks for not assuming it was malicious! I’m block-happy over there because it’s a terrible website lol

Doesn’t mean there won’t be future hot takes on the channel, but I have neither the energy nor the motivation to see worthwhile value in hammering this one point home right now. People will be kind or they won’t.

Thought about it and discussed with some friends and decided not to make this one. I already said what I wanted to say on socials, and nobody who was hostile there is suddenly going to be open-minded to a long-form video version. Gonna focus on making things that bring me joy.

Debating if I actually want to make a high-quality video re: Viper, execution, and modern controls—to potentially either get low views, or just get yelled at like I’m not a real person for days on end.

Become visible enough online, and people treat you like a cartoon character.

Finally streaming an attempt at No God No Neutral tonight at 8 PM EST! Win or lose, should be good practice and a fun time.

A little more about Kori, the bisexual heroine of BETWEEN SUN AND SHADOW that I introduced with her flag yesterday!

I didn’t even know a new Pokémon game was coming out, I really fell off keeping up with Nintendo in adulthood despite still loving a lot of their stuff

Oops, forgot to post yesterday… 😅 Kicking off a fun little trio of posts with my book cast’s pride flags! 🏳️‍🌈

I’m bisexual myself, so writing Kori’s just made sense. 🩷💜💙 Despite her awkwardness, I still think she’s better at flirting than I am sometimes. 😂

It’s not over till it’s over.

He definitely could’ve checkmated me with 5LK xx L Jinrai after the overhead that hit, and then he had multiple opportunities to super, but people don’t expect you to play aggressive when you’re this close to dead.

Also down 60 MR, but considering what a bad night this has been, still holding around 50% and ending the night at 1750 really isn't that bad. I just hate feeling like I have these breakthroughs alongside nevertheless continuing to fail really simple knowledge checks.
