teams have this tournament. As much as I enjoyed Sabre in interviews it’s clear he never quite fit with the other four. So after a really rough International and initial tournaments this season it’s been fun to watch them cook.

Thanks for coming to BW drank a cocktail and now posts about esports.

and Nisha and Boxi are so so good and while I do miss Insania it’s clear how tofu and Ace are starting to really figure out how to play their own games while also fitting into a really established group. I’m still a day behind and honestly I worry Spirit will make them work harder than most other

the worst of my burn out. But it’s weighing on me a lot as thanksgiving/Christmas/birthday approach. All days I find somewhat overwhelming now.

There’s no point to this but I made a Manhattan and am alone tonight and thinking about stuff. And this, much like my old Twitter, is just my livejournal.

Which is unpleasant, but also that sort of unpleasantness is in many ways the price of being able to live here, a thing I’m grateful for as I went from making tech project manager money to below the poverty line and still struggle working more than 25 hours a week even 3 years post

non huangpian version of this tea back then. that cake was bonkers but I think it was like $180 dollars for a cake and I decided that was too much. Oh to have that kind of spending ability again.

I generally enjoy huangpian but in this case, eh. still enjoyable but not notable sadly.
