I want it on the record of history that artists realized the harm immediately and were (and continue to be) loud bitches trying to stop the idiots who are out of their minds.
I'm convinced AI is our generation's radium - a discovery with genuinely useful applications in specific, controlled circumstances that we stupidly put in everything from kid's toys to toothpaste until we realised the harm far too late where future generations will ask if we were out of our minds.

I don't like the trend of shows giving you a character's backstory in the opening episode.

Something I love about VGC is being able to be genuinely happy to see people I've met and played against before do well and succeed.

Its funny seeing mainline discussion still think motion controls are bad meanwhile the splatoon devs are like yeah they got so broken we have to nerf the hitboxes.

Picked up my first win in USPL, and took 2nd at a local last Friday, all running Cary D’Ortona's Toronto winning team.

Really proud of myself for picking up a new team this quickly.

Now to catch up on the other 3 regionals that happened this past weekend.

crazy to think how i struggle to ask for any kind of help but the president of the united states asks "can i have your nobel peace prize?"

Still the team I'm most proud of; wish I had discovered Basculegion before NAIC last year.

Very much considering doing a full team report on it, depending on how high I can get on the Reg I ladder, I just might.

Still the best Kyoger + Lunala player of the S/V era tho.

🌐 I teased the idea of a Wes titan pin a while ago but I revisited the design and gave him his companions. This is one of three sets that will be preorder only and limited edition! The main banner of titan pins will also have replacements later this year :)
