Me likey UOH dodge, great addition #FF_COTW

New from me - Evo's multi year partnership with the Saudi government has left me confused and alienated, but more importantly, it leaves me with a burning question: was I an idiot to believe in this stuff? Or do i just not get the complexity? themsfightingwordsblog.com/2025/02/21/m...

Probably no better answer to the state of Esports is Evo presenting an awards show that is sponsored by Saudi state media lol Not great Bob!

Spent some time writing up a blog post on some team moves in Japan - Shinobism's gaming team ceasing activity, EVA:e's gaming team shutting down, and Storm Kubo signing with Scarz. fugutabetai.com/blog/2025/02... I'll probably make three short videos on each topic, or maybe one mid-sized one?

IDK why I've never seen this fever dream before, but I've been in a fugue state since www.youtube.com/watch?v=38VB...

"Is Gandalf woke?"- the greatest thread in the history of forums, locked by a moderator after 12,239 pages of heated debate,

FFVII: Rebirth is on PC tomorrow and I'm excited for new players to get to experience this great game. Sadly, I think the combat might be a bit dense, and the game isn't great at explaining it all. I want everyone to play like this! There's a lot going on here, so here's a 🧵 breaking it all down:

New from me — Merry Christmas Eve, here's a hearty jingle where I make fun of Infiltration for becoming a pathetic bitch who has to virtue-signal to mutants for engagement. A little something for everyone in this one. themsfightingwordsblog.com/2024/12/24/i...

In the midst of a crashout, Infiltration finally cleared it up: he did *not* stack a bracket for a student in secret. He *did*: -Discuss in a public Discord the idea of a talented student entering his beginner's tournament -Acknowledged it would look bad -Did not stop it 🥴

“the hawk tuah girl has been milkshake ducked by her memecoin” i say as the neurologist schedules me for an emergency MRI

Ain't no way Infiltration started JQ posting his way thru it 💀

i feel like @kinghippo42.bsky.social kinda already nailed a lot of what i have to say about the weird ESWC / saudi shoehorning-in they did during the VF direct, in his various writeups about the royalty kinda buying a monopoly over 'esport' fgs themsfightingwordsblog.com/2023/08/15/t...

I just bought a Haute42 16 button that has more space between the buttons and generic USB passthrough for $55 baby what is you doin
