Junebug

Explaining to my tattoo artist that I'm ranked #27 in the world in Super Smash Bros Melee

slay the spire 2 co op is hilarious man what do you mean i have all this and @TheFrostPrime has 67 claws

um. what did we just wake up to

in celebration of Spire 2 coming out tomorrow, i did one last a20 watcher run and did whatever i wanted and of course it worked cuz watcher

@rishissb @daramgaria @lloD74 When in Rome...

@daramgaria @lloD74 @arJunebug It was too much

I was convinced by @lloD74 and @arJunebug to go for this 10-course wagyu dinner. "Pick the most expensive option" they both told me. We were the only people there. The beef was very good. This morning I felt like throwing up. The chef made us little origami thank you notes. 10/10

@rishissb @lloD74 So worth right??? @ViciousVish we found it

The Spire awakens once more in Steam Early Access on March 5, 2026! ⚔️ New characters, enemies, environments & more await you in Slay the Spire 2, the sequel to the iconic roguelike deckbuilder. Will you attempt the climb alone... or enlist the aid of your fellow adventurers?

@oster30 There will always be a better controller, a better shoe, a better tennis racket, etc. There is no controller that people can touch and magically become leagues better than you at melee (besides illegal ones with macros/unnerfed box maybe) Game is hard

@arJunebug yea but its getting crazier by day, eventually this would be a race of who has the best controller setup and no whos the best ssbm player

Fun research project by Fiction! Also even though I was category one, feel like it doesn't fully encapsulate my thoughts. As a Brawl/PM player, I think button remapping should just be available for everyone lol

Almost 2 months into playing Galv and I'm having even more fun than before, this dino is so sick

My heart goes out to the developers at 2XKO. Fighting games are a tough genre even when you have a killer team and make a lot of great choices. We know it for sure as we let go of a quarter of our team this past month so our company could stay operational. Social media has made this kind of news worse, because everyone is so sure they know best and they feel obligated to share it to the void. But there are hundreds of reasons behind any success or any failure in this industry. Little details within the control of the development team and some outside their control that determine which games succeed and which games struggle. Go read any discourse on social media when a game shuts down or a new game pops off. You’ll find people simplifying down to one reason that makes sense from their perspective. This game was free to play and this one wasn’t. This game was 2d and this game was 3d. This game had too many samey characters and this game didn’t have enough. This game was too similar to that other game I like and this game was too different. But the truth is somewhere in between all those opinions. And there are likely many more reasons outside the common discourse, which often focuses on the surface level issues. We see so much more discussion around negative news because people feel validated when something didn’t click with them. You see less people arguing why Street Fighter 6 or Fortnite are doing great because “it’s obvious.” But if you asked 10 people who play those games why they like them, you might get 10 different answers. But the way social media rewards sharing dunks and I-told-you-so’s and arguing about them as much as possible only creates a bigger rift between developers and players. Developers know what they were able to achieve with the time and resources they had. They know what their strong points are and where they wish they could improve. What they don’t know is if the good aspects will resonate enough to make up for the bad or allow them the funds to improve the game as time goes on. Fans have the benefit of hindsight in a lot of these cases and even then, you can find so many takes that age like milk when a game has a great launch week then tails off or struggles out the gate then builds up momentum over time. I guess what I’m trying to say in this long rant is that maybe Sakurai was onto something when he asked Max Ketchum if he had ever made a game. I’d also like to say good luck to all those affected in today’s layoffs. If I was in a position to hire anyone, I would be sending messages right now. But unfortunately fighting games are hard and we’re only focused on keeping our team together for our next big update.

@DawsonTruu Sorry!!!!

They picked up two players who beat me in a Cashbox man 💀

Proud of my student!!! Getting a sponsor at 14 is wild lol. Excited for the future of Donkey Kong

We raised $7,780.00 for @ThePCRF over the course of the six day marathon stream with @KrudoKyle Thanks so much everybody Free Palestine

@SSBMagi he already has...

it's important to understand that melee is like dark souls and there will always be another chosen undead to relink the flame. MLG, HMW, samox and his 5 gods, fizzi. even through the ages of dark, the cycle continues. soon rapmonster will reach the kiln and put an end to junebug

I entered my first tournament 20 years ago and got absolutely destroyed. I trained hard, hoping one day I could reach the top. I created a smash club, wrote improvement guides, coached, and yet couldn't reach the highest echelon... Until now... Officially Top 10 in the world 🫡

@officiallyramc Aka I wish someone were to engage with calling panelists braindead in good faith? Think a couple replies did that tbh MOF had a sick season but also had some questionable losses so I can see both sides. The post still incredibly rude tho She good w/ me tho, we squashed beef

@arJunebug hmm i wonder what the replies have to say about the weight of genesis and supernova versus better placements at shared competitions- oh they're all just calling her crazy cool

"Hello everyone my number is lower than it's supposed to be. I'm actually top 20 instead of top 25 in the world? how could the panelists make such a huge, biased, and emotional mistake? they shoulda agreed with me cuz I'm a logical level headed adult with no biases whatsoever."

@MaxKetchum_ u got this king

Been blowing off steam by shitposting and bullying JD Vance

Hosting a major -> immediately beginning an expedited course that condenses 5 weeks of material into 5 days to get a necessary license for my job -> taking one of the exams today Undoubtedly one of the most stressful months of my life but it all ends today (assuming I pass)
