I was going to keep this short & sweet but I've got a bit too much to say so I'm just going to dump it all in one long tweet. First the tl;dr - I accepted a job offer in Europe & will be moving at the end of the month. It's a big change to be sure, but it's one I've wanted to try for the better part of a decade and I'm extraordinarily excited it's actually happening. It feels weird to be leaving NYC after living here for the last 15 years (the only place I've spent more time was my childhood home in Texas), but I take solace in knowing that I'll be back regularly to visit friends and family. To everyone who came to a WASD Live or a Crossover Arc from the bottom of my heart: thank you. You all made the last five years extraordinarily special in ways I can't adequately express with words. Running locals wasn't always easy--and hell it wasn't always fun--but it was always rewarding. I wish from the bottom of my heart I had someone to hand WASD Lives off to, but as a primarily one man operation, that's unfortunately not in the cards. THAT BEING SAID, don't expect @WASDgaming_gg to just evaporate. All seasons will finish according to schedule (unless something absolutely major happens). Long term, I'll need production help for #GBVSR and #MBTL (>>> if you or anyone you know is interested PLEASE reach out <<<) but I fully intend for both both online series to continue beyond the current season. #UNI2 is on weekends so I should still be able to host those from abroad without too much trouble. @CrossoverArc, as well, is not dead. I still have the drive for it to return in 2026 so please keep an eye out for that. Finally, once I get settled, it would be great to run some European tournaments. I need to do some research and see how saturated the online scene in particular is but I'm almost positive that for at least MBTL and UNI2 there should be enough space for me to run something regular. Finally, I want to leave a note for everyone who has helped as staff over the years: thank you for helping me build WASD into what it is today. Whether you helped with online events or offline, know that I genuinely appreciated each and every minute of work that you put in. I'll be DMing staff separately with proper thank yous, but I'd like to tag some people who have been staples over the years (in no particular order): @Koyo_The_Wolf @RyerOnStream @Triplicate94 @gravyjonesfgc @segajenisis @werberberu @Mysticsuburban1 @Garmfield @gramofdata @Lem___________ @ChrisBardow @MarcForMod @michaeldink @pandabetic__ @jaytsu_ @omegalid @twaaaaaang @shokoodaiquiri

An incredible nine years from our Egyptian King 👑

There is something unLiverpool about Liverpool at the moment. If Klopp was manager he'd have been on the microphone with Robertson and Salah also saying their bit. Instead we got Slot slumped in a chair and LFC afraid to give Salah a microphone in case he said something. And where were John Henry and rest of FSG to show their gratitude to Robertson and Salah who helped make them 100s of millions by adding massive value to the club. Also where was the football guru Michael Edwards, he is getting paid massive amounts of money by LFC and has been missing all season. This is not how Liverpool are meant to be run. UnLiverpool like 👍

Liverpool finish with 60 points. That is less than: • Every full season of the Klopp era (and level on points with 15/16 where he took over midseason). • All 3 of Rodgers' seasons in charge. • Rafa's final season in 09/10. And only 2 points higher than the Hodgson season.

FSG please READ this….. Against the top 9 teams, home and away is 18 games. Liverpool have won 3……. Yes I said 3…… just do the right thing for the club and these players!!!! Because your eyes see and watch exactly what we ALL see. And it’s horrendous.

Dear Arne Slot, Respectfully just leave. Sign the paper tomorrow. We’ve seen enough. Please go. Thanks, All Liverpool fans.

Farewell to Mohamed Salah. A faintly ridiculous 193 goals and 93 assists in the Premier League. 286 goal involvements in 327 appearances — a record surpassed only by Alan Shearer (324) and Wayne Rooney (311), both of whom made at least 100 more appearances. The only player to have been named PFA Player of the Year three times. One of English football’s greatest imports and Africa’s greatest exports. A phenomenon #LFC nytimes.com/athletic/71449…

Diaz saying Salah was one of the first to take him I'm when he joined. Wirtz said the same... But @Carra23 says he doesnt care about the club n it's about him

🚨 Ongoing supply chain attack on Composer packages! We just found multiple laravel-lang/* packages compromised on Packagist (lang, http-statuses, attributes). Payload runs at autoload time. At least 50 package versions were compromised. If you installed a compromised version, the malware already executed. Pin to a clean COMMIT (not version) and rotate secrets immediately. If your lockfile already had an older commit from before today, you are safe. But you should not update at the moment.

@MelancholiAyr I’ll definitely take you up on this! I’ll shoot you a DM.

@ImpurestClub Been doing comms for EU UNI for a long time - lmk if you need someone on the mic!

Anyone know where I can find EU UNI coms? Tried a couple of discords but no luck.

This is how performant PR review could be. On any forge. Pierre is showing us that the only thing holding that back is a skill issue. Excellent ship here! They’re on fire!

Fork your dependencies, trim them to only your use case, never update unless it breaks for your users. I’ve been vocal about this for 10+ years. I’ve always said that updating is way riskier than latent bugs (which can be tracked and CVEs monitored). If you are updating a dependency, it’s on you to analyze every single commit in the full transitive set of dependencies. If you dont see anything compelling, dont update! I remember at HashiCorp once in awhile an engineer would try to update a dep or replace a DIY lib with an external one and id always ask “show me the commit we need.” Dont update for the sake of it. Feeling pretty swell about this mentality with all the supply chain attacks happening.

Julian Nagelsmann on Florian Wirtz’s role for Germany “Unlike some, we know how to use Flo, we will play to his strengths, and you will see the world class player he is.”

@NooneLovesNunz @ChrisRoyceWords I know in my head you're right but I'm hoping with my heart you're wrong 😭

@ChrisRoyceWords I don’t believe this. If the club truly wanted to move on from him, they would’ve done it long ago when Xabi Alonso was literally available and on the market. Why now? I’m waiting for David Ornstein or Fabrizio Romano before taking any of this seriously.

EXCLUSIVE: The Liverpool board have decided NOT to continue with Arne Slot as manager for the 26/27 season. Having previously opted to give Slot more time to turn things around, the decision to sack Slot was made over the weekend following conversations with senior players. #LFC

genuinely blows my mind that the only person to actually listen to Salah’s side of the story is Gerrard, and Gerrard is the only one that’s come out and said that he’s right for saying that standards are slipping. like OPEN YOUR EYES.
