10 years down. To the friends, peers, crew, players, fans, hoodie buyers, and everyone else who has made CB possible, thank you. It is a privilege to make these events with y’all.
Forever home in the heartland.
Finally found the time to put together my album for Combo Breaker.
Find it here: linktr.ee/mantacore
What really is there left to say? Amazing Major, Amazing Games, and Even More Amazing People.
See everyone again soon. Till next time~~~
@combobreaker.org
Damn I really have been playing expedition 33 instead of grinding fighting games for combo breaker next week.
I’m so cooked
@diyfgc.bsky.social The first DIY event was absolutely incredible. I hope I captured even a fraction of the love and care the staff put into making it so special. Looking forward to seeing it even bigger and better next year~
Hope everyone enjoys the photos!

Been busy catching up with some of my event photos recently but finally got around to @jonyfraze.bsky.social Beatdowns and Beers last week.
Amazing weather, with even better company. Cant wait for the next one~

Finally got around to getting my Iron Grid XXXII photos up, thank you @irongridnj.bsky.social for another banger of a monthly, looking forward to seeing everyone at the next one!
Check the photos at: linktr.ee/mantacore
Oh…. Expedition 33 might be the one, absolutely got pulled in literally within the first 5 minutes. The game is shaping up to be fucking incredible
Damn I really just gotta lock in
Absolutely been obsessed with Marathon recently, had to re watch a ton of lore videos on it. A sucker for a good art direction but really really hope the game loop is solid not 100% sold on the extraction shooter approach quite yet
Stopped by the store and I swear this reminded me of a certain character…..
Damn anime really do be back Lazarus AND Gundam this week. Peak is back on the menu
