Appreciate it! I'm trying to plot with Jason right now to do more, we have plans, just hard to find the bandwidth to execute everything

But we want to make the comments stronger, I think they're important

Trying to keep everyone sane! Definitely days when I'd rather scream into the void too, but having a space where we can be adults is important

I'm really trying my best to lose myself in learning and doing projects. I'm 3D printing all the things, I'm CNCing wood, I'm laser etching and cutting leather and fabric, I'm learning how to sew, and today going to try embroidery for the first time

Meanwhile Friday at my job looks like this 🫠

How Run the Mix Created a Strong Community Space | Evo | The Ultimate Fighting Game Tournament The biggest fighting game tournament in the world returns. Get all the details on Evo’s three action-packed days plus the crowning of new World Champions.

It's worth pointing out that Evo has been making a point of highlighting local scenes

Every bit helps. Here in SoCal we've never recovered from WNF and eSports Arena closing, despite our strong player base

As with so many things we're still learning how covid fucked us, but aside from venues closing during lockdown there's a whole new generation that really only knows online, and doesn't value the offline experience

Rollback really is a double-edged sword, and has hurt the new player pool for locals

Piece of shit ICE fascists are swarming Little Tokyo. Posted up outside the Japanese American Museum threatening people with internment. Impossible to overstate how disgusting these people are.

The hypocricy accusations always feel rooted in this silly fantasy that if you just point it out to them they'll feel shame and cower away

Trump doesn't care, and isn't capable of feeling shame

My favorite thing about modern personal manufacturing is the ability to iterate without waiting for the turnaround time, it's such a huge change

Obviously 3D printers the poster child for that, but this is a great example of how smart design is always a part of the process too

Now crickets are small enough to slip through some ducting or vents at least, the duck is large enough to represent what feels like a legit security breach

Why Does No One Understand the Real Reason Trump Won? It wasn’t the economy. It wasn’t inflation, or anything else. It was how people perceive those things, which points to one overpowering answer.

These right wingers constantly acting afraid of their own shadows are just following the script

Right wing media sells fear, and the foot soldiers go out and promote it

It's the same reason Fox News wants you to think crime rates only go up, it's a useful narrative

The most valuable thing I learned from this was to remove barriers that increase the time it takes to iterate on failed designs.

Our current design would have saved us at least 8 months of just waiting.

Here’s a BTS talking about how we cut the iteration time down to 3-4 days.

Discord being real time really makes it a different beast I think?

I mean, I do use it that way, but it's pretty hard to not just be part of "whatever people are talking about in the moment" there

I do think that we need to define what "local" means better and strive for it

The panic is absolutely glorious. I think this just became one of the highlights of my life.

I recognize the irony of using social media to say this, but I honestly think we're cooked

I don't see how the fuck we escape this

If I had a dollar for every person who told me we could not *possibly* enact even the most reasonable gun control laws because otherwise true patriots would not be able to stop this scenario that is happening right now regardless I would be one of the oligarchs
