Very real struggle. I’m thankful for my closest friends who aren’t going to go away if I stop indulging in a hobby or split my time with a new one, they’re always a consistent emotional center in my life which has helped me find a sense of belonging and of who I am.

Happy Ace Week! 🖤🩶🤍💜

I didn’t know you were bag of rice posting! Now that I’ve gotta see

Had a great time running another Hitfall! As always couldn’t have done it without the help of my co-tos @oldmanspidey.peterparker1.com and @nemmysis.bsky.social. I’m so proud of what we accomplish each and every time. 🎉

All the thanks and appreciation too, for both other staff and the community. ❤️

Though personally I never found much use in Multibind or Spool Extender I love that others find it useful (YouTube videos, one of my discord friends) because it really shows good emergent game design that each player is able to find a way they feel like they are playing with the strongest combo.

In blue, poison tools + double tools is a really cheesy combo I liked, weavelight is pretty essential for late game platforming, fractured mask saved my butt a bunch, and the poison water resistance is a much needed QoL equip. Also found a lot of love for Druid’s Eye (though it’s worse than in HK).

Using the magnet most of the game left me with thousands of extra rosaries I had no use for after I bought everything. And it felt very freeing to swap stuff out and find out how strong some of the tools I was overlooking were because the in-game doesn’t explain it well. Try experimenting!

I made this because I was mildly annoyed at a YouTube video

Game peaks around Clockwork Dancers part of Act 2 and pretty much every boss from there is genuinely great

We tried something new with the trophies this year, entirely made by us!

In the past we’ve used acrylic boxes and components made by other manufacturers we bought off Amazon, but these were wholly designed and manufactured by the Hitfall team.

I hope our attendees enjoy the new designs!

Challengers: Eve, The Empathetic Just about a decade ago, Melee seemed like it was heading toward something big. The Smash Brothers documentary came out and was a resounding success story. Everybody knew the Five Gods, Leffen, and…

i was lucky enough to be interviewed by rainy and have it be published by melee stats, if you all would give it a read it would mean the world to me meleestats.co/challengers-...

Take the time you need to take care of yourself. Sending positive vibes.

Probably up there for one of the coolest things we’ve got to do at a Hitfall, early access to a character. So thankful for the opportunity and I hope people really enjoy it. :)

🌃 HITFALL 4 ANNOUNCEMENT ⚡

Our Hitfall Absa-themed acrylic standees, beautifully illustrated and by ‪@chaokocartoons.bsky.social‬, are making a return! They will be available for purchase for $20 each at THG Arena during tournament weekend, October 4th-5th!

How dumb 🤔

I try not to promote too much stuff on Bluesky but these are some of the coolest things we’ve had the opportunity to create for Hitfall. It’s always incredible to see these skins in motion and know that a part of me is in there. :)

You’re not the only one! I’m horrible at it too. Maybe we need a shy club or something.

Read about this in the latest 2600 issue, was excited to try to build my own node. Thanks for making the project available! Another incredible release by the cDc.🐄

Congratulations!! So happy for you both after all these years. ❤️

Kitten update. Turned it over to local Animal Services for the weekend, they’re checking if she has an owner/is chipped, doing health checks and determining if she’s able to be adopted. I signed to have first dibs if she’s going to be looking for a forever home.

So a very friendly stray kitten followed me for my (intended to be) very short walk this evening. They were friendly and seemed healthy so I carried them into my apartment to take care of for the evening so I can find a shelter for them tomorrow. Trying not to get too attached.

Awesome run! Great commentary from both you and the couch. Glad you got to have that opportunity. :)

Let's go birdwatching 🪶🫶

Kept seeing birds going over to this fence near my office. Decided to check it out and there was wild blackberries! What a treat to snack on with lunch. :)

Message that reads: Announcement!!! In lieu of an official RCS top 50 NA ranking for Rivals of Aether 1 this year, Willow, Meechole, windy, 2JANK, and I will be putting together an NA ranking of our own! We are trying to keep this pretty loose in general, so here is what the current plan is: - Any RoA1 tournament, online or offline, that manages to hit at least 25 entrants in current year (and is in NA) will be considered. Online events will be weighted less during panel decisions but still considered. - Players need to attend 3 tournaments minimum to qualify, and at least 2 of those need to be offline. - At the end of the year we will form a panel to rank the top 25 players. - We're counting tournaments that already happened this year because we need everything we can get. - We're keeping track of tournaments on braacket, if we are missing any please let us know: https://braacket.com/league/2025RoA1NA That's all, thank you!

A family of 3, outlined in green, hide behind a roaring bear, as large foreboding black shadows with nightsticks and helmets lurk behind it. A green star outstretched at their feet as they try to hide from view. Text at the bottom reads in call caps: "SHIELD YOUR NEIGHBORS"
