⚠ Technology Consulting Availability ⚠
If you manage or work on a software dev team that could use a highly skilled mercenary to help solve problems, technical or personnel/process in nature, I've got availability for new clients this month.
More info:
Quick reminder that Rivals 2, like every other non-Smash title to release with an upfront price, will be dead on arrival and have a barely discernable community within a matter of months and Brawlhalla will still be hosting 6-7 figure prize pools with tons of signups in 3 years.
Wow, this update is much worse than I thought all around. It's actually mind-blowing that
@Brawlhalla
would release an update in this state with MultiVersus basically about to break down the door trying to steal their playerbase. This is insane.
Anyone peddling NFTs should instantly become a social outcast in the Brawlhalla community. Ostracize the fuck out of these people. Ban them from community servers. Whatever it takes. Get that shit the fuck out of this community.
wrenchd was always a nice kid even back in the day. It sucks to see him bullied like this.
The bandwagoning is fucking crazy. You all took the narrative he was supposedly picking BCX over this kid and ran with it despite everyone knowing he wasn't going to BCX like a month ago.
@GoldenboyFTW
"All you care about is money" in this case is equivalent to saying "You don't care about the ethics of where your money comes from" ... Which is the real problem.
I've seen a lot of really disturbing stuff following the announcement of the trans pride flag in Brawlhalla. It needs to be made clear that type of behavior is not welcome in our community. Hate and intolerance can GTFO. Brawlhalla doesn't need you and we don't want you here.
Was feeling confident in my greatsword and was quickly reminded why
@GDSandstorm
is just on another level. He has the most insane "bad" guns of all time. Could easily be best gun player soon. The dude plays like he can see the fucking matrix. I've never seen anything like it.
One of my uncles passed today from covid. My dad is actively fighting this virus and just had to hear the news that his brother died to it.
And the first thing I see when I open Facebook is some science denier horseshit. I don't think I've ever felt so much pure rage before.
@GDSandstorm
Was a lot of fun watching you come up and dominate. Still hard to believe that I gave scythe tips in ranked to someone who would later go on the most insane winstreak this game will probably ever see.
MVS is gonna be sick. I'm excited for the game and what you'll do in it. GGs.
I've been a vocal critic of
@Brawlhalla
for some time. In ways that I think have made me generally less liked by a lot of devs who were previously cool with me. I have been abrasive at times, but I really do have the utmost respect for the folks in the trenches at BMG. 🧵(1/?)
Hitting those "I just got back from a 3 month break" clips. Thanks to Sting Ray for making this washed up old man feel good about himself for a few mins.
In other news, my wife is pregnant. If you're wondering if a significant portion of my withdrawal from Brawlhalla to focus on work and such is related: Yes. Yes, it is.
I won't be away forever, but I've got a lot to take care of outside of Brawl right now. I'll be back.

@NNRemmy
on analysis has been so good this weekend. Kudos to whoever made that call. More of stuff like this, please.
Bro these banned Brawl players are so fucking stupid it's unreal.
"Why did I get banned?"
Someone posts screenshot of very bannable offense.
"Nah, that's probably not it."
Repeat ad infinitum for like 20+ comments. Just shut the fuck up and get out of the community you loser.
How sad is it that Brawlhalla players are so desperate for performance improvements that we're now having people dig into their Windows registry to make the game playable?
I think if
@GDSandstorm
wins BCX this year, the likelihood of Brawlhalla esports surviving long enough for anyone to beat his win streak officially drops to 0%.
When you nerf random things about overtuned weapons other than what's actually problematic about them, it turns out that nothing changes in the meta. What a novel concept.
Alright, I've fucking had it. Enough.
Let's talk about the fucking justice system and how it regularly fails abuse victims because they either let themselves get gaslit by their abusers or gaslight themselves into thinking "everything's okay" because they're "so in love" and
Final Brawlhalla player status in the MVS 2s tournament:
Matt & Skibuster - 4th
Experience's team - 5th
Blaizzy & paris - 9th
Boomie & Sandstorm - 17th
Synco's team - 17th
Cody Travis & Sting Ray - 17th
wrenchd's team - 25th
Cosolix & Rexehh - 49th
Great showing, guys.
Throwback to when I was the "fastest improving player alive" ... How has it been almost 4 years already? It's actually crazy how much better everyone is now.
People give
@Cosolix
a lot of shit and some of his content ideas are a little out there but he really does come up with original ideas fucking constantly. It's actually kinda wild.
I hate taking pictures, but the holiday set we just got done turned out pretty great. The little man's getting a lot better at the whole picture thing, too.
I didn't really think this day would come, but I will be starting to make a permanent exit from the Brawlhalla community from today. It's was fun but it's about time to move on. This year will definitely be my last BCX so I'm looking forward to hang with as many of you as I can.
Super excited to announce that I've become a

for the 4th episode of Brawlhalla Origins! You can listen to it now on YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and more!
Direct links to the episode are in the reply!
I think the in-game "rank" when you're Top 250 needs to be changed to regional ranking. Why do I care what my "global" ranking is when I can't play against 6 of the 7 regions in the game?
I just found out that I'm losing my job. If anyone's hiring backend PHP devs that have been working primarily in Laravel for the last few years, I'd love to hear about it. Or any other opportunities that might be interesting.

@Brawlhalla
devs that previously followed me have unfollowed me on Twitter. It sucks that you all took my shit talk of the game personally, but I get it. I've been kicking your baby very publicly and loudly for a couple years now.
I didn't want to say anything until we were done signing the lease and the deposits and all were paid, but we found a new house. Will be moving our stuff over the rest of the month. Thanks everyone for the well wishes.
As someone who spent 3 years being one of Brawlhalla's biggest critics on Twitter, you're all spoiled ungrateful little children who frankly don't deserve the amount of love and care that the devs put into this game and community. If you're that unhappy, leave. It's that simple.

Watching top players talk about how little they care about tournament integrity "because it's a community tourney who cares" makes me almost as mad as what happened. That's so disrespectful to the broader competitive community.
So, MultiVersus launches in a week. You wanna hear the funniest misconception that constantly gets repeated about that game's open beta and its impact on Brawlhalla?
"MVS made Brawlhalla wake up and take action"
The reality? BMG was going through an organizational transition
Brawlball is cool and all, but a 3v3 Crew Battle ranked queue activated *during* the pro series would've legitimately been the most hype shit to let the masses play like the pros. It's seriously a HUGE missed opportunity.

Boomie, java, Cosolix, Witty, wrenchd, Llama, Ethan, Santy all in Losers before T32. NA is the most ridiculous region. This entire bracket is just a bloodbath.
Cosolix posted the video, as expected. I think that's the first video on YouTube I've ever bothered to "dislike". I watched it to try to understand why he still thinks what he did is okay and found that he KNEW what he was doing was scummy and still did it anyway for the views.
People give me shit for talking about how good Sandstorm is like most Brawlhalla tournaments since he started winning haven't been 2nd and 3rd fighting tooth and nail for the opportunity to get rolled in Grands. I'm not *that* much of a fan. I'd love to see other people win.
I should try to start sparring top players again more often. That session with
@lolwitty1
yesterday has me thinking there's still a spark in there somewhere that hasn't quite burned out yet.
At the unfortunate consequence of potentially appearing to side with a bunch of absolute fuckheads in the community, I'm having a really hard time seeing why Asmodie isn't also banned with everything that's been revealed. Can someone please clarify what's happening here?
I uninstalled Brawlhalla. I'm not going sit here and pretend I won't be back (everybody comes back) but just in case: Somebody ping me when they get their shit together on the input lag garbage. This shit feels way too bad randomly for no fucking reason for a game this simple.

I guess I enjoy Brawlhalla too much to retire completely. So I'm confirming that I will be playing at CEO Dreamland and BCX at minimum for LANs this year. And I'll also be playing whatever onlines I have time for. I'm also confirmed to be representing
@BxAGaming
for another year.
After 2s this weekend, I'm not playing Brawlhalla until balance patch is released. And if the balance patch isn't significant changes to the most busted weapons, I'm probably done for the year. The game is just not fun right now.
I'm editing and pulling teasers for Baron's episode of Origins, but I'm gonna leak another future guest super early cause some people really need to hear this insight from

! We recorded an interview LIVE at BCX on Championship Sunday. It was a great conversation and I can't wait for you all to see it.

I am once again telling everyone that if I don't know you or we aren't friends and you DM me and ask, "Can I ask you a question?" you have used up your one available question. You won't get to ask your actual question this way.
Don't ask to ask. Just ask.
Just a heads up: if you respond to my tweets about the protests or police violence with a request for metadevs, you're going on a list and will never be allowed to win any giveaway I ever do in the future. Don't be an idiot.

@GDSandstorm
It was genuinely some of my proudest moments in Brawlhalla watching you pull off all that shit that I wasn't able to do myself. You made the weapon shine and I'm happy I was there in the front row for your first BCX win.
He likely has no idea what to do or how to handle this properly at his age.
Whatever the case, it's none of our business and everyone sticking their noses in it should be ashamed of themselves. I'm pretty disappointed. This is a big L for the Brawlhalla community.
I didn't pile onto that PCMag horseshit yesterday in the moment, but damn. That was one of the most embarrassing reviews of a game I think I've ever seen. And the fact that the reviewer went through the effort to try to blur their Lv 1 account and 3-digit gold amount is telling.
Pugsy takes the reasonable position of "if you've ever been a shitty person at all, you're blocked on Twitter" so it's funny watching people expose themselves by complaining that he's blocked them "for no reason" then finding clear reasons with a glance at their profile.

Vibing in exp is hard when you have players take personal offense to losing to an old man, literally play like it's BCX game 5 to try to prevent that, and then blame the other person for returning the energy.
You could just disconnect. There's no penalty. No need to be a dick.
