If I had a nickel for every time
@AvoidThePuddle
called me a scrub cameraman, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot but it's pretty funny that it happened twice lmao.
I've seen all the compliments for my KBDs and all I gotta say is- thank you!
Gonna wait til all the photo albums go out- taking a break for now but oddly in the mood to stream this week so fuck it
But check out
@AvoidThePuddle
talk shit about my inability to walk up stairs backwards.
(Yes, I didn't know I was running through the camera frame lmao)
Learned that negative edge is off by default.
It's not in the general control settings in character select (img1). Instead, is in the game settings, for each player (img2)
TOs, stage managers, players should be attentive to this as we get into the groove for running SF6

@_MenaRD__
absolutely fucking out here. Congrats absolutely.
His anecdote about the next generation, the youth, really resonated with me. Excited for the future and hope people in the right places really hone in on that part.
"My brother went to a tournament and I was so nervous because it was the first time any of my family went to an event. It was for two thousand dollars, and I went 0-2. I was so mad. I cried for like, four hours." -
@Zaferino1
I never liked that Guilty Gear (+R/Xrd) was considered a hard game, where imo it’s pretty baby game and good chunk of the cast has a very open ended and easy to execute gameplans
I think people just sucked at teaching and explaining concepts
Also top tiers but ignore that LOL
I'm very excited to officially announce an interview series, Character Select!
Our first character,
@Zaferino1
, talks about Red Bull Conquest Boston, getting over generational pressures, and "being in the moment".
You can check it out here at
I leave y’all with this til I get the

Album done.

Love y’all and thx for being silly af.
Much love to everyone I met, talked, and worked with at
#CB2024
Between camera work on main stage and organizing last minute plans for my first sponsored player ever- I’d say it was a stressing yet engaging weekend.
My next event is
#CEO2024
- but gotta make sure Defi is set
Happy to say I’ll be at ComboBreaker 2023 again as a cam op 🎥 for the main stage!
It’s honestly a blessing to be part of the event through such a role once again.
Time to catch some mighty pop offs and emotional embraces 😤
New EVO, new role, and an earlier schedule to start the week. Hopefully will have time and opportunity to see people 🙏🏻
Best wishes to my friends competing, working, and surviving the heat!
Where the late night OPTCG sessions at tho 👀???
If you’re losing, tight about your loses, but don’t put yourself in the position to learn or engage with people in your region who are beating you - you’ve only but yourself to blame.
Growth and success comes from environment just as much as individual strength.
I love you guys- but this late registration shit is getting on my nerves!
@BostonBlueBeat
is opening reg for the one time.

@ImpurestClub
, get him on GQ Mag LMAO.
ECT retrospective this week. Night ain’t done yet 😪
Also cop the ECT merch!!!
3am thoughts.
Anthony Bourdain-influenced FGC video series about meeting a respectable figure in a regional community, and eating at the local staple spot while you talk random topics.
Someone make it happen before I do, and if you do, be prepared for me making a better one.
We’re about a week away before we kick into Late Registration! (7/1) ⏱️
Whether you’re entering
#SSBU
,
#UNI2
,
#SF6
or any of the games in our lineup, save yourself a few bucks!
🏕️
Happy to say that we’ll be sponsoring Defiant for the upcoming summer season!
Catch him at Combo Breaker, Dreamhack Dallas, EVO, and…. maybe CEO lmao.
Much love to
@Rysair_
and
@_wheeI_
for drafting the graphic last minute, and a pat on the back to myself for getting this
Honestly forgot this existed,
But here is my
#CEO2021
Photo Album.
Didn’t do a lot of photo work- mainly wanted to focus on streaming the +R side tournament.
Got some nice pics of DBFZ and +R tho.
Will put out my small

album later this week.
I decided to make a

See who is attending, what and when they're playing, and their seed!
Big thanks to

Bless up to everyone at
#ECTPIT21
, but especially to
@RellFGC
for blessing me with the street portrait of myself and the bf!
He had a great time and everyone was nice to him, so I don’t gotta kill anyone this time around :)
Very tiny, small, bite sized

Next plans for events is

@LunarPhaseProd
Crossover-Arc, so we’ll see how that plays out.
Only my close friends know, but it’s been about, maybe 6-7 years since I celebrated my birthday. I don’t really find it important to do so.
However, I made a move around the same time, so I’m celebrating both I suppose!
They drove up from RI to see me off 😭
A new future!
Buzzed enough to say.
I really miss my boyfriend. Long distance relationships are hard.
We see each other at CEO.
I wanna introduce all of Boston FGC and more to him.
Weh.
Some of you may have already known, but-
I'll be working
#EVO2022
! Extreme gratitude to
@evo
&
@tenomedia
for the opportunity.
Additional shoutouts to
@WHMeloDe
&
@BGCallisto
for somehow being the catalyst of my current esports career circa 2022. Midwest, Mid Best ain't a joke!
Also going on private for a bit- decided to apply for work again.
Freelance sports ain't looking like it for now. Love my boss tho 😮💨
Maybe I can afford stuff again at least 😃
I’m so fucking tired- but I need y’all to give
@Towito66
and
@Xyloboness
some love so they can cook in Top 24 for BBCF!!!!
Also make sure to tag yourself as BBB Spencer smh.
BOSTON!!!
Croc'n'Socks beating LostSoul in with Dead on Time burst super, with Shana tackling Crocs afterwards, was probably the highlight of my ECT2019.
#ECTMemories
So I'll be working EVO this weekend as part of the Mainstage via Camera Op! As always, very grateful, but honestly...
Extremely happy for my partner in crime
@Xyloboness
to be working EVO as well! It's awesome to see him out here be a part of a monumental event, to say the least
A big thank you to everyone who participated in Season 4 of Burst Limit! We could not have 10 Weeks of amazing sets without y’all.
In the meantime, we’re taking a break from our online weeklies until May 6th as we prepare for Beach Episode: Campout.
See y’all in a week!
My friend called me today to tell me he finally got a job related to his career in automation. We graduated at the same time and he's been struggling to find work since.
He went out of his way to thanked me for helping him.
I'm just really happy for him and wanted to share.
Finally got home last night at 12:45am-ish.
Just wanna say thank you to
@elvenshadowmike
and the
@FrostyFaustings
team for bringing me on as backup stage crew.
Was a good opportunity as I try to learn and develop experience in stage prod for myself and my scene.
(thread)
My
@Magfest
2020 album is out at ! It was a fun time seeing people jam out in person. Got to meet not only amazing people, but musicians. Hope things work out so I can go again next year!
Gonna be posting my favorites below, but otherwise...
See ya~!
(1/x) Post-CB2023 Vibes
Before anything else, big thanks to @/tenomedia for bringing me out here, 2nd year in a row! The fact that they trust me to man a camera for broadcast is an honor.
SO to Vex for allowing me to photo bomb constantly :)
(1/?) Can't sleep, so just wanna say thank you to everyone who were so nice to me at
#NEC20
. I feel so awkward all the time approaching people who don't know me, but I'm glad I was able to say hi to half the people I wanted to talk to!
Album for NEC will be out soon!
Thanks for asking.
During Magfest, I realize I always had to catch myself with pronouns, and it’s probs due to my own self-image.
While I don’t care on people misgendering me, I should be more aware of how that affects the grand scheme.
So please refer to me as they/them now.
I appreciate the shout out!
Just for that, I'll push this out real quick.
Rome's head aside, was trying to scope out a shot of you and
@Super__Yan
naturally together all weekend😅
For anyone who probably heard off-hand, I fell asleep on the wherl yesterday on the MA Turnpike highway. At worst I only scratched someone’s paint.
Everyone is okay. I’m fine. Please take care of yourselves, cause I’m obviously not.
Just wanna say I’m grateful to engage and be a part of not only the NEAFGC, but the FGC entirely.
Wanna save this energy for new years, but I’m glad I took my first steps into being more involved with the FGC this year.
Hope to see you all in 2020.
P.S SCVI kinda litty.
Thank you everyone who I met at CEO.
I’m emotionally overwhelmed and tired from all that happened this weekend, good and bad tbh.
I’ll make a long post later. My photos will be out later this week.
#PlayGGACPR
Happy to see my work be displayed.
Fighting games, a genre full of pro button mashers, late night couch sessions, and competition, is dear to my heart. Beyond many hype moments fighting games have given us, there is a tenderness and camaraderie which I adore and try to capture.
La pression sur les épaules, l'intensité du moment... La compétition n'est jamais facile et le pire c'est ce moment, ce moment juste avant que la game se lance.

- Feeling the pressure.
Honestly- as much as I'm happy about EVO and work, all that jazz.
It's nice knowing the deposit for my apartment has finally been paid off LMAO.
Just Thanos snapped that shit outta existence today.
No more Domino’s. I’m tired of it now.
Went back to cooking today with a basic penne pasta dish, sauce in pan.
Bacon
Onions
Garlic
Pasta
Seasoned with Salt/Sugar/Brown Sugar/Soy Sauce/Black Pepper/Sesame Oil.
A little bit of pickling juice from my Vietnamese daikon/carrots.
After constant delays and broken promises to myself, my
