    Under Night In-Birth II [Sys:Celes] - I’m back on my bullshit again. Uzuki arc was fun, but when it comes time for bracket I gotta lock in. And by lock in, I mean still play like a clown.

    Them’s Fightin’ Herds - Glue Cup was short on commentators this week, so I volunteered to fill in. Been a long time since I’ve done proper tournament commentary, I’ve honestly really missed doing it.

    Mega Knockdown - Took 4th in the second anniversary bracket. Shoutouts to Stealphie’s $100 airthrow.

    Splatoon 3 - Didn’t have too much time to practice this week, but had one good session. Really trying to work on more actionable callouts, coordinating with our specials and planning a push together rather than merely announcing things after they happen.

    Summon Night: Swordcraft Story - Man, forgot how annoying it was that you have to always go for weapon breaks against bosses or else you miss their blueprint forever. Also, RHDN shutdown has me wondering, if/when the third game’s translation patch ever gets finished, where do I even look to find out about it?

    Slay the Spire - I can quit any time I want, I swear.

    Mahjong Soul/Riichi City/IRL mahjong - Came dangerously close to losing my Master 1 rank on Soul, but got a few wins so I’m safeish now. I know I’m too reckless and I’m trying to work on that. I did play one of the best games I’ve had at club this week, had the discipline to fold several tempting hands and it turned out to be correct every time. Sometimes protecting second place through smart play is more satisfying than lucking into first.

    Kitsune Tails - Cute little platformer, but maybe too on the nose for how much it copies SMB3. Kuribo’s Shoe, really?
