I had a trippy realization last night... Much of childhood/young adult life is about learning how to learn... Being a parent is about learning how to teach. I think that's cool 🙂
Won of my favorite Evo moments of all time. It was something else to see it live.
I am greatly honored every single time that this moment is shared. Tekken 7 @Evo 2018, IMO, was such a spectacle because of the competitive storyline at the time, the players, and the goated commentators who called the matches! The crowd really had my back too! Unforgettable! 🔥

Life fucking loves you. Things work out for you. Doors open for you. Money comes to you. Love finds you. People remember you. Opportunities want you. You keep getting lucky in ways that make you laugh because of course it worked out for you again.
Of course it did. It always does. It always has.

Prolly a hot take but at the end of the day, placing at majors & beating top players offline is when you know you're actually good at fighting games!
Y'all gettin' a little too caught up in ranked and online tournies I fear. Great resources for improving! Not the end all be all

the most underrated act of kindness is letting people be. let them mispronounce a word, talk too much about a show they love, or get excited about something you don't understand. everyone has something that lights them up. let them shine, even if it's not your thing.

30 years of Super Mario 64 and I genuinely don’t think people who weren’t there can understand just how magical this game felt.
Walking into Peach’s Castle for the first time. Hearing the music. Running down those hallways, finding a painting, and realizing you could literally JUMP INTO IT and enter an entirely different world.
Every door was a mystery. Every painting was a new adventure. Every star felt like you’d discovered something nobody else had.
The first time you flew with the Wing Cap. Racing that stupid penguin down the slide. Swimming through Dire, Dire Docks. Running around Bobomb Battlefield with absolutely no idea what you were supposed to be doing, but somehow having the time of your life.
And the music. God, the music.
There was no YouTube tutorial telling you where to go. No internet spoiling every secret before you found it. Just you, your N64, and an entire new game to be explored.
I think what makes me emotional looking back is realizing we weren’t just experiencing one of the greatest leaps in gaming history. We were experiencing a kind of childhood wonder you can never quite get back. Those mornings sitting on the floor in front of the TV, completely lost in a world that felt so big.
I can still hear the castle music and immediately feel like a kid again.
