T64 on Gardy in Lille. Sad to whiff the great Day 1 but cheering on Kai & Thomas in Cut 🔥 Thank you to my friends for the amazing/vocal support on stream and an amazing weekend 🤙

Top 8 at the big @Dark_Sphere Cup with Control Chandelure. Chickened out of playing this at the past two Regionals so nice to finally send it before Delta Reign/Pyroduct invades the format. Flutes did some work today.

Not my day in Nice. But lovely opponents including my man @LukeDonker who's my witness for a (largely redundant) blind Seek into Trifrost. Always magic in the game even on a tough day.

Majors need a 'do not disturb'/quiet room. I badly needed space to decompress and attend to important things happening elsewhere today (all resolved!). Dedicated space beats having to justify lack of engagement with each (well meaning) passer by, and sets unambiguous expectations

Important update ☠️
Demoralising matchups against lovely opponents; picking myself up and playing it out - and back stronger in Nice!

My pet theory is that high prime number HP (ignoring multiples of 10 etc) is inherently less satisfying to play with or against. Fewer neat/precise weakness KOs; or precise multi attack KOs. And without the satisfaction of seeing a milestone number like '300' on a card.
There is no pokemon in the tcg with 290 hp

Wasn't too fussed about 30C but been loving locals' joy sharing pulls, admiring arts, sharing TCG history. Huge contrast to the scalper bros anxiously queing for hours to flip a product. Print it into the ground, spread the joy 😊 My fave below 👇

Misinformation to deter LGBT participation is harmful to LGBT people, and does a massive disservice to those who won the repeal of 377A. If you want to learn more when you're there about LGBT history in Singapore - strongly recommend Isaac's walking tour. airbnb.com.sg/experiences/40…

if you resell your worlds pokemon center merch for 2-3x what you paid for it then you’re not allowed to complain about pokemon tcg scalpers ever again
