So I usually keep my personal life private, but...
Yesterday, the girl I've been seeing mentioned how she would "whoop my ass" in Mario Kart.
She is going to learn how unfair life can be.
I show mercy to no one.
For a while, I have been teasing about a possible life change.
Well, now I can share it.
I have accepted a position at
@NetherRealm
, working in the QA department!
I am beyond grateful for this opportunity and I am excited to start this new chapter of my life in Chicago!
🥳
Wasnt going to post this because the internet can be brutal (and I'm still relatively self conscious about how I used to look) but fuck it :)
Whatever it is that you're doing, keep your head up and push through the tough times.
Success doesn't come without some sacrifice 👍
So we're eating dinner, and someone working at the bar recognizes
@SonicFox5000
.
He ended up buying the whole table a round of shots.
I'm officially hollywood through association 🙃
Being rude to bartenders, servers, or literally anyone in the customer service industry really is one of the most unattractive things that a person can do.
What video game opinion would have you like this?
I’ll go first.
Goldeneye for N64 is glorified for no reason (other than the S-Tier OST), and Perfect Dark is actually the game that furthered the genre as a whole.
Today is yet another reminder that mental health is of utmost importance.
RIP Etika.
Side note: as helpful as hotlines may be, I cant imagine someone preferring that over talking to someone they know.
So reach out to friends from time to time.
You never know who's struggling.
Pure. Raw. Emotion.
Making top 8 at the first major for MK11 was something I didn't even think was possible for me.
I can't wait to see where this game takes me!
Now which organization wants to join me on this journey? :)

(as you may have noticed)
Car broke down leaving work. I let my manager know that I literally have no car for work tomorrow morning and said Ubering isn’t an option due to distance.
He told me to figure it out and make sure I’m there in the morning.
So I figured it out.
I won’t be there tomorrow 🙃
I've been working super hard in my fitness journey, so I wanted to share this comparison in hopes that it serves as motivation; even if for one person out there.
Almost didnt share to Twitter because of trolls, but screw it 🙃

Right pic: Today (6/15/2019)
So...Facebook cursed me w/ a memory from April 2013; 7 years ago today (left).
On the right is the most recent picture of me (March 2020).
These old pictures used to be tough to look at...but now they serve as motivation to keep going.
Missing the gym even more today🥺
I'm also really proud of myself that I made sure to use the correct pronouns when mentioning
@SonicFox5000
on commentary.
That was one of the biggest things I wanted to work on after ECT, and I'm glad it worked out so well.
Cheers Fox, and good luck w/the rest of the weekend 👌
There’s been lots of talk recently about how MK11 “NEEDS” a patch & “NEEDS” more characters.
I just want to remind everyone that video game developers owe us literally nothing.
Is it hard to just be grateful for what we already have?
If not, just find something else to play :)
Found out my most recent ex girlfriend hit 9 months of sobriety today & I couldn't be more proud of her.
She called me up all excited to share the news and it really made me happy.
Just because things may not work out between people, it doesnt mean we have to be bitter ❤
I can’t believe I get to say this, but today marks my one year anniversary here at Netherrealm!
It’s been a gift to work among such talented & welcoming individuals; especially at a studio that changed my life LONG before I ever even got hired.
Here’s to hopefully many more 🥳
A late, but very deserved congrats to the GOAT
@SonicFox5000
. Your performance this weekend was nothing short of incredible.
I also admit I slipped up a couple times, but you already know I try my damn hardest to use the correct pronouns on the mic!
#transrights
I'm honestly still in shock at all of the support I've been getting about my commentary.
After retiring, I was so afraid that I'd end up eventually fading away from the scene, and I'm glad thats not the case.
Living out this dream & working w/everyone has been a true privilege!
I am beyond excited to finally announce that I will be making my
#ProKompetition
commentary debut at
#ECT2019
this weekend!
See all of you beautiful people soon <3
It is absolutely surreal to have worked on a Mortal Kombat game; a franchise that completely changed my life MULTIPLE times.
Much love to QA and the entire studio!
Seeing my name in the credits may or may not have got me to shed a tear 🥲
I feel like an appreciation tweet is is order. No requests, no questions, and no wild demands.
You guys at
@NetherRealm
are seriously doing an amazing job & we are fortunate to have such a sick dev team.
From the entire NRS scene,
Thank you!

Been coming across a few familiar names in the MK1 Stress Test this morning.
You won't recognize my tag (that's on purpose), but just know that I see you all grinding and it makes me happy 🥳
The best advice I can give for those looking to grow in the FGC:
Make friends and practice your craft instead of focusing on drama and people with inflated egos.
I promise it'll make your journey much more successful and enjoyable :)
Netherrealm did an AMAZING job with Shang Tsung. I'm not even talking about his strength. His animations & the sound effects accompanied with them are insanely cool!
This makes me even more eager to see what they do with Nightwolf.
GOD I HOPE NIGHTWOLF IS NEXT!
Took some time to sit back & go through all of my notifications from yesterday's EVO performance and I'm actually fighting back tears right now. The support is unreal.
But this EVO placement is dedicated to my grandma. I love you & I wish you were still alive to see this..
Fellow competitors:
Dont be afraid of losing; whether its casuals, tournament, online sets, or online ranked.
Losses are only taken in vain if you learn nothing from them.
Trust the learning process!
Y’all don’t realize how compliment-starved most guys are.
I know that any time I get a compliment, I legitimately will never forget it..
..And I’m sure I’m not the only one.
Just played a long set with
@BiohazardCMNDR
.
He shows me how to cover Kano’s tick grab mix with option selects.
Says it covers all options.
Proceeds to do strings in to snakebite on block which beats what he just showed me.
I hate this guy lmao
I streamed Nightwolf for over 7 hours.
This character is everything I could have hoped for. Sure, its too early to be able to tell how amazing he is, but this is the most fun I've had in this game since release.
Thank you to everyone who hung out, followed, subbed, etc.!
I'm stoked to reveal that I'll be one of the
#MK11
#ProKompetition
Commentators at NEC!
Thank you to everyone who has been supporting me. The feedback from my professional debut at ECT was unreal, and I hope to deliver once again!
See you all there :)
Which character in a fighting game was the most fun for you to use?
I’m trying to see something 👀
Mine is a tie between Killer Leatherface (MKX) and Nightwolf (MK9)
My EVO run has unfortunately come to an end. I made way too many mistakes against Tweedy, but well played to him. The 4th place curse lives on.
I had a lot of fun and the crowd was WILD. Love you all
I'm floored by all the positive comments about my commentary so far.
I know there's tons of room to improve, but I think I'm off to a great start!
Also, it was a pleasure to share the mic with
@ultradavid
.
Thank you all, and I'll be back on at 6pm EST!
