For those who I haven't told or have not noticed, I've been taking estrogen for almost exactly 1 year. It has been absolutely revolutionary for me. I'm happier in every single way. I only wish I'd started sooner rather than burying my feelings for nearly 30 years.

IMO if you’re gonna be commentating a DDR tournament, you maybe should not talk about hating DDR or how much the game sucks
like you can have that opinion sure, there’s valid reasons for disliking the game/the American scene
but like. if you don’t like it why are you there?
Thank you to everyone who came to mistake on the lake 5. I’ll put up a feedback form soon. I know people had a good time, and most tournaments ran on time (or early!!) but there were some delays and issues. We appreciate the patience and understanding that *most* entrants had.
over 500 viewers during pools, 3 languages in chat, 7 countries represented. this tournament has been incredibly difficult to plan, but I cannot help but be proud of this.
To anyone posting negative things about upbeat over the last week: please know I haven’t seen a single one of them and you have entirely wasted your time
to build on this: reach out proactively. one of the most insidious thoughts that you have when you’re struggling is that since no one notices your pain, no one cares. and since no one cares, why bother asking for help?
I know.
tell your friends what they mean to you. earnestly
Really this. I’m never out of reach for ANYONE that needs to talk. I’m here for EVERYONE. Japanese or English. Please please please NEVER hesitate to reach out to me if you need someone to talk to about ANYTHING.
For everyone complaining about Galaxy Start price:
--It's cheaper for unlocking Extra Savior
--It's cheaper for unlocking Course songs
--It's faster for playing Galaxy Stage
--If you're not doing those just play Premium
--It's fine
--You don't have to complain about everything

Today we said goodbye to Daisy. We did our best to make sure she had a long, full, happy life. I hope she did.
We got to say goodbye on our terms, at home. Couldn’t have asked for more.
Love you, girl. Thank you for letting me be a part of your life. I’ll miss you forever.
been telling myself I’d do this for years soooooo
I’m pan and recently NB (still figuring out exactly what it means to me and how I want to present myself, and I’m ok with any pronouns)
I’ve never been good at opening myself up to others so this is hard. Im actually very shy!
y’all kids in the RGC need to take it from us old timers:
1) if the drama doesn’t concern you, stay out of it
2) the loudest people in the situation are not always the ones to believe
3) if the drama doesn’t concern you, STAY OUT OF IT

people also forget it's not just a risk to you. if you really rise up against a pissed off autocracy making a last-ditch effort to cling to power? you're putting the lives of your friends, family, and neighbors on the line, too. anyone that ever knew you gets endangered.
I just want to enjoy this game with my friends
so tired of this nonsense surrounding data
eventually it’s going to end badly and you will only have yourself to blame
Konami stopped producing DDR once due to piracy, they could do it again
one of the most insufferable part of the tech industry is the amount of prostration and groveling you have to do during the application and interview processes
"tell us which part of our mission really resonates with you!" the part where I do a good job and you pay me for it
Happening in moments, Ohio Governor DeWine is expected to announce a rules meant to stave off a veto override of the gender affirming care ban.
These rules might include restrictions on transgender ADULTS, and could be worse than the original bill.
Follow live with me.
one of the best parts of playing DDR is sitting in the Taco Bell parking lot with your best friend after a session, listening to DDR music, and talking about everything you just played
I hope every RGC TO will take a hardline stance that this kind of thing is completely unacceptable
if you do this, and I find out you do this, you will not participate in any event I have any say in
If you have a problem with this, don’t come to my events
I hate tweeting about this stuff publicly, and I know there's going to be bad replies to this, but I'm over with it.
No one will ever understand what trans people have to go through in environments like tournaments and trying to compete. For the second time now in top 3 of a
god i love
@kimalaka
. she saw I was doing bad and took me out for drinks and dinner. she's been so supportive of literally everything, in particular the absolute wild assortment of things i've been juggling the last ~2 years. i couldn't do any of this without her
easiest way to piss off a bemani boomer: talk shit about gentle stress, gradiusic cyber, jam jam reggae, luv to me. guaranteed that one of them will be the sleeper agent activation code
happy birthday to

! the best part of my life, my best friend, the person that has unwaveringly supported me through tough times. I love you more than anything
@adamconover
this has been a pretty open secret in Cleveland for a while now! plenty of “democrats” talk the talk but lean suspiciously heavily into conservative policies under the guise of “safety” or “fiscal responsibility”, with a county D party that has long been aimless
driving 75 at 5pm on a Friday night to go play DDR with my friends while blasting hime trance and slamming a monster
the only way I know I’m not still 23 is that I have a job
in the airport having mixed feelings about this Japan trip. I spent a lot of time by myself and was pretty lonely by the end, but I’m still sad to leave.
I think it was overall worthwhile. have a LOT of work to do now though….
I think the best thing trans allies can do at this point is to educate themselves on issues and evangelize for us to those that won't learn. There’s tons of resources but these are the ones I think have the most dense and approachable content to begin with. (1/5)

yeah I agree. they can’t lead the charge or it turns into “we can’t let the leftists win or even look like they’re winning”
first official OhioDDR event that was done entirely without me and it went incredibly well, even accounting for all the curveballs
very proud of y’all :)
Incredibly happy that things have recovered in the community to the point where people have event choices
obviously *the same* weekend isn’t ideal but these things are planned months in advance and some collisions are unavoidable
thankful for every TO/EO putting in the work
sitting around talking about dance games after Infinity Stage. out of nowhere,
@leoncbrunson
says HOLY SHIT
we ask what
he pauses
and shouts “YOU EVER SEEN SIMONE BILES DO GYMNASTICS”
when you’re not playing you are directly responsible for making the arcade a safe place for everyone else there and keeping everyone happy
this includes preventing kids from getting hurt, blocking hecklers or stray air hockey pucks, cleaning up trash even if it’s not yours, dtc
@toph_bbq
thank you, discord, for telling me about how a user named “Professor Gayton and the Bi-curious Village” is posting another AI generated loss meme in a server I don’t remember joining because someone added a new channel and now I have to FIND THE SERVER AND THE CHANNEL
I’m sorry to single this out but we already run these things at a loss. Starting with Extra Exclusive 2020, I have spent about 10% of my personal income (pre-tax!) on tournaments that I do not ever expect to recover. it feels pretty disrespectful to say “just spend more money”
