Close the gotdamn door
Vilos - Finding A Life (@vilospi.bsky.social)
Played 2 tournaments of Gundam (learned a lot about the improvements my deck needs), did a room at The Escape Game, and drank cocktails at a speakeasy this weekend. Extremely socially productive. This "start living" thing has really been something

I feel like some executive dysfunction can be tricked like this
Vilos - Finding A Life (@vilospi.bsky.social) reply parent
I actually run a red/white as well lol, not based on meta, but it's requiring so much tweaking for decent draw
Vilos - Finding A Life (@vilospi.bsky.social) reply parent
I went 1-5 today (one player conceded), but it's all in the name of improving the deck! 😁

Watching Honey, Don't! and Toxic Avenger last night was a hilarious bundle of silly. Both great movies in their own right, though TA was surprisingly wholesome when judged against its modern peers. The actor behind the presence of Toxie did great work and they dubbed Dinklage mostly well.

My body when I work out that 3/4 lbs of cherries for breakfast and two slices of pizza for dinner makes my gut feel good.

Seeing the new Toxic Avenger Thursday at Alamo Drafthouse 🥹
Vilos - Finding A Life (@vilospi.bsky.social)
I played through the Daemon X Machina Titanic Scion demo over the weekend, and I gotta just ask WHY MECH ON HORSE?! (I do find it hilarious though, since you can Iron Man around for miles or this, besides the obvious fast travel)
Vilos - Finding A Life (@vilospi.bsky.social) reply parent
LOVE THEM
Vilos - Finding A Life (@vilospi.bsky.social) reply parent
I was gonna do some traveling later this year, but some of these releases are just too good to not spend on 😬

Vilos - Finding A Life (@vilospi.bsky.social)
Well, shit. Nobody showed up to my second tournament. 😩
Vilos - Finding A Life (@vilospi.bsky.social)
I managed to create a routine in the last couple months of renting a house, but with a close friend moving away, it looks like I'm adjusting again. Fridays -- Alamo Drafthouse Saturdays -- Gundam tournaments Sundays -- Football and completing video games 💪

Yeah I make it a point to mention I'll be aware of meta, but the point is to have a good time with what we have. We're all really learning Gundam still, so hopefully you bump into some cooler ppl.
Vilos - Finding A Life (@vilospi.bsky.social) reply parent
You right. Are the TCGers particularly sweaty players, just too competitive to be nice? Definitely have seen that
Vilos - Finding A Life (@vilospi.bsky.social) reply parent
In my experience, the general card gaming community is like that because they're set in their ways, often neurodivergent and lacking social skills despite operating in the social arena. Hopefully you're not limited to one community to check out! I got lucky with a few nice people in my latest stop 🥹
Vilos - Finding A Life (@vilospi.bsky.social)
Ugh, most likely have to skip my first game of the day because my AC went out last night and I'm the only one home to help the HVAC guy 😒
Vilos - Finding A Life (@vilospi.bsky.social)
I'm not making card games my whole personality, but now through September is my Gundam TCG era. TWO tourneys today, playing my own Red/White build.
Vilos - Finding A Life (@vilospi.bsky.social) reply parent
Selling can be its own beautiful way to memorialize things (but still makes me a bit teary). That Fates is so valuable though 😩

Decided to walk a couple miles today to see a cool food truck stop and arcade bar near me, got a nice lil buzz and enjoyed the scenery
Vilos - Finding A Life (@vilospi.bsky.social)
It's really just paying money to pay for...more things to buy, but I really can't wait to go to Bandai Card Games Fest! Undecided if I'll get on the waitlist for one of the tourneys, but we'll see how the next couple games go
Vilos - Finding A Life (@vilospi.bsky.social) reply parent
I would hug and give all the melatonin the world (if that would help) You deserve good things and rest

Seriously. "Bro, you really aren't tired of shooting people yet?" is certainly a sentence that can be uttered to a large number of gamers
Vilos - Finding A Life (@vilospi.bsky.social) reply parent
They're gonna end up having a DLC Gooner patch then, huh?
Vilos - Finding A Life (@vilospi.bsky.social) reply parent
Sick AF
Vilos - Finding A Life (@vilospi.bsky.social)
I'm not gonna be a sweaty card gamer, but I am getting fully invested in my local Gundam TCG tourneys over the next month in preparation for Bandai Card Games Fest. I'll just be sitting at the tables refusing to talk about metas and exclusively using decks with color combos nobody wants to play.

At least everyone's been warned

Whoa didn't know that crossover existed
Vilos - Finding A Life (@vilospi.bsky.social)
UGH ok I bought Madden 26 today because the trial confirmed for me that it's actually the best in a while. It's been more than a decade since I bought the game at release (at least it was 10% off) 😭

Did so much nerd shit today, it was great. Even had the willpower to only buy two comic books (don't ask me about the cards I bought)

Got 4th out of 9 with a deck I made in 24 hours, went 1-1 and my win pack had this absolute legend. Really feeling good about--> #gundamtcg

Glad the CFB26 trial isn't doing much for me...trying to get a QB to grow from nothing in HS and the WRs drop 75% of my throws, seemingly can't have things go for you if you don't start with a 5 star player. Look at this fuckboi that might not even get to start in his second season at Texas Tech 🤣

This is your PSA: DO NOT watch War of the Worlds (2025) alone. It's barely worth torturing your movie-appreciating friends with it. Truly didn't think it could be as bad as it is.
