"It's better to know how to learn than to know."

"It's what we think we know that keeps us from learning."

"In order to adapt, you need to have awareness."

"Don't pressure or worry yourself with future thoughts and hopes of winning. Be present. Be aware."

"Don't underestimate or overestimate but be confident that you can beat anyone and don't give up."

These are the quotes that I definitely agree with. I got these from this video:

MythrilMoth offered an interesting writing exercise: Compose a Smash Ultimate character reveal trailer. Since it also doubles as a game design exercise, I was naturally intrigued, especially after just having written something for a Smash-themed contest. Let's see where this goes...

Anyway, I just took a break to watch the new smash direct that Nintendo just released today, and wow, if I already couldn't have been hyped enough for the release of Fire Emblem Fates

Can't believe I haven't done this yet. Smash Bros is going to be dominating my life whenever I'm not writing or working or sleeping. If any of you got Smash and want to hit me up for some matches, shoot me a PM and we can work out a time.

When I write a lot of my stories, they're usually inspired by various things that I've watched, read, or encountered. "Smash & Grab" and the subsequent planned stories have plenty of these and I thought I'd share them with you, because dammit, more people need exposure to heist stories.

Earlier blog posts will be updated with this new title.

Thank you.

7 years ago today, we lost Chris Cornell. True rock and roll legend.

And although Steve Harwell didn't die today, I just found out today that he died last September. Smash Mouth was a big part of my childhood.
