Never be in a hurry; do everything quietly and in a
calm spirit. Do not lose your inward peace for
anything whatsoever, even if your whole world
seems upset.
~ Francis de Sales

It's hard to put into words how much this game means to me and the impact it had on my life. One day I'll do a write-up, but for now I'll say that many fun times were had, and I met so many cool people all because of this game. ๐
18 years ago today, Super Smash Bros. Brawl was released as a Nintendo Wii system exclusive in NA. It was developed by Sora Ltd./Nintendo ad-hoc development team and published by Nintendo.
The biggest takeaway I've gleaned from all of this, is to take the path of most resistance, not the least. That's when things started to change for me.
2025 was a good year for me. All the effort I put into my job, craft, or hobbies, as well as the discipline I cultivated in myself, paid off immensely.
I also got to meet some of my personal heroes, which was really inspiring and makes me want to work even harder in 2026. ๐
