2 things, one is admittedly a nitpick.

"months" but it's been a month and a week

and seems like they did, mostly. was worried when my first spoofed driver worked on release

[musty 🐮 @amustycow]

are we not gonna talk about how Rocket League said they would remove the bots... and they actually did

i haven't played vs a bot in months

[Alex @lespleb]

all these games, and nothing releases on my birthday.

might need to start a dodgeball team.

[Pory @pory_leeks]

September is where video games go to die

[Alex @lespleb]

lazy rivers lose 3% of their volume per cloudy day.

more on sunny days.

it's why they invented automatic pool covers that work on the winding paths to save ~1.5% of the water.

no savings on filter backwashing though, which loses water... like how data centers filter their loop

[Allie ✞ @allie__voss]

Why is no one discussing the endless water used by lazy rivers

[Alex @lespleb]

spend 43 hours across 2 games going through the depths of hell in plague ridden medieval france trying to save your sibling.

then be forced to watch as they are either killed by you, or an NPC if you refuse the button press

then you have a final chapter at this, their grave

[🌸(Halen)🌸Hargreaves @halenhargreevs]

Be honest…
which game ending completely broke you? 💔

[Alex @lespleb]

@ick_real not my idea, but saw someone get called a cogsucker

[Alex @lespleb]

@Cailee @grace_rag number 1 in the line outside the club, maybe

L’esport est une chance pour la France 🇫🇷

Création d’emplois, innovation, rayonnement international, engagement de la jeunesse… l’esport est aujourd’hui une discipline qui compte et qu’il faut accompagner avec responsabilité.

Avec l’accueil de l’Esports World Cup cet été à Paris, notre pays confirme son ambition de faire de la France une terre des d'accueil grands événements esportifs internationaux.

Il faut l’aider à grandir correctement.

@Azfura i'm not great at american politics, so this might be slightly off, but imagine the secretary of the interior or secretary of health and human services showing up at an NA lan

[Alex @lespleb]

pretty sure it entirely flew under the english speaking radar that the French Cabinet level Minister of Sports, Youth and Community Life was at the venue on Saturday

[NRG Azfura @Azfura]

Can someone give me a logical comparison on how big rocket league is in France? At the airport I saw drinks with Gentlemates logo on them, and also one of the cashiers asked me if I was here for rocket league cuz they saw my wristband. Is that super widespread and mainstream like that over there?

[Alex @lespleb]

running through the 6, engines unreal

[DIG Herculyse @herculysee]

she’s unreal on my engine til I 6

[Alex @lespleb]

the venue is in Nanterre, you know, the famous Paris suburb that is known for... checks notes... riots and police clashes.

of course security is extra compared to the events in Lyon or Raleigh, they're trying to avoid an incident.

especially since a minister visited it today.

[GGM1 Yota @RocketYota]

Paris La Defense arena not allowing DEODORANT in is CRIMINAL.

They are seriously wrong for that 😭

[Marina Ferrari @Marina_Ferrari]

À Paris La Défense Arena pour les Rocket League Championship Series, l’un des plus grands événements esport internationaux accueillis en France.

Quelques jours après l’annonce par le Président de la République de l’accueil à Paris de la prochaine Coupe du monde d’esport en 2026, cette compétition confirme l’ambition de la France : devenir une grande terre d’accueil des événements esportifs internationaux.

Merci aux équipes de BLAST, Epic Games et à tous les acteurs mobilisés pour faire rayonner cette filière d’avenir.

[Alex @lespleb]

@ClemmieRagatha the reason it works is due to our laws regarding search & them *really trying* to avoid a lawsuit

[Alex @lespleb]

so i have an idea for the Bastille...

[🔑 @PackPackRL]

@miramasa_ Come to 107 tomorrow slip a finger up you

[Terrible Maps @TerribleMaps]

The map may be oversimplified, but only slightly.

[Alex @lespleb]

found the first group of ppl that like CDG, couldn't wait to see it again

[Rocket League Esports @RLEsports]

NA “Near Airport” is known as the fastest region to arrive at the Airport. Since NRG gave up on the Rocket League Paris Major, they are investing in Speedruns. In particular they are current world record holders in Airport Any % and Airport no wins.

[AGAINST THE CURRENT @ATC_BAND]

You are not forgotten, “Dead Man Walking” is out now.

[Alex @lespleb]

almost everything in my life can be traced to one day when I was 7 & met the girl I'd fall for.

[☥𝐋𝐞𝐧𝐧𝐨𝐱 @fw_lennox1]

What happened to you that changed the entire trajectory of your life??

[Alex @lespleb]

never worried, nope.

totally didn't spend time downloading things to archive/transfer & learning other platforms...

while also prepping for paris.
