Sup guys, it’s been a minute but just wanted to make a tweet so I can hold myself accountable for my goal this/next year.

TLDR at bottom

I’m setting the goal to try to be on the big stage again. I figured instead of slowly disappearing, something like this would be better for me.

I’ve been thinking alot the past few months and dealing with that cringe quarter life crisis thing figuring out myself in my free time. I’d say I want to play league with intentional effort and stop trying to live life on autopilot again. I did intentionally skip out on NACL Spring opportunities to have time for myself and deal with a family concern, but I will be looking for any future opportunities.

I will admit I could have tried harder many points in my career, at the same time I heavily limited myself with many negative/harsh and unrealistic (perfectionist) mindsets. As a result I measured effort purely with intensity and results, but I want consistency to be a way bigger factor this time around.

I also did try to stream to connect with fans before but I always got too in my head about my image, but I’ll try to push through that. So come watch me on https://t.co/pxjDj2Geb2 as I’ll try to be more active

If I dont get anymore LCS opportunities in 2027, I’ll likely move on, but I’ll be getting back on the grind (sorry i if int your games in the near future).

I’ll spare some details so it’s not a whole book series but ultimately I’m trying to be more intentional with a routine.

TLDR
Using this tweet to help hold me accountable to grind for routine and big stage again, Cheers

Wife made me go to couples therapy last week

Nice office

Two couches

Box of tissues

The therapist asked what brings us in

My wife said "he treats everything like a transaction"

I said "that's not true"

The therapist asked me to give an example of something I do that isn't transactional

I thought about it for 11 seconds

I could not think of an example

The therapist asked how that made me feel

I said "efficient"

My wife looked at the therapist

The therapist looked at my wife

They had a moment

I was not part of the moment

My wife said "do you love me?"

I said "I chose you. Every day I choose you. That's not emotion. That's a commitment with a compounding return and I don't see a better alternative in the market."

The room went quiet

My wife cried

The therapist cried

I didn't understand why

That was the most romantic thing I've ever said

The therapist said "I think we should meet weekly"

I said "what's your hourly rate?"

She said "$275"

I said "for both of us or each?"

My wife picked up her purse and walked out

I stayed to negotiate the rate

Got it down to $250

Apple paso de hacer Macs que eran productos que lo primero que pensabas cuando escuchabas el nombre era “caro” o “sobrevalorado” a hacer un puto producto que recomendaria con los putisimos ojos cerrados a cualquier persona sobre cualquier opcion, y no solo por lo absurdo que es su rendimiento y su duracion de bateria, tambien por que genuinamente no creo que haya un mejor producto calidad/precio.

Locura.

My wife calls me, panicked.

The call is from her number, and her voice is unmistakable- that’s my wife.

‘Babe, our son is hurt. He got in a bike wreck. I’m at the emergency room but they won’t take our insurance and I need cash to get him help. Please send me 3000 dollars as soon as you can, he’s really not doing well.’

Me- ‘Wow, that’s scary. Tell me our passphrase and then I’ll send the money.’

Her (it) - ‘What? What passphrase? This is your wife, our son is hurt. Send the money now!!’

Me- ‘I’ll call you back. I don’t believe that this is my wife. If it is, I’m sorry, but we discussed this.’

The number? Spoofed. Easy to do and there’s no way to tell if a phone number is being spoofed aside from hanging up and calling back to confirm.

The voice? AI generated. Easily done. A few seconds of audio is all it takes to create a realistic audio deepfake.

What can you do?

1) Create a family safe word or passphrase. Ours is definitely not ‘Keep Going’ although we considered it. Discuss the passphrase far away from phones or any recording device. This is as analog as possible. Don’t forget that the trigger for the passphrase is just as important as the phrase itself. So instead of asking ‘what’s the safe word?’ have a separate triggering question. For example, you could say ‘I’m eating banana cream pie’ and this would trigger your spouse to respond ‘purple velvet pillows’ if that’s the safe word.

Make it fun, silly, and easy to remember. And DON’T WRITE IT DOWN.

2) Cognitive security is an essential skill in 2026. Assume every image and video you see online is fake until proven otherwise. Expect scams and spammers, and be pleasantly surprised when it’s not.

3) Figure out a backup communication option with people who you absolutely need to be able to reach. Don’t just rely on a phone number for communication. Have redundant, ideally encrypted methods of communication with family.

What did I miss? I think (hope) Nikita is wrong on the timeframe- agentic bots like Claude bot are impressive but not quite ready to flood the phone lines in just 90 days. But I think it’s going to be a huge problem by the end of the year. I already get dozens of increasingly realistic spam calls and texts daily- it’s only going to get more annoying. Have a plan to keep your family and your finances safe!
