Went to my first tournament with the new phone and the fact I didn't have to carry/charge my power bank at all was great. bsky.app/profile/jame...

Got a brand new phone after 5-6 years and the fact I no longer need an Apple Lightning cable just for my phone anymore and my battery lasts the whole day is life changing.

Finished 10th Place at the 2025 Pokémon VGC World Championship in Anaheim this weekend. Got to do what I love the most in this game which was facing many strong opponents and having intense high-level sets all weekend 🥰

What do you mean Worlds is next weekend???

Got inspired to start practicing for Worlds two weeks before the tournament... Let's see how this goes 😅

Just bought so many games from the Nintendo eShop Summer Sale. I will hopefully play all of them at some point 😅

It was indeed safe for an invite bsky.app/profile/jame...

I really hope 1010cp is safe for a worlds invite lol

Switch 2 obtained 😁

Happy Birthday man!

Was planning on getting a new iPhone this year since mine is several years old, almost out of storage and has some performance issues recently. Hoping Apple makes the new phone coming out this year worth upgrading to or that tariff price hike won't be worth it (ideally no tariff increase) 🥶

YouTube algorithm blessed my timeline today with an introduction to 80's Japanese City Pop Funk

Back from my first vacation in years and I really need to do those more often

I am very glad I decided not to wait and invested in a Macbook Pro last year with all the tariff nonsense

it's very rough

Going to be doing a test pilot episode of a potential brand new series on the YouTube channel tomorrow. Hoping it is well received :]

Yesterday, I had a calzone for the first time in years. It was pretty good

unlucky 😔

Failed to get a Switch 2 preorder 😭

Almost finished recording all of my videos for April so might have some free time next week. Maybe a return to streaming? 👀

Learning Davinci and scripting is hard but will be worth it. (Also forgot to attach the photo lol)

Reached 50k subscribers on YouTube today. Never thought the channel I made for fun back in 2013 would go so far but here we are. Always grateful for anyone who has supported the journey here and looking forward to making great stuff to push for 100k ^_^

That's crazy. I hope you enjoy the random updates or find other stuff you enjoy on Bluesky (I like it since there's no bots and people are more chill here)

Booked my flights to the 2025 Pokémon World Championship in Anaheim and am glad to announce I will not be anywhere near LAX airport for the trip 😄

Also, why is Anaheim so expensive? Even with Disney, I'm paying the same price per night as the 4 star hotel I stayed in Hawaii for a simple hotel walkable from the Anaheim Convention Center...

I have booked my hotel for the 2025 World Championship in Anaheim

This might have been the best season to start taking a break from competing. Been glad I've been saving money with how the World Economy and the markets have been doing...

Excited to welcome Pokémon VGC competitor & creator @jameswbaek.bsky.social on Chazingdra Chats 🙌

Played a rematch against a tough matchup in Top 8 and was surprisingly almost able to make a comeback in game 3 against a full health Miraidon, full health Ursaluna & full health Assault Vest Incineroar with a weakened Clefairy, Rillaboom and Incineroar but messed up the 2nd to final turn 😭

Placed 5th place at Vancouver Regionals last weekend and most likely qualified for the Pokémon 2025 World Championship. Played well throughout the whole tour and finally made it into the Top Cut stage at an event this season. Not bad for a break season.
