Hmmm. I dunno, I live just north of one of the most dense areas in my state... sister cities that are together a significant portion the size of your state. Granted, that's a lot less dense than where you are. But it's enough to make me hate driving within ~25 minutes of downtown.

I guess the biggest difference as far as having more space goes... is probably just that it takes me a long time to get to other places in my state. Here are a few estimates of distance in terms of drive duration from Denton (my place of residence) to some select locations in TX.

Dallas - 45 minutes
Ft Worth - 40 minutes
Wicitha Falls - 2 hours
Waco - 2.5 hours
Texarkana - 3.5 hours
Austin - 3.5 hours
San Antonio - 5 hours
Houston - 5 hours
Galveston - 5.5 hours
Lubbock - 6 hours
Corpus Christi - 7.5 hours
Brownsville - 9.5 hours
El Paso - 12 hours

Going from East TX to West TX is really really cool for the first time-- or if you haven't made the trip in a while.
Otherwise it's just annoying.

Basically, we have several highly-populated areas. Drive about an hour away from each area and the state turns into nothing, which later turns into pretty cool scenery, which turns back into nothing, which in a few more hours will turn into another populated area.


Happy birthday to Mister Doom!

Happy B-day Mr.Doom!

Also: going to a tournament today. None of the SAPR are allowed to enter, so I may actually do well. And apparently, there are going to be three Ikes in the bracket.

Hey guys, thanks for all the HBDs. And for those who didn't get it right, I'll let it slide just this one day. But don't make a habit out of it.

Sleep...

My friends never wanted to play me in Melee since like 7 years ago, so don't care about it much anymore.

Wish Ryo vs Mero got recorded. Wanted to see that more.

Gallax got messed up. Doubt Pika would've helped much.
Just reminds me that I need to reimplement reads / hard reads in my game again. I rarely do smashes and other things like that nowadays.

San, your game sounds like it is currently devoid of sexiness. Bring back that hype tier F smash!

(In all seriousness though, it feels sorta sad to realize that unless you have a nice read, Ike's "cool" moves are stupid to throw.)

There are times where I don't play much for a few months so I forget some things I do sometimes.

Smashes are really easy to use near the edges, especially reverse Usmash.

Good thing is that I had so many different playstyles, I'm familiar with playing in a lot of different ways.
