remember when the melee commewnity broadly agreed puff was a bad matchup fur marth
@vaporeon_ PPMD was a top level player in super smash bros. melee. fur a very brief period he was clearly the best but he developed very serious chronic fatigue that he’s still recovering from to this day
his gameplay had a movement-focused magic like no other
@vaporeon_ another legendarily good top level player once commented that fighting ppmd had a way of making you “believe the magic”. i don’t really know a better way to describe what watching him dance around his opponent looked like
@aescling remember the brief era of ppmd
@aescling yeah. shame about the. i mean. i didn't look into it but from what i saw, shame about it
@monorail do you mean the health purroblems or did something happen i’m not aware of?
@aescling he's involved with an alternative medicine scheme that looks on its surface a whole lot like trying scam sick people out of money. he's said that the point of it absolutely is not to replace traditional medicine but like, it doesn't really seem that way on the website tbh
@aescling i think he genuinely believes in it but i don't think that makes it better? like if the thing you genuinely believe in is saying "From Fatigue to Freedom: My Quantum-Touch Energy Healing Story" that's a problem
@monorail fucking sad, man
@aescling especially with $100/hour consultations
that shit was sick as fuck
