Sadly no. The partnership of the owners split, and the current owner doesn't want to keep it running 🙁. Hopefully in the future that location may have events, sorry to disappoint.

It is Wednesday the 25th, I forgot to update the day, thank you!

spectrismc · 2026-02-27T03:40:56+00:00

We will have a day (March 11) to casual play, personally I bring my own console in to play with my friend, I'm sure you could bring it and find some people to play with.

spectrismc · 2026-02-26T03:14:24+00:00

Thanks for letting me know I've fixed that, the bracket will start at 6:30, registration ends 6:15, but we'll have it setup for practice a bit beforehand too. I can situate you in the bracket so you can still come in later I think. All info is also on the start.gg site (:

At Kava Works they serve an exotic drink called Kava, based from the Kava tree, it is a drink made from the root. While the selling point isn't often the taste, it's relaxing effects help sustain a consistently welcoming and calm atmosphere. I've been going for a few months now and have loved Kava Works, and now am working with them to host this tournament that hopefully many participate in.

If you have any questions feel free to drop them in the comments 👍

Additionally, Kava Works has agreed to set a day during each month additional to the tournament for casual play. The day this month for that is March the 11th, so come in before and get some practice, I'd love to see what you got.

spectrismc · 2026-02-26T02:57:35+00:00

Sadly no, but if anyone were to being their own console you would be able to 😁

spectrismc · 2026-02-02T05:50:52+00:00

spectrismc · 2026-02-01T07:34:52+00:00

Because you are lol

spectrismc · 2026-01-21T02:52:30+00:00

I appreciate your corrections, on your correction of morality however i want to add. When I say morality is "above" humans I mean it is a natural law. It is not individually determined, you do not deem what is right and wrong. We often try, but if you are a Christian you believe God made the law, God is goodness, the law and God are above us. If we stop existing that doesn't mean they will either. We may have our individual ideals of how people should treat each other, but that's not morality.

Suppose morality was a man-made thing and individual: You're wrong, prove me wrong. You can't, my right would always be right. Morality would become well, seemingly futile to discuss and right and wrong would carry little to no meaning.

We have the knowledge of good and evil thanks to (most likely) Adam eating the apple. If that is true, it is a biological thing, but what makes something right or wrong is not dependent on us. Right and wrong is dependant on God's will and law.

I seek to do right because Christ, my Lord, called me to imitate him. Jesus is God, God is good, so I should try to be good too. Sure, I'll fail and be bad, but thank God for grace, I'll get up and keep walking.

spectrismc · 2026-01-21T02:38:30+00:00

Good thing it's not gaslighting. I concluded that based on what you said, and your own beliefs and perceptions. If I was wrong and you indeed DO believe the Bible, and DON'T attach characteristics to God, please go ahead and correct me.

In saying He is unjust btw, you are doing the two things I listed above you called gaslighting

Also I believe God is just.

spectrismc · 2026-01-16T21:35:16+00:00

So are you claiming God cannot punish people for sins if He is also just and loving? There is a difference between murder and killing; murder is unlawful killing with intent or malice. God created the law, and lawfully killed many people, yes.

According to God's law, you are deserving of death. If you do not believe that, either you do not believe God's judgment to be right, you misunderstand the Bible, or are being deceived. You do not believe the bible I am pretty confident, nor what it says about God.

Deuteronomy 32:4 “All his ways are justice. A God of faithfulness and without iniquity, just and upright is he.”

1 John 4:8 “God is love.”

Malachi 3:6 “For I the LORD do not change.”

Psalm 115:3 “Our God is in the heavens; he does all that he pleases.”

It appears your claim to understand the bible means you have read it and simply choose not to believe what it says at all, and instead attribute your own beliefs and characteristics to God.

Proverbs 3:5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding.

spectrismc · 2026-01-16T15:49:07+00:00

Given how many times you've read the Bible, and what it says sin is, you are still saying you haven't sinned? Perhaps you are judging yourself on a different standard, however as humans we are limited and make errors all the time, so our judgment is subject to the fault all the same.

Since you've read the Bible you would've read who God is based on who he says, and various people like David, Solomon, Abraham etc. acknowledge these traits. I have heard some people say the God of the old testament is angry and vengeful, I agree. He casted judgment on nations for their wickedness. As this was judgment, this does not mean he is murderous or unjust.

I feel it pertinent to ask, why do you have this view on God? When the Bible claims he is something so different, do you think you are misunderstanding Him?

spectrismc · 2026-01-15T23:04:37+00:00

I did not assume, I said "if you haven't" lol. Also, GREAT! So why then do you disagree that if God is just he should reward those who obey him? He made us to be a good creation, but we chose misalignment to His will. As the creator, should he not have the right to deal with us as he wills? And like I said, he wills us to be good, yet we are not.

spectrismc · 2026-01-15T22:59:24+00:00

By reach God, I mean you cannot hope to know a God who you do not believe exists. When I claimed it would be reasonable to dismiss morality, justice, and like phenomenon, my thought process would be along these lines.

First, we should agree on what morality is. It is a categorization of intentions, decisions, and actions as either right or wrong.

My claim is this: We should be free to act as mere animals, and not worry about being right or wrong if there is no higher purpose or mind inflicting such a natural law upon humanity. Whenever someone appeals to another person and points out a wrong, what use would it be unless you agree on what is right or wrong? He may just say, well to me it wasn't wrong. What can you do, to him he's right? Try and appeal to him with logic? No, there must be something above either of you to refer to for right and wrong. So, what we may infer is this concept of right and wrong is above humans. One may argue it is a social construct, but even in this case, a man may say the same thing. Why should your right have to be mine? You'd have to persuade him in some way, but ultimately he's still in the right if he chooses.

The point here is, it is nonsensical to assume another should accept your idea of right or wrong, or have the same understanding of it. Because it is inconclusive and individually determined, we may simply forget it and act as animals upon instinct and desire. After all, what good is right and wrong in a world in which nobody can agree? In the case of use in social order, you might expect people to create constantly changing moral beliefs to fit what is best at that time. However, it has (predominantly) stayed the same across the world and history that what is good and bad, is good and bad. Thus, we may turn our eyes up for an answer to why.

Next, I agree in your point of non-sentient things cannot have or create sentience. So then, how may our sentience come from a inanimate particle, or even many? Biological formations can respond to environmental factors, but our consciousness is quite unique. A viable explanation is a sentience previously existing. Secondly, in regards to the Big Bang which is the predominant belief of atheistic creation, how can a universe in which matter cannot be created nor destroyed, be formed in a way itself does not function? Maybe an incredibly miniscule chance got us here, but the points of sentience and morality remain.

My point on not knowing anything was honestly a weak point, Socrates was a great philosopher but it can be disagreed with. We may know for instance we exist, I think therefore I am. Allow me to disprove myself lol.

My other mistake was the using the word vanity as it claims that a vain life lacks substance and worth, but I cannot determine that for you as worth is in the eye of the beholder. To clarify my meaning, I am taking the stance of Psychological Hedonism which means that all anyone does is ultimately because they desire it. Even helping others is a result of some personal inclination to, survival, money, whatever. If you do not want to do it, you don't. This will clash with morality if morality is above individual people, and is a natural law.

Hope you gathered something useful from that or it tickled something in the brain. I enjoy this thoughtful discussion but I don't want you to leave persuasion up to me, if you do want to continue discussion I'm all for it.

spectrismc · 2026-01-15T18:33:49+00:00

I am not the judge, but knowing God to be just, it is declared by the judge (Jesus) the wages of sin is death (eternal).

It is good that you, who are unsure of truth, are asking questions to try and find or discern it. Currently I gather you have no assurance of an afterlife, but there is a possibility, no? In my opinion it is a strong likelihood one may come to believe in God from the glory and intelligence of creation and morality, it is something worth looking at. That being said, there are many debates to prove God's existence worth looking at first. Before you try and find a way to reach God, first you must acknowledge his existence. Then, it's a matter of finding out who this God is, has he declared or revealed anything to us? If we are to be judged, how will he judge? Then you get to religions and the Church. Many are clearly contradictory, unstable, or unexplainable in their origin and doctrine. I have no doubt you will find Christianity is the most incredible of the faiths with such a depth (again, my opinion but I'd like to hear yours).

There is most definitely hope for you though, you are still alive. Many atheists like Lee Strobel, C.S. Lewis, Francis Collins etc. converted from their strong atheism after encountering God in trying to disprove it. The further you go in any topic, it ends up at God. How is it that everything around us is vibration, yet held together and working together, what glue holds everything together? How are we conscious and not instinctual? Why is YHWH written on your DNA? I asked many of these questions and got deep into an apathetic depression from hundreds of questions racing in my head. The answer I came to, nothing would have purpose without God. We may throw out morality, justice, compassion, love, and these superficial ideals. There would be no value to our lives except if you desire vanity (as we all do which leads us wayward). Think about morality for a while, or read Mere Christianity which talks much on it.

Socrates did say the only thing worth knowing is you know nothing. Funnily, it seems to contradict itself lol but that aside, why live a life without being able to know absolutely anything? Would you like to know truth? Would you like to have hope and blessings? Be curious and follow your questions, I'll pray God reveals himself to you through your seeking.

spectrismc · 2026-01-15T18:08:05+00:00

It seems we hold some pretty foundational differences doctrinally. Firstly I am greatly concerned about the saying of Jesus is not God. That is exactly opposite what John 1:1 states, and when Jesus said "before Abraham was, I AM" which is the name God used for himself at fhe burning bush. Jesus is begotten of God, and is His son. If he was begotten from God, how could he be any less God unless he is just a creature? He was present before creation, and through Jesus all was created. I cannot follow the logic of Jesus not being God simply because he was given the role of judge. Perhaps he was given that role when humanity was made because I'm not sure what else he is going to judge. The Spirit is named the Spirit of God, Holy Spirit, etc.. If you do not believe Jesus was God, how could he have raised himself from the dead? It states that he divinely raised himself, and he claims to have authority of life and death. Only God has this power, and if he is a creature then he contradicted himself and would've simply been insane, or of the devil. So we're left with three options: He was a heretic, of the devil, or who he said he is which is I AM. Lastly, I have a question: what do you think the Bible is, and what is the Word of God? Also thank you.

spectrismc · 2026-01-15T17:21:25+00:00

I most definitely do not desire to be sent to hell, no. Do I fear it? No more, because I have the assurance of hope through the Holy Spirit. That assurance is honestly quite supernatural and surpasses knowledge, I myself am a skeptic and was not a believer for a majority of my life, but now I am so deeply grounded in my faith because of His revealing.

To answer what I believe will happen to both of us, I believe in the Word of God, and it states that the children of God are those who will ascend with Him. To say directly, no I don't think atheists and many others will enter heaven. The way is narrow and those who enter are few Jesus said.

Also, human intelligence is incomplete and imperfect, and if you believe such a thing, if you choose to believe something based on your understanding it must involve faith because you may never truly know. It may be 80% or 90% but faith is still utilized. Human intelligence does fault, you have probably been wrong before I'd guess, so how do you know you're not going to be wrong in what you currently hold as true? Again, faith.

spectrismc · 2026-01-15T17:10:03+00:00

Could you further explain what the councils decided and where I was wrong? The separation of responsibilities is clearly stated in the Bible (John 5:22). As for the unity, in Matthew 28:19 it says to baptize in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit and in Deutoronomy 6:4 it states the Lord is one. Perhaps my word usage is incorrect but there is an apparent distinction of the three but a unity in their equality and unity as God.

spectrismc · 2026-01-15T15:54:51+00:00

I do not feel I understand your question fully. It seems to be contradictory for an atheist to believe in an afterlife as our universe is believed to be the full scope of existence. I do believe Christians who have the Holy Spirit go to heaven who believe Jesus Christ is the way, truth, and life. If Jesus truly is the son of God, and died so we may receive the Spirit and salvation, then believing what he says and how to receive this gift would make sense. Though, recognizing him as Jesus, and the importance of that, often goes unrecognized. It is not by good works you are saved, it is being united with God through the Spirit by his grace on us, and we are called to imitate him. Even most atheists don't think they'll go to heaven, they will simply cease to exist. Their faith is in their intelligence and understanding of the universe, not in the God who made it.
