doing so much feeding this morning I may need an intervention
Having a wide array of mixed feelings about my relatively impromptu hedit experiences during Birthday Bash but my teammates were certainly able to make it work annnnnd I got to wear my neat hedit outfit that I never get to wear :D All in all just a really fun time (especially that romen RM game I was shaking sooo much at the end aahahahah)
In the end what finally got me over my series anxiety was just realizing it's better practice than open. Matchmaking is less weird since everyone's soloqing and both my teammates and opponents are generally taking things more seriously. Since I need all the good practice that I can get in the limited time that I have, it just makes sense to spend my time there.
I was at Big Dapple this past weekend (a LAN event in NYC) and it was so hype I think I have mild post-LAN depression now. One day I'm gonna be brave enough to actually play at one but even just spectating and soaking up the vibes was soooo much fun it's unbelievable. If I could afford to travel all the time I would just go to every LAN ever because that energy gives me life.
Used dapples the entirety of DzNutsKup and I'd say it worked out pretty well. Specifically playing red dapples in a competitive setting has put me a lot more in tune with the rhythms and cycles that make up the way that matches tend to flow (specifically since cooler is such a large part of that) and it feels like the game just makes more sense to me in general than it did say, a couple months ago.
in my newest system of Trying To Get Better At The Video Game I've re-framed Practice Techniques as Experiments which A) encourages me to make up/try out different methods of practice even if I'm not sure they'll work for me and B) permits me to conclude that a technique may not being right/effective for me if it doesn't work instead of just assuming it's me being bad at everything ever forever and ever.
I have been sooooo overwhelmed with work for the past month and a half but I feel like things are finally starting to slow down and I can spend a little more time on the things that make me happy (like catching up on squidboards)
I have finally played enough vDapple that it's taken second place in my top 3 weapons on my summary page. I am manifesting dapple meta it will be real.
I got my second ever silver the other night in open (my first was from a challenge I got 1000% carried in lol) and I am just so happy about this. I feel like I'm more routinely getting bronze when I group with people too and it just feels hopeful. It's so hard to tangibly measure progress in any form but like... this probably can't mean anything bad, hah.
I keep falling behind on checking squidboards and I blame work and having to prioritize my limited free time. But things are getting better. I am optimistic.
Reach was exhausting y'all.
okay how's this (I don't even play half of these in any regularity so this mostly a list of weapons I have any positive feelings about whatsoever at this period in time lol)
lol I played with making one of those personal weapon pool tier lists but despite having a really small weapon pool I can't make it work just because every single weapon really belongs in its own weirdly specific category.
I finally got my shipping notification for my splatfest shirt last night! Better late than never I suppose.
tried out carbon deco in open for the first time today and it went better than expected. I think this weapon may have a thing or two to teach me.
used vdapples in a scrim last night and I'm really glad I did. I don't know that I was as effective as I could have been (it's really hard to tell what your impact is with beakons and cooler) but it got me thinking differently in a way that I think may have finally pulled me out of the weird rut I've been in since the start of the season.
The post-fest emotional hangover is real
if you thought I was kidding about getting up at 6am for scorch gorge tricolor you would be WRONG
This is THE BEST tricolor map change my mind
I am going to be obnoxiously overwhelmingly sentimental and emotional about the grand festival and none of you can stop me. AAAAAaaaAAAAaaAAAa
