It was such a fun Big Run but I am so tired, hah.

I didn't get to play as much as I wanted but I got to EVP 800-something and I am happy about that. I really hope we see this map again one day; maybe in the rotation of future Big Big Runs? High tide was rough though ngl

It is a beautiful day to be on squidboards :>

Also I am so excited for Grand Run! I am really curious about the extra perma-cannon mechanic. I'm guessing the map is going to be extra large? It would be interesting if it was designed in such a way that eggs were easier to obtain, to assist in the global quota efforts. (This stuff has probably been datamined already but I'm avoiding that level of spoiler, hah)

I made a very large peach pie to celebrate the end of the season (also I really like peach pie and this was first time ALL SUMMER I was actually able to find enough peaches at an affordable price for some reason). It is a good day (but I am also very tired from working in the kitchen all day).

What a weird night. I know I'm playing better than I have been in a long time; I can feel it, but I won an entire two out of twenty games this evening and I... don't know what to chalk that up to. I'm feeling too good to let it bother me but it's still like... ?????

Anyway, at least I got my X-placements done. Numbers!

AaaaaaaAAaAaa there isn't a rainmaker X rotation til midnight (when I should be asleep) and the one after that is at 8am (when I have a work meeting). It's really not that big a deal and I'll probably be able to catch the one after, but... I have just gone entirely from being apprehensive to antsy overnight, lol

my first X battle was on haggle zones (lol) and I specifically got totally steamrolled. BUT at least I did one. Finally.

Though really I don't know what I expected; I shouldn't be doing this at nearly midnight when I'm beyond exhausted and have work in the morning anyway but I'm just running out of time x.x and it's not like I can sleep anyway.

Something kind of funny in my old weapon notes is me having a meltdown over the new sploosh kit announcement because it was literally my first main but with the special from my second (wail from inkbrush) and sub from my third (beakons from vdapples). It felt tailor-made for the person I was in drizzle season '22, but by the time it showed up I was a very different person. It just felt a little tragic, lol.

Honestly, weekends like this past one are what life is all about. The whole point of being a boring responsible day-job-having bill-paying adult is so that you can have going-with-whatever-feels-right weekends doing the things that you love with your friends. Like these are the actual important things in life and everything else just exists to make these things possible.

I really need to do X battles before the season resets but I want to be in good mental shape for it for the sake of my teammates and instead I have been chronically sleep deprived and overworked for like three weeks and can't seem to get myself back on track and now I'm getting sick :C

BUT!

[insert something positive and optimistic here (I know it exists I just haven't thought of it yet because. tired.)]

This recent gold grizzco rotation got me my first silver map badge and I am happy about that! I only was aiming for bronze but then silver came naturally in the process of grinding scales. I feel like I've come a long way with figuring out how to handle the grizzco weapons well :>

If I had a nickel for every time I wrote like an essay length post only to be like... 'eh... nah.' I could probably buy like... I dunno, a gas station coffee. which isn't much but it's not nothing.

Back on my spreadsheet nonsense again, this time trying to figure out how hard it is to get gold brand badges since I have hit the money cap a couple times now (and I don't find gambling satisfying, blasphemy I know.)

If anyone's got any techniques/tips/drills/etc for just getting the basic mechanics of wiper ingrained into my muscle memory, I am open. Ideally if they can be practiced in the lobby (because I'm able to do that during boring work meetings lol) I just need something a little more goal-oriented/focused than my current... meandering around trying to hit targets from different angles.

Had a conversation with my team the other day about what weapons I should try to branch out into and all the possibilities are exciting and I am looking forward to learning new things, but boy, my first several attempts with other weapons have been so rough going, this is going to take while to adjust to.

Feeling really sentimental that not only did I get my lucky ink color for my final game to rank up, but that it happened on Mahi Zones.

My very first ever anarchy game was on Mahi Zones. Such a fitting end to this chapter.
