Diary of a Middle Aged Tekken Scrub

  But I'm stuck in a life where I play video games to have fun

 I was discharged from the hospital a few days, so I'm fully a survivor, mostly intact too, just missing my appendix. Had to miss the whole hatsune miku event in Sonic Racing though. That kind of sucked. But I'm out in time to do the minecraft event, watch Evo France, and now play Armor King, that counts for something right? Oh and its spooky month too, so maybe ill play something scary.  Anyways I survived..

          Now it makes me wonder, why haven't they tried to engineer a way to put advertisements into our dreams? Is that too unethical? Imagine an unskippable mid roll ad in one of your dreams? Or even product placement in the background of your dreams, that would actually be so cool right?

     A week later after my last post. Oh Happy New Year or whatever. I got into Gold 3, and with 2 days left in Season 0, and with the weekend being over, I don't have the time to climb any higher. Bronze is a real struggle, it really feels like you have to try so hard to win down there compared to silver, it almost doesn't make sense. No wonder the game tells you youre ranked higher than 75% of the game when you get into gold though. You just lose points no matter what if your team loses, and your team will lose a lot down there. Silver was a struggle too, but just less of a struggle, even if you're going against "better" opponents. Oh well, we will see how hard the grind is when Season 1 starts soon.  

  So, we have a few days left in 2024, let's make one of my resolutions in 2025 to blog a bit more creatively. And to document the things I do more. So to kick it off. Let me start with my progress playing ranked in Marvel Rivals. If you don't already know what Marvel Rivals is, its a game that came out this month, developed by Netease, and I definitely have a weird bias to Netease 3rd person shooters. Basically Overwatch with Marvel superheroes and in 3rd person. A lot of the same game types, and character types. But being in 3rd person allows it to feel more like a brawler than a shooter, and there's a focus on combos and animation cancels that make it feel more like playing Anarchy Reigns than it is playing Overwatch. I've been having a lot of fun with it. I've only played maybe 4 games of competitive, in my 88 (40 according to the ingame) hours of playing the game so far, so I haven't actually begun yet, but this is the start. Let's see how things turn o...

  Happy Thansgiving, I guesss.... If Fromis_9 arent staying together as a group making more music, then what is there even to be thankful for? Now what?
