8 / 1 / 2025 I think im starting to get pretty decent at CS. I can keep my KD around 1:2 in most games, and ive been playing a lot more competitive. Ive learned more in the first few hours of comp then in 40 of casual, and thats kinda crazy to me. Its a really scary game to get into and i never thought id be able to keep my head above the water against people who actually have their monitors on. Im still pretty terrible at the game, but improvement is improvement! Ive also been drawing a bit more- mostly just practice, but ill probably post some stuff on my bluesky Oh! i also went through and changed all the links that dont like embeds and made them just open in a new tab when you click them instead of still opening in a new window here. I do still need to work on performance though. (this page makes my phone very very warm TwT) Ive still been playing splatoon 3, but before yesterday it was sort of a once a week thing, but im trying to actually get back into it. I want to at least get into X battle this season, cause i know i have what it takes (as cringy as that sounds) to perform really well. 90% of my games i end up dumpstering on the enemy team but we still lose because im the only one in my match with their monitor plugged in. Ive been trying to play way more team-centric but its barely making a difference. im also trying to switch off of the more goofy weapons like carbon roller or tri stringer, since its really really hard to perform well consistantly against any other weapon (major cope i know). im fine at tri stringer, but fine at tri stringer is much less farorable then really good at c-liter (which im a little proud of :3). im not at 360 levels of skill but i can hit some crazy flicks, even though i usually play in handheld mode when im in bed lmao. Ive also been playing a lot of tacticooler n-zap (i know, i know. im sorry.. its just so good...) and from the three matches i did with it i pulled off like average of 16-5 each round. ended up winning all three, too. There is nothing more scary then a soda buffed hydra with 57ap move speed. so scary, infact, that they lost control of their walking speed and walked directly off the map and into the water. S+ anarchy battle at its finest. Im hoping that if i practice a lot with nzap and keep playing some c-liter here and there i can make my way into some comp teams later down the line, or at least just play x battle and go for high power. I really like this game, i hope i can keep playing it with cool people :3 One thing that i dont like about the nzap however, is how boring it is to use. like sure i love high mobility and flying around the map and around enemies but shooting the thing just feels so lame. Im used to guns like in TF2 where they all just go BAM and then the guy in front of you dies because your shotgun deals a ton of damage at close range. A lot of guns in splatoon are sustained fire tracking slog fests. Thats partially why i really loved weapons like liter, stringer, carbon (when played like youre high on crack), and tenta (which i play very similarly to how i play carbon). The former two are very satisfying to one tap people from far away if you can get a good shot in, while the latter two are super awesome if you can out manuever your enemy to get close enough to one shot them with a close range swing or blast. I still love liter, but i feel like stringer isnt as consistant as i want it to be. Carbon i love, but it feels like it shouldnt be or just isnt viable in many comp matchups. And tenta brella just isnt for cqc. Its not even really for using, its basically a paperweight when played defensively, and a glass cannon when played offensively. im most definitly using it completely wrong by being aggro, but still. I liked nzap because it was a consistant damage dealer with a good team supporting special and a good sub, but the sustained fire just feels so uncool. I definitely feel very cool when i do my stupid movement tech to take someone out that i really shouldnt have been able to, but at the end of the day, its so much less satisfying then rushing up to a poor range weapon and just going BAM. Im definitly gonna keep playing, but im shifting my mains to c-liter and n-zap. maybe some hydra if we need ranged dps. As always im still playing TF2. some friends and i have decided that we're gonna record us playing and ill edit it down into youtube videos. We spent about 4 hours playing today and there were a lot of video-worthy funny moments that happened. We were trying to do some bootleg soundsmith bits, but the only one that really worked at all was sitting in 2fort sewers as machina snipers at each end and just shooting anyone who dropped down. our goal was to get a collat kill but it never happened. Sniper is so easy its not even funny, i almost feel bad for that one. Our first idea we had was to buy an ap-sap each and torment some engineers by spamming its voice lines while cloaked, but sadly other players cant hear the stupid british robot yap. 3: After about 2 ish hours we got bored and started playing MvM. Nothing really crazy happened, except friend A kept talking in voice chat about how rich and handsome they were to try to piss off this random baby pyro player. it worked extremely well, to the point that the kid was basically screaming insults at them. some of them were really good lmao. Another pyro in a different match was also airblasting the buster away from my sentries which was nice. nice, if it wasnt directly into my dispenser with the entire team around it. thanks pyro. Tomorrow morning we're hoping to play more and record more stupid crap. we might even actually play the game instead of doing stupid bits, who knows. If we ever record enough crap to make a full-length video ill link it here. im really excited to edit, i have some fun ideas for some smooth transitions between maps, and we want to do gmod skits of our stupid convos when nothing interesting is happening ingame. I also turned my sensitivity down. By a lot. I was doing really well before, but im doing comically well now. I used to play with my sensitivity at 9. Raw input. Nine sens. Anyways i now play at 4.5 lmfao It took a few weeks to slowly move down (every time i launched the game id reduce it by a bit) but its so much easier to consistantly hit shots. Looking back at some old recordings i have no idea how i could even aim let alone get meatshots with that sensitivity. I would flick around and shoot like an insane person. Glad i switched lol Still mostly an engi main, but ive been playing a lot more defensive engi then i usually do. I usually play battle engi but ive been focusing on defense a bit more. I mostly start with stock, and if i see my gun has a kill on it i swap to the frontier justice (i cant resist free crits, even if its just two lmao). I recently bought a strange warpaint for my jag, and now thats getting pretty high. Its already got a few hundred sentry kills on it in the two weeks ive had it for. Still pales in comparison to my market gardener at 564 (364 gardens iirc) or my panic attack at 970. Ive also been playing a lot of hybrid knight. I used to play a crap ton of demoknight but after going a pretty long time just playing stock demo, ive come to appreciate both sides of his playstyle. Currently im running iron bomber, tide turner, and the claymore for flashy charges or escapes. (although i usually just charge with my grenade launcher out. free kills !! also, im almost done with ISOTOPE. Those of you who have seen it on my bsky page can probably put the peices together. Currently i have seven levels left to make. Im very very excited to get this one out to you guys! I love making cc mods :3 oh, and look out for a bigger announcment sometime soonish :3 6 / 30 / 2025 Been playing a lot of CS2, and i dont care what anyone says, its so peak im utterly trash at the game, but so far im doing a lot better then i thought id be doing! i can keep myself alive all round and usually take 2-3 people out per game. Ive been doing super well with the M4A1-S on CT side, and usually on T i grab a TEC-9 and an AK-47. Ive been having a lot of fun with the CZ, since it can take ppl down at close range super quick. I really love the shotguns too, especially since they take zero skill to use properly, lol. I can barely keep my KD ratio positive, but im still learning how to play pretty quick. Managed even get a few aces in casual the day after i started playing! probably entierly luck, but it felt so awesome. pretty much half my games i end up dying to someone whod been awping down some random choke all game, who probably has more hours in cs2 then hours ive been alive on this planet, but every death is a learning experience. Dont peek that, wallbang that door before you enter, have someone with range go ahead of you, smoke sightlines before crossing, ect. I also added a gallery page!! You can access it at /main/gallery!! also redid some css, like for images and text. Need to work on site performance... Some people have been having trouble loading the page, and its a bit laggy for others. I manage to finally get around to setting all the vendor prefixes though, but i used some online tool to do it automatically. 6 / 23 / 2025 Oh my god TF2 update announced Holy shit TF2 update Okay calm down Okay august 27th is the mvm update. praying its not just like 3 maps. Would be funny, tho lol I hope they add new australiums or something, that would be nice. On the other hand, halloween update right after is also super hype. My theory is itll be on the 10th of october, since thats the game's 18th anniversary. Maybe on the 16th, and theyll go "after 8 years in waiting, hopefully this update will have been worth the wait." Havent updated this in a bit, sorry about that! i dont do enough interesting things to blab about D: 6 / 15 / 2025 Big run over! Managed to get a 140 something, which is nice. I love salmon run Havent been doing much, but i have been playing a gamemode in TF2 called "mgedit", which is kinda like ultimate chicken horse but in tf2. Basically i have two of my friends fight in a map i make / squish down, and whoever loses best 3/5 gets to make an edit to the map. We did like 5 rounds and the map is already unplayable lmfao Might not update this for a few days, or at least until i have something to show in my current projects :3 6 / 13 / 2025 Thinking about selling some old consoles- i just havent used my vita, wiiu, 3ds, ect in so long. Idk if i should just sell them to some local game store or try and get them going on ebay or something, but anything is better then letting them sit collecting dust. lmk if youre interested at all, but theyre nothing special. Console gaming just doesnt really appeal to me as much as it used to- I mean of course im still obsessed with my switch oled, i play splatoon way too much- but my older consoles i just dont even touch anymore. My 3ds broke a bit ago (which was devestating to say the least) but i managed to save all my save files from when i was little. My wiiu on the other hand i bought exclusively to play with family, and they never want to anymore :p I got an interview for a job! (its nothing special, just some mcDonalds near me.) finally people will stop calling me broke yess i love capitalism!!! Minimum wage here is like $15 an hour so im pretty excited. Planning on getting a drawing tablet, and maybe a pentax Q camera if i can find one for a good price online. Maybe a switch 2. Maybe. Oh, and i definitly need a better laptop. My current specs arent great, (/blog/specs) but they work. Barely. Been playing a lot of urchin underpass- The map is so fun. I dont care what anyone says! its peak!! I discovered that if the color is BlueYellow and youre on alpha team (blue ink), you can sit in squid form on top of the vending machine on bravo's side, and youre practically invisible, the colors match so well. Did this in an s-rank game and managed to get my entire team behind their rainmaker carrier lmfao (we still lost tho TwT) Something tf2 and splatoon players have in common. Never looking up. Also, the "Inkjet CQC on tristringer" thing is actually working way better then i thought it would. Ive been doing this thing where i pop it behind cover, then swim with ninja into their whole team and just.. appear. No one expects an inkjet with 20ap special power up to just matirialize directly above them its so funny Pretty much every time ive tried this ive either team wiped, or gotten like 1-2 key picks and died instantly (which is still not bad since i usually go after objective carriers first, and then like whatever range or dps they have second. mostly just whoevers closest though lmao) i know trading in this game isnt really that smart at times but its so funny i cant just not do it. its like zip squiffer- its not smart, but its REALLY funny. 6 / 12 / 2025 Last day of classes! just finishing some finals today, nothing special. Been playing a lot with the rgb tri-stringer in splatoon 3- The new kit is super fun. I already ran inkline tristringer with thermal ink for easy kills over cover, but with angle shooter i can be maximally evil to everyone who thinks theyre safe standing behind a giant wall. The law of gravity in action. Inkjet might have a lot of utility when used like a normal person, but i prefer my own strats. I WILL USE JET FOR CQC. DO NOT TRY ME. I feel bad for the tempered dynamo--- i mean emberz dynamo player, who thought "yeah i should be safe against the stringer, ill just get on tower and cap the point." who i blasted point blank with the jet. Might mess with the css of the site a bit more. i wanna make the background more sparkly. Maybe i could take some photos and overlay the gradient over them? probably using hard mix or multiply blending. I should probably also make it more smartphone-friendly. hmm. Also ive been working on a few celeste classic mods. one of them, im really excited to finish!! Kinda like 2d dredge, if you will. I ended up making my own modbase to work on this, since i didnt actually need 90% of evercore. You can find it at https://github.com/CelesteClassic/applecore 6 / 11 / 2025 Made this page! I dont know if im going to update it frequently, but it sure is fun to use! Its definitly not as practical as just using the web browser, but at least it can break through some block lists and filters. This is a ton of fun to work on! The css was a lot of fun to do- especially all the animations and such. As much as i hate javascript, i still love making sites and things, just for the hell of it. web design is my passion added: main page added: local pages - blog - games - info - social added: secret pages - youll just have to find them yourself >:3 Omg switch 2!? And splatoon 3 update? splatoon raiders???? Ill rant about it at /blog/s2 if you want to read!
