I'm winding down on this version of twitter but want to leave a quick update on how that went: I'm still incredibly motivated to practice, started remaking my states with tighter controls on execution and even more new strats, and found something new in st5 (I think)

BTW remade my states and it looks like if I got everything perfectly (and I didn't, I let a few things go) I'd just barely poke over 9m. Realistically this means I need to continue learning new strats, but if I were to commit to a grind right now my goal would be 8.5m.

I'm through stage 6 on the re-reroute and about 270k ahead of the previous reroute, so on easy 9+m pace for a "theoretical best".

if it's not obvious what's happening from the videos, I'm getting 8 locks on the first time through those tanks instead of the usual 7, which literally doubles the value of that chain and is worth about 25k.

I'm remaking my Rayforce practice states to see what my current potential is after adding a handful of new strats, including the death abuse in the first stage. No idea yet whether this will translate to attempts in the immediate term, but I'd like to see how close to 9m I am.

I think the only reason I haven't abandoned ship here yet is uncertainty over whether I even want to migrate to a similar platform at all or whether, perhaps, news tickers for your hobbies come at too steep a price. Either way, it's been a time. Stay safe and I'm rooting for you.

If there's any lesson to learn here, it's that I'm highly vulnerable to even the slightest peer pressure. I'm now on the other twitter with the expected handle.

related: bring back the first-person RTS. I think there was a lot of space left to explore in this subgenre, but all we really got were two and a half games in a two-year span
Like this post if you have at least heard of the OG BattleZone '98 (not the arcade classic). RT if you played and enjoyed it. For Science™️

someday I'll get to play galuda on PCB with all four buttons. Today wasn't that day, but the machine was well kept otherwise and of my two credits, one cleared, so not a waste of my time by any means. Played at Capital City Classic Arcade, New Westminster

Pac-Man is essentially what he believes but Being it enjoy the Sega Rally2? Do you know the Sega Rally2? Did you buy it? Which car was chosen? Is it fast? GO! Questions philosophers shall ponder on for eternity

didn't do that yet but I did have a couple minutes to bang out this incredibly sloppy 500m. I'll be back to improve that later, probably.

On the plane I must have slipped into an alternate dimension where keeping fuckin toothpaste under lock and key at the grocery store is a fine and normal thing
