hey you! yeah, you! got any tasty star bits?

My body has added another food to its "no we can't eat that" list and I knew it was likely from the prior occasion buuuuut this one confirmed it, which is how I'm awake at 7am and have only just climbed into bed now I'm not semi-living in the bathroom. Said food is sorbet. How sugar flavoured ice is causing an issue I don't know: nothing on the ingredients list is a trigger. The more fun recent one was the brand of tinned pineapple being different than usual and my body deciding it can eat it as is... but not reheated as leftovers, whilst the usual is fine don't care whatever. There is no other ingredient in this but pineapple. I don't understand that one at all lmao.

Whilst waiting it out (and trying to move around a little between bathroom visits) I started tackling emptying my bookcases in anticipation of putting doors on them - they need to be dusted and wiped down first, and for basic safety, should also be cleared - and did six of eighteen slots. True I did half of two earlier today but had an epiphany that I could stack books in portions of my new kallax whilst also putting figures carefully into drawers and/or boxes. My desk is mostly clear; it now has three large boxes on it that can be moved onto my bed whilst the new bookcases are assembled, though I still need to empty remaining drawers, which I'll do next. Old bookcases and doors may not even be next time we do furniture assembly depending on how long new plus doors takes, how long it takes me to do it and if I can find other places to stash everything in it that doesn't require the new bookcases being assembled, but we'll see how far I manage...

It's so bitty and frustrating because I have to be so regimented and careful about how much gets done when and I won't see any benefit from it for months. But I'm trying, whilst also having to fend off my parents expecting more progress than I can give... it didn't help that we were delayed by a few weeks due to an Ikea mess up so I couldn't even start cleaning things and rotating them around whilst other furniture is changed out or upgraded, but again. Trying despite my body's continuous bullshit.

Now mogtomes is over, I should really get back to Stormblood msq... or other games I wanted to play, woops.



In the meantime: yeah it was absolutely worth doing last minute pvp for this.

All-star get!!! Climbing through pro with the reduced gain from wins is no joke - it took about as long to break out of those five divisions as it did to do the other four ranks that came before it. But, I did it 😤 I exclusively played Juno aside from a handful of Mercy games at the end, and Mercy is much easier (one of her powers makes her ult super busted) but you have to spend a lot of your build making up for her diminishing returns and compensating for healing reductions the enemy team should and will apply, which I know from all my time spent on Juno. Juno is still my favourite though. Love a torpedo build.

I'll grab all my builds at some point... would be nice to document. I'm still going to keep playing ofc, we're racking up so many comp points doing so, but I've earned a bit of a break from hours of stadium a night (where did the Rems go who didn't like this mode... this is what happens when the dps passive in standard gameplay is too high...)

As you can see I'm in elite for tank and dps. Tanking is weird. You have to make yourself incredibly self sufficient and be a thousand percent aware of what the enemy team has for their powers and not overstay your welcome, even when your team is nagging you. I once had my supports complaining about me not diving - into five people, a bad idea - and the enemy tank is an Orisa, and she'll just use her uninterruptible, I have zero movement, five second long spin to knock me into a wall and kill me so no no I am not getting that close to her, sry. That said they were actually allowing me to do tank things and make space; a lot of this mode people don't want to cart sit, so I end up doing it regardless of my role. Tanks should never be doing this :') Juno is fine because I can heal from a distance and have high movement, Ashe is infuriating because I am sacrificing my match cash to push but again someone's gotta and she doesn't work well in spawn camps as the distance is too close, but D.Va??? I should never be on car duty. Anyways.

Dps is far and away the easiest role tbqh. So long as you play with your team and get your butt on point when necessary, and do your damage to force resource expenditure, it'll go fine. And sometimes you'll die alone on point and your team will magically decide they want to touch it then. Come on y'all let me set things on fire in peace.
