Got invited to a 2XKO event at Riot HQ. Awesome campus, awesome people. Truly a lifestyle embedded in the culture there.
Had a great time hanging out and pressing some buttons. Got some advice from the devs on my team comp and playstyle and how to evolve my team without compromising my core values.

I've concluded that being severely overweight sucks, so I've been working out and managing my intake a lot better these days.
Minor but consistent results so far, exactly as it should be. My focus is to maintain this energy through the holidays.
Lost 80lbs before, will do it again permanently.

Just watched a video of Ahri/Yasuo double down fuse, performing a ToD combo on Ekko off of a grounded parry. 48 hits. Dead.
Ahri did two supers during the combo, tagged, and Yasuo chained two supers after tagging in. Starting to think one super per character per combo should be a thing.

I have 13 security updates to do on my phone. One for each month I'm behind.
I'm halfway done any my whole interface looks different. Went from 6.1 to 7.0 UI version and now I need to relearn my phone. 😞

Now that I'm up in the diamond ranks, the Teemo army is really grinding my gears. Ekko is ever present as well so I'm really gonna be forced to switch up my team.
Will I turn my back on a lifetime of big bodies and choose Ekko or Yasuo? Will I return to Illaoi? Or should I wait for new champs? TBD.

Watching #2XKO being played at high level at #EvoFrance2025 and seeing elite pros struggle with the mixups and seeing random stray hits decide a full game makes me feel much better about my gameplay.
Getting blown up or totally steamrolling is just the game. I kinda love it.

Between the patch notes, system changes, and Warwick releasing in parallel with Teemo, I can say with confidence that the team for 2XKO is firing on all cylinders. The timing is kinda perfect for the open beta.
You can bet your ass I'll be a battlepass and skin purchaser. Effort should be rewarded.

Lowkey kinda glad Riot accidently leaked the next 2XKO character after Teemo. The thought of having to fight a Jinx/Teemo team while using my Darius/Blitz team was bringing me down.
Gives me something to look forward to.

Doesn't mean much but I managed to climb the ranks a bit before the big reset.

I keep telling my self Illaoi is not a natural fit for my playstyle yet keep trying to force it to work. Not only that she also has low synergy with Darius, my actual natural fit character.
Time to face reality and join the Blitzkrank army.

I see stuff like this and I'm reminded of two things:
- Most people have seriously trash takes.
- I've been playing fighting games longer than most of these people have been breathing air.

I'm using 2XKO as a chance for me to really learn a fighting game again. I haven't bonded with a fighting game since Soul Calibur 2, however when I played the alpha lab, I found myself falling deep into this game.
At 48 years old I'm curious to see how much I can maintain that type of energy.

To be honest, I really wanted to take tomorrow off from work to immerse myself in 2XKO, but application server upgrades through this coming Wednesday night will not allow it.
Thank god this beta is not limited, otherwise I'd feel legit cursed.

I keep rewatching the Blitzcrank footage of 2XKO in disbelief that I'm about to get my hands on that character.
I already have my Astaroth character in the form of Darius, and now I'm getting my Iron Tager/Potemkin in Blitzcrank.
It's been decades since I've had so much to look forward to.

Been trying to get rid of these ants for months, only to realize they have two whole colonies in the potted plants on my balcony.

Less than a month and @2xko.riotgames.com came through to bless us.
Feels lowkey like a hot take, but I'm still really excited for 2XKO.

Vampire Survivors, is way deeper than I expected and I went in expecting a lot. But come on man, the game keeps unlocking more stuff and not letting me finish.
I havent even reached the point of DLC yet 😵💫

Did my first AirBNB as a weekend in Palm Springs with my wife's family. I enjoy her family and everything, but there were no "plans" to do anything. So the experience left much to be desired. 6 out of 10 overall, could have saved that money.

Found out my wife has never played an Animal Crossing game and had to fix that this weekend. She's a "Mario" casual gamer, so I've been having fun exploring gaming with her. Its been one day and AC already hooked her 😂.
