I think my YT Music recap looks pretty spot on. Twice holding firm at the top again but with NiziU hot on their heels.

This is such a cool secondary mechanic to the umbrella in WWM! Just unfortunate that it has an endurance cost.

The cr.HP into DP is coming out a lot more consistently. So now I've freed up some brain power to start thinking about what comes after. This is the current highest damage combo that I can do (relatively consistently) with Viper. And I can also see how I can improve on it too. She's really fun!

Definite progress with Viper this morning. My fingers just suddenly started getting cr.HP into DP working a bit more consistently. Slowly starting to adjust to her playstyle in a few places.

Viper is pretty cool but (as expected) her inputs are breaking my brain. AKI doesn't have a DP so that input isn't automatic for me yet - just going to have to work on it.
Anyways, this punish combo feels so good to do!

I was honestly expecting the usual ~100 views from family and friends so numbers like this are unfathomable to me.
Once, your passion and kindness is truly on another level. Thank you.

I can't freaking believe it! This time last week I was thinking I was going to be stuck in mid-silver for a while because I was playing so badly. And then I went on a big win streak and suddenly I'm now in Gold! 😄🥳
AKI is cool!

Into Silver 3 we go with the crazy, poisonous lady! Starting to see more interesting people with wacky strategies. But they're also testing my fundamentals which are showing slight signs of improvement - which makes me happy. And I'm starting to hold my own against more plat players in unranked too!

When I started watching high level AKI gameplay, I would see players fit a quick standing light kick into their BnB combos. I thought I'd never be dexterous enough to do it myself but a few months later I'm starting to believe that maybe I actually can do it!

Warning: A.K.I. jump scare
I don't know if I should feel bad about this. Like, I've lost 12-0 a bunch of times but when you do it to someone else you hope it's not demoralizing or anything. But I guess that is the process of learning how the game works. 🤷

After several hours of learning the mechanics and parry timings. Of tweaking my party configurations and builds a bunch of times. Of praying to the Roulette gods to help me bypass the back end of the fight, I finally beat the hardest boss in @expedition33.bsky.social. Incredible fight. Phew

Gaming has got progressively more expensive in South Africa over the past few years. But to see this table showing that Doom: The Dark Ages is being sold at 142% above Valve's Suggested Price is craaaazy.

It might be a seemingly uneventful clip but I'm so proud of myself. I always rush at the end but I stayed patient this time and found my opportunity. 😊

With a sliver of health left, facing a drive impact that would surely end me, I pulled out the most clutch critical art I've ever done to win this match from this situation 😅.

Pretty pleased to get to this milestone with A.K.I. using classic controls. Slowly progressing along 😊.

Onwards and upwards! I've worked my way out of the bottom rungs of the ranked ladder. I'm definitely starting to feel more comfortable with Classic controls - starting to do things with more intentionality now.
And slowly learning from my many mistakes.
