Hello, I was thinking of stuff to add to my stream channel and decided a blog to just spill out my thoughts would be something nice. I might move on to blogspot or something later on, but it's been a while since my last Teamliquid post and I feel nostalgic. The theme of this blog is a bit of everything!

For my personal life, I've been kind of busy, researching and applying to jobs. I am going to figure out everything in the next week so that will be a refreshing change of pace. In the meantime, I took a bit of a break from streaming StarCraft ladder. I've been feeling kind of lethargic and stagnant hence the break. My highest MMR was 5.3k. I still ladder on a smurf where I'm 5.2k. For that account, sometimes I play with no music and always off stream. Still the amount of time laddering has decreased drastically. I've been playing tons more co-op mode (where you and a partner complete objectives against the AI) so anyone is welcome to join whenever I'm streaming it. Doesn't matter if you're a beginner, I'll do my best to carry. I've also been streaming some Don't Starve: Shipwrecked too. I've messed up terribly during every stream run: (my treasure chests caught on fire, struck by lightning, death by my own boomerang)

Besides that, I feel like I've been stuck with the same issues in StarCraft 2. Getting supply blocked and spending money.

I've brainstormed and I think some of the ways to offset this would be:

-After 44 supply, make 2 overlords every inject.
-Every time I inject, make it a habit to look at the resources tab. Injecting queens should be muscle memory so I don't have to look at the inject process. This can solve the floating money problem.
-"Stephano style"- make a buncha overlords at once, I won't die (I hope).
-Macro hatch to spend extra monies after three hatcheries are saturated.


I've also been thinking of streaming Hearthstone more. It's a bit grindy but if I get this job, I'll have a bus commute where I can play HS on my phone. I enjoy playing Arena as well, and I have no delay in my channel so chat interaction should be a lot smoother. I like hearing others' advice for ladder play and building arena decks.

I have a cat now, her name is Elsie and she is a f7 bengal:

Boyfriend and I have also been making keycaps, these are two shot with unsanded bottoms:

My hobby is collecting artisan keycaps:

I love my keyboard, Filco Majestouch 2 with enjoyPBT black/pink Korean keycaps:

Also I moved to Seattle. The summers are the most beautiful I've ever seen in my life. Temperatures are fantastic from 70-85 degrees Fahrenheit, my friends in Cali are complaining about 100+ degrees. The sun sets at 9 PM. That's so odd.

Well, that's it! That was my random blog. Thanks for reading!

How is everyone else doing? How's your StarCraft ventures, streams, hobbies, prospects?

I like watching your stream for the Starcraft and the music , I like watching someone trying to get better.

Other games are fun occasionally but I don't really have an interest in watching someone grind Hearthstone

i'm currently in the Platinum league and having fun. Usually by the end of the season i make it up to Diamond. i play primarily as Terran and dabble with Random.

I like playing SC2 1v1s and watching the GSL. Starcraft2 is still a lot of fun. i live in Toronto; The temperatures are similar to Seattle because i'm right beside Lake Ontario. The lake has a similar effect on moderating extreme temperatures as an ocean does.

i'm moving to Buffalo, New York in 6 months.

@ChillhopSC

I'm planning to still stream StarCraft. Just play Hearthstone when I'm done laddering, like a wind-down game. I completely understand though, Hearthstone can be a bit boring to some people for sure. Sometimes, I am even falling asleep when I stream on my computer. Most of the time, I'm playing on my phone right before I go to sleep.

@JimmyJRaynor

Yeah I've been playing random too, mostly cheeses. I kinda take what others do against me on my main Zerg account and try to pull off a crappy version of it. I hope your move goes along smoothly!

@ninazerg

Sure! I've never ever played SC:R team games though :OOO

Ontario is in steep decline and its taking Toronto with it. i'm outta here.

+ Show Spoiler +
Ontario is getting hit brutally hard with auto and steel tariffs. the auto industry is crumbling due to new import rules. The Liberals lied about the debt.. in 2002 the debt was $0. After the brutal 1990 recession the debt was $10 Billion. Currently, the province is $321 Billion in debt.

Ontario is going down and its taking Toronto with it.

I've also been getting into Hearthstone the past week while spending no real money. I've progressed pretty quickly. It's fun to build a deck slowly from scratch because you see your deck grow w/ every card pack. Each time you upgrade a card or add a new rare card, you're nurturing and seeing that deck grow into something amazing.


Yeah I love seeing progression. That's why I'm a big fan of the dungeon runs, you keep adding a new bundle and see some new combos evolve out of it. Your free to play reminds me of Trump's free mage deck where he hit legend from a while back. Is it similar?
