Funny Ranked Teams: Finals Edition

While I spent the finals being salty about losing my first break match to a troll evade rat and subsequently anti-evade Yozu-blasting my way through (and by the way, if you put an evade on a rat in order to troll people, may I say: you’re the absolute worst and I hope you turn into a witch,) I found more funny team names and took shots of them.

Starting off appropriately, a team aptly named, “Fuck Kyubey”. The Kuroe makes it a lot funnier and sadder all at once.

“Chemical Farmer”. I don’t get it, but it’s still a funny mental image.

“Shigure Hagumu (New Wives)” They’re running Shige and Hagu as well! I don’t know why Yuna and Hikaru are there, since I sincerely hope the OP isn’t shipping those two. (Reminder: Yuna is 17, Hikaru is *13*.)

Here we have “Dii Dii”, which I assume that A) is probably supposed to be “Dee Dee”, and therefore B) we’ve found Dexter’s mirrors team.

May the “Force” be with you! Ehehehe.

I actually saw this team during prelims too! But I didn’t take a shot then. Anyways, here’s Twin #1 and Twin #2.

Our buddy “Onion Soup” made it to A-rank finals, it seems!

Speaking of liquids, the top teams are named “Ponzu” and “Balsamic Vinegar” respectively. They really did happen to line up like that, amusingly.

“Company Commander”, reporting for duty.

Team name “Dameda” (”Hopeless”), with the Magia Report Troublemaking Squad.

And the worst of them all, “ElMadoko!” (They even remembered how Spanish gender works, good for them!)

“Raika”, the original “Rabi”/”Lavi” debate.

And last but not least,

GOJIRA!!!

#look ranked is bullshite but at least we're all in agreement about this fact #i made a rank so i'll be good on medals but i'll probably only get A1 this time. #if you get the chemical farmer joke please explain it to me #wrong month for a star wars joke but it was either that or a physics joke #also if you got the raika one i feel for you and also myself #magia record #mirrors ranking #mirrors ranking round 15

I'm sorry I'm not a good writer at all, but a pilot to the illagers in my world and this whole story

World lore

2000 years after the first creatures came to life in this world, made by The God (equal to the server moderator, who can delete or change the worl anytime he wants to) and protected by The Guardians (not the literal ocean monsters, but humanoid entities like Entity 303 or Null, their job is looking over and fixing a certain part of the world, like nature, animals, mobs, things like that, so The God can do other, more important things). Villagers were created to help the world in some way, to make it full of life, to make villages, to create, to love, to bring some color into this lifeless world that only had monsters and animals, the really primitive mobs living in it. Maybe a 100 years later, due to something being put into the water, the pregnant villagers gave birth to strange, grey-skinned villagers. At first they didn't think much, but as all babies in most villages were born grey, they knew something was off. The witches on the other hand didn't know a cure, nor what happened, so the babies, that they called ill villagers because of their difference in behavior. These ill villagers were more curious, violent and looked pale and that was considered a sign of illness for the villagers. Later on, these ill villagers came together, after being chased out of the villages for murder and vandalism, and they thought about making and empire of their own.

On that day, the first, and most noble evoker and vindicator families were created:

Evokers:

Nova (the current evoker and all illager's captain)

Irie, Vito (most noble evoker families also I'll probably put more family names here in the future)

Vindicators:

Esmeralda (emerald medal, highest rank, most respected, high standards and expectations, this is also the family where most people, especially women are tend to be suicidal due to not being good enough and lack of respect for them)

Lazulia (lapis lazuli medal, still high rank, a bit friendlier, better conditions)

Veresh (redstone medal, they're not that respected and treated as less noble that Esm. and Laz., and because of wanting to prove that they're also a powerful vindicator family, the expectations are very high and there are no women in these families, unlike in Esm. or Laz.)

Arkan (the lowest of them all, really hated and not respected, seen as the weakest, mostly made up of old men and women because of the lack of reproduction)

These families live in separate mansions, one evoker family, who controls the mansion's everyday life with one vindicator family, who's duty is training vindicators and repairing the mansion, any hard physical jobs that need to be done basically, and the others (evokers from other families, fighter and guard vindicators (like the ones roaming the mansion halls in Minecraft) and vindicator maids, who are untrained, mostly young women)

There are some villagers in the mansion too, spies and slaves, spies are there for a short period of time until they get a village to live in and get information of it that the spy tells to the illagers during raids or every month, when illagers go to the villages to take food and other items from them in exchange for peace. Slaves on the other hand do farming and mining, things like that. But since they have braindead vindicators, these villager slaves aren't necessary and only kept there to make villagers fear them and obey them more.

I think that's all, it anyone read this, thank you so much!!!!! I'm really a beginner when it comes to writing and just using English, so if I made any mistakes I'm really sorry.

And before you call me sexist, illagers in my world are like that, they're also homophobic and racist, don't cancel me for that. They seemed like that to me and since these are mostly old, grumpy people they're gonna be like that to me.

Games I Played in November

I never really plan these out but I always like talking about what I've been playing.

So I already talked about Trackmania, but I really hope to stay top 100 in my state for this season. I've got 18/25 author medals and that's better than I've ever done, but there's still time to maybe get a couple more. (I'm super close on some of them.)

Marvel Snap's been fun too, I've been playing a bit more casually. Like not buying anything with actual money, skipping dailys if I don't feel like playing, stuff like that. And I don't care what anyone says Martyr's so fucking fun and cool. I haven't hit infinite yet, been stuck in high rank 80s playing all sort of different decks. But that's okay it's been fun and that's the whole point of gaming.

As far as new games I finally bought Arkham Knight. That was amazing to play at my own pace instead of having to wait to play it whenever I visited my uncle's house as a teen. I got through basically everything, I'm tracking down the last few Riddler trophies on my own. I probably won't bother with NG+ but there are a lot of post-game stories I want to play which I never got to. I've also been watching a bunch of Arkham series lore vids on YT and that's really put me back in the headspace of playing the Arkham series like I did originally.

Handshakes was a fun free indie speed-game. I got top 100 on the steam leaderboards and that was fun.

Chillquarium is great, the demo was fun and cute but somewhere along the way it turned into a card pack opening simulator but in the best possible way. Like if you've ever wanted to open 1000 pokémon booster packs for no reason other to hunt for a super rare or something that's a super fun game to emulate that feeling.

And also Colostle. Obviously I've been posting my journals for that game on here for two years now so y'all know I love it! But it's been great playing it more frequently again I've got basically two chapters finished in one month, which I haven't done in a while. Really trying to get to the Tundrooms and Kyodaina content. The Colostle Patreon's already getting even more content in the Dungeons and maybe more (I've been off it since I'm not utilizing the new content immediately and I'm gonna buy the books when they come out anyways) and I feel like for as much I like the game I haven't experienced all it has too offer which is weird for me as someone who normally goes for completion, or achievement hunting, etc.

Daryl Takes Games on YouTube made a video about tackling his backlog and at one point he talks about the importance of writing about games as you finish them to preserve them as a memory for later and that hits home with what I'm doing here with these monthly summaries. That video was beautiful to me as a longtime gamer. I'm gonna take this time to also add games I plan to play in the future. Even if I don't get to them next month, I want to think about games and see how that changes between months.

So yeah, very recent addition to the backlog is Signalis. I've been seeing amazing fanart and it even featured in that video, so once that next goes on sale I'm gonna pick it up.

Rivals 2 looks amazing and I've backed the kickstarter so I hope I get to experience that in some manner once it comes out. Fighting games have dwindled from genres I play since I don't have as active of gamer friends and grinding with someone is the best part, but maybe with rollback and the good online it promises I'll still enjoy that on my own or maybe even find some new gamers to play with.

That video mentioned Sayonara Wild Hearts with a comment that seemed like the ultimate praise: "Every part was my favorite part." Since it's only an hour long I'm just gonna watch a playthrough, but that's totally valid. My fondest memories with Undertale was watching Dodger Leigh (PressHeartToContinue)'s full playthrough of that game, way more than my own playthrough. Even though the grind of beating Sans myself was worth it. Perhaps after watching Sayonara Wild Hearts I'll pick it up but I'm not gonna pressure myself to do that if I don't want to.

Some other games I tried recently but refunded include Dave the Diver (it looks good and was fun but ultimately didn't seem worth it to play the whole thing), Oxenfree 2 (I played the first and love it but this one just didn't hook me and there's no shame in giving a game), Shadows of Doubt (a couple months ago I tried it since it looked like I'd enjoy it after watch GMTK's vid on detective games but ultimately it was too involved and seemed like a chore to play, when I was looking for something else, the figure it out, red string on a cork board yes, the rest of the gameplay no not really), and Word Factori (I think I was just looking for a fun optimization game like Opus Magnum but Word Factori just fell short). In future ones of these I'll make sure to mentioned games I tried as well as played because those can be important when looking back on as well.

And finally, holy crap this post is long, good thing this blog is for me and I'm not trying to impress anyone with my thoughts on these games.
