Use duckduckgo!

The other day, I was peeking over at my dad's phone when I noticed that when he searched something on safari, he didn't get any "AI overview" like what has become commonplace on google. I noticed he was using Duckduckgo, and I asked him about it. He told me it felt nicer to use so he has been using it. Here are some of the pros and cons for me as I've been using it on my phone and laptop for the past 2 weeks. 

The first main features that I think will make most people very excited is the ability to turn off AI search overview AND filter AI images. Duckduckgo allows you to set how often you want AI overview to pop up. That's the best part, that you get the choice. You're able to completely turn it off or leave it on demand, or just show up naturally. The next part, is the ability to filter AI images. As far as I'm concerned, this feature relies on users reporting images as AI, which is a good reason why I'm writing this blog. It would be great if people read this blog, became users of Duckduckgo, and passively reported images that are AI during their time using it. 

Also, duckduckgo pushes significantly less reddit that google. Something I've noticed after using duckduckgo is just how much google pushes reddit. The first or second result on google is almost always something on reddit. Reddit is no longer the "front page of the internet." It's one of the most polarized platforms of all time, with plenty misinformation, bitter people and mods with superiority complexes on it, and a lot of bots. Not to mention, a lot of AI is trained on reddit (reddit sold tons of user content to OpenAI to train with). When searching something on duckduckgo I usually get an article that would've been the 4th or 5th result on google search. It feels like how old google was, when it worked. 

Duckduckgo also prides themself on privacy. In all honestly, I don't completely trust that any search browser doesn't have some sort of trackers in it. It's just how search engines and SEO works. Despite this, Duckduckgo still feels miles ahead of Google and Bing. The best bet is to use uBlock origin alongside duckduckgo for maximum security. You also get customization options too.  

 

The primary con is people use duckduckgo less. Because of this, search results might not be as polished as google. Google is simply the default for a lot of people now. So google simply has more traffic and can fine tune their searches exceptionally. 

Switching to duckduckgo is really easy too. For my phone, all I needed to do was go to safari settings and switch my primary search engine to duckduckgo. On my laptop, it's even easier. I use firefox, and the option to switch is right there on the search bar. If you're reading this, give duckduckgo a shot for a day or two! You likely wouldn't need to download anything, because most browsers have a setting you can switch to it instantly. 

Highschool was the worse

I would do a lot of things to be able to go to high school 10 years earlier. 

There are a lot of things I would sacrifice to be able to go to high school without the existence of instagram, tiktok, mobile smartphones. Having now taken the full step to not just delete the instagram app, which I did 4 months ago, but to also deactivate both my accounts, let me write about just how shit highschool was; and how long I have been lying to myself. 

I started my website and subsequently my blog in my senior year of high school. In my earliest blog posts, you can see the remnants of phony optimism in the words I typed. I say 'phony', because I still consider myself pretty optimistic, but in those posts I can clearly see me lying to myself in order to feel a little less of a loser. 

Yeah, high school was the worse. I was invisible. I wasn't even a background character. I was non-existent. To other people, I may have been just okay to be around in school, wanting to do anything outside of school with me was not even a consideration. And no matter what I did to at least become background character B, it just was never really my time to shine. High school is always portrayed as the best time of your life. Even before I was in high school, I already knew it was all bullshit, there was no high school musical, and I was fine with not having a flashy, eventful life. But what really hurt, was not having any of the mundane. There were no train rides chatting with a friend home. There were no detours to stop by a place instead of going straight home. There were no spontaneous hangouts, stopping by a friends house, or late night chats. No long text message conversations right after something happened, and no phone calls. At least for me. Normal highschool activities, I feel like I completely missed out on. 

I lied, actually, in my first year, there was train rides, detours, hangouts, and chats. For about 6 months in freshman year. I still had friends from people who went to the same middle school as me. And then I didn't. Calling it a falling out is too dramatic, but calling it drifting away is too understated. It wasn't a falling out because there wasn't some big fight that split everyone, and it wasn't a drift away because the group continued to be relatively close. It was just me. I don't know what started it, but one day you aren't invited to a hangout. Then, the group chats you're in go silent. Then, when you ask what they're doing they go silent. "The best years of my life" are words I thought of when I tried to invite one of those 'friends' to a christmas hangout, and he just starts walking away faster and faster. I never really celebrated my birthday. I hated that day. Opening my phone and seeing no notifications. In modern teenage culture, on someones birthday, people would post happy birthday wishes on their instagram stories, and tag the person. That person would then repost it. It was always a force of flaunting to me. "Look at how many friends I have, who want to wish me happy birthday!" 

I can't even blame them for not wanting to be friends with me anymore. I was awful to be around. Always angry, always negative, always insecure, and argued with everyone over stupid shit. I was not interesting in the slightest, I had zero hobbies or interests outside of studying and playing video games, and being on discord. I probably deserved it. 

To be split from that group was one thing, but I think I rather have just spent my entirety of high school alone than to know that for the next 3 years, they were laughing at me. Because of how insecure I felt about this, I tried to compensate in other ways to lie to myself that, I was doing ok. In the rare times I hung out, it was mainly to convince myself that "see! I'm doing normal high school things too! Like hanging out with friends!" Needless to say, I didn't enjoy those times. I did not like the people I was hanging out with. I tried clubs. Forced myself to stay in the godforsaken high school building for another 2 hours just to try to see if I would fit in. It was even worse because I knew it was bad, but I kept telling myself that it wasn't. I found myself within the fence of many groups. Not really particularly part of any of them, but just there so I could be less lonely during lunchtime. I didn't have that much fun because I had 0 connection with any of these people, but I pretended and adjusted to every single conversation, every single person, just to feel like absolute shit at the end of it because they would never reciprocate the effort I put in. Any efforts into hanging out was just "I'm busy." I never talked to them outside of the 45 minutes of a lunch period. Yeah, I ate lunch alone for most of high school. Actually, I didn't even eat lunch for the first half. I was far too insecure to take off my mask in freshman and sophomore year. That's how I dropped to 90 pounds. There was a retarded social media thing called "mask fishing" where people would say you looked way better with the mask on and ugly as fuck with it off. Insecure me, who was already insecure with my face since elementary school, started to get more and more pimples, and there was just nothing I could do about it. 

I'm still in a 6 year battle between me and my skin. I have some of the most painful and bad hormonal acne, face, chest and back acne, that I can't do anything about. I've been using tretinoin for my face and body for 2-3 years now, where it did help clear up the worse of my face, but my body is still left awful. Some of my old shirts have blood stains on the back because of my acne. The derm said it typically lasts up until 19-22. 

High school was the worst. I hate smartphones. Every interaction was spent between the phone. Sometimes they'd get distracted as we talked and start scrolling. Get a notification and start texting. Instagram and tiktok made it hell. It was always about who's attractive, who's smart, this and that. I never had tiktok, and not having it felt like being 10 miles behind in a marathon I didn't want to run in. It interfered with everything. It changed everything. People didn't even have hobbies anymore. All they wanted to do was scroll.

Interestingly, the year after I graduated they banned smartphones in schools in my state. I was in support of it, but everyone else I knew complained. They need it. The ban is a good thing 

I wish I could restart highschool. Click play and restart as many times as I want to. In particular, choose a time, any time before smartphones. It ruined me. It changed everything. It changed how people talked, how people treated each others, how people viewed things. I wasted my high school years, having nothing and in denial about everything. I was never happy and hate myself so much. So many actions I wish I never did, so many words I wish I never/should've said. Hearing how my millennial cousins describe their time in school made me so envious. Is the grass really always greener on the other side if the grass on my side is dead and withered by famine, and the other side so luscious and gorgeous? 

In Taiwan

I'm in taiwan now, I'm gonna be here for around a month. A combination of study and here for my mom to take care of family things. I was gonna write this blog about how I am glad to be away from people and making my own server (very exciting!), but I think it's ok for me to air out just how absolutely stupid everyone, excluding my mother, is in my family on my mother's side. 

I like staying anonymous online, and while I would've been worried about the possibility of my family finding this blog, the chances of such are slim to none, and they don't understand english anyways. In my immediate family on my mother's side, my uncles and cousins are troubled and all have criminal records. In short this is because of the way they were raised. They were very spoiled and bailed out always by my grandfather, who paid to get them out of debt among other things. One of my uncles, who I actually know and love despite him being not very intelligent, died very recently. His death was very abrupt and very likely shaken his two sons, my cousins. This came very quickly after the death of my grandfather, who died also recently. 

But a really dangerous thing is that just two weeks ago, the other uncle (my mom's other brother) got out of jail. He went to jail for something really pathetic. Robbing a 7-11. My mom said in her own words, "Robbing for pennies! 7-11 at midnight doesn't even have any money!" After getting out of jail, he has to come back to the house my cousins live in, because there's no one else to take him in. I don't really know this uncle at all. I can't remember his face. I met him yesterday, I don't know him. Frankly, I don't trust him. We bought food from the night market, and my mom brought us to drop it off. When he looked at me and my sister, I think he was shaken up because of how much we had grown. He probably met us when we were babies. But then, my mom told us to leave and go back to our home (we live seperately in another home nearby.) I'd assume it's because they had some serious business to talk about. And today that was confirmed when my mom told me that he was basically saying useless stuff like "I am so poor" and "When I die no one will care about me" my mom straight up told him "Yes, no one will care about you, you should be grateful for having a home to come back to, and you're poor because you never worked a day in your life." This is true by the way, apparently he was a handsome young man and was able to trick a lot of girls into giving him money. Jerk. 

But yeah, to me the most frustrating part is that it seems like this uncle and even my cousins who now have jobs (both were unemployed with on and off jobs before this) don't understand the value of money and how money works. What do I mean by this? Well all of them basically have one of the biggest burdens alleviated from them, which is having a home to live in. They inherited the family home from my grandfather, so they don't need to pay rent or mortgage at all! But despite this, despite the fact they probably have a significantly higher take home pay than most other people in Taiwan, they spend so much money on stupid things, gamble it away, and just aren't aware of the real world. And they keep asking my mom for money too. To give my cousins credit and understanding, they had very rough upbringings. They did not have a mother, because she ran away, and their father (my uncle) was not a good father figure. My mom raised them herself. The oldest one is the one who has a bad criminal record, while the younger one doesn't have a record but has psychological problems. Even though we are cut from the same cloth, I've always been very wary about money: I hate spending money at all, and I always save. I barely touch my savings at all, I'm a very boring person. It makes me mad to no avail, I wish I could scream sense into them, but my mom has been doing so for the last 30 years, and it only took "The tree being cut from under them" for them to understand. She's a tough person, and it makes a lot of sense why she cares so much about me and my sisters education. Because of how none of her nephews and brothers finished high school let alone consider college. 

This is it for this blog, I just wanted to get this off my chest. Incoming blog about me creating my server and also my personal feelings about being in taiwan and stuff in general.  

First year of college

I finished my freshman year of college 2 weeks ago, ending it the way I started it. Getting sick and having a 101 F fever. That marked the 5th time I've gotten sick in around 8 months of college. Last week, my grades came out. I'm happy to say my effort paid off and my grades are good right now. 

In this blog from 4 months ago, I wrote about not fitting in and not having energy for anything. Much of that sentiment stayed the same. I remember hearing "try to stay in your dorm as little as you can" from some silly instagram post before my first semester, so for my first semester I forced myself to be in the library and events I really just didn't want to go to or do. On my second semester, I stayed in my dorm a lot more, which I think was better for me. Because I got to relax and be more comfortable. I really only spent energy on stuff I cared about or wanted to do, like a robotics club and also the smash club that hosts tournaments (though that was way later down the line). 

I think I gave up on trying so hard and was ok being in solitude. I deleted all my socials a quarter way into the semester. I was tired of a lot of things and one of those was people posting their fake lives with their fake friends and fake groups with fake personalities. My resentment was growing, so I just deleted it to get away from it. In the months following, I was definitely way more calm. It didn't solve all my problems but it was a good change. 

I think I was pretty "locked in" in certain ways. I was pretty consistent with piano practice, and someone I know helped me with a gym routine. I began going to the gym 3 times a week to take care of my physical health. Every one yells at me to gain weight (including my gymrat friends), gain muscle, but honestly, I don't give a crap about that. It actually kind of annoys me. I'm at a healthy weight, even if it's at the lower side. It just annoys me everyone has a picture of what a man should look like, especially with the 2020s explosions in gym content. Going to the gym is great, but not every guy wants to pursue bodybuilding. Focusing on being healthy, getting stronger, and being more athletic is my goal. And mogging xd

Though something I have to complain about is when I need to talk to people at the gym. I always went to the gym alone, and when it was packed I HATED it because I would need to talk to people and ask to "work in" with them, or share equipment. I really did not want to talk to anyone, I just wanted to blast music at max volume and do what I want and leave. Our college gym is pretty small too so this happened often. 

I was being more of a delinquent, skipping a LOT of class (I'm a smart skipper though, I only skip when I know it won't affect me), and someone I met was honestly a stoner and got me to try stuff. It's ok because he respected my boundaries and never pushed me to try anything. I tried smoking weed for the first couple times. I tried it, but I couldn't get high. It was only until I tried edibles I got it, but I didn't have a good trip at all because I was sick during it. I also tried nicotine, hated it, and will probably never do it again. I still like drinking alc over anything else, but I reserve drinking for special occasions. Some of the people I met, goodness they were gone. Hitting the vape like every 20 seconds, telling me they get withdrawal symptoms. 

With the exception of these stoner friends who I didn't hang out with all that much, I really hated social interaction at all. Even when someone I loosely knew said Hi and had some small talk, I wanted to leave within 10 seconds. I couldn't help but hate how fake it all was, and I struggled to even remember peoples names. My social anxiety got to an all time high because sometimes I would see someone I talked to in class walking around and I had no idea if I should say hi or not so I either pretended to not see them or just looked down so I literally did not see them. 

I hate hate hate being perceived. Especially when I'm walking around trying to get to class and someone, or a group of someones, pauses to look me up and down and just think unwarranted thoughts about me. I'm not that important, and psychology says my mind is just extending that millisecond glance into multiple seconds. I don't care though. Stop looking at me. Stop thinking about me. I do not want your thoughts about me. Why do you care? Am I strange enough to look at? Keep talking with your friends.

A new pastime for me now is to watch Vtubers. Streamers always felt boring to me, I don't understand people who watch Kai Cenat or HasanAbi for hours on end. But a few too many youtube compilations and now I put on a fuwamoco stream in the background while I do something. I was always dissuaded from Vtubers because there's this guy I knew from middle school who was super cringe about them. Posted like NSFW fanart on his instagram close friends story. This is the part where I'd say they aren't like that. But reading through youtube comment sections, lurking in some reddit posts, yeah these guys are fucking weirdos lmao. Unfortunately, I'm a rare fan who knows they all play a character, and I'm not a retard who believes that the streamer loves me. There's actually a term for that kind of vtuber fan I learned, it's called "unicorn." 

For me, watching hololive is very comforting. It melts away a lot of my stress even if it's just for a little bit. I like watching it like it's a reality TV show, minus the drama and cancer. Some people care so much about their personal lives. I couldn't care less, just seeing a bunch of people play video games and do stupid stuff together is enough. It makes me happy. I'm glad I stopped caring about being a loser. 

Once again, in previously mentioned blog from 4 months ago I said I didn't hate my roommates. And that's the truth, but it also does take another 4 months for you to get prettyy fed up with some of the things your roommates do. For one, I'm in a triple room, and my room is pretty cramped. We have a small-ish room, then the bathroom with piss poor ventilation, so a lot of times they'd take a shower (or take a shit) and the steam from the shower would make the room super stuffy. So I would always be the one to open the window,  then close it, and monitor all that stuff. We only got our bathroom cleaned once a week which is pretty crazy in my opinion. If it were any other teenage boys, that shit would be a steamy hot pile of shit. 

And it's not just the shower too. One guy was super addicted to ramen noodles to the point he was making it 4 times a week, and he would use his rice cooker for it because he had no other way to boil water. And then the room would now be steamy and now have the smell of shin ramen, so again, I was the one who was opening the window, spraying the room with Febreeze. Additionally, while one of my roommates was pretty aware about smells, the other, just wasn't. I brought to the room a lot of those plug in Febreeze so the room would never stink, but this guy bro. He'd put his sweaty clothes into a bag that he put into his closet for it to ferment. We had to tell him so many times that he should NOT do that. (Also he'd come back from a day and without washing himself just hopped into bed? I mean it's not my bed, so whatever, but I don't think I saw him wash his sheets). The main saving grace is that all of us were chinks and chinks don't have the worst BO, though it can absolutely get really bad. 

That wraps it up for this blog entry at least. 
Bye 

I've been killing slimes for 300 years...

 

Link back to manga page: https://hym.neocities.org/more/manga# 

Synopsis 

You know, of the all the isekai anime/manga I've had the displeasure of watching, two of my favorites have slime in the title.

I've Been Killing Slimes for 300 Years and Maxed Out My Level! starts pretty typical. An overworked office lady in Japan, Azusa Aizawa, DIES and is reincarnated as an immortal witch. Hmmm... where have we heard this plot before? But all she wants to do is relax and live a cozy peaceful life without working. She has no problems doing this, facing no hardships in her life. Azusa kills 20 slimes everyday for 300 years until she discovers shes the max level, super overpowered, and one shots dragons. All the sudden, people start showing up to her doorstep after hearing how powerful she is. One is a dragon, another an elf, and then two children that claim they are her daughters who were born as slime spirits from all the slimes Azusa killed over the years. Her family keeps on growing.

Despite being a generic isekai, it's instantly is on my good side for being a yuri-bait and having the main character be a girl. It's the purest form of yuri-bait. The best blueprint for yuri bait. What do I mean by yuri bait? Well Azusa keeps growing her family, taking new girls under her wing like a mother. It's heavily implied that Laika, one of the first characters that shows up and joins Azusa's family is very in love with her. We don't get to see any developments in any romantic relationships very often, the author kind of just implies to us that "These girls live together and are practically married and everyone else in the house they live in are their children"

Likes and Dislikes

As I've already said, I love the comfyness of this. Everyone likes comfy, cozy stuff because of how unproblematic it is. It's a simple blueprint. Azusa goes on adventures after sticking to herself for 300 years. She's super overpowered, so typical isekai challenges like strong monsters and boss battles are not a problem. There's very little conflict in this world, the demons and humans are best friends to the point some of the strongest demons are best friends with Azusa and also part of her yuri family. The story focuses way more on the characters and their quirks and world-building. If I have to hand something to every isekai author out there, its that despite literally using the same blueprint of (You die in japan and get born in medieval magic RPG world) it's cool to see the kinds of twists they put on the worlds they create. The characters are somehow really memorable, because they all have their own stories and reasons for staying with Azusa. The fact that the main character is a women literally makes this series 10x better than if the main character was a guy. If the main character was a guy, it would be a standard harem and be really, really, really fucking boring. But since we get Azusa instead, we get to see how she treats everyone in her adoptive family well, whether it be making snacks for her daughters or solving her (wife) Laika's red dragon and blue dragon conflict. 

Like how it's hard to be problematic with cozy anime, it's also really hard to.. do anything. You can't create conflict without ruining the vibe. Most conflicts and plot points in the story only exist for new characters to be created, and then basically be taken under Azusa's adoptive wing. And only so many characters can be created without it getting boring. As of following the manga for 4 years, and watching both seasons of the anime. I haven't gotten bored, but I'm not exactly remembering every character by heart either. Usually, I only remember characters when they show back up in a chapter and I think to myself, "ohhh, I slightly remember that girl's existence!" Yet to most of the target audience, none of this is THAT much of a problem. But you want to know what's a problem?

Isekai mangaka have an obsession with food. It's honestly annoying. So many times, these mangaka spend entire chapters just letting their characters chase ingredients and cook food that subtlety resembles Japanese dishes, just so they can feed the isekai world people the food and then they have a food wars "ouhhh, ahhh, I've never tasted something this good before!" moment. If you have zero idea what I'm talking about, I'll lay out how this always plays out. 

    Main character: "This world's food is good, but I really want to eat rice!!!"

    Conveniently shaped rice paddy suddenly appears

    Main character: "Great, but now I want curry!"

    Conveniently created character that just so happens to be from a nation that closely resembles Japan provides MC with curry

    Main character: "Perfect, now I need katsu, but this world has no pigs!"

    Convenient pig replacement exists

    Main character: "Great! Who wants to try this katsu curry that doesn't exist in this world"

    Everyone: "ohmygodthistastesogoodyouresotalentedatcooking"

 I don't even hate these food scenes that much, but they just appear so often it's kind of annoying. The author has the opportunity to showcase some food that could only exist in a magical world like rainbow meat or something like that, but they always default to Japanese food that everyone around them glazes to no avail. 

Final rating: 8/10. It's hard to give a bad rating to something so cute.  

Manga review: Gal Oshi JK wa Gal ni Naritai

Link back to manga page: https://hym.neocities.org/more/manga#

Gal oshi JK is a very brief 1 volume yuri that I started following last year. It’s a very lighthearted manga that is mainly about a Gal/gyaru who is a “gal otaku.” Meaning she really loves gals and gyarus, to the point she’s an otaku ABOUT gals. (Mangas really like to stretch the definition of gyaru, because I personally would barely classify Yuuhi as a gal, but that’s for another time) Mimiru (main character) goes through a high school debut, studying up on fashion and makeup to look like a gyaru in high school. In high school, she makes friends with other gyarus, joining a friend group of gyarus. She meets Yuuhi, who’s a tall “cool” type who doesn’t show much emotion, but she’s always thinking “Mimiru’s so cute” in her head. They basically love each other.

The art is beautiful, and I’m a sucker for any kind of school slice of life yuri. But the pacing is very slow, and the ending is incredibly boring. Spoilers here, but we didn’t get a kiss, or anything official as a matter of fact. The way it was paced, I’d assume the author wanted to write another 3 volumes, but it randomly ends at 1. The main assumption for why it ended so quickly is that the author probably got bored. It was a web comic, so it likely didn’t get axed in the traditional way, but just didn’t get enough attention that the author wanted. A mangadex commenter put it best: 

Final rating: 6/10

Still cute, lighthearted, amazing art, if it didn’t have those it would be a 4/10. The main issues in my opinion is the lack of gyaru/gal knowledge and of course the ending. 

My first Smash tourney

Oh my god! Suddenly nearly another month has passed before my last entry

Today I went to my first Smash tournament. I would barely count it as a real tournament though, because it was just my universities club setting up a tourney for Smash Melee and Smash Ultimate. Even though I knew it wasn't really a big deal, I was still pretty nervous because of the.. social interaction. I think it's time for me to admit to myself that I am very introverted. People get misconstrued that introverts are just people who hate talking to anyone and prefer being quiet 100% of the time. But that isn't the case. Actually introverts can love talking to people, having friends, and be in social events. For me, I always get nervous because I'm scared of being around people I don't know and being awkward. 

Background: I met some of the people earlier this week from another event I went to. It was for Smash Melee, I had to swallow my awkwardness and force myself to go because I really really wanted to play Melee with a gamecube controller on a CRT. I don't have a gamecube controller, adapter, or even Wii to play Melee on my own so this was the only opportunity I could get. It was so worth it because I had a bunch of fun AND I got the peak experience of the "gaming room" which is a room on campus the smash club uses in the basement of one of the main buildings. It looked like it was straight out of 00s (probably because it's a neglected room the university doesnt give a shit about). and Yes the people in the club did pass the smell check, which I am very glad about. I told them it was my first time playing Melee and I wanted to play jigglypuff because I like Hbox and I play jigglypuff in Ultimate. One of the guys was excited because "No one else wants to play puff even though she's so good and cool, so I'll teach you." 

Fast forward to today, I was pretty scared walking in but the people who I met called out to me instantly so I felt more comfortable after that. I kind of awkwardly sat behind the guys playing Ultimate, waiting for my set, until people started striking up conversations with me. Of course, like most clubs in college clubs are already friend groups where it's hard to interfere (looking at you asian culture clubs), but unlike gatekeepy, cliquey clubs I think the people here were very happy to see a new person show up and want to talk and play some games. Anyways, about my sets, in Ultimate unsurprisingly I went 0-2 round 1 0-2 losers, that is not surprising to me. I played Game and Watch round 1 and we went random in losers to troll. (all the really good players were going random because apparently they were partying too late and got no sleep and didn't want to play hard). But very surprisingly in melee, I actually went 1-2 round 1 and 0-2 losers. I won round 1 against another jigglypuff where I landed 2 rests in the first game. It was very hype, but then I lost the two other games (albeit pretty close, we got to last stock on both). In losers bracket I lost all momentum and steam and got rolled, but that's ok with me. I ended up playing some friendlies with some ppl after and watched the bracket end to see who would win. 

I think I was just so glad to finally be able to talk to other people who just liked the same stuff I did, and also to get to play against someone else, because whenever I play smash I only play against one guy. It was refreshing to meet “real nerds” (I say this in the nicest way possible) because nowadays we just be letting ANYONE say they are a nerd but when someone with actual nerdy interests outside of valorant show up it’s cringe and stuff. I’m gonna be entering another tournament on Weds, I’ll keep updated!
