Credit where credit’s due, but it seems like great pains have been taken to hide the fact that this was a tournament of 4 players.

Looks like she also had a 1st place finish in this tournament, which had over triple the entrants (14), and she did it while 7 months pregnant—that’s much more impressive, imo.

sausager,

As someone who is sitting next to his newborn who he just brought home yesterday - the fact she did literally anything besides sleep is much more impressive

Edit: grammar. I’m so tired

Huge congrats! Hang in there - everything gets easier soon.

RustySharp,

soon

Could you please be more specific? It’s been 13 years. Maybe in another year?

Yes. Another year. Or another life. I keep mixing up these terms.

Next week for sure.

RightHandOfIkaros,

Classic Dexerto, making a headline that gives a wildly inaccurate impression of reality.

The headline made it seem like she won a tournament on the likes of EVO, not some small local tournament that could have just been among family members. Its cool she did this, but the author is REALLY trying hard to live up to their name (Virgina Glaze ).

Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines - probably the most cliche answer possible, but Troika really did build a game that took you to the world of vampires in LA in the early 2000s.

Arcanum - a fantasy world undergoing industrialization with technology being in direct conflict with magic.

UnderRail - A society stuck underground connected by tunnels between towns/cities and nodes. The writing (quests/characters) is not that great, but the world-building is top notch.

She’s just enjoying the last bit of joy before that child sucks all it out of her life.

Kids are annoying and trying at times, but until you have your own kid it’s impossible to understand how rewarding they can be.

FlashMobOfOne,
@FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world avatar

That’s not true.

I grew up in a huge family and did a ton of parenting without my consent. I know exactly what it’s like.

Being forced to parent siblings and parenting your own child are very different things. Even if you don’t choose to have a child, they are your own flesh and blood and that makes a big difference.

homoludens,

AFAIK it’s not so much “flesh and blood”, but more about accepting the responsibility of being a parent.

unless you’re in the 10% of parents who regret having children.

Gothic one and two are really good. In the first game you are dropped into a prison colony and very soon a guard will try to extract protection money from you. In any other game the guard would just kill you, instead you will meet another guy asking you for help. He then lures you to a secluded space, reveals that he was sent by the corrupt guard, and beats you unconscious to steal your money.

Another game I will never stop recommending, because of its worldbuilding, is the excellent Enderal: Forgotten Stories. I really like how it depicts the theocratic society of the continent the story plays out in. The story about what initially seems like a standard fantasy thieves guild but is actually a cult that shuns emotion and try to transcend the physical body, is also really good and ties in with the overarching plot of the game.

Florida…uh…Florida’s not doing so well

damnedfurry,

It was a 4-person tournament, what kind of prize pool do you think that’s going to have? lol

GargleBlaster,

And that’s with a $50 entering fee

Rooster326,

So whoever put on the contest made $50 * 4 = 200 - 28 $172‽

That’s kind of the total opposite of the typical “Florida man” scenario.

ParadoxSeahorse,

Because Florida Man is such a shambles Florida Woman must shine extra brightly

Of it was League of legends that baby would be done.

I feel like there is. “Your mama” joke in there somewhere

Well done!

When the baby is that small, it’s the perfect time to do stuff like this. You have to be “on call” if they need you, but they spend 90% of the time sleeping. So just hold them or have them strapped to you and do your thing!

I got caught up on so many shows during the first few days when my daughter was still nocturnal, and I know my wife beat a few games she had on the back burner.

The_Picard_Maneuver,
@The_Picard_Maneuver@piefed.world avatar

Same. I played FPS games and caught up on my streaming backlog while my first slept on me. I didn't imagine that I'd be able to do stuff like that.

Idreamofcheesy,

I finished Netflix during night feeds for the first 6 months of my son’s life.

TwentySeven,

You finished Netflix? Impressive.
