RLCS

 Or, Rocket League Championship Serires. You know, a bunch of really talented teenagers playing car soccer for people to watch.

It's so fun for me to watch. Especially when the team I'm rooting for is often a top contender. This is the feeling "normal" people must have when they watch whichever sport they like every week.

The new season began a few weeks ago after 3 months of break, and I didn't realize how much I missed it. The rivalries, the progress toward the final tournament at the end of the season, the stress of watching your team go to overtime in game 7 against their toughest opponent in the final.

It's a good feeling.

Metroid Dread

Metroid Dread came out last Friday. I was so excited for it, like I haven't been for a new game in many years. And it totally paid off. I don't play that many single player games nowadays, and when I do, I either don't finish them, or it takes me ages to do so.

I finished Dread in two sittings. Sure, it's not the longest game, it took me 8 hours to beat it, but I had so much fun every minute of it. It felt good to feel that way for a video game. It took me back to my teen years and most of my 20s.

It took a third session to collect 100% of the items (didn't look at guides at all, but it is on the easier side to collect all the stuff, not as hard as games back in the 90s, 2000s).

And now, I'm going to do a second playthrough in hard.

I suck at origami

 Why I even tried is beyond me.

I was watching a video of an origami pumpkin with Leonardo, cause he's decorating the house with halloween stuff. It seemed simple enough....

...it wasn't

I struggled to make this shitty ass pumpkin. The folds, the paper just didn't want to fold like I wanted it to. It didn't help that the paper was thin. Leonardo did the green part out of his imagination, which is why it looks so big.

A white grim reaper

That one was was easier, but it would've looked better in black.

Needless to say, I'm not good at origami.
