Holiday

This Christmas holidays, so far I have done a significant amount of fuck-all. This is rather freeing considering I usually have a lot to do but it also makes me feel a bit weird. I've been trying to avoid the weirdness feeling by focusing on doing stuff like working through my Japanese textbook and going for walks with my little brother.

I've also been playing a fair bit of Marvel Rivals. Man, that shit is addictive. I used to play a LOT of Overwatch and it hits the same but even better because there's no lootbox system. I mostly play Jeff, Mantis and huge amounts of Scarlet Witch, who I like to think I'm quite good at. I like that she applies constant, unrelenting pressure on the other team - there are very few chances for flashy huge damage outputs, but she is a constant threat because she is quite literally always capable of outputting damage. It puts a strain on the other team's healers and can be very punishing if the other team overextends. On the other hand, it's very hard to manage long-range opponents like Hawkeye and she's very squishy. I would rather not think about the number of times I've been oneshotted by a sniper when I was just walking around minding my business.

My sister is coming tomorrow which I'm very excited about. Last time I saw her was at the airport when we were both pooped and I'm looking forward to reminiscing about our Japan trip when she arrives.
