UHH Postmortem and Updates

Well UHH is officially over. I can't say I'm disappointed in my performance this year. A strong performance in the Group Stage (could probably do more, but I aim to survive more than do all my achievements) was followed up with 2 wins in the knockouts. Those first two wins went easier than I expected due to circumstances for my opponents (but I'm not complaining).

Making it to Top 64 was great and I felt when I lost was very appropriate. My opponent in the Round of 64 was much better than I could handle for sure. The Division completely glitching on me didn't help my motivation either, but that's on me more than anything.

My only disappointment for this year was the final week of JFF. I usually have maintained that by the time I'm out of the main competition, I don't care about JFF. After maintaining the motivation for so long, being able to relax (especially as I was out of GTASC as well) felt nice. I was able to play whatever I wanted. It changed though for the final week.

I had joked about how fun it would be to face off with a friend. It just so happened that I got paired with angelsk. We had been joking the whole competition about how our very different gaming styles would have made for a really interesting setup. And it was. Unfortunately, it only WAS fun. It feels like it comes up every competition, but there was a glitch in the system. The round didn't continue to count achievements on Saturday, so I found myself not interested in competing further. I know Jo and I would have observed who "won" based off weekend happenings, but at that point it just seemed pointless. 11-8 loss to Jo. Would be nice to face off again sometime with a full period, but so be it.

Another UHH in the books.

In terms of other stuff, just some updates:

Walkthroughs

2 published this month - StickType and Sky Force Reloaded
Next up - Battle Knights and oOo Ascension

After these I will finally get Stories of Bethem done. I've been trying to think of the best way to do Bethem honestly. Unfortunately, between lost VOD's and being lost in a sense of what to do, I really fell off the wagon on this one. But I've been giving it thought and know how I want to do it now. I believe this will turn out well and want to thank people who've been patient with this one. Still a ways to go, but I at least know what I'm doing.

Streak

Besides it continuing. There isn't much to say. Passing 1500 days was nice. I truly believe I will end it someday, but I want it to be my on my terms.

Goals

I'm behind. Plain and simple. Number of achievements total by year's end, 1M Gamerscore, Completion Percentage. They're all going slower than planned. I gave myself a mini goal this month of completing more games than I started. Looks like I'll accomplish it, but I'm still behind. I'll need to set some new lofty goals for next year though. This year has been good so far:

Achievements - 3,656
Gamerscore - 142,304
Ratio - 1.55
TrueAchievement Score - 220,633
Completed Games 93

A new best year for me. I'm hoping to continue this progression.

Streaming

I don't post much here about it, but I have been streaming weekly. Saturday and Sunday are my normal focus, but I branch out when I have time during the week. I'd love to have more people stop by though, but don't feel obligated to do so. It's usually ID@Xbox games, but I'm open to suggestions. I stream through Mixer at https://mixer.com/radicalsniper99

As has become a new norm for me, closing with a song. This song isn't me asking for help with something so don't worry. I realize the message of it is bleak, but it is really an amazing song and I just like the idea of sharing new stuff I'm listening to with others.
