The goat's outta the military, bois!

I've been waiting for this moment for the last 255 days, and today it's finally official! My service in the Finnish Defence Forces has ended and I'm back!

My time in the military has been great, I've had some bad moments, some good moments, lots of stress and pain but lots of fun and great memories at the same time. And I am super happy to be back home!

Now it's time to begin a new chapter in my life, called adulthood. (yikes :D) And I also gotta get back into FFR, have to claim my top 100 spot back somehow ;)

Another year, another tourney! I am still stuck in military, so let's see how long can I survive with limited time to play :D Super excited to play in D7 for the first time, hopefully I won't be absolutely demolished..

This blog will be updated each round with my PB and thoughts about the file, same as always!

ROUND 1
SONG: The End of Dreams (Cut Ver.)
SCORE: AAA

What a good file to start this journey! I wasn't expecting a file over 3 minutes for round one, but it happened :D I got the AAA in 4 tries, some of the bursts were tricky but I managed to pull this off wihtout much hassle. I know that this was just the beginning, and I'm looking forward to seeing what wonderful (and scary) things are coming our way in D7!

ROUND 2
SONG: Angel's Salad
SCORE: 1-0-1-2 | 3.8 RG

Greetings from military! Had no break this week, so had to bring my laptop with me to play this round :D Anyway, this one was a leap. Intro was mindblockable, many choke points and my consistency overall was pretty bad. But hey, we are still alive! The cutoff is scaringly tight though, fingers crossed that it doesn't get any tighter next round!

ROUND 3
SONG:A Battle I Absolutely Can't Lose ~ Kill the Nyanko
SCORE: 7-0-1-2 | 9.8 RG

A battle I absolutely can't lose? Well, this round didn't live up to its name for me, because I lost the battle! I had too little time to play during the weekend, and the SDG was a very last-minute score. Not a bad file, lots of tricky jack patterns, and a fun song! It's a shame I dropped out this early, but D7 has so many talented players, and that shows in the cutoffs :D Anyway, my journey is over now, gonna root Fisu, my fellow Finnish keysmasher for the win!

FINAL PLACEMENT: 27th

So, 2022 is now over. I can't believe how fast time goes by. Anyways, it's been a great year for me in FFR! I hit D7 twice, somehow got 3rd in OT15, met many new awesome people during that time, and had a blast playing the game overall! Awesome stuff.

Unfortunately all that has to come to a pause for this year, since I'll be beginning my military service tomorrow (as of writing this note) and that's gonna keep me occupied for at least half a year. I'll definitely miss a lot of fun stuff, but I won't be going radio silent. So if ya wanna message me, I'll be able to respond! :D If I get lucky, I'll be home for OT16 and be rusty as heck trying to compete with the rest of D7!

I also wanna give special thanks to Charissa, Lights, Hateandhatred, SK8R43 and all the folks in the Discord server. You are all amazing people and make a great community!

So, with all that, I wanna wish everyone a good 2023! I hope you all achieve your fiffer goals, life goals, whatever goals! :D
