two hours of """"flexing""""
So... somehow my GPU lets me stream but it's the same quality as it's been because I still can't upgrade. You can help me make my streams better by watching the ads if you tune in, subbing, and/or telling friends I exist! I'm still working on getting some cute new emojis and art since it's all really old, and if anyone wants to help, let me know. (As of now it's just taking so long because I have to draw my own assets in between streams but I'm working on it)
It's a long story but I'm really excited to be in the routine again. Check out my Twitch for Zarya gameplay by a lady who's been playing her since 2016. I want to do more than play OW but for now, I go on twice a day five days a week.
(And again here's the link to the Zarya discord and Tumblr community)
Until further notice, I privated all my YT videos. I'll be renaming it to match my new Twitch username (ssrosiebean).
I want to start over since Overwatch isn't a game anymore and it feels redundant to have that all up. I'll eventually look through my posts and possibly put playlists together, but I want to try to get back into making Zarya guides that are up to date, and get into coaching/reviewing games for others and just getting into that again because I need something to do with myself.
It's gonna be a bit tedious to do because I'm STILL trying to upgrade my PC and I will have to edit the videos on my laptop, but I want to give it a shot. I've been given advice on Reddit and I supposedly can still stream OW with my old ass GPU. I'm skeptical.
If it works, it won't be much because I still have all my old hardware and peripherals. But if it doesn't work I have two backup plans: Starting a fresh Nuzlocke and art/just chatting streams. I just miss streaming... and I'd love to tell the story of where I've been and what's been going on at some point but it's not that important.
ALSO, THE DISCORD LINK WAS BROKEN ALL THIS TIME I'M SO SORRY
Check out the Team Pink community on Discord - hang out with 5 other members and enjoy free voice and text chat.
I feel like an actual dumbass for that
I'm hoping to start up a stream today but I'm still figuring out settings and all. Also don't forget the new Zarya community that I'll be transitioning my activity to, so be sure to join it if you haven't yet!
Who is the best Overwatch character (and why it's Zarya)
Check out the Team Pink community on Discord - hang out with 3 other members and enjoy free voice and text chat.
My cozy zarya main server (all players are still welcome) is gonna be rebooted after 5 years. It's still coming together but it'll be a place to just find teammates (especially competent tank/support mains), rant about games, share advice, and maybe more as we rebuild. (we used to do challenges and have scheduled game nights but i'm starting slow because it's been a while)
It (and this blog) started as a place for lesbians in particular to dominate the space. Anyone is welcome, but I still want to keep the vibe I've always had of intending to cater to the awesome female players who just want to have fun and get better at their favorite game.
(Also if you missed it, we have a new tumblr community that seems to be working out pretty well)
How to 5-star Zarya's Hero Mastery Courses
Charge off of friendly bots and combine primary and secondary fire to get points for secondary accuracy and high energy kills (you need more than 60 energy to count as high energy). Use secondary fire, aim it at the bot, and then zap it as it lands to do more damage at once. Environmental kills only count toward secondary fire accuracy and you can kill bots faster with this method. (and i do it outside of hm too. it's the best way to use her weapon)
Killing bots with the explosives gets you credit for kills but not for high energy/secondary fire points. Don't grav the bots into the hole, kill them in the grav with your weapon. You don't need your grav at all for most of the runs but they show up in areas where you can charge off your bubbles and you can kill them faster with a grav and one right click.
Every second counts. Get to the end before the 3x multiplier ends. That means you have to plan out a path and make frame perfect plays. This will take a lot of repetition and practice. It took me multiple premature restarts on each course to figure out how I'd run them.
Bubble jump onto platforms where you can. In the agent stage you can use the platform you knock the rocket bot from to bubble jump from instead of taking the ramp.
You don't need every emblem/to kill every robot to get 5 stars but you can actually 100% each stage with the 3x multiplier still active. Best thing to do is try to run through each room and collect/kill everything you can but don't hesitate or turn around. Just keep going.
Get your ally damage mitigated points up. Bubble the robot as soon as it spawns in Agent. Time your bubbles to both be ready for this bit because it's the only chance to get ally damage mitigation points.
Don't let exploding robots explode, kill as many as you can. Letting them explode won't get you points. Shoot the floor in front of tank bots to boop them off the ledge. Having at least 50ish charge is enough to one shot rocket bots with direct secondary fire.
Other things to consider: Your statistic points max out at 200 so after you get enough kills with your weapon and bubbling friendly bot enough, booping/exploding/graving bots is fine. I still don't do it because the kills don't count until they've fallen, and that's 5 seconds I might not have. Your grav itself will kill rocket bots, they're really squishy. But at the end of Agent there's training bots that you can either explode, drop with your grav, or both.
Hero Mastery is basically speedrun mode. I think Agent is tougher than Veteran to get a good score on because you have to be *perfect*. Veteran gives you more permission to make mistakes but if you land every shot the first time you can get to the exit with 30+ seconds on your clock. I haven't been able to get to the exit in Agent with more than 15-20, which I spend to get the rest of the emblems in the last room.
Okay this is all I can think of for now but I hope it helps. Show me your scores!! (I'll have replay codes later but I might not be able to record/save them on this pc. And they won't be good by Tuesday. lol But I'll still share them.)
Replay Codes
I found out apparently the HM replays save every restart/fuck up I make so you can either experience the whole process or go straight to the timestamps that show the run for my best scores as of now. These will expire tomorrow and I can't record them! (I'll just have to remake new ones and give it a try eventually to put on my yt)
Recruit: EVPFM1 (I only gave this one session and moved on so I can probably improve what I did by a lot)
Agent: X87JB1 (I hate agent did I mention I hate agent cuz I hate agent)
Veteran: KP4PTH (My favorite to play. Recruit was fun too though, but not agent)
Use the K key (bookmarks) in the replay to go to the personal best runs.
ALSO. These courses blur together in my head so I made mistakes in the main post about which stage had good bubble jump spots. The one I was talking about is in the first room of Recruit. And if you don't know what bubble jumps are, that's my fancy word for Zarya's rocket jumps (which you do by right clicking your own feet and jumping at the same time, in case you don't know)
I think this is all I can offer now on that topic. Good luck!

zarya has a hero mastery course!!!!
this is the best i can do for now but man is it validating to know i was one of the first to get t100 (and ive held it all day!)
and soon some eboy is gonna post the strats on youtube and everyone will copy him and knock me out. or maybe not. agent and vet are really hard and i refuse to cheat and watch someone else's run. nope.

Who is the best Overwatch character (and why it's Zarya)
there's nothing on it yet but i think this is gonna be my replacement for this blog since it would be way too much work to update everything. also it's more interactive which is kyewl. maybe people can use it to find tank players to play with and stuff.
(accidentally misposted so now i'm double-crossposting)
so my dumb ass didn't realize i had to fucking invite people myself and tumblr rolled out open membership like yesterday. so if you wanted to actually join the group you can now. lmao
i know i haven't posted any rules or content yet cuz i straight up forget i exist sometimes. but i'm going to eventually. if you wanted to post things yourself, just to start things, i would love some fanart and game-centric content like tips, play videos, etc. (i'd have more to post but i'm STILL dealing with that now-8-year-old pc i keep telling you about and don't wanna push it too hard trying to edit videos)
tank lfgs were another thing i wanted to do, but i might try another group for that. or discord. idk i just wanted to point out you can actually join the group now lol

what do you call the game this blog is about, and what years did you start playing/get into the fandom?

i'm curious. share this around if you can!
Just Dva, Zarya and pink and Nails
this is so cuuuute aaa that last panel
I was playing so much ow2 and coming up with a good Zarya playstyle when both my accounts got CHAT BANNED for two weeks, so I decided to take a two week break.
I guess trying to boost morale by telling my team "let's kick some bitches in the clit" is not acceptable.
I thought they said they were going to give leeway to the typical crass things gamers tend to say [angry mumbling] they never let me have fun, they don't even let me say clit, fuckin bullshit man
I lost count of the days but it should be over like... this Thursday? Or next. If I can't come back at eboys calling me dogshit for not playing tanks with bigger shields, half the fun is just gone
Also,
This blog is still cursed but I might be able to uncurse it if I really give it a chance (and get the therapy I need lmao)
Shit's been seriously weird for me finding out I had DID, sometimes I genuinely forget that this blog even exists. But it clearly made a part of me happy once, whoever that part was. I'm not even sure I've met them yet after a year plus. I just kinda post in their absence and pretend I remember how incredibly passionate they were for this endeavor. I don't. But I'm working on things in there. Maybe I'll get another discord going because it got deleted way back when but discord's like... weird idk I don't like it.
Anyway I hope to come back to it in come capacity sooner than later. Til then, I'm just working on art and comics and shitposting on my blog about not-overwatch stuff. See you next time.
Things I learned:
If you tell people Junker Queen is in second place, a ton of Ana votes magically appear lol (Literally like 20 Ana votes just appeared when I pointed it out and they ended up tied in second. What's wrong with Odessaaa? I like her.)
People actually got mad that I said Orisa and Echo aren't real women [yawn] They're not, cry about it harder you disgusting omnic apologists But most importantly...
If you include Zarya in a poll about OW girls, she will win because Aleksandra "Crusher" Zaryanova always wins.
Which girl is the best Overwatch girl?
Ana
Brigitte
D.Va
Sombra
Pharah
Tracer
Zarya
Junker Queen
Widowmaker
Moira
Here's an actual good poll about this since I saw one floating around that omitted two women for omnics for some reason. lol the fans who have been around since day 1 don't appreciate that.
If your answer isn't on this list, leave a comment or tag and I'll count them by the end.
Women who didn't fit (in case you forget them all like I sometimes do):
Kiriko Ashe Symmetra Mercy Sojourn Mei Women who don't really count because they're dirty omnics but you can pick them if you must: Orisa Echo
See you next week
So far I'm loving the diversity. It helps to reblog this so more people see it!
-Ashe and Sym have one vote each (reblog and tag or comment for the ones that didn't fit in the poll - you can also cheat and vote twice that way and nobody will ever know) -Zarya is popular but I think my blog followers are a little biased. Don't tell them I said that -Pharah's mom has got it going on (it took hours for Pharah to join the race; she was the last one to start getting votes while Ana was one of the first) -I can't tell if tagging it OW or OW2 is better but I'm gonna try both this time
Aaand with two days left, it's down to Zarya and ~*Odessa*~... pffff
As if I'm surprised. Look at me. Do I look surprised?
