This was some of my first few games of the season. I don’t play Comp much but I've been playing it a little more recently. Mainly because I want to improve my general gameplay and maybe get to Diamond.

I wanted to know what I could improve on as Venture and Mei. I wanted to show both a win and lose to see what I could improve even when I do good.

In the Hollywood game I felt really stuck, like I couldn’t engage or even distract because I would end up dead. I showed my bf this game and they said that it looked like I was really distracted or burnt out. And it looked different from how I usually gameplay (which might’ve been the case but I didn’t feel that way at the time).

I still wanted to show this game because I wanted pointers on how I could still make an impact even against a comp like this. Or if it would’ve been better if I swapped Mei from the very beginning.

The King’s Row game was right after Hollywood, and I think I did much better. But I do still think I could improve, specifically with my engages and confidence. My bf along with my friends I play with say that my main issue is my confidence. But I don’t really know what steps I could take to improve that directly.

(Also this might be an important note: I don’t use aim assist, It feels incredibly disorienting so I decided years ago to turn it off. So if my aim looked a little inconsistent, that’s why.)

On a few guides I've watch, a lot of people have said to watch/take pointers from pro play. From your experience, has this actually helped you improve? I feel like whenever I watch pro play, I try to replicate them and fail. Then I'm like "man, I'm not as good as them" which, yeah. I feel like I usually have more success watching a simple guide and learning from my own mistakes. But I want to know what everyone else thinks. Did you get better at watching pro play? And if so, did you use a specific process?

I was just about to make an Amazon wishlist, but I was super concerned with the address option. Turns out Amazon recently changed the privacy policy, and now people can't buy things from third party sellers without being sent your address. So does anyone know any other websites for wishlists? Or better yet, are there any alternatives to amazon where I can get furniture at the same prices?

I listened to this one Melanie Martinez cover on Soundcloud (somewhere between 2016-2017). It was deleted off of Soundcloud years ago and I've been trying to find it ever since. Someone on this sub made a post of it before, but the description is deleted. Which is a shame because it had more info than me.

Here the link to the post: https://www.reddit.com/r/lostmedia/comments/h8mjfk/where_do_babies_come_from_melanie_martinez_the/ 

They had a Soundcloud link, YouTube link, and an Amino link. Which have all been defunct (the YouTube link was deleted by Melanie’s publisher. And Amino has been shut down).

What comes up when I search is a snippet and a guitar cover of it. I can say that those are 100% not them. I also found another version by Charlotte Grayson, which is similar but also not it. 

I remember some of the lyrics and the sound of it. It was played on the Ukulele or Guitar.  

Here are the lyrics I remember (might not be in order):

Where do babies come from, really?

Do they come from rainbows and love, or storks up above.

Mommy mommy tell me please

Where do babies come from, really?

Curiosity killed the cat

But she didn't really care about that

So she asked

Where do babies come from, really?

They come from boys who like to sit on their ass

They come from girls who want to grow up too fast

they come from screaming, fighting, and make up sex

they come from a whole life filled with regret. 

(This part is very hazy to me. For some reason I remember there being some kind of birthday party mentioned. Then the little kid tells the others the same thing her mom told her. IDK I really might be misremembering that):

She threw the milk at the wall in rage

Knowing her whole life was a lie

Curiosity killed the cat

But she didn’t really care about that

So she asked

Where do babies come from, really?

They come from boys who like to sit on their ass

They come from girls who want to grow up too fast

they come from screaming, fighting, and make up sex

they come from a whole life filled with regret.
