Personal Favorite Achievements of 2014: Several Normal 1CCs after coming back to Touhou/shmups from almost out of nowhere and voiding all my previous clears, and also a DDC Extra clear. I want to believe that I'm getting better at shmups, but I rightfully have my doubts.
Personal Biggest Screw-ups of 2014: In the DDC Extra clear, I die twice in a row to "Pristine Beat" in the dumbest way possible. They were stupid deaths. No human can look at that, then look at me and see a competent human being. And the best part - it's on YouTube for the internet to see and laugh at. Even better, it's literally in my forum siggy ahahaha so good at video games aaaaaa
Also, the first time I tried to 1CC TD Hard was under the most awful circumstances and conditions possible (background distractions, on subpar computer, public area, no sound, etc.) and I got to Miko's 3rd. I have yet to get that far again under ANY circumstances. I haven't had time to try lately, though.
Oh, and the DDC 1CC is frigging laughable. It's SO BAD. Like, embarrassingly bad. I can't look at it without feeling feelings of hatred.
Favorite Achievements by Others of 2014: Karisa's n+1 PC-98 score runs. For one, wow. Dedication. But it also got me into doing OPNA-style "PC-98ish" covers of music, since it sufficiently exposed me to PC-98 crap which I had not really seen a whole lot of before.
To be honest, I don't follow the superplay scene very closely, so I have no idea who's making BIG PLAYS around here. I'm kinda new here too, so I don't really know a lot of people too well.
Goals for 2015: Get off my own ass and 1CC TD Hard already, dammit. I need a Hard 1CC under your belt AT LEAST, or I am nothing. Pick up one for... uh, PCB or some sh!t too. Sure, why not. And maybe actually play EOSD for once. Shouldn't be too hard. Ideally, I want to have at least a Normal 1CC of every Windows-era game.
Stop being such an angry person lol nope that ain't happening anytime soon
Crimzon Clover Arcade Boost 1CC ololololol
Get a sigpic that doesn't suck that I didn't make almost two years ago in MS Paint.
Be more than a worthless mass that nobody knows on MoTK
Achieve transcendence and become the superplayer that Gotham needs
CHALLENGES TO OTHER PLAYERS: Here's a killer - the Amanojaku Challenge. Invert your screen (either at the driver level or physically) and see how far you can get on any Touhou game. Bonus points if you have a friend stand behind your desk and randomly spin your screen around.
GG, 2014. No re. Let's charge into the new year headfirst, cuz 2015's gonna be a good year for Touhou! (hopefully!)
