My Image
I literally can’t make photos worth viewing or looking, so here’s one I made. It’s my buddy, the reading lamp. This is also a funnier picture of mine, others of mine are BORING and probably copyrighted maybe.

Lucky Snipe: MK8DX online
This was an awesome lucky shell snipe I made online yesterday. I personally was thinking it would hit him, but I still jumped out of my seat when I landed the hit! Getting back online after waiting a month for switch online felt so goooood.
Also, tip for being competitive is being able to read your opponents, much like fighting games. Read their movements and predict where they will go, and you too can plan out a strategy and attack or pass them up. Paying attention is key!
Why You Can’t Use Google Images
The picture above seems harmless, right?
WRONG!
This picture is a picture from google of my close friends YouTube. It is a copyrighted image and I could be punished for using it without his permission. Well, obviously I asked him if I could use it for this, but that doesn’t mean you can. He could press charges and take you to court if you don’t pay the fine. The use of pictures without permission is essentially theft of the original owners work, not to mention if you use the picture for profit you could suffer even more severe punishment.
Moral of the story, GET PERMISSION!
My Commenting Experience
The experience I had with commenting was ok. I didn’t know who I wanted to view so I closed my eyes, scrolled down the blog list, and clicked on a random one. I respected their commenting guidelines and did not use emojis (it was hard) in my comment. Of course as required I left a link to my blog site, but it felt kinda rude to blow my site in his face. Maybe I’ll get used to it

Controller Care
A good thing for competitive gamers is my keeping a good controller. Caring and cleaning your controller is important for its upkeep and performance. And as much as some of us may not, replacing a controller regularly is important, as wear and tear is in avoidable in competitive play and will negatively impact you. To care for your controller is simple and takes only 10-20 minutes depending on the person you are. First point, is be gentle with your controller. It’s understandable, we all have those intense moments, but those moments destroy your triggers, sticks, etc. Be more gentle if you think your do it damage. If your sticks feel gritty when you move them, check under them. If you see a visible ring of plastic dust, clean it with a cuetip and alcohol. That dust effects performance by making the stick more gritty. Also, the dust can get into the control stick box and destroy the stick altogether, forcing replacement. Keep your controller feeling matte as well. If the controller feels slick or greasy, you need to clean it. This affects grip and stance in holding it, leading to easier mis-inputs. Buttons also suffer the same greasy mess, so clean those too. When cleaning them, do NOT use water! Use alcohol as it will less likely destroy the internals of the controller board and will evaporate, avoiding any springs from rusting.
The pictures show what some of these cases look like.
This is what control stick dust looks like. Make sure to clean this as soon as possible!
This is button greasyness. Due to lack of cleaning it wore the matte finish away and it’s unfixable! To avoid this clean regularly!!! Notice how there is a ring around the buttons and it’s really shiny. This is not a flashlight side effect either!

MK8DX: Knowing Your Tracks
An important part to Mario Kart is knowing the ins and outs of the track. It’s important you know the upcoming turns, item placement, anti gravity zones and others. Be sure to practice offline in time trial mode to get a feel for the tracks and practice on ALL of them. Then, you can do more advanced tricks and even fool your opponents into traps such as pushing them off road!
