this week i decided to do a lore drop, i hope to do more of these in the future. this lore drop is a walk through of my gaming history, how it started (from what i can remember) and how i ended up getting to valorant. i also go over the origins of boomer to diamond where i was when i found woohoojin and it all came to be (from my perspective at least).
