Only Using Sticks For 24 Hours The Finals
It took a minute, but somehow it felt like I was aiming more from feel and intuition than from visual cues and the actual crosshair, which might explain why I miss so damn much, but it's cool; y'all won't know that because those clips are in the abyss, so my approach to this particular weapon of the branch variety was to just pick it up and start blasting.
And it did work to a certain extent; it's mostly flick-aiming with some calculated spamming action at close range. One tricky bit with it is managing your ammo and knowing when to reload because it's only six shots, so it's important you hit your shots. The odds turn very quickly against you the more shots you miss, which is where positioning can help you make the most out of those six shots.
What's nice is to have cover, an alternate route to get a quick reload before you re-engage, or some movement tech to help you dip out if you get rushed. What I didn't realize for most of the playthrough is that if you shoot too quickly in succession while aiming down sights, there's actually more Bloom than if you let the gun settle for just a tin split.
Second, slow is smooth, and smooth is fast. That's the general mantra of this revolver. There's also a sweet spot you have to feel out for where it's more efficient to hip-fire rather than aiming down the iron sights, because when you blast that baby from the hip, you better hold on to your riches because it hits hard and fast as well.
Whip, excuse me, I got a little too into it there. I think I blacked out fortune favors.
Epilogue: 24 hour challenge outcome

This just goes to show that if you push yourself outside your comfort zone and commit to it, you can broaden your horizons and become a better player and even a better person.
I feel enlightened. You know, whatever it's just a article game, I did honestly have so much fun through the struggles and moments of pure elation and luck. I hope you were able to enjoy the fruits of my labor. I'm not stopping with my nature puns and analogies now that I'm starting to drift into insanity because this was so much more of a physical and emotional journey than I was able to show you.
You're an absolute champion if you've been able to stick it out this far in the article. If someone cuts me off, I'
