"I'm still recovering from a brutal c-section that almost resulted in a rupture (but went well because my surgeons are goated). Glad that I left the house and it gave us a small idea of how to gauge bringing our daughter to tournaments and travel. She was actually chill."
Feels like every "make me a sandwich" asshole [G]amer on earth just got humbled.
I know it's "just a local" but as someone with a history in (very technical & skill-based) competitive gaming during my youth: mad respect
When the baby is that small, it's the perfect time to do stuff like this. You have to be "on call" if they need you, but they spend 90% of the time sleeping. So just hold them or have them strapped to you and do your thing!
I got caught up on so many shows during the first few days when my daughter was still nocturnal, and I know my wife beat a few games she had on the back burner.
Credit where credit's due, but it seems like great pains have been taken to hide the fact that this was a tournament of 4 players.
Looks like she also had a 1st place finish in this tournament, which had over triple the entrants (14), and she did it while 7 months pregnant—that's much more impressive, imo.
As someone who is sitting next to his newborn who he just brought home yesterday - the fact she did literally anything besides sleep is much more impressive
Classic Dexerto, making a headline that gives a wildly inaccurate impression of reality.
The headline made it seem like she won a tournament on the likes of EVO, not some small local tournament that could have just been among family members. Its cool she did this, but the author is REALLY trying hard to live up to their name (Virgina Glaze ).
Of course she won; she had a literal second set of hands to help her. It's the same reason that Goro is the best character in MK. I obviously never win when I play as Goro, but that's because everyone else is cheaters.

Being forced to parent siblings and parenting your own child are very different things. Even if you don't choose to have a child, they are your own flesh and blood and that makes a big difference.

The Picard Maneuver
"When you were a baby, Mommy was ripping out people's spines while breastfeeding you."
"...I can respect that."
"You'd better, honey."
The husband was one of her victims in the tournament too, so everyone in the house should be wary of crossing her.
It looks like she was playing in these events all throughout her pregancy, including a win at 7 months.

My first thought as well.

Same. I played FPS games and caught up on my streaming backlog while my first slept on me. I didn't imagine that I'd be able to do stuff like that.
I finished Netflix during night feeds for the first 6 months of my son's life.
You finished Netflix? Impressive.
That's kind of the total opposite of the typical "Florida man" scenario.
Because Florida Man is such a shambles Florida Woman must shine extra brightly
$28!?!
It was a 4-person tournament, what kind of prize pool do you think that's going to have? lol
Florida...uh...Florida's not doing so well
And that's with a $50 entering fee
So whoever put on the contest made
$50 * 4 = 200 - 28$172‽Credit where credit's due, but it seems like great pains have been taken to hide the fact that this was a tournament of 4 players.

Edit: grammar. I'm so tired
Huge congrats! Hang in there - everything gets easier soon.
Could you please be more specific? It's been 13 years. Maybe in another year?
Yes. Another year. Or another life. I keep mixing up these terms.
Next week for sure.

So, she beat.. 2 people?
Still.. Noyce.
Ended every match with a Babality.
Queue the Finnish hymn.

She was just feeding the baby it wasn't cheating!
To what????
babality! Finish him!
Very well, I am currently imagining it.
There are florda women too? How progressive.
Of it was League of legends that baby would be done.
These games always seem like random button mashing, ftw to me. Unfair advantage to be 2 player :P
damm
Kick fucking ass. Literally.
Florida is trully not for the weak.
Thus proving that Mortal Kombat is an easy game made for babies.

Goddamn I bet that baby is well-fed
I feel like there is. "Your mama" joke in there somewhere
Well done!
She's just enjoying the last bit of joy before that child sucks all it out of her life.
Kids are annoying and trying at times, but until you have your own kid it's impossible to understand how rewarding they can be.
unless you're in the 10% of parents who regret having children.
That's not true.
I grew up in a huge family and did a ton of parenting without my consent. I know exactly what it's like.
Being forced to parent siblings and parenting your own child are very different things. Even if you don't choose to have a child, they are your own flesh and blood and that makes a big difference.
AFAIK it's not so much "flesh and blood", but more about accepting the responsibility of being a parent.
