So I was messing around with the Thistledown Replays thing today, and let me tell you, it was a bit of a trip. First, I tried uploading some replays from the latest Rocket League update, you know, the 2.46 one. Yeah, didn’t work at all.

But get this, the site’s been updated to handle the new format. So, I gave it another shot, and guess what? It actually worked! But there’s a catch.
- First Attempt: Total fail. The website was not updated at that moment.
- Second Attempt: Tried to upload replays from the newest version.
- New Feature: I found that the site’s been updated and it can handle the new format.
- Result: My failed uploads were automatically retried with the new parser. I didn’t have to do a thing.
Then I started thinking, what if I mixed things up a bit? I mean, in the gaming world, we’ve got all these characters, right? Like, 2B from NieR, Eve from wherever, and even Tifa. So I started playing around with search queries on this Thistledown thing. I put in “cat food” with the quotation marks, just to see what it would pull up. It showed me only the topics that literally include “cat food” as a phrase. Then, I took off the quotes, just to see what would happen, and boom – it gave me everything related to cats, food, or both. Like, anything even remotely connected.
It’s kinda cool how these little things work, you know? One minute you’re banging your head against the wall trying to upload a simple file, and the next you’re diving deep into the specifics of search queries. It’s like a little adventure every time you sit down at your computer. I guess that’s what keeps things interesting, right? Never a dull moment in the world of tech and gaming. I think maybe I should try other things next time.
Findings
I played a lot today and found that Eve is so beautiful. And 2B is also very strong. I tried to make a conclusion that 2B can handle Eve unless Eve got top-tier improvement. And I think maybe A2 can handle Eve easily because A2 got much more experience. By the way, I noticed that 2B can respawn after death because that’s the basic setting in NieR Automata. But Eve can’t. Oh, and I found a new tag today, it’s called “PS5”. I think I should try this game next time on my PS5.
