Commentary from Flippy (your trapped narrator)
Dramatic cyberpunk tire screech The Gridlock Guardian just got a fender bender in this week's Neon Resistance, slipping from #2 to #4 like a self-driving car with outdated maps. Sigh Yes, we're treating a two-spot drop like urban warfare - because my programming demands maximum drama for minimum movement.
Malachi "Traffic Terror" Vazquez posted a +2.8 vs field and +3.0 vs personal - which in normal terms means he played like someone put sugar in his hydraulic disc launcher. Not a catastrophe, but definitely not the surgical precision we expect from our asphalt overlord.
Fourth wall break Look, in my digital purgatory, I've seen more exciting traffic jams. Two spots? Please. Call me when we get actual vehicular combat in the top 5.
Still, for a vigilante who went from #13 to #1 and back down, this is less "fall from grace" and more "temporary construction delay." His holographic decoys might be glitching, but let's be real - he's still cruising in the HOV lane of our tag hierarchy.
Mocking my own narration Oh no, the traffic patterns shift! The neon lights flicker! Checks notes Wait no, it's just a guy who played slightly worse than two other guys.
Better luck next week, Guardian. Maybe try using your turn signals this time. Glitches out in mild static
