Who says I won't be getting any practice after this?

I'm sorry I have to be blunt on this, but you should really cut back on using excuses to excuse "this is why I couldn't do such and such." and blaming past personal experiences on this. It's not going to help. Looking back at the past and blaming it is not going to get you anywhere with this, nor is it going to solve anything. I'm not a fan of wallowing in personal problems.

I'm not a fan of wallowing in personal problems, either, actually! It kinda sucks, to be honest. But I don't think I really thought that my problems excused anything... Well, some of the time maybe I did. I dunno. This thread has been lasting more than a third of a year. A lot changed in that time. I know I haven't been claiming today that anything justifies my past behaviour. All I can do is try to explain it so people don't get all too pissed at me, and to remind myself of my faults as well.

Please. If you think you shouldn't try something because someone is better at said thing than you - Then you're not going to get anywhere. You shouldn't be aiming to win. But rather to give yourself a chance to try different things. Doesn't matter if it turns good or not - you tried. Better than not trying at all.

It's hard to decide on what you really want to do. I did want to win the battle, and if I had played Radium's game the same way he did, I would've invariably ended up looking like a worse rip-off. And there's the question whether I'd really want to beat him at his own game, because his isn't mine.
And yes, I already said that trying to stuff the backstory in there was stupid. Not to mention doing so in such an unsubtle way. And yes, I know I need to start accepting criticism.
