RockPaperScissorsV2 follow-up Advanced

Question

I have posted my first version of RockPaperScissors a while back. It was on an old version of python with improper use of some functions. This version was updated to a more recent version of python and has a little extra for users who run on terminal. Is there anything I should add or change? Are my classes used correctly? Are there any bugs? Any overall improvements?

Great to see the advice from the first question helped! I just have some small notes for this one.

Good to have docstrings everywhere, but you can use ''' for docstrings, which is easier to read than having to escape a double quote.

'''Stores all items related to "Score"'''

Speaking of docstings

def delirioussyntax(self):
    """Creator"""

That's really not clear what it does. If it was intended as an easter egg then it is fun to be confused, call the function and see it run. But since you're calling it then it's not really hidden. Give it a clearer name or a docstring that actually outlines what it does.

def print_creator_name(self):

In custom_input you've got two while loops, but really you just need the while True one. You have a return statement, so as soon as there's a valid input there, your function returns and the loop ends. There's no other time the loop should end, so you can otherwise loop indefinitely:

def custom_input(self, question, choices):
    """A custom loop that checks to see if choices are valid
    :param choices:
    :param question:
    """

    while True:
        response = input(question).lower()
        if response in choices:
            return response
        print("Correct inputs:\n  >", end='')
        print("\n  >".join(choices), "\n")

Even though you're only incrementing by one, I'd personally say it's better to use less than to test in play_game. It makes more logical sense to the brain that you want to run while you have played fewer rounds than the full set. But it's marginally more confusing to think that you're playing rounds while the amount played isn't equal to the chosen amount. It's also a way to avoid potential bugs, in case the round amount is ever incremented by more than 1, you might forget to update this and accidentally create an infinite loop.

    while self.Score['rounds'] < rounds:
