I know nothing of LoL, but it stretches my suspension of disbelief to the breaking point that a human with no physical or mental disability could practice a competitive activity for 17h a day, for weeks at a time, and not make any headway. I mean, at some point, you just have to get better than the people who don’t practice as much simply from being more familiar with the system.

Yeah the point of the fesh is that she is terrible at this bad game that she’s addicted to. I def spent two years playing LoL all the time, trying to convince my GF to blow me during matches and rushing to nuke a hot pocket in between rounds. Probably only went like $200-$300 on skins, then finally realized one day “I am not having fun anymore” and I bought a PS3 and walked away from MOBA for ever. Pretty much did the same thing with Overwatch. Games can be extremely addictive and weeks or months go by and you forget why you are playing in the first place. It’s worse than gambling in many ways because you are losing money and time on something that will never ever pay dividends, even though there is a ton of money theoretically at the tippie top

To clarify on the DC Leaks thing (because the puppetmaster appears to have forgotten about it and sent in an email asking): we had someone sending in a bunch of confessions claiming to be a DC Insider with leaked tidbits about the government, and then eventually a puppetmaster confession was sent in that used the DC Leaker's passphrase instead of the established puppetmaster passphrase, which means that they were the same person and got the passphrases mixed up, and I told the thread because that's the point of the passphrase system Anyway, content: quote:So the GBS thread on BPD really made me LOL. I think you might have some kind of disease too quote:I am the time traveller. I'm gonna hold you to that. He better.  Anyway, your original time is literally next month, you could, just, y'know, wait a month Or when your "past self" jumps through his vortex, you could just, y'know, walk into his house and resume your life where you left off instead of trying to hijack a vortex that will just send you to the friggin' past again

some people just have an addictive personality and will bash their heads against games they hate because they feel like they have no other option, until one day they have a "moment of clarity" and just stop playing. I used to be that way with CoD but then I grew up and realized there's a whole ecosystem of games out there, can't really justify playing one and hating it.

If you jump into the same vortex that sent you back, you'll create an incredibly hosed up recursion paradox and probably instantly delete yourself from time, forwards and backwards. I'm not saying not to do It, just to be clear

Time traveler goon: Don't knock your past self out and go through yourself. Throw past self through the portal and tell the goverment you made a time machine that can go back 30 days. That way you become the protagonist of 7 Days. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0GlAN5Q7fdE

I can never bring myself to read even 5 missed pages of a thread, because I get the urge to post but I can't satisfy it - the conversation's moved on. Except in specific cases where a thread circles around one topic for its entire lifetime

I used to be that way with CoD but then I grew up and realized there's a whole ecosystem of games out there, can't really justify playing one and hating it. I feel profoundly lucky and blessed that I have absolutely zero (negative even) interest in competitive or multiplayer games. I can just go boot up whatever single player thing I want and chill out and there's no pressure or toxic people or microtransations, and I can pause it at any time and wander off and I come back hours later with everything just how I left it. It's real nice.

I mean, at some point, you just have to get better than the people who don’t practice as much simply from being more familiar with the system. Bad players often get the wrong idea of what works and what doesn't and without a change in paradigm they'll just keep practicing the wrong thing they believe to be right. Past a certain threshold where the initial content is learned, someone doing that 17 hours a day is effectively getting better at being bad. You're just repeating the same stuff over and over and getting more muscle memory at doing the wrong things.

I think bad players (like myself) don't view playing as "practicing" so they aren't really even trying to get better. They just play the way they know how to play. Like I played starcraft 2 for a long time almost every day in college and I could never break out of silver league. I hit my natural skill ceiling very quickly in games and just don't care enough to progress beyond that. I'm the same way in call of duty games, I hate sitting still so I tend to die very often by running out into the open while other people are sitting still. People I play with will ask me to stop doing that, but no, that's how I fight, and as a result I have around 20,000 more deaths than kills. In the end, who cares. You don't have to be good at a game to enjoy it.

On the other hand, pubbies getting absolutely furious because you aren't playing good and, emotionally, they can't handle not ultrawinning... that is its own reward.

SciFiDownBeat posted:what was your favorite confession No idea, there were so many that they kinda blur together. I preferred the simple ones where the life of someone has not been completely destoyed or whatever, but small insecurities or lapses. Therapy goon would fit the bill but it‘s time for this thread to get latched on to something new, hey? Haha never gonna happen I know. Around page 200 I thought you guys get easily sidetracked by what seemed targeted feshes about temperature scales or whatever and then the puppet master feshes made that point completely unfunny and boring :-( Oh and way to go locacious, you made fesh happen.

Incoherence posted:The operative word there is "practice". You don't become an expert by just doing something for 10,000 hours; you become an expert by intentional and focused practice. And it doesn't even take 10,000 hours. I was trying to figure out how to suggest that it's about intentional practice... which is a skill many people haven't learned. Maybe, the anonymous posters answer, is to work with the girlfriend on learning how to do intentional practice. Giving her tools to be better, maybe she'll play less. Or at least, play better.

It is a perfect trolling topic for reasons I've gone into before and won't go into again because I'm not bored enough to restart it.  And thanks, fesh is a pretty natural abbreviation though so I can't take TOO much credit

Mainly because American food is loving trash designed for the broken palates of their landwhale population who are conditioned to feed on a steady diet of high fructose corn syrup and diabetus medication.
