one piece nowhere near best anime. The manga could be called one of the best, but the anime is so slow/filled with filler that you cant skip making it such an unpleasant viewing experience

yea if youre studying on 4 hours sleep you can study for 4 hours longer than if you slept 8 hours but your brain will not be working to remember things, pretty sure your brain does most of its consolodation during sleep as well. Defo work on getting 8 hours sleep every day and consistent sleep timings and youre golden.

During exam periods I get super strict with myself, delete youtube and things from my phone, remove every app that I don't need to use every day from my home screen etc etc. Its not about forcing yourself to do it, as its gonna be hard to stay focused if you don't want to do it.

Just try and manage your workspace in a way that makes it super easy to do work and hard to get distracted. Some thing I did (dont have to do all as I am very strict with myself as I used to be super lazy)

  • Cold Turkey Blocker - Blocks websites / apps on your computer so you can't access them at certain times
  • Delete apps like discord/social media from everything but my phone, and then put my phone in my bag/ a different room
  • Brain.fm - This one is pretty gimmicky but it works for me
  • Same routine every day - go to bed at the same time every night and get at least 8 hours sleep in. The longer you sleep the better but anything less than 8 and you aren't at peak performance
  • Leave important tabs open/ pages open for yourself the next day
  • Write out a plan each morning for everything you want to get done, helps you stay focused and manage your time better

12 hours a day isn't sustainable, Id only do it a month or so before exams, normally I'd study 6-8 hours a day during non exam periods.

Obviously everyone is different, but I think dedicating 30 mins a day to taking care of yourself is very doable and important.

When I was at uni I studied 12 hours a day + 8 hours sleep + 1 hour commute + 1 hour food and shit, but I'd still take the time in the evenings to journal.

Even if its only 5 mins a day, its a good habit to build and you will feel much better about yourself if you do it

not really something you can learn as its all personal, just gotta throw yourself in and try it. I go to counselling 1 time a month and she recommended that I try it.

What I do is normally start by writing about my day, what went well, what went wrong and whats on my mind. I normally go off on tangents where I write about literally anything that comes to me. I write about 2 pages in an A5 sized journal, normally takes me 15-20 mins, but when I first started I would only write a couple things down so its up to you how much you want to do.

The self reflection normally happens during this time where I think about what sort of person I want to be, and how I treat myself / others, and be strict about it and honest about your own mistakes.

posted about a year ago

Meditate every morning before I get up + gym + self reflection time/journaling in the evenings. Just have to spend more time with yourself and no distractions, just you and your thoughts and you will find out a lot about yourself, your insecurities and issues.

Pretty sure the general consensus is that c9 dropped yay and vanity due to money issues rather than performance issues. They looked good against PRX and were able to punish them pretty easily, which unstructured and inflexible teams normally cant do, so they obviously had something about them.

You guys do not understand how broken gekko is gonna be on bind. His moshpit will literally terrorize people playing on b site. Raze + gekko + viper molly can cover all of site.

Harbor wall will be really strong for taking a, brim will be better for taking b. It depends on what teams want to abuse more

They should make it so that you can take kill banners from skins you already own and put them on skins without kill banners. Say if you owned prime vandal and liked the kill sound, you can put it on the newest battlepass skins as well. Makes it so they can release these shit bundles without sounds, and we can turn them into the recon phantom or champs vandal.

People buy skins with nice sounds that they dont like the rest of the skin (origin)
People buy shit skins with no sounds as they can equip sounds they like on them (literally every non premium skin)

Free money glitch?

the issue with teams like that is that there isn't a weak link, so a 1 for 1 replacement where an instant improvement will happen is impossible. You kinda have to stick it out until you completely fall off, or eventually get to the top

You can put clear on raze on raze maps and he can either play chamber or jett. DSG were rocking with chamber on split before so I dont see why they wouldnt do the same now with the best chamber player to touch the game.

i appreciate you taking the time to write this out. I understand where you’re coming from and agree with the patriotism vs nationalism part, my bad for grouping it together when they are very different.

I’m still of the belief that you can love something regardless of it’s flaws, i think we both agree on that, but I think where we disagree is on this.

I don't know, speak ill of your mother, your family, your pet, you'll go crazy, right? You will say "shut up asshole"

If someone from the outside who has never met my mum speaks ill of them it wouldn’t faze me at all because they obviously don’t know anything and me reacting to it puts me at their level. Obviously if we were out in public and someone said to her she was ugly/fat and it upset her I would be pissed, but if it’s just some random timmy from US who has lived a privileged life calling my country shit why should I care.

The thing that annoys me is the double standards and blatant ignorance a lot of Brazilians/Americans have when it comes to blow for blow. Like you are both allowed to shit talk other countries “because they do it as well” and enjoy doing it, all the while getting way too emotional and angry when they do it back.

yea thats why I was saying its a battle not worth fighting, there is no point in hekzy trying to change the way it is because its always gonna be like this as its a never ending

region 1 calls region 2 shit
region 2 sees this and calls region 1 shit
region 3 sees this and joins in
region 1 sees 2 regions call them shit and calls them both shit

It never ends

its hard to find the correct signifier, I could say "some" instead of "most" or a word in between, but I am talking about the valorant fans that he'll be interacting with on this website so most would be more accurate due to this region pride cringe shit going on. HAHA EU > NA like who cares.

Obviously I treat everyone irl with 0 bias or prejudice because there is 0 chance i meet any of these basement dwellers anywhere else other than on this website. But on this website people are stuck in this positive feedback loop where they see people constantly battling between regions and think this is a normal thing to do.

posted about a year ago

you guys use our criminal rate to offend us bcuz you cant criticise us at valorant since we are chad in it

This is the issue. "You guys" . I have never said anything like this, so is it that you think everyone from the same country must share the same beliefs? I am truly in the mind that if you are discussing anything outside of valorant you are not in the right place, so why should I be lumped in with "you guys" and this us vs them narrative when I am here to discuss valorant?

Also if people are mentioning the criminal rate... why does it matter/offend you? Bad things are allowed to happen in your country, no need to be ashamed if its true, or angry if it isn't. It does not matter at all... and if you know people are doing it to annoy you, why do you do it back, to people who don't even engage with that in the first place.

Me being European has nothing to do with my argument. If I was from anywhere else in the world I would also be ashamed of people from my country having delusional pride and fighting people online for literally no reason. To me the country/continent I was born in does not represent me as a person, and I am able to form my own unique thoughts outside of the country I was born in.

Its weird how you guys are so down to make jokes, you'd think we'd be able to joke with you about things as well without receiving death threats or being told to not play the victim (I am in no way a victim as my brain works and I can think independently outside of the country I was born in).

I think UK's education is pretty bad, I agree with you even if you are joking. As I am a functioning member of society and I don't gain any value from fighting for my country in online forums I take no offence in you stating if my countries education is good or bad, even as a joke.

"Us" talking about wealth inequality in your perfect country (I have never done this personally as once again, I gain nothing for fighting people about their nationality) shouldn't offend you, if its true, then its true and hiding from it and being proud of your country regardless makes you the problem, if it's false then once again it shouldn't offend you as it isn't real.

Hekzy I 100% agree with you, but you have to realise most of the American fans are so brainwashed into nationalistic and patriotic thinking that it is impossible to speak to them on level terms. We can speak to each other about the flaws of European countries in a respectful and good faith upholding way, but when you talk to these people, the moment you criticize anything about them they see you as wrong/racist because they are so in love with their own nation/people that they aren't ever listening to what you have to say because they 100% believe their country is faultless. Its scary to see honestly.

People like alitmanus will call other countries education/culture shit without hesitation, but the second you say literally anything about brazil the flood gates of abuse open. This seems to be a culture issue (yes i am criticising it) and it doesn't matter how many posts you make its going to be the same. You are fighting a losing battle, just try not to interact with Brazilians/americans in any sort of discussion where you aren't in agreement; Life becomes much easier that way.

it means youre shooting heads more than you are bodys, if sinatraa had his movement + smoke/wall spraying habits but had better crosshair placement his hs would increase, which would be a good thing.

Higher HS% does indicate better aim / gunplay / crosshair placement.

They could also scrim other teams, while playing in competitions that are also competitive? This is just a downgrade where its all about inclusivity rather than meritocracy. A team like apeks or les pettit bouffons are gonna get left out of ascension while an immo 2 italian team is gonna make it in. Now you take the best team out of these smaller regions and they have even less competition to play against. Replace the good team that left with a team thats worse than all the other teams and these leagues aren't developing

posted about a year ago

Building up scenes for certain regions is a good idea on paper, but this is all theoretical. Teams in these minor regions arent going to improve at a rate higher than those with good competition, they will not be able to catch up in this format. Language barrier excuse doesnt apply, as you dont need to be able to talk to your opponents? You can play with italians, just against actual competition. Do you think teams are going to pick up players who are stomping against unproven talent? Scouting rarely happens and everything is normally achievement based.

I come from rocket league, and a minor region of saudi arabia and the middle east has been developed into an actual contender vs eu and na. They were awful for so many years, just playing against other middle east teams, then they started getting invited to play in european event with all the other EU teams, actual real competition against teams better than them. Now the top ME team is a very strong side, and the region as a whole is pushing out talent after talent. None of these players would have had any recognition or opportunity if they hadnt played against teams outside of their region. They would have stayed at the same level, never getting to play against actual pro level teams asides from scrims.

Splitting everything up doesnt inspire growth as there is no challenge, and nothing to prove. Players like tomaszy who are stomping their regional league, may never get a chance to join a well established team, as he cant join any team outside of portugal unless theyre in ascension or franchised. And at that point would you take the gamble and sign someone like that who has no experience? It makes no sense for orgs to gamble like that, it could be that the Portugal region is so weak that him stomping means literally nothing.

when i said you cant pretend there are 400 tier 2 players i meant skill wise, obviously they would technically be considered tier 2 but this system puts little to no value on the term tier 2 as realistically skillwise none of them are close to this level. It feels more like game changers where its giving opportunities to, in this case, regions who arent as fully developed instead of creating a competitive ecosystem.

In americas, theres NA, LATAM North/south and Brazil. If it was the same as the mess of eu there would be a league for Bolivia as the Bolivian talent pool isnt that large and needs some support to develop.

Its way too inflated at the moment, at the end of the day, inclusivity seems really nice on paper, and im sure the italian players really appreciate the opportunity to play against other italian players, but long term, maybe 1 italian player max is going to get scouted from these teams as the level of play is so low, and playing against the same low level players isn't how scenes develop. Say one of these italian players got onto a team in one of potentially 3/4 mixed leagues, maybe eu Mediterranean league they would have a much much larger chance to get picked up by an established team.

posted about a year ago

you also cant pretend that there are 400 players who are tier 2, ie close to tier 1s level. that would literally just be everyone whos radiant, and the skill gap between the average radiant to pros is huge. Being so open and inclusive is nice short term as it gives all these people "an opportunity" to be tier 2, but competition is what drives up ability and interest. No one coming out of half of these smaller regions leagues are ever going to be tier 2 level as they are only playing people who are from that certain tiny region.

and comparing NA challengers to these tiny one country regional leagues is insane lmao, the only reason its NA only and not brazil or latam as well is because of ping differences and distance, eu doesnt have that problem
