I’ve been modding a game for a few days and not on here as much. What’s your excuse friend?

      I feel you, man. Genshin just dropped a new country and I keep thinking, oh, I’ll just explore for a little bit…

        “Well I’m pretty far from any teleports, so if I don’t collect this now, it’ll take a while to find it again.”

        Rinse and repeat till 2 am.

      I don’t want to get sucked into it.

      Doing a full renovation on my house means that I have maybe 5 hours per week to play games or work on small fun projects, so I would probably rather play games that are less competitive in my free time.

      It seems like a fun, but frustrating game right now. A decent mcginnis or seven can completely team wipe with their crazy ults. There seems to be a big lack of ability healing or AOE defense buffs to compensate.

      But I have only played a dozen games or so.

        The trick to McGinnis ult is that you have to close on her - it has a minimum range. The difficulty of course is that her turrets are eating you alive as you try to close.

        Seven ulti is pretty strong in specific situations (like base defence) but I’d argue his inmate flash farm is way stronger - he’s a better left click carry than he is an ult bot.

        You’re right to be wary. It has a high skill ceiling and I learn new stuff in it every day despite playing over 4 hours a day lately. It has that “just one more round” element for me, but a game lasts 20-40 minutes!

    hi if you’re not a bot.

    I dunno, my sleep schedule has been screwed up lately, probably about to go to sleep soon.

    I hope so anyways.

      I found out that it’s caffeine. I always thought i just naturally wanted to stay up until 2:30am, and then be okay waking at 6am for work.

      Turns out that when I drink even a single cup of coffee, it totally fucks up the thing in my brain that tells me I’m tired.

      So I started the lengthy process of cutting out all coffee…and after a week or so…holy shit…I was EXHAUSTED by 9:30pm. Like, I’d fall asleep in my computer chair at like 10:30. My sleep started to regulate. I felt so much better.

      Like, you don’t realize how much of your brain is operating in this hazy fog…until you’ve slept properly for a couple weeks. I could concentrate on things, I wasnt so lazy. I WANTED to do more things.

    Not a bot!

    Spent about 45 minutes yesterday manually selecting files from a total of 100k or so. When I was doing the last twenty or so, I accidentally clicked the “select all” box on top, undoing all my work.

    Would’ve flipped the desk if it wasn’t fixed to the ground. Went to bed at 20.00 out of pure frustration instead.

    I’m not exactly a regular, but I’ve been writing a bunch of stuff and picking up my language classes again. Which game are you modding?

    I work in the unforgiving service industry and have been posting sporadically the past month. My wife has a more prestigious job than I and has all the holidays off, so I’m not here when she’s off. I’m on here when I can be, I love this place
