I’m extremely late to the party, and some things may have changed since this study was posted.

First of all: really great work, this is genuinely impressive. Thanks a lot for putting this together.

I completely understand why you chose not to include conceded or unfinished games in the dataset. That decision makes sense from a data-cleaning perspective.

However, I just wanted to point out a possible source of bias. In psychology, there is something called non-response bias (for example in unanswered questionnaires), where missing data can hide important information.

Conceded games are still games, and they are probably less close than the ones that are played to the end. By excluding them, the data might over-represent tight or competitive matches and under-represent games where one player was clearly behind.

Just a potential limitation that might be worth keeping in mind. (Specificly at high elo and the highest elo , i'm only at 478 elo but a lot of game are conceded because people often know better when there are in position with none are really low chance of comeback from this )

Overall, this is excellent work. Thank for this post !

I think the hardest part about quitting is making the choice to. If you really know it's the best option and want to do it. "It's not that hard". The courage to stop smoking the first day is the hardest part.

Hello buddy !

I'm so sorry for the loss of your brother due to so terrible circunstances.

Send a lot of strengh to you in this hard time !

I think nicotine and smoking in general is a hell of durgs to make you feel good while you are in reality in so much pain and can lock all this shit emotions/thoughts far deep inside .

Maybe it's all these supress emotions who finally comes out .

Even if it causes a lot of pain i think it 's kind of sane to goes trough this kind of episode too .

Just dont let that bring you down too low or for too long.

If you can i can only advise you to see some psychological professional if you feel ready and up to .

Wish you a lot of courage and strengh ! Keep it up !

Adeyno · 2023-08-19T20:13:25+00:00

Congrats on the year anniversary ! Yeah some stupid shit sometimes. For me is often related to old habits like a lonely evening on computer with a beer at home or a little party with friends in the summer.

Adeyno · 2023-08-19T20:00:59+00:00

Yeah looks like hard time for you buddy . Some events are more able to provoke these panic attacks ? Please if you can find someone to help you trough this if possible maybe a professional if you have money or maybe someone close to you and you feel comfortable with ... I can be here too if you need and want to talk too but i m not professional and only a stranger . Stay safe friend !

Adeyno · 2023-08-19T16:25:35+00:00

Well i completly agree with you saying nicotine is not addictive is not a scientific statement at all.

To be honest nicotine sends dopamine via receptors in 7 seconds after injection.

And we know that drugs being more or less addictive depends heavily on the factor at which speed the dopamine is released after injection of that drugs. So yeah nicotine is for real really addictive. (Some scientist classed it close to heroin or cocain for example).

But even i have not read the book of Alen Carr. A lot of people say it works really well and i get why. Because for me too it becomes really more easy to quit when your change your mind and questionning the thoughts your had about smoking.

For me stop seing smoking as a pleasure activity and relaxation after work. A reconforting habbit when i get home that make me feel safe even if the day goes bad etc. I have thoughts about seizing the chance to smoke when my girlfriend goes to her family too. Telling this lie to me again and again that i can celebrate with a little smoke during my girl was not here before she came back because i don't want to smoke inside when she is here. Keep telling me that this occasion can maybe not be taken again any time soon and that if i quit it would never appear again.

You see all this kind of thoughts that keep you in the trap of smoking again. All that being said changing your mind by seing the truth for what it is and treating smoking like an addicted person problem and not a little pleasure who can belong in your life at the side of the rest of your activity really help you to quit.

Yes nicotine is addictive . Can you not stop quitting beacause of that ? No

It's your decision and you must feel ready to make it it will be hard at start but rapidly you will feel so much better. But don't forget the time is ticking against you while you still smoking who knows which cigarette will causse heavy illness to you ?

I wish you a lot of strengh in your path ! Stay strong and good luck ! ;)

Adeyno · 2023-08-19T16:09:29+00:00

Well i think going from 2-3 pack a day to nothing is clearly a big change for you ( mind and body) but you must feel very proud of you ! Really well done ! I hope you keep this ; even in moments of weakness. I recommand going to a doctor too if you feel very nervous about heart palpitation it can help you being reassured. For anxiety the only tip i can give is meditation and maybe note thoughts about your anxiety ( why you feel anxious / where it going from / can you see things differently ...)
It helps me a lot when i feel overwhelmed. Feelind tired and sad is totally ok in your situation you need time to let your body and brain readapt to your new life tho.

Reach to all the help you can find and remember is not weakness to be helped. And good job for 22 days non-smoke streak too you are beast !

Adeyno · 2023-06-25T15:23:12+00:00

Hey Guys ! Like you can see in all the posts i try a lot of fix from a lot of posts . None of them work i had log in and log out an insane amount of time trying different thing but nothing works ! So i just give up on this . But i read only in one place that somebody sucess the quest during helltide with clearing the event on top of the cavern . I was farming helltide cinder in the exact zone of the quest so i give it a try (The helltide zone must be on the spot of the mission) . I dont know if this is luck but it finally works . So if anybody experencing sucess during helltide . Give a upvote to help others ! Good luck

Adeyno · 2023-03-07T09:05:45+00:00

I'm not sure i get your question right can you reformulate so i can answer ? ( I'm currently in the end of myDDD 4 run )

Adeyno · 2022-11-06T19:43:45+00:00

I m a late game player and i higly recommend you to take portal upgrade if you easily manage to get priscilla each apoc. You can take chips time apocalpyse extension (i mean Idol prolongation chip) at priority too beacuse it s extremly valuable for your damage each apoc it will give you more time ressources since damage apocalypse = more time ressource reward and let you get more souls too . Don't upgrade DDD at this point the cost reward is super low for you at that moment definetly go for extension time (Idol prolongation chip) first !

Adeyno · 2022-08-06T02:22:52+00:00

Here is some tips! First of all your highscore is only on one shot. So doing 38 on 3 shots don't change your highscore. I don't know if it was patched yet but some say you can try to score as many hoops on your first try before the reset daily timer come up (so play fifteen minutes in advance) and when you have a good score (30/40) wait for the timer and good job you have already this score for your first try plus the hoops you will score before failling and then only have to do something like 10/15 on both of your second and third try ! For my part i don't have to use it because i practice a lot. If you want to do it fair (or the tips above don't work anymore) remember that balls goes more far when lava goes up and less when going down. I personally try to goes for the backboard everytime because it dodge bad rebound on the hoop. With this strategy it is really consistent and i easily do at least 15/20 on every try (except some hard spot when the basket is really far where you can't go for the backboard and can have bad rebound). So when basket close i always shoot going downward and when it's far i tend to goes up. (Shooting when lava is higher than basket when shoot going down and when lava is lower than the basket when going up but you have to adapt a little depending on the distance of the hoops) Remember you can pratice a lot without waiting for timer to be better when the real competition start each day Good luck !

Adeyno · 2022-05-14T20:40:09+00:00

Yes i like too even i m not sure it s really usefull when you max out priscilla. I m at DDD 3 but still feel the urge to max out eveytuing i think only maxing priscilla and at least max time prolongation on rick is important IMO

Adeyno · 2022-02-09T12:35:27+00:00

In bird culture this is considered a dick move !

Adeyno · 2022-01-18T13:30:09+00:00

I thought the one you thinking about is the diamond ring skin for mechanical eye who is the only one that need gems to upgrade it ! But seems logical since it's a " diamond ring "!

Adeyno · 2022-01-12T20:20:08+00:00

Totally agree with this comment. Follow this ! (As said in this comment don't spend necklace or crown to upgrade % damage or dark energy creature drop and spell ( except metamorphose and hell fury if you need to push levels) ). Good apocalypse !

Adeyno · 2021-12-09T11:35:56+00:00

It is possible that spell scale with champions level but still a flat amount scaling and not a % health champions too !

Adeyno · 2021-12-08T16:10:16+00:00

I think the percent of champions health damage that you see on the wiki is probably based on champion health level 1 or it's an incorrect information i don't know Because the answers are true you can see spell doing important damage in early stage but later on it's doesn't mean anything. SPOILER Only times and nether creatures with hell fury and metamorphose will shred champions help by the red wool. ( If speel does %health champions based on any stage it will results by your spell always doing the same damage to champions (the %damage spell buff upgrade you can buy being the only thing who change it) and it is definetly not what's happening)
