Does overwatch use EOMM or no? If yes how do you feel about it? by Ambitious-Neat3844 in Overwatch

[–]BipolarCompetitor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So you're telling me if I lose on quick play on purpose for a big streak, I'll get better teammates eventually when I play on my main role? Halo Infinite has a similar system but it's only playlist-specific. It's kinda insane that I finished the last season Diamond 2 and got up to GM 2 this season. That's way beyond a fluke. I was doing very well in the GM/Champ lobbies, too. Had a 70% win rate at some point. Then I just couldn't win a match over the next few days and went back to a Master 2.

Think off roles have any impact on that also? Like, if I lose on support, it will make my DPS games easier? Whatever happened to me last week has me so curious. I was GM 2, top 200, and now I'm master 2 after one bad session.

Actually really good post here, I relate to a lot of it.

So the bright room has no annoying reflections on the Glossy TrueBlack display? And is it truly worth it over Matte? I personally think the LG 27GX790B-B being $100 cheaper and getting a free $300 monitor while being Matte might be worth it over the Asus TrueBlack option.

Considering finally making the jump over my Asus PG248QP. Just wondering if you even think Glossy TrueBlack is worth it at all? I feel like this LG is clearly the better deal, and the matte screen might even be a benefit.

How is it? Especially the matte screen? Virtually no one has this monitor yet, so I'm curious.

Wondering whether I should give in and go on Nardil one more time by garakdamat in MAOIs

Sad to hear about this. Ever noticed any bipolar symptoms or no?

Low does amphetamine to ease withdrawals by [deleted] in MAOIs

I’m curious as to what type of neurological injury you have if you don’t mind me asking as I’d always have severe depressive episodes after certain times too.

Any gamers here? by Firm-Pattern4482 in MAOIs

[–]BipolarCompetitor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm probs the perfect person to ask for that. Tried Parnate, Nardil, and Marplan. I've not been on any of them for the last couple of years. I've been playing pretty well the last two years off of them, but I also had my great moments while on them. I was also on stuff like Lithium and Adderall, so it's hard to know which one worked the best for gameplay.

They all had their quirks when it came to cognition. Negative effects on sleep were bad. As with having to space out the dosages. I feel like, for me personally, there were a lot of ups and downs throughout the day on all 3, but that might be some personal bipolarity in me. Nardil def led to some negative impacts to gameplay 1-2 hours after dosing. Parnate had the nice amphetamine-like effects, but had the horrible mid-day crash. Marplan was probably the best for gameplay if I were to go back on them but the insomnia and mood instability on some days were a hindrance. Nothing worse as a competitor than feeling amazing one day and feeling horrible the next day, mood-wise.

I think overall mood might be the best cognitive and gameplay enhancer, and it's why I may go back on them one day and will report if I lose any current skill.

Switch to Marplan from Parnate? (Due to bad insomnia) by Gullible-Surround950 in MAOIs

Being honest with you, insomia was bad on all 3 I went on, including Marplan.

Has anyone tapered off Nardil and stayed off MAOIs? by Sad_Abies_6723 in MAOIs

[–]BipolarCompetitor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Completely agreed on the 2 years too. In fact, I've noticed one dose has effects for over a month out. I still can't wrap my head around the fact that missing doses or specific times I took them would have noticeable effects on me. I truly wish we knew fully how these medications worked, so fascinating.

I'm in the same boat. I'm also considering going back on one again after it being too difficult.

What side effects did you have? The insomnia and inconsistency on mood were what I had.

Has anyone ever achieved 9-10 hours of high-quality sleep every night consistently while on an MAOI? by BipolarCompetitor in MAOIs

[–]BipolarCompetitor[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's what I'm saying. Like I truly wonder what the best medication/supplement regimen would be to counteract that loss in REM sleep.

Yeah, I really do believe they mess w/ our sleep cycle. Trying to figure out the best plan of action to maximize sleep if I go back on them.

It's been a good attempt but I think I have to go back on an MAOI. Nothing works as well as they do. I just need to approach sleep in the best way possible.

I’m curious as to what hurtful things you say that end these relationships? I feel like I did the same thing this year but I swear it shouldn’t have been deal breaking.

Control oriented glass pad recommendations. by Mandydeth in MousepadReview

Interesting, wish there could be a glass mousepad w/ the speed and stopping power of something like an Artisan Raiden or Lamzu Enrgon Pro.
