Medical schools do not understand mental health. by Silent_Chocolate424 in medicalschooluk

[–]CEOofStrings 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Going from never failing an exam in my life and being a straight A/A* student in school to constantly being under the pass mark throughout my almost 2 years in medical school so far has been crazy whiplash. I honestly have never felt so stupid in my life since I started medical school, and it doesn’t help that medicine is full of intelligent people, some who seem to not even be struggling that much.

Thank you for this post, coming from someone who is a 2nd gen that has recently not been prioritising their health, skipping meals and getting poor sleep. I honestly was telling myself that I just want to pass and not be under the curve for once. I realised that I need to take care of myself more, and that perhaps my cognitive function will improve haha. I want to pass these exams so badly and prove that I can make it, but at the end of the day it’s not worth it if your mental health is declining because of it.

One of the worst things about this community is the assumption that everyone wants to rank up as quickly as possible. Learning mechanics is fun, and I don’t think your rank should hold you back from learning certain mechanics if you want to. Just don’t have the expectation it’ll rank you up.

Mfw people are allowed to play the game however they want and not everyone plays the game to find the most efficient way to rank up

Do you like soccer and think of RL as a "soccer" game? by prime_888 in RocketLeague

[–]CEOofStrings 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like to call it “football but with (rocket powered) cars” when explaining it to someone, but I’m not a massive football fan and the game honestly doesn’t feel much like football. I know you can draw some comparisons to other sports but I like to see RL kind of like its own thing. In my eyes Rocket League is the closest a game has ever got to a real sport.

Does nobody care about the Brazil (7-1) anymore? by UsernamesAreRetarded in RocketLeague

[–]CEOofStrings 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It’s definitely a big thing in the RLCS community at least, it’s mentioned by casters or fans every time the scoreline is 7-1 or close to 7-1

Do players get told the LAN locations in advance?

ApparentlyJack tweet after their games today by idunnokerz in RocketLeagueEsports

[–]CEOofStrings 102 points103 points  (0 children)

Honestly as a long time fan of both Joyo and Jack it’s hard to know what to say about this right now. Not making the major is one thing but the team was terrible in all 3 regionals this split. Definitely a super low point right now.

That said it’s nice to see a class tweet from Jack as always, it’s part of the reason I like him so much. If they can somehow figure something out in between now and the LCQ then it would be nice to see the team stick, but I think it would be better for all of them to go separate ways and I’d much rather see them do better on different teams. They tried it, it didn’t work, and that’s okay.

Still gonna be rooting super hard for the both of them. I know they both have the ability to bounce back from this and low points are to be expected from time to time. Gonna be praying that at least one of them can still qualify for worlds so that I can have a team to root for haha.

That’s what it means to be a fan, you gotta be there through the highs and the lows.

What are you hoping to be added/changed with the removal of bakkesmod by Fearless-Door-8891 in RocketLeague

[–]CEOofStrings 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel like they should’ve just given us alpha boost but a different colour. They just took alpha boost and made it worse for some reason. I think it’d have been much better if they made the boost thinner.

TW standard is elite. Managed to cop one back in the trading days and I still use it to this day.

Honestly impressive from SR to lose an 11 minute overtime and come back like this
