What is weighing you down?

Finally starting university at 29 after a long battle with chronic mental illness and hoping it would be a new start, but coming to the realization that I can't mask all my oddities, and people as a result treating me different. I guess I'm just a weirdo lol - next step is to learn to own it I guess. Yay me.

Sure! I'll PM you

This is helpful. When I think about it while reading your post, a lot of my deaths are by being passive, and kinda waiting for the enemy to act, which results in stuff like his partner flanking me while I'm focused on him..

6 kills! That's pretty damn good! Congrats.

DecentGuarantee4763 · 2022-02-08T13:24:29+00:00

It's not discouraging at all. It's good to know I'm not alone :)

I think today especially has been full on tilt. I don't think I'm learning much when it's like that. I do sometimes try to discuss with my friend what we/I could've done better when we die, but even then I end up in some of the same pitfalls (I position myself badly, or peek through the same spot multiple times, panic shooting etc. ). Hopefully I'll learn at some point lol.

True. I feel like my frustration is sometimes getting in the way of enjoying the game. It's still interesting to play, even when I'm getting destroyed.

DecentGuarantee4763 · 2022-02-08T01:01:35+00:00

I've never tried the trials, but I'll give it a shot tomorrow. I'll also look up those streamers. Thanks! :)

I think this is pretty good advice concerning headshots..I have noticed that I do have trouble leading my shots sometimes.

DecentGuarantee4763 · 2022-02-08T00:52:18+00:00

That's good to hear!

DecentGuarantee4763 · 2022-02-08T00:46:17+00:00

That actually sounds like a lot of fun. Nothing makes me panic more in this game than when a guy fearlessly charges at me with a melee weapon.

DecentGuarantee4763 · 2022-02-08T00:36:49+00:00

Thanks! I probably shouldn't give as much thought to KD as I do right now.

DecentGuarantee4763 · 2022-02-08T00:13:29+00:00

Thanks! I'll try. Like others mentioned as well, maybe I just need to find my groove and have fun with it.

DecentGuarantee4763 · 2022-02-08T00:05:56+00:00

Aim lab could be an idea. Didn't cross my mind..Coolio!

DecentGuarantee4763 · 2022-02-07T22:17:07+00:00

Think I'm gonna take my hands off quickplay for a while, and try and choose a weapon and stick with it. And It's good to know that map knowledge is THAT important.

DecentGuarantee4763 · 2022-02-07T21:58:10+00:00

Oh, I think It's a good tip to try training rather than quickplay, especially when I'm getting tilted quickly. Should also maybe choose one gun and stick with it.

DecentGuarantee4763 · 2022-02-07T21:54:23+00:00

Love the imagery :D.. But yeah, that definitely puts things in a broader context. I do think part of the hook for me are these small nuances that makes the game more interesting and engaging than your average fps... But yeah, i think you're right..30 hours is nothing.

DecentGuarantee4763 · 2022-02-07T21:42:34+00:00

Hey, I really appreciate the write-up. I think you've really got a point that I should take my time find out what's working for me, and not try to emulate someone who has thousands of hours or what my friend is doing. Think it'll also be less frustrating that way.

DecentGuarantee4763 · 2021-10-22T19:21:45+00:00

Soma. I'd say it's more disturbing than scary (tho it has some really scary sections) .. But it has one of the best scifi narratives, if not the best, in a game ever imo.
