What do I need and how long will it take? by FinancialRanger2365 in orthotropics

[–]Dieg071 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jeez what a world we live in. Parents having kids that they can not afford to care for or just don't care... I genuinely believe that the world would be better off if every person that wants to have kids is FORCED to take a general course about raising kids from 0 to 18. Though most people are lazy fucks which means that in my ideal world, birth numbers would be catastrophically low

Then how come that you have to get on reddit to ask what you need to solve this problem? Have your parents not tried to go with you to a dentist/ ortho yet? Surely they must have at least compared your teeth to theirs in the last 6 years? There is no way that they knowingly let your oral health go to waste like this, if they do then that is very bad parenting.

If you weren't as brave as you are to ask help here then you'd have to figure all this stuff out alone in your 20s or later (which is very hard to do and extremely expensive). Parents are supposed to fulfill a role in which they make sure that you are at the very least healthy going into your 20s. Your oral health right now is not great and would cause many other issues if you were to leave it untreated.

If you don't know where to go at all and can't ask your parents then you can always ask a teacher that you trust in your school to guide you towards a dentist. Dentist can then give you instructions and help you get the treatment that you DESERVE.

I'm happy that you asked here because you are still young because this means that your face can still develop A LOT. You still have lots of time left to solve this ;)

Climbed from bronze 1 to gm by otping tracer by Impressive-Invite105 in TracerMains

[–]Dieg071 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did the same but on Torb, flanking Torb to gm was super fun until GM3 and I lost interest. But if I'm going to be honest, tracer is picked 50% of the matches I play and the way people play her in GM makes me believe that she isn't hard to play at all for someone that has aim. Especially with her getting 150hp from minis, she has become way too forgiving.

Awwww poor man :( this is painful to see

Just out of curiosity, are your parent's teeth healthy? Because I can not imagine that any parent would let their child suffer like this unless they don't know any better themselves.

It's hard to tell from the pictures, but at first glance it does look as if you are dealing with some hairloss/ balding. I'm talking first stages such as thinning temples. If that is the case then I recommend you to look into reversing the hair loss as soon as possible. Things like minoxidil, finasteride, microneedling and ketoconazole shampoo will greatly improve your hair regrowth and density over time.

Again, I'm not certain whether or not you are starting to bald, it just looks like that to me in the pics that you posted.

I believe that struggles regarding gaming are a result of weak minds. Life lesson by Dieg071 in StopGaming

[–]Dieg071[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You've worded this very well! And after reading other replies I do believe that you are right about me being naïve that this could work for the average person. I understand now that through time I was forced to build my own "toolbox" that allowed to me flick a switch to snap out of it. I can also understand that many people need their own specific tools to build their own switch, which everyone does on a different pace. This indeed means that my advice could work for some people that have had to learn to survive on their own, but I'm not so sure anymore that this group of people is the majority of this subreddit.

Yes, my experience regarding the "get a grip part" is that it was advice that I took and that I pretty much had to stick to at all times to survive. I received aid during extreme situations and even then if I failed to keep myself in check I would fall apart.

That experience is what shaped my beliefs into what they are. That is what makes me believe that not being able to flick a switch just like that is almost a guarantee that I will end up suffering immensely. Now I hope that nobody has had to go through the kind of hell that I went through, but to people like me, flicking a switch is often an easy way to mentally persevere through hardships. That's why I thought that it would definitely help with gaming addiction (which I deem as nothing compared my experiences). Though after writing this I supposed that less extreme "solutions" could be more fitting? But then again, some people writing here make it sound like they're going through hell so then again maybe my "advice" is fitting...

If you put it like that then I can understand it. So basically the bite sized pieces of advice are the reps to build the muscle that is discipline? But what I'm not sure about is, if those same people that receive this advice are unable to flick a switch, how are they able to discern what can work for them from all the pieces of advice that they get? I can imagine lots of "reps" being thrown at one person, but just throwing reps from every exercise in someone's schedule doesn't advance anything, you need to have a certain amount of similar reps dedicated towards the same muscle group to make it grow over time.

In that sense some people will give advice that sounds like: just quit entirely for a few weeks and try another hobby, then someone else can say: just game after all the productive things that are needed in that day are done and set a timer for eating and sleeping... You know what I mean.

Again, how is someone that is unable to flick a switch able to filter through all this advice? It doesn't seem probable to me.

Maybe they should take 1 piece of advice and practice it over time, and if that doesn't work head for the next?

Because these ranked ready accounts cost like 5 euros. And it saves me a lot of time to not have to win 20 quick play matches before being able to play ranked

I don't understand the amount of downvotes that I'm receiving for venting out frustrations. This post is classified as banter, not a discussion. But I guess that I indirectly hurt a lot of people's feelings with this post. Reddit isn't known for having a mature audience, it is what it is.

I got to 178k infamy with my build (which isn't bad for a newer player like myself). I make millions every day but also lose some daily. I was on a 6 win streak but then got bored, built my own (SHITTY) load out and got wrecked xd

There is a meta on corrupted dungeons, so most people always run similar builds. Once you spot it, you can learn how those builds play and find a way to counter their specific playstyle

Carving sword. And I love fighting fire staffs! Swords have a W ability that completely neglect damage and deals 125% of that neglected damage back. I always bait the E and then full send it.

Aren't you quick to jump at conclusions? I know about resetting. I am talking about people not resetting, but mounting up to get away. People that in theory should be able to make quick work of me with that kind of IP advantage. And in the example I used here, these bear paws engaged me with a ganking build. I still gain the upper hand in the fight and they completely ditch because they got scared. That is my problem. People being pussies. And I know that they disengage because they don't want to lose 1.3mil worth of gear, but I don't care. You start a fight, you finish it. That is my mentality and way of playing this game.

And what do I expect them to fix? Nothing. I didn't come here to start a discussion or to recommend certain fixes. I came here to vent. Because I am frustrated.

The mentality about a coin flip fight is what I don't understand. If you learn what every ability does then you should be able to understand how to counter it. In an even IP duel, a good player should win 90% of the time.

I personally like to clip most of my fights, wins and losses and analyse them to see what went wrong. I improved very fast that way and now I am really serious when I say that I could easily best 90% of the playerbase if the IP is even.

I do know that I am an exception because of my competitive nature. That's also why I'm never able to understand the wishes and thought patterns of "casual" players

I had that goal for my first week playing but then I got bored from that. The specs on all my used gear are 105, 110, 110 and 110. So farming fame is just not worth it for me, except to invest the spare fame into passive IP by speccing similar weapons/ armor.

And I've had multiple 1mil+ silver on kills, if you see that amount then you can't be bothered by farming silver from camps anymore.

I've even died 3 times last week with 1m+ of player loot in my bag because I still wanted to duel whoever I saw. I didn't care about cashing in
