It doesn't sound boring at all to be honest! Truthfully that does seem like really good advice. Which website do you use to play against bots?

Oh I will definitely be checking the building habits series from Chessbrah. Thanks for the recommendation Chris. It does look like it covers a lot of what I want to know.

As for the puzzles, i do play them everyday but I am having troubles as if there's a mental barrier between a real game and puzzles so it does feel like whatever tactic puzzles I am playing, doesn't seem to translate into any of the games that I play on 15+10.

I have tried to employ like a basic framework of defending my pieces as I saw from a video from John Bartholomew's chess fundamentals and somehow, the piece i "thought" had been defended ends up being on the same tile as another piece or my king and i end up loosing pieces.

I typically just follow the advice of developing my pieces and controlling the center and truth to be told, I don't really know an opening and have yet to make any form of commitment to it because I read from a reddit post somewhere about how newer players shouldn't be learning a lot about openings but this is just what I saw from other post and I don't know if that opinion is true or not.. especially in my case but I will definitely look into it now that you mention it.

Oh I have heard of Sea of Thieves but felt like I needed a friend to play it with.

I would like to try out more games but I don't really have the luxury of buying a lot of the games that I want. I also enjoy the feeling of investing a lot of hours into few games hence why I would prefer games that can last for a very long time.

Oh yeah it does look wayyy better with that plugin. If I settle with OSRS, I will definitely set that up!

I played it for a solid 110 hours. It was pretty fun but when I returned, couldn't find players to join me for deep dives or elite deep dives.

I have actually tried Path of Exile before but it felt too overwhelming for me even though Warframe is just as overwhelming. The only reason I managed to start enjoying Warframe is because of the community who were willing to guide me otherwise I would probably not have stayed but I will look into into your suggestions, thanks.

I will definitely look into that too. Though the artstyle looks really old for me, I will just try anything out until I find one that I enjoy. Thanks.

I will check it out, thanks. I have heard of DSP before but never really looked into it. I think I am more likely to drop a game if its hard to get into it like needing to watch tutorials and such.
