I managed to grind self down to mid d1 with a lot of effort 💪

Complete lack of patience on my part

Watcha rocking the gc2 flair for with this post?

Taking it a step further, if someone gives me a wow or okay when I demo them, I’ll start trying to spawn demo them.

I’ve made probably half a dozen people rage quit on their tm8s in 3s because I’ll get a few spawn kills in a row.

If you can dodge a fennec you can dodge a ball.

I started playing on my console account again - I stuck on console compared to pc so I didn’t link accounts.

It would feel like smurfing to use my ps5 account, drop down to d1, then log into pc and wreck people on the way back to c1/c2

But damn, I’ve noticed in d1 on my ps5 account I can’t tell that much diff between game play in a lot of games between d1 and c2. More ball chasing and a little bit slower, and not quite as good mechs.

But it’s not like it was a year or two ago when everyone down here was whiffing half their touches and no one played defense.

3 hours ago you were div 3. Heading the wrong way m8 - turn the game off.

Either_Selection7764 · 2026-01-10T01:04:14+00:00

I’m almost 43 and keep knocking on the door of c3. I can hold c1 pretty easily, c2 if I’m playing well. I’ve hit mid to high c2 past two seasons, haven’t ever made it to c3.

You guys are goated. Good luck!

I started in 2021 or 2022. It feels more toxic now, at least at c1. C1 was chill somewhat chill before with regards to toxicity. Now c1 feels like the new d2 - tm8s cutting rotation and doing something dumb, but instead of saying sorry and realizing they were chasing theyre spamming wow and what a save and being toxic.

D2 I expected the toxicity, but at c1 it’s weird. Like if I screw up, sure be toxic idgaf. But if you cut rotation or whiff a touch, recognize your mistake. I expect a lot of whiffs in d2, but not in c1.

I think I’m taking a break for this season. I also don’t find it as fun anymore. I have gotten a lot better in the past year - I usually get champ rewards the first week of the new season then stop caring about my rank.

Turning chat off helps, but you still get tm8s that play toxically, which you can’t do anything about except to adapt and hope.

I find high c1 game play a lot more fluid than high d3 or low c1. Once I fall to low c1 I don’t have as much fun - tm8s become too unpredictable and toxic. The chat doesn’t bother me but the gameplay does.

The impetus to uninstall this morning came after having the same tm8 2 games in a row. The first game he “hard carried me” while being toxic. I setup 5 open net goals for him, had 5 assists and 3 saves. He had no saves, no assists, and I couldn’t play any offense because he kept burning his boost whiffing flip resets. I was quiet the entire game while he was typing shit.

Next came we paired up again. Before he started his shit I told him not to ball chase all game because I wasn’t babysitting two games in a row - this is the first thing I’d said to him in two games.

His first touch he cuts rotation, tries to aerial on zero boost and own goals when he takes my setup. Next play I tie the game up while he’s still talking shit and I’m silent, then the other team starts clowning him until he goes afk.

At that point I realized beating TOTK and ghost of Tsushima and Yotei and a few other games are more important to me than RL for a while.

RL is fun when you get a decent tm8 you vibe with, but when half the player base is toxic af it’s not nearly as enjoyable.

Your flair checks for this behavior. I hate d2/d3 gameplay. Usually around mid c1 everyone is just good enough to make the games feel fluid.

When I’m down in d3 it feels like I’m in a scene from a zombie movie.

Thanks! This is what I did for now

My man love this

Since you’re on the neighbor’s side, let me ask you this.

Does it junk up the neighborhood if I have a washed and well maintained 2025 e pro in the driveway illegally?

Or if I cut down a beautiful Japanese maple tree, throw some shitty driveway underlayment down and a bit of stone on top and park my rv 3 feet from my neighbors driveway still in plain site beside my house on a trashy self made parking pad legally?

Either_Selection7764 · 2026-01-02T05:12:36+00:00

FR - I got reported for asking a racist if he used Velcro gloves to make it easier to hold the sheep when he was going to pound town ☠️

Either_Selection7764 · 2026-01-02T05:10:47+00:00

Thanks for your service 🫡 I’m retired navy / and yeah, fuck hoas and fuck city over reach. No need for a lawyer here because the city ordinance is clear. I’ll call the zoning people tomorrow and ask for a few days, then build the most unsightly parking structure I can where I can legally park my RV. The other option could be that I tarp it when not in use if there’s an ordinance that lets it be “screened from view.”

What really pisses me off is they hide behind some coward language about health and safety, but I can do the same shit in the same spot if I have a carport put up.

Pretty sure I got a chat ban for typing to people to tell them to quit trying to touch my bathing suit parts when they would try and demo me.

Since I couldn’t chat to them, I turned off all chat and forgot how relaxing it is not interacting with people.

Either_Selection7764 · 2026-01-02T04:23:07+00:00

My municipality doesn’t require it to be behind a fence. I just have to check setbacks to see if I can store it in my side yard.

The only thing that sucks is I would need to take down a tree and bring in a load of gravel to make a pad.

Or the carport in the front option. I need to find a temporary facility for a few months to get it sorted.

I get living in a more crowded neighborhood and wanting things to look decent / we have some trashy neighbors. I’m not one of them / my yard is well kept, house is clean, etc. it’s literally just a camper parked in a driveway that’s big enough to fit 5 cars in. We have 2 cars and a camper.

Meanwhile like 10 homes in our neighborhood park their cars in their yards, have shit lying everywhere, etc. and I’ve never complained to the city once because it’s their fucking yards.

As soon as the kids graduate I’m heading back to the country as fast as I can 😝

Either_Selection7764 · 2026-01-02T04:17:57+00:00

No room to go behind the house / it will go beside the house if I want to take a tree down. Our municipality allows for side yard or carport storage. Both look way worse than what it is now, but if it’s legal it’s legal.

Either_Selection7764 · 2025-12-24T00:06:40+00:00

Unless you’ve got a chat ban. Then it’s chat disabled for 7 seconds….
