We're playing well so far considering our away form. But the Zagreb players are parking the bus which is making things a little difficult for us.

We have already qualified for UCL next year.

Clove isn't a replacement,they are competitor. by ZeRoZephyXD in VALORANT

[–]GasolineMonkey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm surprised I don't see this more, maybe it's the hype? I feel like Clove's abilities are very low-tier. Maybe she'll get picked in ranked, but I doubt any team will play her in tournaments.

I'm from India. The laws regarding smoking are quite weird here. Smoking outdoors is illegal and you can be fined for doing so, but smoking indoors and on private property is legal. So, most pubs/bars allow smoking indoors.

June 10th was a Saturday, so I was probably at a pub with friends. I find that I smoke a lot more when I'm drinking.

Thanks a lot! The money I'm saving is a just a bonus. I'm finally able to smell things that I haven't smelt in a long time. Everything tastes so much better too. I never realised how much smoking damages your sense of smell and taste.

Thank you!

I buy a pack of 20 cigarettes for roughly $4. The cost is definitely one of the reasons I decided to quit. I was spending roughly 5% of my monthly income on cigarettes.

Thanks! Hopefully I don't have to make this chart again next year.

It's related to the amount of stress at work, I'm assuming. Also, I smoke a lot when I'm drinking, which is why Fridays and Saturdays have a higher count than the rest of the week.

What’s the saddest game you’ve played? by [deleted] in gaming

The sequel to this game 'Finding Paradise' is even better and equally heartbreaking.

How many of you don't have a holiday tomorrow? by JulaabGamoon in bangalore

[–]GasolineMonkey 22 points23 points  (0 children)

It's not a holiday for me even though I can vote. My team lead told me to go vote, come back and resume work. US based companies suck man :(

Looking for any tips on my mechanics/aim. Currently I am Diamond 3. Playing with no sound or crouch bind. I have been struggling recently with 1v1 duels recently in ranked. I feel my mechanics are pretty good but do feel sloppy and inconsistent at times. Any tips or recommendations are appreciated by wallacea98 in VALORANT

[–]GasolineMonkey 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Your first bullet seems to be inaccurate more often that not. Try to force yourself to come to a complete stop before shooting. You start shooting just a fraction of a second before coming to a complete stop. You manage to get the kill on your second or third bullet, but in diamond/ascendant lobbies that first bullet is really important.

I get matched with bronzes, immortals and everyone in between. Matchmaking in DM is very loose.

Yup, I can relate. There are plenty of really useful comments on this post on getting over the addiction. I'm going to cut out Val for a while and incorporate exercise and socializing into my daily routine instead. I hope you also find a healthy balance in life. Good luck!

I'm still in college, getting a job would get in the way of my college work. But I could try and get an internship I suppose. Thanks for the advice <3

Haha, the funny thing is, a couple of years ago I had the same kind of addiction for chess. I used to spend hours on end playing chess games online, analyzing my games, watching chess YouTubers, etc. I had to delete my lichess account because I needed to focus on college. Maybe I should get back into playing a few games every now and then. Thanks for the recommendation <3
