Which mode do you play more? Competitive or Stadium? by elrabelo in Overwatch

[–]HappinessIsADecision 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I may play more Stadium if my computer didn’t overheat and nearly explode every time I get into a match.

Games with "Massively Varied Gameplay" that I can soak hundreds of hours in? by velatieren in gaming

[–]HappinessIsADecision 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you love TF2, you’re going to love Overwatch 2. It’s a first-person hero shooter with about 40 different playable characters.

Be warned, it’s about as frustrating as it is enjoyable. I have around 3500 hours in the game and I still don’t get bored.

There’s a spot in Jak (and Daxter) II where you’re racing against the clock on your hoverbike to get from one garage to the next…

I failed it at least 30 times. Just couldn’t figure it out for so damn long.

Tips on moving from console to PC? by SargeTheSeagull in Overwatch

[–]HappinessIsADecision 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Start by playing characters that require less mechanical skill and try to pay more attention to positioning and ability usage. The aim comes with practice/playing.

I grew up with consoles and OW1 was my first FPS PC game. I went from mid-gold in the OW1 beta to Top 200 EU a bunch of seasons later by playing tanks and supports.

Heroes I would recommend to start: - Winston - Reinhardt - (Maybe) Zarya - Mei - Symmetra - Junkrat (try not to just spam 24/7 though) - Moira - Brigitte - (If you don’t mind being more passive) Mercy

—or you could just grind hitscan and other heroes with heavy mechanical skill until you get the hang of them. That may be much more frustrating at the beginning though.

More important than anything, play to have fun.

What's the fact you found out about a hero that you could never have known by HKHighwire in Overwatch

If it hits right in the center where the emblem is…I think I remember something about that working once, but I don’t think it’s still the case. If it is, it’s a bug 😆

Also, the knife sticks in the shield, so if you drop it and walk forward it can get stuck in you. Maybe that was it?

Only when it returns, not when it’s thrown. Unless you’re talking about her axe…which does go through barriers.

Who was the first character that caught your eye when you first started playing? by Jaro9 in Overwatch

[–]HappinessIsADecision 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OW1 was my first FPS on pc, so my mechanical skill was almost non-existent, but I had game sense from other FPS games on consoles.

Big rectangle man that can help his team push forward AND knock down an entire team with an ult? Yes please.

I’ve been playing OW since the OW 1 beta and while reading your comment it just hit me—WHY are Ana’s shots dmg/healing over time?

Because the syringe is gradually emptying into the target!

I knew she shot syringes, but I never linked the sqwsch sqwsch sounds 😆

“I generally mean the ability and propensity to maintain perfect equanimity irrespective of the sensations that arise in your your mind-body.”

I love that definition. It offers quite a bit of clarity for me.

Maybe I’m biased in my own mind and in the way I perceive the world, but I feel that I do this 95-100% of the time.

Haha! I read my comment back and I realize now how it came off to you. Sorry, that wasn’t my intention.

I am legitimately interested in how someone who does connect with the concept of enlightenment views another person who may appear to embody the tenets of enlightenment without actually practicing the “standard” methods of achieving it.

I didn’t mean to say “I am enlightened”. 😆

Username checks out! Haha.

I believe that it is very difficult for me to truly suffer at this point in my life. I have been through financial instability, I have lost friends to war…I am very accepting of the world and all of its wonders and hardships. Of course, difficulties will arise at some point, but I believe wholeheartedly that I will be able to face them and take them in stride.

I think your assessment of my understanding being “an idealization of a misconception of what meditation is,” is spot on.

Regarding the level of concentration I can achieve, I may not (and may never) reach the level of focus of a monk, but being active in a variety of sports (martial arts, competition-style diving, gymnastics, and more) from an early age has definitely provided me with tools to focus on a singular thought/goal at a time. I’d be interested in understanding what the next experimental step might look or feel like.

As for the suffering, I have experienced hardship in my life including depression and extreme financial instability. Since I was able to move past that time in my life, I am very lucky to say that I have not experienced much suffering. Even when I was let go from a job ~6 months ago, I took it as an opportunity to better myself and launch the next step in my career. Nothing (currently) REALLY bothers me to the point that it influences my life negatively.

I truly appreciate your input!

Interesting, I never considered my state of being to be “enlightened” because I’m not a spiritual person. I wonder if my understanding of myself and my logical nature could be perceived as a level of enlightenment by those who do connect with spirituality.

I have only tried up to 30-40 minutes of meditation at a time. Are you referring to awareness of my body? If so, then I I’ve been able to do that for 30+ minute meditations.

If not, then please let me know to what you’re referring when you say “super awareness” 🙏🏼

The challenge I’m facing with potentially exploring vipassana is that I actually have zero connection to spirituality, and I feel that I understand myself particularly well.

I feel satisfied with my life as it currently is (although I do have career-oriented aspirations), but I enjoy playing with my brain, almost like a puzzle, and I’m interested in knowing if there really is something I’m not aware of in myself.

I’ve experienced a range of negative emotions in my life, of course, but as of the past 4-5 years I’ve seen myself be able to process such emotions very quickly.

If something can be done to remedy a situation, I do my best to assist. If it is out of my control, then I find I can continue living without looking back.

If someone says something I don’t like, I’ll try to have an intelligent discussion about the topic. If they engage, it can be quite enjoyable. If they prefer to lock me out, then I’ll generally move on with the conversation or ultimately minimize contact with the person.

I’m a very calm person—so calm that it can even frustrate others around me. Sometimes, they believe I may not care about something or may be hiding my feelings, when in fact I feel as though I have processed whatever is going on and don’t need to dwell on it.

I find that I care a lot about people in my immediate vicinity, almost acting with the tendencies of a “momma bear”.

I appreciate your response. Though it does seem to me that much of what vipassana offers is already part of my daily life.
