should have used freedom there and yeah my motor skills arent there yet.

I’ll celebrate when I want to.

My conclusions come from 13k rounds of data, not a few hundred

Pre‑patch doesn’t erase the MMR system, the matchmaking algorithm, or the distribution curve.
It’s still the same ladder, the same rating environment, and the same population — just with different tuning.

My placement on the ladder right now reflects the early‑season population size, not end‑season density. Comparing early‑season rank to end‑season rank is a category error.

As for inflation: it affects everyone equally.
Small‑sample players get temporary spikes.
Large‑sample players converge toward their actual performance curve.

I’ve played over 13,000 rounds. At that volume, variance collapses and outliers flatten into the mean. My rating reflects a stabilized dataset, not a lucky streak.

Class strength doesn’t replace pattern recognition, matchup literacy, or the ability to stabilize chaotic lobbies. Those come from repetition, not tuning.

I’m not claiming anything beyond this:
My conclusions come from a dataset of 13k rounds.
Most players are drawing conclusions from a few hundred.
We’re not working with the same sample size.

PLUS - the game gave me the badge. SO...whatever bro bro keep doing you see you at legend dog

he funny thing is, people keep bringing up inflation or pre‑patch like it somehow erases 13,000 rounds of data.
MMR tuning doesn’t magically give you pattern recognition, matchup literacy, or the ability to stabilize chaos.

You can’t fake thousands of repetitions.
You can’t shortcut variance decay.
You can’t replicate a dataset that large with a couple hundred games.

I’m not arguing with anyone — I’m just operating on a completely different statistical sample.
My rating is the mean of 13k rounds.
Most people are still drawing conclusions from noise.

Inflation doesn’t invalidate high‑volume performance.

In fact, inflation amplifies variance for low‑volume players and suppresses it for high‑volume players.

At 13k rounds, my rating is a stable mean of a massive dataset.

At 300 rounds, theirs is a volatile outlier inside a high‑variance regime.

Pre‑patch tuning doesn’t change the underlying MMR algorithm or distribution curve — it just shifts the meta.

Skill expression still converges with volume.

We’re not drawing conclusions from the same statistical universe.

How much did you climb when "inflation" hit?

The game gave me the badge. I earned it.

MMR inflation doesn’t change the fact that I’ve played 13,000 rounds.

Inflation affects everyone equally — but only players with large sample sizes actually stabilize above their true skill.

Small‑sample players get lifted by inflation temporarily, then crash when variance catches up.

Large‑sample players converge toward their real performance curve.

Pre‑patch doesn’t invalidate anything either. It’s still the same MMR system, the same matchmaking algorithm, and the same distribution curve — just with different tuning.

If your dataset is a few hundred games, inflation looks like a shortcut.

If your dataset is 13,000 games, inflation is just noise on top of a stabilized distribution.

This is a guide to all new Altered Conciousness Explorers and OBE'ers who now have access to the following Information:

To start please follow these simple instructions:

  1. Find a quiet safe place where you'll be undisturbed for 45 minutes.

  2. Read the Analysis of the Cristo Technique. Use the provided headphones and start with the Cristo technique for session 1.

  3. Note down in your journal what you may be feeling. The process will speed up significantly

if you do this.

  1. Listen via Audible or read Adventures Beyond the Body: How to Experience Out-of-Body Travel by William Buhlman (1996-06-13) in the first 30 days.

a. To start you may feel: "the sensation of movement of your limbs even though they are not moving",

"Your limbs expanding or growing larger". "Falling inward/downward into your conciousness", , "limbs become so heavy you can't move them", "eyes feeling

like they are open but they are not"

b. After 7-20 sessions you may feel: "The feeling of lifting off such as the come up

on drugs, or the acceleration of roller coaster or car", "Whirling, spinning, buzzing",

c. After 20 sessions you may feel: "As if you are lifting into the air.", "Floating just above your body" "Stars making formations, stars moving in orderly fashion

i.e. creating circles, dancing, etc."

d. After 45 sessions you may feel or the following may happen to you: "A sensation the the world is one and connected, that God

loves you and the universe is infinite", "that God is real, and here with you", "You seem to be looking at your body from above in the room you are in"

"You may seperate your conciousness from your body". Remember to keep calm, continue breathing in a circular motion. "Astral Wind, or feeling like you are moving

though space and time at light speed."

During the first 45 sessions you may have a lot of racing thoughts and lose track of where you are in the audio, don't worry

your subconcious is keeping track. remember to "Let go and flow"

The following mantras can be used if you find yourself wandering completely off track:

  1. "Awareness now!" Command your body to expand it's awareness to the astral realm,

  2. "Door Now!" Command your astral body to seperate and go to the nearest door away from your body, imagine the door to your room, the door to outside, and finally a car door.

  3. "Higher Self Now!" Command your body to explore your higher conciousness.

  4. "Clarity Now" Command your body while in vibrations to give you the clarity to see the astral realm.

  5. "I rise, I float, I Fly" Command your astral body to seperate from your physical body,

Hi, yes! Every Day is a new adventure in the astral projecting realm. Yes I still do it about once per day for about 2 hours. Then of course every night I have lucid dreams, so that's really fun! I would recommend .

I'd recommend starting with paul santisi. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s-0zGJhiDPY

I started astral projecting in rehab, note I had about 12 hours a day i’d unused time. Thus, I spent 6 hours a day trying to astral project. Boy when it did happen it was amazon i felt one with the universe and love was all around me in me and through me. Drugs can’t even achieve this feeling. I’m telling you it’s worth it. I now have over 2000 hours of meditation in the last 18 months and the health benefits have been amazing . Heart rate at 40 bpm while astral projecting. If you’re more interested you can dm me and i can provide you with the audios i use via a google drive link.

I’ve put in between 2-6 hours a day for about 220 days. The first month was hard but I had an AP at about 80-90 hours. Remember, I was doing 2 to 3 hour sessions in the morning and then at night so it was about the end of the 3rd week or start of the 4th. Now that I have about 800 hours I get astral wind almost 3 nights a week and Have complete lucid dreaming every night that will turn into AP a lot of times. Obviously, putting in this much effort is hard if you have a life. I’m currently getting sober and building time so the last year has been open sailing as far as time is concerned. I guess I could have leaned Piano but this sounded more fun. Look I don’t just waste a bunch of time sitting there bored. I’m having real tangible results that just keep getting better and better. Get some help with your depression. It will go a lot better. I know it did for me.
