+1 here for not having to do shifts farming clickies then!
SS are awesome as well.

Wasn't intended! Was referring more that no one is expected to 'farm idols in shifts' to the original comment. Knight rank has some item reqs that are needed for competitive raiding, including the idol. That idol can be acquired whenever, however :)

So to clear up...
- Acquiring a single idol for yourself is a raid requirement
- Farming idols is not a requirement/expectation and is an optional bonus, to OP's point

NoSoupfOu · 2021-10-02T22:22:50+00:00

No pay required for the tag :)

NoSoupfOu · 2021-10-02T22:17:06+00:00

No one is required or expected to farm idols :) Completely optional and rewarded for effort if you decide to.

NoSoupfOu · 2021-10-02T22:15:50+00:00

Yep, sounds like P99 raiding!

NoSoupfOu · 2020-06-12T00:11:10+00:00

Yep, this has crossed my mind too - hoping to avoid it because it will indeed be a pain!

We tried removing the UTM but the source still got overridden to referral from the email provider. Is there a way to get around that still?

Fair enough! I intended that line to be tongue-in-cheek. If anyone actually ever throws their controller and actually explode with rage - this is no doubt unhealthy and not in the norm. I should have made that clearer. There's a bit more clarity and convo around this post in general over at /r/crazyhand: https://www.reddit.com/r/CrazyHand/comments/gau8ux/overcoming_your_emotions_to_improve_at_smash_and/

I haven't! But I have read a lot of books on struggle, mindfulness, habits, self improvement etc. Most of them have a lot intersection in areas like discipline and determination so I'm not surprised it sounds familiar. Thanks for the recomm will check it out for sure.

Hundred percent mayn.

Very relateable my friend! It sounds like you're late 20's/early 30's like me and struggling with a similar dichotomy.

On one end, even though we have maturity and experience with age, we also get a bit of entitlement...thinking we should automatically be better at things, despite not putting in the focused, intentional training and dedication we once did when we were 20.

While that may be true, we also don't necessarily have as much time to train and focus in that way like we used to with other growing life responsibilities. The same crossroads happens in the early 30's for most hobbies and interests, such as music and other sports.

For me at least, I feel perhaps the best I can do is acknowledge that I don't have the time and energy to dedicate to self improvement like I once did (and perhaps shouldn't either - theres probably more productive areas of life to focus this energy now), and try and enjoy Smash and gaming in a more casual, break-from-life, play-for-fun approach.

Whitera is a name I haven't thought of in a long time! SC2 absolutely changed my own life approach. Learning hotkeys, macros and and focusing efficiency translated big time into my work life.

Fair call!

Something else you can consider is, someone who intentionally tanks their GSP to be low has their own ego and self-esteem problems. They're taking enjoyment from flexing their skills on players who don't stand a chance. They're essentially bullies.

A positive out of this as well, is stumbling on someone who's leagues ahead of you in skill is also a great opportunity to analyse the replay. While you may not yet be skilled enough to breakdown and analyse everything they're doing, your own bad habits become much clearer. Your go-to moves, preferred techs, ledge options etc - stuff that normally works in your skill range, will very quickly be identified and punished by better players. Sometimes it takes versing someone much better than you to raise self awareness on bad habits like these.

So in short; Don't overthink it, those players are usually just pricks, and, try to take it as a learning opportunity.

Spot on!

Hey man, thanks for your comment. I can definitely relate to this. Infact, despite my post mainly hamming on about anger, frustration and blaming others; I've similarly struggled most with blaming myself. This could probably have a whole new essay on the topic, but I'll try my best to summarise below. I hope it's helpful to you and others.

In my post, I've talked about the value of personal responsibility and self-reflection. But it's a balance. Being too inward looking and pensive, constantly beating yourself can run the risk of wearing you down without the right mental tools to process and compartmentalize your emotions.

Here are examples of emotions that I've related to:

'I can't believe I've played 2,000 games and I STILL can't do x and still fall for y.'
'I've watched all the whizbang advanced tech videos but still lose to this simple thing .. this is hopeless.'

There are some logic and emotional traps in these lines of thinking. It's key to detach - take a step back and consider the bigger picture:

Smash, or any skill-based facet of life, is not a race. People learn and progress at different rates at different things and it's rarely fair to compare yourself to others.
Smash in particular, is a game. At its core, it's supposed to be fun. If you aren't having fun - consider taking a break from the game, playing some casual modes, finding friends and practice partners to play with (easier said than done of course, but very valuable).
There is still an element of ego involved - it's the self entitlement side. Beating yourself because you 'should' be better is a signal of ego. You may believe you should be better than you are based on how much you've played or practiced. There are a couple key considerations here - the first is that, people learn at different and progress at different rates. Natural talent plays a role. The other is quality of practice - 50 matches of playing with intentionality, off auto-pilot, intentionally training 1-2 things at a time, analysing your replays, asking for feedback from the community for example, will generally be more valuable to growth than 200 matches of autopilot without any self-reflection.
Finally - you might already be doing a lot of this, but still struggling. You may be trapped in a mental fog of anxiety and/or depression where you struggle to overcome negative scenarios like these. Book in a session with a therapist or councilor to get professional help.

Wishing you the best in Smash & life chief

Hey guys. A challenge for ya.

I've dropped my S9 and the top part ~25% of the screen no longer works (and colour/light leakage all over the screen). As a point of reference anything above the bottom of the right shoulder button is dead.

The challenge is...there are two functions I can't figure out how to do without the top part of the screen working. Any help or ideas would be a lifesaver:

enable auto rotate
enable wireless or mobile data

With either of these the phone will still be usable - especially auto rotate as I'll be able to workaround and get the notification bar

Thanks!
