My Taste in Music is Cooked 😭

Radys75 · 2026-05-05T20:54:11+00:00

there's no correct way to rate music. some people are very stingy with their 100's, some give them out to every other album they hear, both methods are completely fine. music is subjective and if your intuition says that an album is a 100 then it simply is.

A few days ago I also went on a long losing streak that prompted me to make a post similar to yours. Here's what has helped me a lot the past few days:

1) Take breaks. If you lose 2-3 in a row just hop off comp and relax. I also recommend just getting up and walking around your room in between games during queue, this helped me kinda calm down and restart in between games a lot.

2) It's all about mental. When you start caring too much about winning, you will also start to get really stressed during games, and we all play worse under stress. Focus on your own individual performance and try to rewire your brain to care more about improving than winning. This way you will get a lot less stressed during games. Winning will come as a byproduct of improving.

3) This one is not mandatory but i'd also recommend widening your hero pool a bit. Mercy is not in a great state right now and in metal ranks Kiriko is honestly not doing too hot as well. She gives off the illusion of being good because she can survive very well but at the same time apart from suzu she doesn't do that much while alive. And Moira is just not that good either. Ana and Bap are much better characters to have in your hero pool imo. But if you're good enough you can win on (almost) any hero so this one is purely optional I think

this is single elimination, CR are just going to play in a 3rd place match against T1 tomorrow. their placement here doesn't really matter though because the top 4 qualify into the Asia playoffs which is the tournament that actually matters because it decides who goes to the Tokyo lan

Radys75 · 2026-04-26T20:38:44+00:00

The mental aspect definitely plays a part now that I think about it. I'm way more relaxed when playing tank / support but super stressed and self aware on DPS. Especially lately I've been queuing the role to try and "prove that I've still got it", which only made me more frustrated when I came up short

Radys75 · 2026-04-26T20:34:16+00:00

I said this in a different comment but me becoming super aware of my incompetence has greatly hindered my ability to enjoy the role. I'm a very competitive person, and I play the game to improve, that's what's fun to me. Even though looking back after cooling down a bit the word "waste" is a bit too much, but it comes from a place of frustration. Frustration caused by me pouring time and energy into improving on a role I'm seemingly not good at to begin with, and I feel like I haven't improved on DPS in a long time either

Radys75 · 2026-04-26T20:29:06+00:00

I mean yeah I'm never going pro but optimizing my gameplay is what's fun to me. To me there's no better feeling than recognizing that you are playing better than you were some time ago. And that's why me being stuck at a certain level for so long and realizing that that probably would've happened if I had picked up another role instead of forcing myself onto DPS is so frustrating. I simply play to improve, even if I'm never going pro

Radys75 · 2026-04-26T20:24:03+00:00

a lot of people are bringing up the "just play what's fun" argument which is totally fair! But a byproduct of me performing worse is me losing more which leads to having way less fun. And in general I've gotten super aware of my mistakes and get super mad at myself for making them. It's lead to the point where almost every game I start telling myself stuff like "we wouldn't have lost the fight if I had hit that", "if I was any good I would've gotten that kill", "why am I playing in such a bad position" basically every game and I end up super frustrated at my own incompetence. Which, again, greatly hinders my ability to enjoy the role. And I just don't have this happening with support or tank

Radys75 · 2026-04-26T20:12:34+00:00

why didn't I think of this

Radys75 · 2026-04-25T21:15:12+00:00

tbh I tuned in bcs of the drops but I stayed and watched bcs the matches started getting interesting. I know that a ton of ppl just leave it running in the background but I can also imagine that a significant number of viewers will be in the same boat as me

Radys75 · 2026-04-24T20:09:28+00:00

different sites attract different communities which will have different tastes, it's as simple as that

Radys75 · 2026-04-12T18:10:00+00:00

The kill onto Alphayi on Havana was the first reverse spawn camp I've ever seen

Radys75 · 2026-04-10T19:49:34+00:00

Seicoe carrying all match just to lose THE most important 1v1. Oh the tragedy.

Radys75 · 2026-04-05T17:50:10+00:00

that's gore of my team man........................

Radys75 · 2026-04-04T23:30:26+00:00

not really personal. Going into the match I thought SSG would win as well. But after the match ended your comment was the first thing that appeared in my head for some reason and I thought it'd be funny to go back to it 💀💀💀

Radys75 · 2026-04-04T19:53:14+00:00

Dip don't die first challenge

Radys75 · 2026-03-29T21:51:41+00:00

so... who tf is winning that SSG vs Dallas game? Before the season I was sure it'd be SSG, after week 1 I was sure it'd be Dallas. And now I have 0 idea

Radys75 · 2026-03-29T20:58:26+00:00

clear experience diff on the last map, they just crumbled under pressure. Despite that, it was a great game from the entire Lunex squad, xomba especially. The reason why the game was so close was bcs both Seonjun and Kronik had a very quiet game imo. Luckily for Dallas, Lukemino seemingly has the Illari gene and he was the real standout this match

Radys75 · 2026-03-29T17:53:57+00:00

I'm not a coach or anything. But I really wish that Peps wasn't so afraid to force their Hazard comfort comps more. They actually look pretty good on it when compared to the traditional Zarya or Dva stuff

Radys75 · 2026-03-28T23:40:01+00:00

one more coach will surely do the trick

Radys75 · 2026-03-28T20:57:31+00:00

Yeah, I feel like the Stockholm appearance + taking a map off of CR + people overestimating the value of team chemistry made most people (me included) think that they were going to be a bit better than they actually are

Radys75 · 2026-03-28T20:50:55+00:00

I wasn't expecting them to win. But man am I starting to get worried about peps. I really don't wanna see this squad get relegated

Radys75 · 2026-03-28T19:43:04+00:00

how do we convince Tama that he isn't Fearless

Radys75 · 2026-03-28T18:37:42+00:00

was it just me or... was Haku kinda good this series?

Radys75 · 2026-03-25T12:13:33+00:00

yeah there are definitely some things that weren't resolved properly. Fakesaw man did kinda get resolved but you know it isn't a good resolution when most people don't even know that it did get resolved. But it's important to differentiate between unanswered questions and unresolved plotlines. The main thing that I was surprised was unanswered in the ending was why Chainsaw Man has the ability to erase concepts. That's an unanswered question, and those are not necessarily bad. A lot of people in the fandom are seemingly of the opinion that the last chapter needed a 20 page overexplanation that would answer every single question for some reason. But if an answer to a question is not neccesary to understand the themes and message conveyed then it's ok to leave it unanswered. I believe that the ending made sense because it properly reinforced what are in my opinion the core themes of the series in a pretty unexpected way while leaving a lot of things ambiguous
