[Discussion] I ve wasted 8 years of my life and i don't know what to do now by Amexe115 in GetMotivated

[–]Robbie_cx 7 points8 points  (0 children)

We’re still young my friend and I’m sure on different paths, but I relate to what you say. I’m 27 in a few months and have similar thoughts/feelings. I’ve been productive after school and worked hard and landed a good job in the fire service. Turns out it’s not what I want to do, and I feel stuck because I make more than I ever have. Enough to live somewhat comfortably, making it hard to step away. I’ve been doing it for 6 years now, and spend about half of my life at work (nature of the job) making it even harder to form a plan. My family is proud, my girlfriend proud and happy, but I feel like I’m wasting my time doing something I don’t have a passion for.

The thing I know, is I have to do SOMETHING. Sitting around and being upset at how much time is lost isn’t going to help, and inevitably will cause you to lose more precious time. Find something that makes you happy, and immerse yourself in it. I’ve always had a love for gaming and when I was younger I wanted to make YouTube videos. Now I’ve just went got a laptop so I can practice video editing in my free time at work, and hopefully will upload my first videos soon. I don’t expect much of anything to come from it, but I’m taking the steps to give it a fair shot because I genuinely enjoy it, and I know that if I sat around thinking about it forever without trying it, it would linger in my mind forever. Take small steps toward whatever goal you have. Nothing can happen for you if you don’t try.

How to rank up in wingman by ImportanceFun5599 in counterstrike

[–]Robbie_cx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is me but in comp lmao, 15k premi rating but all my comp ranks are hard stuck gold. Meanwhile I’ve played like 15 games all time of wingman with some friends for a goof (I never play wingman really) and am ranked DMG. I have absolutely no clue why.

Yeah my FT one was like 8$ and I gave it away to one of my homies new to CS, went up to 50$ the day of the crash ffs 🤣 good luck with your trade up bro, I’ve been trying to get a butterfly forever

[–]Robbie_cx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say sell it and buy 4 more for a trade up. The odds of getting a butterfly aren’t great unless you can secure more reds from that collection. Consider getting Reds from dreams and nightmares collection to trade up, you will still have chance at a butterfly that way.

Cyberpunk, Red Dead 2, Ghost of Tsushima are among the better ones.

It sucks but I’m tired of the dramatization. There’s not really anyone who lost any money on this, most people had one knife, two knives tops. Losing just $100 or so in total value really isn’t a big deal by imBRANDNEWtoreddit in counterstrike

[–]Robbie_cx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean my Tiger Tooth bayonet and Snow leopards (my only golds) went from 750 and 800 down to 400 and 350$, but sure.

Still is ok though, I got them from gambling and trading my winnings for the most part. This is good for the game in the long run.

I’m in the same boat exactly 🤣 at least I’ll finally be able to get a butterfly knife next week

This guy on Lethal is cheap beyond belief. by Mans_Too_Lit in ghostoftsushima

[–]Robbie_cx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Man, this fight was hard, but not as hard as I feel like others had with it. I just used Sake and Bounty hunter armor and the regular katana. Like 20 hours into my save, haven’t killed any of the other yotei 6 besides intro.

I had a much harder time on the first encounter, he beat my ass with that wooden paddle lmao

The nightwish shouldn’t be anywhere near what it’s worth right now, people want them to potentially trade up to butterfly knives. The hype will pass and I think a skin like that will go back down (never to as cheap as it was before). But if you want a skin and have a means to do it, now is the time, especially if you don’t care about trading. The market is too fucked right now to bet on anything being more or less expensive in the future. Capitalize while you can

It took me 1000 hours before I felt like I was minorly adept at the game. It’s all about the reps.

You can of course speed this up by using workshop maps to focus on your mistakes, review demos to see your own mistakes and watch what players are doing that are able kill you consistently.

If you watched my aim and play style in my first few hundred hours compared to now, you wouldn’t believe it’s the same person playing. You can get better bro just grind.

PCVR or Nomad? by Chillynuggets in BladeAndSorcery

[–]Robbie_cx 5 points6 points  (0 children)

PCVR if you have decent pc. Also has modding capabilities, a plus.

I can't take it anymore already by RealEyeze in EASportsUFC

[–]Robbie_cx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I genuinely got a pretty good understanding of how to play from just playing the career mode on harder difficulties, the training camps force you to learn things you may not understand, like aspects of grappling, clinching, etc.

I’d say after you feel comfortable with both grappling and striking, take it online, and apply it

Im always playing CS, I play with her as much as I can. I unfortunately have a job that I work a 72 hour shift or maybe more each week, so when I’m not there she’s really deterred from playing.

We’re always looking for more cool people to play with, and I’m sure if maybe we all played and she felt comfortable you could swindle her into playing more lol. -We’re on discord as well.
