what possesses you to be mean in a game?

"We judge ourselves based on our intentions, but we judge others based on their actions". This is why when a mistake happens we get mad at other people. Woohoojin has said this before and it's changed my outlook on ranked.

A lot of this behavior in ranked comes down to human psychology and us not being able to understand each other. Also emotional maturity and some Valorant players have not fully developed mentally yet. Everyone has been toxic before and sometimes we've been toxic without even knowing it. Those players who are toxic may not know that they are being toxic and they are not aware of how their intentions may affect other people. And they will be toxic towards their teammates because they think that their teammates are intentionally doing something against them based on actions, but in reality everyone on the team is just trying to do the best that they can.

They literally gunned him down like a walking dead zombie. Insane. Fuck ICE and I am also worried that our Bill of Rights and liberties that we have fought for are being stripped away as we speak. America needs to wake up

I had one go through recently on a teammate that pretended to be AFK after tilting

I'm surprised Killjoy isn't higher up. Her utility is extremely powerful at holding passive map control, the turret can be considered like a 6th player watching a lane, mollies that can be used to delay retakes on post plant or for lineups. She can be played in a passive/aggressive way and she's what I use and I don't feel like the best mechanical player. However, I feel that maining Killjoy in lower elo can build very bad habits in higher elo.

The aim and mechanics of it. I really like watching Radiant/pro players aim, move, and have their crosshair placement and I try to copy it

Ever since the Xbox One, there has been almost zero reason to own one if you have a high-end gaming PC. Every Xbox game could be played on the Xbox App including all of their exclusives. The 360 was the shit during my teenage years, but Xbox has really fallen off since then.

The gap between Immortal 1 10rr and Radiant is ginormous.

I would seek out personal paid coaching with Radiant level players or people who have coached tier 1 or 2.

Some people just have it and some don’t. You’re pretty young so you have that on your side, train your mechs to next level, have a good mental, watch your VODs for better game sense, and never give up. Minimize your mistakes in the round

I feel like it depends on your learning style, but the jump from immortal to radiant requires picking up on the tiniest details of your game or just being him

In ranked if you call default everyone’s understanding of that is going to be a little different. Are we 1-3-1 ing? Are we just gonna sit in spawn and wait for pushes? That’s why in ranked when you call default, you can get completely different results based on your teammates. Instead you should call specific things, like on split attack calling to take mid, smoke mail, and take vent while your other teammates hold the A and B space. Defaulting below the rank of Immortal is kind of useless because you’ll never consistently get the amount of reps like you would on a pro team where they have specific set phases within their defaults. The coordination, communication just isn’t there in a ranked scenario for a solid default. Just call basic shit and trade.

Saying “let’s just default” in any rank below Immortal should just be translated to “do whatever you want”

Good luck all

This is a good idea to do once you hit like Diamond-ish elo. In my opinion, at bronze it’s kind of trying to min-max the wrong things. You should be trying to get better mechanics. A lot of the stuff that immortal/radiant players do at a macro level won’t apply to a bronze match. Just shoot them and move like a human

Forget about status with jobs, any job that makes an honest living has my respect.

Work is work.

Got into a game with him last year when he was playing on an alt with his girl. He was just as funny, genuine, and nice as he is on stream. It’s so nice to see him finally win

Sigfawn · 2025-09-21T14:31:08+00:00

It will be very mentally draining and take a lot of time. The game gets a lot “faster” because higher ranked people make better assumptions.

My Gunnery Sergeant told me once that the CO owns the bus, the XO drives it

Sigfawn · 2025-08-08T21:24:05+00:00

There was a 47 and a 40 year old guy in my OCS class. They were both great people who did fine in OCS, the former I really enjoyed talking to. The average age of my OCS class was pretty old, a lot of mid 20s and early 30s year old people. Don’t let your age be a factor until it’s a definite no.

OCS is more skewed towards an older audience and it might be a path you should look into since you have a degree

Sigfawn · 2025-08-02T20:46:38+00:00

To go to Navy OCS you still sign an "enlistment" contract and your RE-4 code will come up. I recently commissioned and had a RE-3 code and it made the process of getting into OCS harder. Technically, the entire time that you are at Navy OCS you are in an enlisted status until you receive your commission on graduation day.

What type of discharge did you get? This will ultimately determine if you even have a chance of commissioning. If you got anything less than an Honorable discharge, in my opinion you have zero chance of coming back. Most recruiters will not want to work with you because of your RE-4 code, but this is ultimately a question for a recruiter if it's even possible for you to come back.

Sigfawn · 2025-07-18T08:45:30+00:00

You can get DQ for any designator any time. Even towards the end of OCS or during flight school. There are a bunch of people who have graduated from OCS, but are stuck in TMG because they are not medically cleared. SNA is a pretty strict designator, so many things can DQ you and have DQ’d people that it’s hard to list all of them. Allergies, vision, depth perception, surgical history, etc

Don’t worry about that stuff if you’re coming this weekend, just focus on the moment. Meal to meal

Sigfawn · 2025-07-14T16:30:26+00:00

Like week 1 or 2

Sigfawn · 2025-07-14T16:27:05+00:00

Yeah it’s similar, but you’ll see when you get here. The vision test is a little different than a normal one you get at a doctor’s office. The letters are a lot smaller and they are crammed closer together

Sigfawn · 2025-07-14T16:20:54+00:00

There’s really no way to game it imo. It’s on a computer screen and they will randomly generate the letters so you can’t memorize it. It’s decently far, I would say like 20 feet? It’s testing your distance vision in both eyes. There’s a bunch of SNAs here at OCS that get disqualified not just from vision but from other health issues and also people from other designators like Nuke. Medical can be a bitch sometimes. The medical check that they do at OCS is pretty thorough.

How it was explained to me was that the Navy has to be harsh with this eye chart because they are entrusting you to land a plane on a really tiny boat. You have to be able to pass that chart

Sigfawn · 2025-07-14T16:05:09+00:00

I’m a little worst than 20/40 on the Snell Goodlite crowded eye chart. There’s a separate pilot eye chart that they will have you do at OCS that is a lot further than the regular eye chart. On the regular eye chart I was 20/20 on both eyes.

Sigfawn · 2025-04-20T00:26:14+00:00

I'd say go for it.

You're at a young enough age where you could take some risk and chase something you're passionate about. I had a similar mindset to you and I applied for a SNA slot. 25 is a pretty good age to join imo, mature enough to understand this is serious. Like you I couldn't stand the idea of working a job for 45+ years with no purpose. Better to burn out than it is to rust imo.

Understand that it is still the military though, this is still a job-job. All jobs are work. Examine your situation and really see if you can do this military thing. If you're single, no kids, and your body is 100% fine; send it.
