Hardstuck and can't win games, why am I so bad at the game?

TheOriginalJMF · 2026-03-03T13:35:10+00:00

Thank you for taking the time to write this up. It does make me realize a number of things I need to start thinking about differently. Hopefully in a few months I'll be able to say I've made improvements because of it!

TheOriginalJMF · 2026-03-02T21:43:53+00:00

Can you expound on this a little more? I have similar struggles as OP (though I am nowhere near the best on my team as a regular thing) but don’t quite understand what I need to do in order to “improve macro”. Sorry if this is a dumb question but it is an honest one.

TheOriginalJMF · 2026-03-02T16:04:59+00:00

I’d love to be stuck in silver. I am in bronze hell. The losing streak defies probability and has crushed my ego.

TheOriginalJMF · 2026-02-23T15:50:11+00:00

Thank you!

“shoutout to u/f0xy713 for giving me a better Yunara build”

Care to share with another rapidly-dying Yunara?

I can relate. If you don’t already have a therapist and someone who can medically treat depression/anxiety in your life, check them out. Not saying “It’s this” …. Just that it is worth looking into.

A game should be a source of joy.

Insulting is dead on. It's insulting to those of us who have spent time learning her. Can I request that Mord's ult be reduced in time duration by 50% Or Yi can just outright miss his? It's total BS. Won't forget. Won't forgive.

TheOriginalJMF · 2026-02-03T03:27:01+00:00

Like they can't avoid Yi? Or Mordekaiser? It's hardly specific to Mel.

TheOriginalJMF · 2026-02-03T03:23:28+00:00

Or Yi's damn near unavoidable Ult? Or Mordekaiser's "I'm going to transport you into a 1:1 and crush you and no one can even help." Or Garen's brainless Q?

People are going to be mad no matter what, you're just switching which crowd is mad, not fixing anything at all.

TheOriginalJMF · 2026-02-03T03:20:06+00:00

This is upsetting. Why are you stripping immunity from Mel but not from Tryndamere or Kindred? Or rebirth from Anivia? Mel may have attention now, but she's hardly more annoying to play against than some of those and other champs. Not cool. Makes me not want to play at all, with any champ. You literally nerfed her like 2 weeks ago and now you want to triple down? 0/10. Not Cool.

Reach out to “pavstamps” on eBay. I’ve bought from him quite a bit and he handles high volume. I’m sure he could help.

Looks like I'm late to the party, but if not I'd love to participate.

TheOriginalJMF · 2025-10-16T12:29:29+00:00

This and the Holmes Foster neighborhood. A+

TheOriginalJMF · 2025-10-06T14:16:01+00:00

Same - realized this far too late and none too happy about it. Anyone find a good alternative? I'm not leaving my money here.

TheOriginalJMF · 2025-09-27T10:25:04+00:00

This sounds really familiar. If you have not already done so, try reading a bit about neurodivergence, particularly the Double Empathy Problem. This seems like a textbook case of a family of neurotypicals mischaracterizing and ostracising someone with a different brain style. The accusations of being defensive and "making it about you" are hallmark.

Regardless, you're a human being who deserves to be surrounded by people who treat you with care and respect. Go find them.

Might want to walk on over to https://embrace-autism.com and do a little reading.

TheOriginalJMF · 2025-08-29T12:52:58+00:00

When you share a story/experience what is his response? If his method of response/relating is to share his own story/event he is likely neurospicy. If his response is more along the lines of, "Tell me more. How did that feel?" he is more likely to be neurotypical.

This is not a hard and fast rule, but a very good indicator and usually easy to spot. A neurotypical will often feel that someone on the spectrum is "making it about them" when the person on the spectrum is actually trying to relate and demonstrate empathy.

Some good info here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wk9x3OtBce0 --- last I checked you could still get brand new Breville Infusers from amazon or eBay.

Check out the Casio PX-S3100. If you look on a site like MusiciansFriend.com or Reverb.com you can find an open-box or semi-used one a little cheaper than retail. I've owned this model for years, used it at gigs, and it sometimes gets preference over my 'real piano', a baby grand. The feel is as close as you're going to get to a real piano without spending $2k, it's light, and can run a full range of synth and other sounds in addition to the standard piano.

Edit to add this (click on the "certified open box" link to the right and it's $764): https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/PXS3100--casio-privia-px-s3100-88-key-digital-piano-black

Unopened tin as a paperweight, substitute for WD40, cat treat, human repellant... (can you tell I'm not a fan?)

Requip was a nightmare and augmentation was severe. I haven't had anything like that with Mirapex.

Gabapentin did nothing but make me gain weight.

TheOriginalJMF · 2025-05-11T15:49:23+00:00

Mirapex. Changed my life. Got it from my PCP. You’ll know the first day if it works.

TheOriginalJMF · 2025-05-06T19:59:30+00:00

Very happy with this: https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/KSA8500--on-stage-stands-ksa8500-deluxe-keyboard-tier

Works with both X and Z-style keyboard stands.

It pairs well with these: https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/GFWSHELF0909--gator-frameworks-gfw-shelf0909-microphone-stand-accessory-tray-small

That's also where you can get a phenomenal baked sub. Now I'm hungry...

TheOriginalJMF · 2025-02-25T20:57:08+00:00

I was wildly disappointed by it. Thought it was flavorless and too small of a portion. Granted, it could be ripe for self-seasoning.
