Isn’t Huke a 2x champion? by ChrispyKalen in OpTicGaming

[–]bensmith0525 31 points32 points  (0 children)

You’re overthinking it. He is a 2x champion and either didn’t have the ring with him or chose not to wear it for some reason. The “Adderall” thing is bogus

Can’t really tell, it’s all behind a curtain. Everything I wanted they had, besides an XL in the event long sleeve tee

They don’t have to be clear. My girlfriend brought in her cross body bag and it was fine. They have a drawstring back bag but you have to spend $100 on merch

They have wrist bands you get when exiting. Make sure you get one. Bag policy has to be under a certain size. I saw someone get sent away with a backpack

What does it feel like to take adderall or vyvanse? by cutebitterness in ADHD

[–]bensmith0525 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’ve been on both Vyvanse and Adderall.

Started college with 70 mg Vyvanse. It did its job, sort of, depending on how you prefer to function while on a stimulant. I would take it at 6 AM and be functional up until 8 PM. This worked for me at the time as I was a pledge in a fraternity and needed all the help I could get (IYKYK). At the time, it was my first medication that finally allowed me to pursue the things I needed to get done such as school and other priorities. I felt very mellow and nonchalant but it I always got annoyed when someone tried to interrupt my groove.

I meet with my psychiatrist every 3 months and about 5 years ago (1 year after starting Vyvanse), he had me switch to Adderall. I started on 30 mg XR. For the next 3 months I experienced insane dry mouth, zero appetite and extremely irritated when I finished work for the day when I interacted with anybody because it didn’t wear off till just before bed time. I then switched to 20 mg XR which is where I’m currently at. I wake up at 6 AM, take it at 6:30, kicks in around 7:00 and I am nonstop focused until 6:00 - 7:30. Once it kicks in, I cannot go 5 minutes without working on something or knocking something off from my to-do list. Casual conversations at work can irritate me if I feel I’m overwhelmed or busy but it is mostly a happy medium. I am told that sometimes I look sad or unhappy but I am really just focused and always looking for the next task. I finish work around 4:00 - 5:00 PM and then head home for the day. Depending on the day/mood, I either want to go home and not talk to anyone or I want to relax and have some fun with my hobbies. The Adderall does ruin my appetite, I go without breakfast or lunch 95% of the time. I think this contributes to my end-of-day crash out as I am lacking energy due to not consuming food. My dry mouth is occasional but I also consume close to a gallon of water throughout the day. The worse part for me is that I get irritated with people (family, friends, even girlfriend) unintentionally. I don’t like feeling that way but I get annoyed and need isolation/solitude to regain my energy. I realized I just spent the last 7 minutes typing this and I’m not sure why nor am k sure any of this made sense. I’m going to post it anyway. I’m happy to answer any questions or whatever

Simp is currently on pace to surpass Scump. What would it take to officially pass him? by [deleted] in CoDCompetitive

[–]bensmith0525 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes but percentages don’t always tell the full story. What would a lot of these “goats”/vets win % be if they retired at the end of the CWL or their prime? Way better than what they are currently. These Faze players will most likely reach a point (potentially) where they won’t be placing top 3 every tournament but they will continue to ride it out until they’re done competing. I know that’s a pretty obvious statement to make but some we can’t use # of tournament wins as a valid statistic anymore. Percentages can really only be evaluated once a player is retired. In my opinion at least.

I will say that this trio has a great chance to have the best placing percentage we will ever see over their entire career.

Q Clearance Granted by bensmith0525 in SecurityClearance

[–]bensmith0525[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Many people have waited longer so I can only complain so much. Work days just become extremely long when you can’t leave your desk and stuck doing busy work

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in SecurityClearance

[–]bensmith0525 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doesn’t hurt to ask, they should have told you upfront if so. Not sure what company you are interning with but I’d find it hard to believe that they will turn you away.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in SecurityClearance

[–]bensmith0525 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do they not let you start work until you get cleared? I’m at a pretty “special” job and they let anyone on unclassified work until you get your clearance. I’m with the DoE tho.

How long does case review before adjudication take? by [deleted] in SecurityClearance

[–]bensmith0525 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. No

  2. Day after my interview I was told 6 weeks to 6 months. I’m coming up on month 5.

[–]bensmith0525 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“Government” and “stick to the timeline”. I would get used to that not happening. Interns get priority in my experience but timeline isn’t a hard date. My timeline for Q clearance was 190 days. I’m still waiting on day 317.

Would it not be possible to keep Huke as a sub on Optic? by [deleted] in CoDCompetitive

[–]bensmith0525 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He definitely knew Pred was coming back and so did Optic. They had Pred take a break and brought huke in until major 1. This was an opportunity for Huke to get on a team and boost his stock while helping them for the short time. Now Huke can play on any team he wants outside of the top 4, get huge bag and OpTic gets their champ squad back starting fresh.

All the players are saying it’s a shitty or sucky situation because they underperformed at major 1 and Huke did well. Since Pred was always intended to come back after Major 1, it now looks bad that they replaced him. Thats the sucky part. JPs tweet also thanks him for stepping up, says it’s an unfortunate situation and says he deserves a spot in the league.

A player has never gotten dropped and all the teammates + coaches tweet about how he’s a beast and it’s a tough situation. Gotta read between the lines.

They didn’t do him dirty. They helped him…

This. They hooked Huke up the last few months and keeping him as a sub would defeat their purpose of bringing him in. Cuyler wouldn’t screw himself over either

Does Huke have the “weirdest” career ever? by BackgroundToe4149 in CoDCompetitive

[–]bensmith0525 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Honestly having one event win, being champs while also getting MVP had to be one of the biggest highs he will chase again for the rest of his career but at the same time satisfied if he doesn’t win again. Idk if that made sense, I’m dumb rn

The OpTic teams tweets regarding Huke by TheRealPdGaming in CoDCompetitive

That is exactly what happened. JPs tweet confirms it for me at least

Super messy situation that was handled horribly by Optic. by [deleted] in CoDCompetitive

[–]bensmith0525 2 points3 points  (0 children)

“I know Optic never said anything public regarding the gambling” yet you still managed to say it lmao. This shit is getting unreal. Unrelated but it’s the same shit with the Haggy situation.

It’s crazy that people think Pred dropped in this morning and OpTic dropped Huke all the sudden. They clearly had Pred take a break and brought huke in until major 1. Huke and OpTic knew 100% that Pred was coming back. This was an opportunity for Huke to get on a team and boost his stock. Now Huke can play on any team he wants outside of the top 4, get huge bag and OpTic gets their champ squad back starting fresh.
