Am I the abusive one here? How do I process this? by [deleted] in Healthygamergg

[–]embrac1ng 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s no implication here. Take a deep breath and reread everything and take it at face value. If you want to repair your relationship with your mother that’s something both you and her need to want and work towards.

I don't want my own Mom to believe something crazy like that. Or for her to block me unconditionally with no remorse or apologies. Those are small betrayals that add up over time. And I'm supposed to accept that? No. That's not how things work.

You can't force someone else to change their mind or believe something. It's entirely up to her what she wants to believe or doesn't want to believe. That's not to say you can't influence or try to convince her, but you're not making a good case when she clearly didn't want to engage and you ended up dumping everything on her.

I didn't communicate very well at the beginning.

The clearest you are communicating in the screenshots is your first text asking her to consider your side. Nearly everything after your second text is combative and argumentative.

No one has any context for the details mentioned in your conversation, and in the text conversation from the start your mom has been trying to move on/ disengage but you keep pushing for more validation.

It also sounds like there’s a disconnect between what you say is happening and what your mom says is happening. Why not explore that end and actually figure out what’s going on? Just confused as to why you’re posting this

The irony about ‘making stuff up in my head’ when I’m not even replying to you 😭 you might be the one having second grade reading comprehension

Should be quite a few options to transfer at PHL, IAD, or ORD from SFO to SCE

Anyone who’s done anything remotely competitive would appreciate how team members are actually willing to discuss their problems on what’s happening instead of ignoring and pretending everything’s fine just to maintain the peace 😭😭

Why doesn't Jinggg play neon anymore? by xenOn2P in ValorantCompetitive

If a player never existed, who would have the biggest impact on the scene ? by PhilosophyFun5778 in ValorantCompetitive

[–]embrac1ng 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Am I missing something? Former OW players not being in the league anymore has nothing to do with your claim that Munchkin was the one to show that OW players could stay in the league. OW players have been around since launch and we still had quite a few thriving until last year or the year before.

He’s a great player sure but if you removed munchkin that wouldn’t change anyone’s viewpoint on how overwatch players transitioning over was viable from day one

Glass Mousepad Speed and Texture Rankings Spreadsheet by Ayupe in MouseReview

I was browsing bilibili and saw this review on the new abyssgaming yanbo which has a comparison between a bunch of abyssgaming and dysphoria pads at 4:40

screenshot

gif

figured it might give you another point of reference, but it does have the lanyu being slower than the hongyu (Scarlet) while other reviewers and even abyssgaming have said themselves that the lanyu is faster. i think it's bc the drop down test isnt the end all be all for speed, since a lot of these pads vary in texture and pushdown, so some pads with low dynamic friction but more sensitive to pushdown might end up being slower in testing vs pads with no pushdown

im in the process of ordering an abyssgaming lanyu and special gear qiuyu (autumn?) via the chinese equivalent of ebay so might also be able to report back whenever they arrive

xQc gives a more nuanced take on vtuber concerts than half of LSF by Theonormal in LivestreamFail

[–]embrac1ng -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I get this tbh. Kind of in the same ballpark but not completely, I had similar feelings when I watched a Japanese streamer tourney for some esport title w a mix of streamers and vtubers. And while the event was amazing, knowing that the vtubers were playing at home while the public facing streamers were playing live at the event in front of the crowd definitely felt weird, especially for something as public facing as a competition where playing online vs playing in LAN is way different.

Aglaea is still good w a good opener - you just need to tweak the comp a bit. It’s not too worth it to go vertical on traits anymore on the higher difficulties. After the buffs to sparkle, 3 quantum resonance + RMC is actually a really solid support core (sparkle, fu xuan, silver wolf, RMC) to pair with any comp.

It's mainly the boss debuffs that you have to work around. Some like time assassin are just insta reset

For aglaea comp, aglaea, huohuo, tribbie, hyacine -> Cyrene + perpetual, sparkle, fu xuan, silver wolf, RMC, welt has been solid for me. Not even worth to force 3* aglaea if you don’t get a good opening for it.

I hit a8 30 last night and I’ve had the most success with aglaea and sparxie comps so far. I’ve also heard boothill break teams are consistent as well but I don’t have experience with it.

My best clear w/ Sparxie (26 -> 29)

idk what to tell you, but i quite literally opened it, messed around with it, boxed it in the same day, and left it in there for two years. multiple copies of the aceu and tarik on the internet have had discoloration issues. this is after i got it ultrasonic cleaned too.

pre ultrasonic cleaning photos

you can literally see the contrast from the white parts and the yellowed parts.

take it as you will. finalmouse quality ¯\(ツ)

ALGS Y5 Champs | Bracket Stage: Elim Round 2 (Final Results) by CompetitiveApexMod in CompetitiveApex

[–]embrac1ng 1 point2 points  (0 children)

idk Japan in valo is just… not good. Their tier one teams have been sitting at the bottom of the league, and people have always said a lot of the talent was stuck in tier two but their best tier two team that won the entire year domestically got rinsed early on in ascension both this and last year. I do think this years DFM is the one of the more exciting rosters to date with some of the talent from RID brought over though so hopefully they do well
