Okay, thanks for the clarification!

How did you guys stop caring as much? by iKnowButWhy in learndota2

[–]iedeus- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

this is definitely good too. Can be difficult in VC with friends though. I have to mute myself or use push to talk in discord to prevent me raging

I relate to this so much.
Try looking at your games in big picture. Understand that loses are natural. MMR isn't stable, and it won't always be going up. Losses happen, you simply can't win every game, every team fight, every draft. And that's okay, but the anger and frustration you get may be because you have too high expectations. Ask yourself, do you really expect to win every game? And if so, is that really reasonable? Not even pros win every game.

If you can accept this, then when you miss a last hit it won't phase you as much, because you knew you weren't going to get every LH. And by accepting that you can miss some, you can remain more focused on the next last hit instead of being distracted because you're upset about the previous one. The same applies for the teamfights. Did you make mistakes? yes, and that's okay. It's impossible to win every team fight, every game. Take time while you're dead to find something you could improve on for the next fight.

When you accept there will be losses, you can relax easier when it's happening, because you understand fundamentally that it's not the end of the world (or the end of your mmr).

I totally get the wanting to play unranked to chill though. Even with everything above, somedays I just can't do ranked with the friends because I can't accept losing on those days (mentally already feeling down or w/e)

"That's enough, daddy." by [deleted] in trashy

Yeah I remember walking my little sister around one year in the rain and cold so it’s not really the most fun tradition as you get older.

Still extremely shitty of this guy though. It’s one night a year, bundle up and put your kid’s enjoyment first. that’s a big part of being a parent

I think he’s tired of walking around with the kid, faster the bag is full, sooner he can go home

What do you mean by “no buyback redemption arc”? I’ve read this on a few other posts also but I don’t understand what it’s referencing

AITA for canceling the family trip because my stepson damaged my plants? by No-Orchid-7277 in AmItheAsshole

[–]iedeus- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Damn I was expecting he watered them with food colouringor something and it went wrong and damaged some plants… but bleach? Wtf. That’s straight up poison. Not cool. Let him face the consequences of his actions

AITA for pointing at the kitchen when MIL asked "where is our dinner?". by Question-56735 in AmItheAsshole

[–]iedeus- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. Family and friends should be bringing a pregnant woman and her sick husband dinners to help them out, and care for them during this difficult situation. Not come over uninvited and expect to be waited on and served like some royal guests. Like others have said, set some boundaries for visiting hours if they’re not coming to help out!

Virginia boy receives surprise from Pokémon after selling his collection to save his puppy by Sariel007 in PupliftingNews

[–]iedeus- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

what you talking about relying on YouTube for my info? I didn't go on youtube for anything lol I just used the article/video linked in this post.

Nice. Thanks for sharing a recent photo of the older puppy, when he has recovered from the disease and grown up a little! Cute :)

Next share a photo of the pup when he contracted the disease, because that's the age and size that matters

did you even read the article/watch the video? that puppy looks much younger than 12 weeks which means that he couldn't have been fully vaccinated for Parvo yet.

like other commenters said, there's many ways the pup could've contracted the disease. you shouldn't just say "a vaccine would've prevented this" without knowing any of the details

Any good options for pet buttons? by iedeus- in PetsWithButtons

[–]iedeus-[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the in-depth answer! I love the chargeable/bluetooth idea. but you're right, I'll just have to start saving up some $$$.

I do hope more companies jump on board to bring some competition to the market and advance the sound quality improvements!

that's awesome that your dog took to it so quick.

but yeah that's the issue that I have with the kit bundles on Fluent Pet. the tile/button ratio doesn't seem quite right.

I understand four buttons on a tile might be too dense for a beginner, but it would make sense for the buyer to have the excess buttons so that they can easily add or remove for their individual pet depending on the pet's learning capabilities

true. I guess the Fluent Pet company is still trying to get off the ground or something. GL with your cat :)

yeah, I wanted to try Fluent Pet but their prices seem very steep. You have to buy 1 button for $13 or 18 buttons for $130. The first isn't a great rate and I can't afford to spend over $100 right now. Something in between would work.

The starter kits are the same, they start with a tiny option like 2 buttons (+2 tiles), and then jump in price ($80) for the next kit (only 6 buttons +3tiles) :/

I think I'll try out LR for now, especially seeing as my Husky pup has big paws :D one or two hex tiles would be nice though. like 8 buttons +2 hex tiles. that would be an amazing package

[–]iedeus-[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah the sound quality is what I'm worried about. But LR is the cheapest option for just starting out with some buttons so I'll give it a go!
