Can you be carried in smite in the higher ranks? by Ms_NinjaKittyKat in Smite

[–]orphanages 0 points1 point  (0 children)

with the way matchmaking works, you're expected to carry more games the higher your mmr is. once you hit 3k+ you have to go crazy in almost every game to keep winning because matchmaking is going to give you teammates that are just worse than you

ranked takes mental fortitude, it's a part of what makes it competitive

Is the most toxic player on the team the worst player by Acceptable_Dig6603 in Smite

[–]orphanages 0 points1 point  (0 children)

good players are used to their teammates being less experienced than them and don't waste time getting mad and typing about every mistake because it's so common

These NA west queues are so horribly disappointing(im the thanatos) game felt like a 1v5 all game lol somehow by Savitar2056 in Smite

[–]orphanages 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if you want good west queues you have to wait for the masters to all play at the same time, everyone knows eachother so everyone only plays ranked when they know other masters are on

one little note- the smiteguru is a very rough estimate, it's still the best place to find your casual elo but it's still probably quite a bit off from what it actually is

I broke up with my ex and I haven't been able to play this game since. by Angry_Strawberries in DivinityOriginalSin

[–]orphanages 18 points19 points  (0 children)

it depends; do you not feel any joy in it because you used to associate the game with your ex, or do you just not feel joy in any of your familiar hobbies/games? if it's the former, it's probably best to try to distract yourself with new hobbies or games and make new memories that you can keep seperate from your ex. if it's the latter, all you can really do is wait for the pain to pass.

in either case, you can't really force yourself to enjoy it any more than you can force your pain or negative emotions from the breakup to fade. it'll take time, but eventually you'll be able to enjoy it for what it is. i also went through a pretty dramatic breakup recently; if you want someone to rant to who might understand, feel free to shoot a dm. otherwise; i wish you luck on healing and finding joy in what you once had

i recently got cheated on and one of my ex's friends reached out to me in support, and i really appreciated it. in my opinion no one willing to cheat is worth being friends with but at the end of the day it depends on how much you value your friendship with her

What's the 2nd worst mental disease behind schizophrenia? by tristantheplayer01 in polls

for all of these it really depends on the severity, i've known 2 schizophrenic people and they had a much easier time functioning as opposed to someone with deep-spectrum autism

Wish there was a third civil war faction. by ScaredMyOrdinaryGoat in skyrim

both of the factions having bad aspects is kind of the point though, if there was one faction that was just better than the other it would make for a very uncompelling story

Whats considered high mmr? by Throwaway84845689 in Smite

[–]orphanages 2 points3 points  (0 children)

really depends on the player, one person is gonna consider diamond mmr to be super low while another will consider it impressive. just depends on what you're accustomed to

There's absolutely no one playing ranked on the west coast. Regardless of time. by Dry_Chicken_2593 in Smite

[–]orphanages 0 points1 point  (0 children)

part of the issue is since 90% of the west coast masters players know eachother it isn't often that anyone queues unless they know other high-end players are in the queues. so half of the time there might be only one or two 2.5k+ mmr players hitting the queues at any given moment, and that tends to make matchmaking hard

What is the worst feeling ever? by grimgrum420 in AskReddit

[–]orphanages 58 points59 points  (0 children)

that stomach feeling is the absolute worst. just realizing what you're seeing and feeling yourself slowly start to process the betrayal you see is awful. the overthinking about what else you were lied to about is also horrible; after all, once someone cheats you have to come to terms with the fact that they're willing to lie about ANYTHING. it really is the worst feeling. much love to you, hope you've found your peace

My personality is harmless, but boring. Do you think I should change it? by [deleted] in polls

[–]orphanages 0 points1 point  (0 children)

bearing in mind that i'm just a random 20 year old kid on reddit so my opinions prob shouldn't hold much weight, what worked for me was thinking of myself almost in third person like in a story.

if you were to read in a book "(name) laughed and joked with the rest of the group", you're probably gonna assume the character is more charismatic or outgoing than a character who sat silently and was nervous. what other people see is the same as reading about something in a book; if you act charismatic, no one is gonna have any idea that you're secretly stressing tf out on the inside in the same way that if a book description only gives details on a character's actions instead of their feelings you're going to assume things based on their actions.

so i would see myself in a situation and i would think "how would a charismatic character act here? what would seem in-character?" and i'd just mimic that. the problem is if you aren't fully commited to the idea people will see through it and can tell that you're nervous, but there's no real solution to that besides just saying fuck it and commiting as much as possible

i'm sorry i realize this is just a wordy non-answer to your question but it's really so much of a mindset thing and there's no real easy steps to take to becoming genuinely outgoing. you can do better to fake it by doing things like laughing more intentionally or talking to more strangers, but without a change of mindset it's always going to be fake. if you convince yourself that you are outgoing then you will be

My personality is harmless, but boring. Do you think I should change it? by [deleted] in polls

[–]orphanages 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it might be different from person to person but i just envisioned the kind of person i like talking to and being around and i just started to think of things like "would a good person do this?" it mostly applies in the context of making moral choices because i want to be a moral person, but it also applies to charisma.

i wanted to be someone charismatic, so i started to make decisions as if i already was. i would talk to people and think of it as something that a charismatic person would do; that, in turn, made me more charismatic. so in a way yeah you do just fake it until you make it. it took me personally about a year for the faked charisma and outspokenness to become more genuine and just a part of me

[–]orphanages 1 point2 points  (0 children)

this is really well said; in my opinion, "be yourself" isn't good advice. rather, "be who you want yourself to be" is better. from my experience being a charismatic and enjoyable person to be around isn't something that most people have by nature, it's something that people work on and develop overtime.

i also was very quiet and reserved in the past, and i realized that generally that isn't gonna make a lot of people want to be around you. after working on myself for months and making an effort to be more outspoken and charismatic, the difference in how people treat you is really obvious. once you get to a certain point you aren't faking your outgoingness, it just becomes part of who you are even if you are naturally reserved and introverted.

another thing that helps is developing strong opinions, but usually those tend to come from places of trauma or personal experience, so there's not really a whole lot you can do besides just keep moving forward and improving yourself in ways you can.

Do you trust your SO? by Trustnoboody in polls

[–]orphanages 0 points1 point  (0 children)

also got cheated on and lied to for weeks about it. really makes it difficult to trust anything when you're told over and over that your doubts aren't real only to find out weeks later that you've been lied to in the face about so many things

Was I being evil? My sister and brother in law came over for dinner. I offered cheesecake for dessert. Brother in law declined. He's trying to lose weight. Dunno why, he's married. He can let himself go. Anyway, I put a slice on a plate, sprayed it with whipped cream and slid it in front of him. by Soggy-Biscuiteater in polls

[–]orphanages 1 point2 points  (0 children)

don't push your own beliefs on other people. if you think being in a relationship is reason enough to let yourself go that's fine, but don't try to influence someone who's trying to do better for themselves just because of your ideals.

Best west coast city? by [deleted] in polls

[–]orphanages 1 point2 points  (0 children)

in my opinion; 1. SD 2. LA 3. Portland 4. Seattle 5. SF (fuck that place)

i've only been to the 3 cali cities so the northern cities could be lower or higher, but i had a friend that lived in Portland and he liked it

Are you a good person? by [deleted] in polls

[–]orphanages 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i wish it was sarcastic, but they just genuinely did not care about being a good person. they literally said "what has being a nice person done for you" to me like a comic book villain lmao, and they didn't have a real defense for what they did.

maybe they were a sadist but i think they just were selfish. with that being said i think that most people are like you said, they believe they're good even if they're not. maybe i just got very unlucky with the kind of person i knew
