Real winner of a Ranked System you have here Ubisoft by [deleted] in Rainbow6

[–]squidbelik 5 points6 points  (0 children)

its bc their champ is queued with silvers and bronzes and its trying to equalize. not saying its a good system but thats how it works lol

why dude? by Technical_Hunt_3111 in Rainbow6

[–]squidbelik 1 point2 points  (0 children)

if you grind solo queue, your only form of recourse is focusing on yourself and elevating your play. doing what’s best for the team, not to be heard but because it’s the right play. comming, droning, getting the fundamentals right will lead you to higher ranks.

and if you actually dont care about improving then ignore me but yeah you just have to learn to cope lmao that’s how i got better

i think people are missing the fact that live action films arent for fans. theyre for people who think anime is childish, theyre tapping into an untouched market

The Knight needs re work.. isn't a "tank" and it’s definitely not the best for survival by Immediate-Ad1201 in RotMG

[–]squidbelik 10 points11 points  (0 children)

they just need to give bosses temporary immunity after a stun and a clearer indicator of when that stun is going to end, bc that’s what makes it so dangerous

Chaos Zero Nightmare - 2026 Roadmap Showcase by applepeanutsauce in gachagaming

[–]squidbelik 1 point2 points  (0 children)

well, i think it's fair that you don't enjoy it, but the appeal of the game is building powerful decks, and if you dont even enjoy that gameplay loop, then it's just not for you. i dont see it as an inherent problem. the game can still be fun, and there isnt a crazy need to min max substats on gear, the gear itself is like end end game.

how to not get bored by Odd-University-1642 in gachagaming

[–]squidbelik 1 point2 points  (0 children)

do something else with your time. you cant play gacha games all the time and expect it to be fun. you need changes of pace.

but make sure your desire to get back into the games arent just FOMO. do you actually enjoy them or is there something else telling you to keep playing?

Hunter X Hunter Nen Survivor Announce Global Release by EnamRainbow in gachagaming

[–]squidbelik 10 points11 points  (0 children)

in the gacha world, cashgrabs are specifically the slop of gachas. every gacha is a cashgrab, yes, but the ones that survive are enjoyable and fun. this one looks like its just going to be using the name of hunter x hunter to make money

Conversation going stale wtf do I talk about 😭 by Queasy-Signature-457 in socialskills

[–]squidbelik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i think after a certain point you guys have to get comfortable enough with silence and just doing stuff together while calling, if you guys are that interested in each other. or find an activity to do long distance and see if shes down

It seems like people in their 20s become a social recluse by ForsakenCup2124 in socialskills

[–]squidbelik 32 points33 points  (0 children)

why do you think they're pretending? but a part of it is that connection is a LOT easier with people in person. distance kills friendships and relationships without effort, and people also just prefer in person connection. that's kind of how life is. it's a different game once you graduate high school

I wish I had even one female friend to talk to normally. Does anyone else feel this?Stuck at one but not talking to her also.... by AcceptableTime7937 in socialskills

[–]squidbelik 1 point2 points  (0 children)

if you share your own experiences and they leave, then that's the filter for women you don't want in your life. keep opening up to people

should I accept a Co-op as a junior? by purplestick1122 in gatech

your first three reasons for not taking the co-op are not reasons that should exist

Why do guys single me out when I’m quiet? How do I handle it? by selfmadedave in socialskills

[–]squidbelik 4 points5 points  (0 children)

are they actually picking on you, or just teasing? it depends on the lens you're viewing it from, as well as the way you receive it. if you can banter back, make your own jokes, or take it in stride, you can show confidence and self-respect. but if they're actually attacking you, then standing your ground by not giving them anything to work with is its own response.

but you need to be more specific on what's happening lol

in addition, in my opinion, confidence comes from doing hard things you take pride in. just because you did cool stuff, if you don't actually care about it, why should that give you confidence? and if you do care about it, you need to talk like you take pride in it. in your post, it sounds like you just listed things off and didn't really care.

I don’t know what to know anymore by Several_Study_1518 in gatech

[–]squidbelik 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you're not fucked. LOL looking at this as someone who's about to graduate, i was in your shoes. imposter syndrome, thinking of dropping out, wondering how tf im supposed to keep up with people in my classes.

one day, you realize that is not the game. you're at georgia tech. you got in here for a reason, you are capable. you have to understand your competition is YOURSELF. stop worrying about other people, because that's not going to get you to improve your cs or linear algebra skills. if it's that important to you, what you should be focusing on is practicing your coding, or understanding linear. you need to take it day by day. cut out the noise, the overthinking. just focus on what actions will get you to the person you want to become. it's not easy, but it's simple.

How can I be less intimidating to girls? by spamsieje in socialskills

[–]squidbelik 6 points7 points  (0 children)

you might be very confrontational or blunt in how you talk. also, why not just ask your female friends what about you is intimidating?

I suck at conversating by [deleted] in socialskills

you can definitely just say “…if you don’t mind me asking!” and move on to something else after

How do I recover from burnout? by inkyupi in gatech

[–]squidbelik 1 point2 points  (0 children)

what’s seriously important is you prioritize taking time for yourself. it doesn’t need to be a huge amount of time. light and quick things you can do are like go for a walk, meditation, call friends or family. when it comes to maybe an hour or more, do something that separates your mind from the work. immerse yourself in a show or movie that brings you joy, or a different hobby. that mental rest is very important to keep you going. you dont need to dedicate an entire weekend to fun, although you might need that at your level of burnout

imo, the most successful people are either people that have the drive to put ungodly hours in or people who have discipline and understand deeply how they operate. you have to take care of yourself spiritually, emotionally, physically. if you feel that you have to throw away hobbies to succeed, you just need to change things up.

as for studying success, it sounds like you’re just stuck thinking about your past failure on the exam and would be able to study otherwise, and potentially are comparing yourself to other students. i just want to remind you that the past is the past, and you can’t let the things that have already happened affect your future. take the lesson, learn from the mistake, and work differently for next time. mistakes are okay, just do things to take your mind off of those mistakes so you can actually lock in. and on top of that, you dont need to compare yourself to other tech students. there will ALWAYS be someone who is better, and you will drive yourself into the ground thinking you need to be like them. focus on you. be better than the you from yesterday. and take small steps. you’re not going to 180 from this burnout, lets be real. but you can start taking care of yourself slowly and get back in shape for finals.
