taking breaks is a necessary part of improvement, grinding that hard is probably counterproductive.

i cant name more than 5 people who haven't nuked their playtime chart at some point

nevermind im retarded

slowgan goingtoindycargeant actually looked good last week, hopefully he can score some real ontrack points at some point this season

guys why is checo getting cooked by a haas every week

please god stop

if you wanted to play highlander, assuming you're playing RGL (north america) because i dont know shit about SA

i would join the discord (https://discord.com/invite/3hJsWu7) and just ring newcomer
(type "ringme [class] newcomer" in #ringers-hl) on your favorite class on saturdays and sundays since they are just scrims

someone will dm you asking you to play or if someone types "LFR [class] newcomer" that means they are looking for a ringer, and you can message them asking to play

when you're in the team's discord tell them you're a new player and ask where their normal player plays on the map and what they want you to do.

in newcomer most teams are pretty understanding if you're a bit confused/lost.

!!ALSO ASK IF THEY KNOW ANY PUG GROUPS FOR NEWCOMER PLAYERS!!

its generally low stakes, and there are some teams who might just pick you up on the spot if you do good enough (don't count on it, generally most teams that are looking for players do so earlier in the season.)

i wouldn't bother adding to the RGL website pugs (FOR HIGHLANDER, NOT 6s) because its almost exclusively invite players these days

if you have any followup questions just reply to this post and i'll help you as much as i can, or if you want to play SA hopefully someone else in the thread can lend a hand.

good luck buddy

remember to have fun, and its GGs only

i would also get my armrest as close to the surface of my desk as possible, doing this /¯ with your wrist/hand is way more stressful than just having it flat in my experience

no bots is so nice

im curious, how? also do you have a citation on these "other jobs"?

yes, that by definition makes it as of right now, a terrible technology.

you would be utterly shocked by the amount of powerful people with literally zero perception of how technology works. ask anyone involved in sales at any AI startup, the amount of executives who think that AI can literally do physical labor and will replace high skill white collar work is incredible.

and yes it is literally to boost the stock market, take a good look at the US economy, notice how everything is going down except literally 2 companies, man i wonder what microsoft and nvidia have been up to recently to make them perform so well, surely this isn't a giant speculative bubble like we've seen countless other times with disruptive technology, powered by investors desperate search for a growing industry in a time of economic decline to save their portfolio. im equally sure that companies and datacenters totally aren't just latching onto this because its something to do with the billions and billions they spent on GPUs when crypto and web3 was also the future.

yeah the spoiled rotten wealthy elite and their *checks notes* disdain for economic reliance on disruptive and incredibly resource-demanding new technology that has yet to do anything besides google shit for you, make you shitty artwork (taking money out of artist's pockets because who needs those guys, art is worthless anyways LOLE!!!) or give you salesforce style dashboards that already existed (that didn't need as much energy as most small countries to generate) but now with fake attitude and vocal inflection! wowzers!!!

we've bet the entire western economy onto a few products with incredibly limited use cases, which will result in a 2008-esque financial crisis once the bubble pops (like the dot com bubble but 100x worse because unlike 2001, the economy is in complete fucking shambles)

not saying ai will never be useful, maybe there is a use case in the future, but as of right now, today, it is a ticking timebomb

also sam altman has a really punchable face

fuck it, watch this one in full, idgaf anymore.

hey maybe skip this one too

laning in deadlock is some of the least fun ive ever had playing a multiplayer videogame

cu@
