@NoMansSky I woke up waiting for the second emoji but the day is going slow, I will stop refreshing X now and find something else to play :(

[Katerina Tzika @Katri_Marcell]

@Griff_ To me it looks like any other game like Starfield and I wouldn't want to miss the unique visuals of NMS. However, my friends never played with me, saying it's not realistic visually, so they might try it if it looked that realistic!

@NoMansSky Congratulations!I’ll never forget how 10 years ago I was in Serbia for vacation, counting the days to be back & NMS for the first time 🥰 speaking of vacation 🥲 if you have a new update, blink once so that I can download it with my 4mb download connection while on holidays 🥲

@SethHsPRC @Duriel_GR They’ve treated so many people poorly by replacing them just to keep following the same strategy that it wouldn’t surprise me that a thing as bad juju exists after all

@joosiepotsi I still think about it on a weekly basis ngl

[NAVI TheRock @TheRockEUW]

Right now at the World Cup, Cristiano Ronaldo is starting for Portugal at 41. Messi just became the oldest player in World Cup history to score a hat trick. Modri�� is still running a midfield at 40. Over in F1, Alonso is racing at 44 and Hamilton is still winning at 41.

Meanwhile in League, you turn 24-26 and people already act like you're done.

Here's the thing nobody wants to say: the "decline" argument doesn't even apply to us the way it does to real sports. Football and F1 are about sprint speed, reflexes, stamina, physical recovery, stuff that genuinely falls off with age, and these guys are STILL delivering past 40. League is decision-making, macro, reads, shotcalling. That's the part of the brain that gets better with experience, not worse.

Yeah, raw reaction time dips a little with age. Yes it can impact some situations, But at league this is not the end of the world. League at the top it's a knowledge and positioning game and much more than just reactions. A veteran who's seen 10,000 of these situations beats a mechanical god who's seen 100.

And it's not just mechanics we get wrong, it's mindset. The second a player hits a certain age, we(or player) decide he's given up, lost his hunger, doesn't love the game anymore. We treat motivation like it has an expiration date. The hunger doesn't die with age.

So if it's not age, what actually pushes guys out at 24-26?

One thing: the environment. The brutal intensity, the burnout, the unsustainable schedule, the lack of support. THAT'S what drains a player's effort and love for the game. When someone "stops caring," it's almost never their age, it's either themself or the system that burned them out and called it aging.

And that's the part that should make us want to try more about it, because it's fixable. You can't slow down aging. You CAN fix a broken environment/system/schedule.
We just choose not to, and then we blame the player and call them old.

I think we should start asking why we built a scene that burns through its most experienced players and then throws them away.

Sorry for the long post just some food for thought

@saadxyz9 @riotgames @Bwipo Everyone has the right to redemption and we as a society stopped ostracizing aeons ago. We should act like it more often
