Splinter cell came out in like 2002 and you could shoot out lights to manage visibility and there was a spatial sound system so you couldn’t just walk up behind every enemy. Every sound you made had a potential consequence. Games don’t do that now. They remove consequences.
Hey everyone
To be honest, the past couple months have been really tough for me mentally. My self esteem has been at an all time low for myself and really don’t know why. I have been struggling hard with working on music, and just being excited about new things. Maybe im burnt out from my last album, which I’m extremely proud of, but it was definitely a lot of work, but again I really don’t know what has made me feel like this.
I haven’t been posting on socials too much because I’m just trying to better myself as a person outside of music, removing bad habits, and trying to just feel better about myself that way rather than doing the same thing over and over everyday like I have been doing. Trying to set a routine for myself and find some balance in my life, while also living this hectic life of touring, which I will NEVER take for granted.
I started therapy a couple weeks ago and it’s been really helping myself feel a little more grounded and feel like im gaining some control back on my life and motivation, but it definitely will take a lot of work.
I really just want to say that if you are struggling with mental health, this is a reminder that you’re NOT alone, and it’s so important to take those first steps into taking care of yourself first, and make those sacrifices to better yourself. It was so hard for me to even admit this, or to even start the steps to take care of myself.
So I just wanted to say, hey I’m still here, and excited for these upcoming shows and festivals I have, and that I am going to try the best I can to be more present on socials and pop in once in a while, but just wanted to be open a little bit and hopefully this resonates with someone else that is also going through similar things.
Really appreciate all the love and support
Matt
Your IP is just one clue. Websites also check your browser’s timezone (for example, "Asia/Kolkata" doesn’t match a German IP), your Accept-Language header (en-IN can reveal your region), and your DNS resolver, which often still points to your home internet provider instead of your VPN.
WebRTC is one of the trickiest issues. This browser feature, used for video calls, can reveal your real IP address straight from your computer, skipping the VPN entirely. A website only needs a few lines of JavaScript to do this. Ask if your VPN provider blocks this by default?
If you’re logged in to your account, the VPN can’t help. Services like Netflix, Google, and Spotify focus on your account details, not your IP address. Your registered country is saved in their database, not tied to your connection. So, using a VPN while logged in doesn’t really make a difference.
A VPN changes your IP, but your timezone, language settings, DNS, WebRTC, browser fingerprint, and login details usually stay the same.
