In my 12th year playing League, I have reached my biggest achievement yet, getting Masters in SoloQ OTPing my favorite champ,Urgot. At Season start I just expected to get back to mid Diamond, but I shot past that very fast, ending with a 11 game streak shooting from D2 to Masters
Old God Urgot: Urgot's obscene aspiration to unshackle himself from his too-human constraints led him to fashion a new body, one profane with terrible power. When he was slain by the Eclipse Knights, he returned in the shape of mankind's greatest fear: the entropic rot of mortality, intent on miring the world of man in beautiful and eternal decay.
Dark gifts and twisted magic bring unmatched power to those who wield them.
Coven Janna, Coven Mel, Old God Anivia, and Old God Urgot are available in Patch 26.19.
Now that gambling is being talked a lot about in the League scene because of P*lymarket, I wanna confess something that I haven't said publicly before
I had A SEVERE gambling addiction
From 2018-2022 I would basically gamble every other day
The only money I used in my life at that time was for food, rent and gambling
I didn't really get any enjoyment out of anything else
And because of my undiagnosed ADHD, it most likely made the addiction so much worse
On the worst days, I would quite literally gamble away my rent money
It took my over a year after 2022 to FINALLY be fully out of the loop, and I have be free since
I know the struggles of the addiction, the depression, highs and lows and the money problems and not telling anyone about it
Hell, I told my parents last year I had a gambling problem
I am one of the lucky ones that got out, and it still took a lot of my time and money to do so
I am not trying to be a hall monitor for any company or individual taking these offers. I know the money that's in it. I honestly don't know if I would be the one also taking them if I didn't have these prior experiences
But I do, and I can never take these offers because of it
There are no customers in gambling, only victims
If you have problems with gambling, please, talk to people
That is the first step to making your life normal again
Since Pope Leo XIV mentioned this in encyclical, this means if your employer is pushing you to use AI, you can cite religious conserns as a reason to not use it at work
A Chinese court has ruled it illegal to replace human workers with AI purely for the sake of cost-cutting.
The court decided that companies hold a social responsibility to treat workers fairly and pay them what they're worth.

visits the pope → pope dies

flies to Hungary to prop up Orbán → Orbán loses in a landslide
