@CoachFHM How about the reverse? If I gained for several consecutive years, is is worth doing an 6 month extended cut with periodic maintenance blocks?

The last "modern" game I ever played was World of Warcraft, from 2004 to 2010, the end of Wrath of the Lich King.

I know there were MMORPGs before (and after), but when the original World of Warcraft launched in 2004, it felt closer to "perfection" than any game before or since.

Nothing has changed that feeling to this day. What changed was the game itself after the death of Arthas in Wrath of the Lich King.

The original WoW felt so vast, so open, and so alive - it’s hard to put into words. There was no hardcore min-maxing yet (at least not to the same degree as today), no speedruns, no parsing record chasing, no gear score requirements in the early days. If you were really pro, you connected with friends or guildies via Ventrilo.

There was no WeakAuras, no threat meters, no Questie guiding you.

You quickly learned that even the most expensive vendor gear was trash compared to quest rewards.

You had to walk from Elwynn Forest to the Redridge Mountains - and if you dared peek across the river into Duskwood, the spiders there would one-shot you (I’m sure we all did that).

The first time you equipped a green item! The first time you swapped it for a blue! And the envy of seeing someone with purple gear, omg!

Saving up for a mount and the catharsis when you could finally afford one!

The first time you entered the Deadmines, the foolish solo attempt on Hogger only to realize instantly it was a death sentence.

Stepping into Alterac Valley battlegrounds and being in awe of its size.

Wiping on Ragnaros again and again before finally killing him, and the sheer joy of celebrating together with your guild.

The excitement and awe of entering Naxxramas for the first time, struggling to down Patchwerk, the teamwork, the slow progress, seeing Sapphiron dead on the frozen ground and being moments away from Kel’Thuzad… so close!

It truly felt like a massive world - not just in size, but in stories. The announcement of The Burning Crusade and the Dark Portal appearing in the Blasted Lands; you couldn’t wait to walk through it.

Then the ultimate climax when Wrath of the Lich King launched, eventually facing the most badass character in gaming history: Arthas.

World of Warcraft was magic. Until it wasn’t. Just like Blizzard was once the greatest game studio of all - until they weren’t.

Warcraft used to be tough, glorious and epic... now it's pink Disney fluff.

Nothing has recaptured that feeling from 2004 to 2010. I wonder if anything ever will again.

I sometimes watch the trailer of the original WoW. It still hits close to the (gamer) heart…

@DeeZe Playing league in the big 2026 is crazy work ��

The fewer things you focus on, the more violently you can progress, scale, and evolve in them.

Most people have their fingers in way too many pies, and as a result, end up being mediocre in all of them.

Imagine how much better off you’d be if you instead chose ONE, or maximum, TWO, things to devote your all toward?

Nobody put it better than Steve Jobs:
“Focus is not about saying yes to the thing you have to focus on.

Focus means saying no to the 100 other good ideas.”

KEY WORD: 100 other GOOD ideas
Not shit ones. GOOD ones.

Wisdom is knowing which opportunities are worth pursuing to the exclusion of the rest.

[フ ォ リ ス @follis_]

Don't be the guy who had all the potential, but none of the drive

Never achieving anything because you chose comfort over progress

Push into the unknown

Bet on yourself while you still have time

And find out what you're actually capable of

Because most people never will

[DR22 Ω 🪬🎭 @DejaRu22]

Progress is more than chasing higher highs. Because you won’t be continually hitting peak after peak every single day. Only amateurs are setting PRs on every attempt.

Once no longer a noob, the best progress is measured in consistently hitting higher lows.

Do you understand?

My main thesis for the reason bitcoin is about go up is this:

No late shorts are allowed to get away with it. Larry Fink will run you over.

I've learned this hard way. You landed a good short on a 7-10% move? Take cover before it's too late.

[Jake @JakeyNFT]

@rektober Yup, nuke that

One of my favorite moments of live performance right here.

It's time for $ETH to send. $ETH / $BTC ratio probably bottomed out for this cycle.

The tides have shifted. Steady lads.
