[Nick Taylor @YarrowNT]

@Jonathan_Blow Just wanted to second Cocoon even though it's not a platformer, and Animal Well is great until the post game slog, but everything up to the credits is 10/10 like seriously perfect

i duo queue with my ex every couple months

we don't talk about it. it just happens.

2am. both online. she sends the invite. or i do. neither of us acknowledges who sent it first.

the discord call is 90% silence. no "how have you been." no "seeing anyone?" just pings and callouts.

"flash down."
"jungler bot."
"nice."

that's the whole conversation.

here's the thing though.

our 2v2 is still nasty.

she knows when i'm going in before i ping it.

i know her cooldowns better than the last 6 supports i've played with.

we don't communicate because we don't need to.

400 games of muscle memory doesn't give a fuck about relationship status.

we'll go 7-2 together. maybe 8-1 on a good night.

then it's "gg" and we're offline for another 2 months.

no follow up. no "we should do this more often." nothing.

because we both know what this is.

it's not friendship.

it's not rekindling.

it's not even nostalgia.

it's that neither of us has found better synergy.

and that's the uncomfortable truth about duo queue.

you can break up with someone and still be stuck with them competitively.

you can hate someone's guts and still combo perfectly in a teamfight.

you can move on emotionally and still be hardstuck trying to replace what you had in game.

some people have exes they still fuck.

i have an ex i still duo with.

honestly not sure which is worse.

study the saskio way

@crabbyman223 Lot of power in meditating on what needs to be done at the start of the day. It's about introducing structure, and maintaining discipline. Both can be very easy to lose focus of; we then risk the subconscious mind deciding for us, without ever playing an active part in it.

[Nick Taylor @YarrowNT]

@crabbyman223 Good luck. Authenticity's always best for these kind of videos, and that's always what you bring, so no matter the message I know you'll nail the tone.

@crabbyman223 The sentence right before that: "Perfection is a handful of pennies when wholeness is a chest filled with gold and miracles." also really resonates with me. Extremely powerful, I've been after the pennies lately for sure.

[Nick Taylor @YarrowNT]

@crabbyman223 I used to tell myself the early game doesn't matter as much in modern Dota to protect the mental from bad starts. But playing Pos 1 is a race against every single enemy core to top NW. If you fall behind, you may never catch up. Tying it to hero identity is powerful too

@crabbydota2 🔥🔥🔥

[Nick Taylor @YarrowNT]

@crabbydota2 Yoooooo the shoutout 🙌 The most helpful concepts always seem simple, but their broad applications make them so complex. Gonna keep meditating on this one

@sheepsticked Since I see most of the other roles already listed, just wanted to say the scariest carries imo are Templar Assassin, Weaver, Chaos Knight, Wraith King, and Lifestealer (still lol).

Also huge shoutout to Dying Light Phoenix that character is nuts in any role rn

[Nick Taylor @YarrowNT]

@sheepsticked @HeyHokie Eternal Shroud is still extremely good despite the -5% MR nerf, notably!

[Nick Taylor @YarrowNT]

I played the Battle Marathon 100+ times at the end of Renegade Platinum with this team. Stopping at 25 Master Balls (the prize for winning) after getting consistent enough to complete each new attempt now. Thank you @Drayano60 for my favorite Pokémon experience ever! I loved it<3
