@notkosta5@thebradhop Media volume is alarm volume. If you watch videos at night and lower volume, alarm will be at low volume. Had to learn that the hard way
league of legends will humble you faster than life ever could
i watched a 35 year old man cry on a coaching call last month.
not because of the game. because of what the game showed him.
he's a senior manager at some tech company. makes $180k. has a wife.
has kids. everyone in his life tells him he's smart. successful.
"got it figured out"
he's been hardstuck silver for 6 years.
six fucking years.
in real life he can hide. blame the economy. blame his team at work.
blame circumstances. tell himself stories about why he deserves more.
league doesn't give a fuck about his salary.
the game gave him a number. that number said "you're silver" and no amount of corporate titles changes that.
that's what broke him.
not the losses. the mirror.
here's what nobody tells you about this game.
it's the only place left in modern life where you can't bullshit yourself.
your job? you can coast for years and nobody notices.
your relationships? you can blame the other person forever.
your fitness? you can tell yourself "i'm just big boned" until you die.
league? you queue up. you play. you get a rank.
that rank is a blood test for your soul.
your decisions. your mechanics. your mental.
your ability to stay calm when 4 strangers are inting your dreams.
it's all measured. quantified. ranked against millions of other players.
and you can't lie about it.
i've seen doctors who save lives get gapped by 16 year olds who skip school to play.
i've seen lawyers who argue million dollar cases get mental boomed by a mastery 7 lux missing every Q.
i've seen CEOs who run companies rage quit after getting solo killed by a vayne top.
the game doesn't care who you are out there.
in here you're just another player getting humbled.
most people spend their entire lives avoiding mirrors.
they build careers where no one questions them.
relationships where no one challenges them.
friend groups where everyone agrees with them.
league players get humbled every fucking day.
you think you're good? someone better shits on you. humbled.
you think you've improved? you hit masters and lose 3 in a row. humbled.
you blame your team? you watch the replay and see 20 mistakes you made. humbled.
over and over. daily. the game dragging you back to reality.
that's not a curse. that's the most valuable thing you'll ever experience.
because humbling is just learning with extra pain.
the 35 year old manager? he hit gold last week.
not because he got better at league.
because he finally stopped lying to himself.
the game will humble you faster than life ever could.

@MAGAUSANYC@adelianurfallah I did it with my dad when I was younger. He’s mechanically inclined so he’s pretty brave, but it was surprisingly easy if you have a gentle touch and can take the dash plastics apart without breaking them
@LeadingReport I hope people realize this just means more profit for investors, and more incentive to hold and rent out properties forever. Now if it only implies to primary residence, then we’re on to something
@dian_arifiya I mean damn, can I wait at least 10 seconds to see if he comes up by himself before getting all my clothes wet and jumping in a tank with aggressive fish
@tawnniee A lot of men disagreeing here, but only one hot girl from my Miami private school world has ended up with a man more than like 3 years older than her, out of the hundreds I knew and follow on social media
