Stuff - Page 2

It's difficult to find enjoyment in playing video games for fun, after having competed for years and having worked in the professional gaming scene.

I think I'd have to play video games on the NES in order to just play a game for fun and not feel like I'm wasting my time. Computer games is out of the question.

The great debate:

Having fun playing video games versus wasting time.

It is difficult to save money making $13.50/hr. I know that I am squandering some of that every month. I don't want to do a budget on here but it might be wise to do a budget in general. Two that comes to mind is I eat out every day for lunch and I have subscriptions to stuff I don't even use.

im procrastinaitin here with u cuase i dont wanna do my taxes.

im not sure who is the dumbest bettwen u byunshinchul han n loco

mabe get a better paying source of income.

or ask ur millionaire dad for a startup loan.

Not blowing hours of salary on food every day and useless shit when you live with your parents would definitely be a good start. Gotta find joy, meaning and strength outside of consumption habits if you're going to make it out.

Anyway, I can't keep posting here and see the goldfish brained people's posts any longer than this. Take care dude.

locolo!! u so smart!!!

StarCraft is incredibly difficult. WC3:TFT made a lot of things easier on the player. My macro is pathetic and I don't even know the tech trees. Although it is fun cycling through a bunch of buildings making units I don't even know how to manage an army above 100. At least I can own the computer but I am embarrassed to try b.net. I feel like I am playing with crack cocaine though.

I think I may need to find a new game.

Get back to making music just for fun and not comparing myself to anyone. I do regret quitting the piano when I was a child. Whether it's a MIDI controller or a synthesizer knowing the piano would come in handy. Some time on the drums too. The guitar is my salvation. We can't go back and re-live our lives though. It may be late for me to become a multi-instrumentalist or maybe not. Time will tell. I'm still finding myself at 38. I have to try at the right things or else there is no hope. I do love gaming but StarCraft might be too big and too dangerous of a mountain to try and climb. I'm also old and feel like I will never be as fast as I was when I was 18. I watched the recent Bisu v Light match and it's just remarkable how great those guys are.

I tried battle.net lol. Just when I say I am going to quit I start shooting the crack into my veins. First two games they quit at the start. Then the third game I got raped. I saw Bisu was going fast Nexus on big maps so I did that but my build sucks. The other guy went 2 expansions and still had more units than me in the beginning although I don't think I ever went over 600 minerals. I had an expansion, 2 gateways and I wasn't on top of making zealots which would have stopped the zergling bust although he did luck out with the position spawn versus where I expanded. I was doomed from the start though. I am pretty sure 2 fast expand rapes my plan to expand once and tech. I don't think me personally can ever get enough units out and micro to stop the expansions and the tech gets over-run. The fact that he over-ran me with 2 expansions in early game just shows how much I suck. Gahhhh. No one cares. Time to play some guitar.

Doh. I played another game. This guy was worse for sure but I am terrible. I don't even know what to do in a PvP. My money and gas was soaring but I didn't know what to do. Didn't build enough gateways or tech. At least I got up to 180 units. Do you just hot key them to 1 through 7 or whatever and get good at that? I never needed more than 1-4 in WC3:TFT. I was winning the expansion battle but then I didn't know what to do with it. He caught up and a bunch of archons popped and absolutely raped my lower tier army.

Mania and a StarCraft addiction. Rough times.

U don't have mania. Ur just dumb.

Stop listening to loco-san.

D-League baby let's go!

I have no idea how to play this game T.T

Fuck StarCraft. I am hopeless and helpless at that game.

Time for Limbo. Loco isn't going to be happy. I like playing those games with a controller so I bought it for $9.99 on the Switch.

Limbo is great. It is kind of like Donkey Kong Country but better. More puzzly and sets a dark mood. *Chef's kiss*

I can't get enough of this damn StarCraft game. Back losing some more games. It's funny in WC3:TFT there was almost basically 1 build order regardless of what race you were playing. There was 1 gold mine. 5 workers. If a worker was idle it would show on the screen.

I just played someone that did absolutely nothing special. They stole my gas mine then just teched to a reaver drop and it was GG.

I don't even know A build order let alone probably the 100+ that were listed at liquidpedia.

How are the Baldur's Gate games?

StarCraft and battle.net are off my computer. Good riddance. It's back to Abelton Live 11. Burial is inspiring me to make some prog music.

I traded StarCraft for Sunshine Of Your Love on the guitar. I am more than happy with the trade. I still do want to find something to play on the computer that will put my keyboard and mouse to good use. The floor is open to suggestions.

I've hit the edge. The edge of a cliff with my tippy toes inching over the side. The abyss is staring me dead in the eyes. Limbo is getting F difficult. I like a challenge but not right now. I've played Sunshine Of Your Love + a piece of a Hendricks song like 5 million times today. I'm trying to get it to the point where I don't get it wrong. That is stronger than getting it right or mostly right (once). I am terrible at Ableton Live 11. I'm considering un-installing that again. I need a computer game that excites me. I am not sure if Baldur's Gate II excites me.

What excites me?

What excites you?

There has got to be more out there than pussy, money, power.
