Dad lives somewhere where watch enthusiast communities are scarce. I got curious what such communities would think of his collection?

One More Game: Why Tilt Turns Losses Into Losing Streaks
Ever lose a few Brawl Stars matches, lock in harder, and somehow play worse?
Frustration can kick up your sympathetic nervous system, the “fight or flight” response. You feel more switched on, but stress can make it harder to hold information in mind and adapt your decisions. Feeling more intense doesn’t necessarily mean playing better. (Research)
In Brawl terms, that can look like tunnel vision: chasing the guy who killed you, forgetting your ammo, or missing the objective because you need that kill. That’s an illustration of the psychology, not a finding from a Brawl-specific study.
Then comes “I’m not stopping until I win.” Suddenly, the next match has to fix your mood too.
A losing streak alone doesn’t prove you’re tilted. But when you start revenge-chasing and instantly requeuing, take a breather. Your next match doesn’t owe you the trophies from your last five.

Putting the post-2020 shift into words.
I finally feel able to put the post-2020 shift everyone seems to feel into legible sentences.
Before 2020, we felt grounded; now, I think we mostly feel like floating ghosts.
My hypothesis is that the world is moving through events at such speed, while everyone inhabits their own detached little niche, that we can no longer absorb the full weight of major events—neither in time nor collectively. Before 2020, major events took their sweet-ass time to settle and for society to react. Now, so much happens, only to be immediately displaced by something else and forgotten.

In a bit of a bit of stressful life situation and wanted suggestions for a fun brawler to buy and kill time with
just got into the game like a week ago, liked shiny looks and mechanics of Sirius and dropped some $25 for it, grinded it to full stats in a couple days and then it got nerfed hours later lmao
But I’m in a bit of a depressing life situation so got another 1000 gems and some 10k coins and want a game to take my mind off stuff,
Any suggestions for a brawler to get that’s fun, kinda OP for me to mess around with for a while?
