I was talking with some online friends a few hours ago and I was told I act like a young teenager and if I was an adult acting like I am I would seem like Im trying to be “hip with the kids”. I didnt really realize how much this hurt my feelings until It was like an hour later and I was still thinking about it. I am a teenager, 16, but I feel like my personality’s a problem because I usually just get ignored in online settings, rarely finding people who will interact with me on a regular basis. I dont act the way I do in real life like how I do online, irl im mostly just quite and respectful but I used to think all the outgoing behavior my lack of social skills in real life prevent me from acting on liked to rear its head online, But now based on alot of different interactions ive had online leads me to believe Im just annoying. I know its not good to let strangers online be a judge of character, and Ive always made it a point to never let what other people think of me get in the way of being myself, but its also the fact that I act like myself online, so if im being told Im annoying doesn’t that mean my true personality is annoying?Like I get people my age tend to be annoying in General to people but I don’t wanna be that. I wanna be likable

I decided a while back ago making games would be a nice hobby to have, and I already have a bunch of ideas for them but the problem is I have no idea where to start. I wanna use unity and heard they have a tutorial, but i also wanted to know would it be more fun to learn as I build stuff or learn deliberately? I don’t care if its in-efficient or anything, I just wanted to know which way of learning would be more worth my while as an experience, because im not sure like if learning as I go would put me through so many roadblocks it would stop being interesting or, if learning and then trying to build something would be really boring? Im not trying to pursue a career with this, unless theres some application for c# in engineering i doubt ill be using it for anything other than a passion project. And if you have any extra advice I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks!

I only recently got a computer so I'm kinda new to this stuff, but I downloaded roblox, added it into my steam library manually and decided I wanted to simply add gyro to my gameplay. I tried and I'm pretty sure since roblox isn't a steam original app, the gyro to stick controls don't work, so I'm forced to translate my controller fully to basically be a keyboard. But the problem is that roblox keeps trying to forcefully reconnect the controller with every input, so it repeatedly switches from keyboard to controller and I have no idea how to disable the controller inputs. The closest I got to what I wanted was the mouse moving around but it wouldn't move the camera, I looked it up and it was the camera lock thing that roblox has, so after tinkering I got the gyro to work, but it only works while I'm holding down the button for right click, And the game stutters every time it switches so it pretty much emulates some moderate lag. All I want is gyro on the camera along with the regular controls. I'm sure it's fine for regular steam games but Im broke and roblox is the only thing I wanna play right now. I'm using a third party switch pro controller if it matters

Before I say anything I just wanna say this is pretty much a rant of pent up frustration, so Bear with me. Anyways Ive been trying to reach top 500 In x rank for, if you wanna be technical about it, around a year. When it started I had been playing the game for a while and finally wanted
To try and get to top 500 and get the badge as a token of my skill and experience.

Now despite that fact for some reason these both times I subconsciously wait till like the last two weeks to rank up because I think I thought if I do it last second there's less of a chance that I'll get kicked outta top 500 before the season ends? I don't know, anyways I try my hand at x, failed and decided to dedicate my time playing splatoon to getting better. I spend a total of around two seasons trying to actively improve before this season. I've spent the last week grinding, and just now have up on getting the power I needed in three separate modes. Before today I had 2200 in zones, 2000 in clams and 2100 in rainmaker. Now pretty much all of them are below 2000.

It's Because every single game I try to play it's either my entire team takes turns charging into the enemy turf and dying, or we hold them at a stalemate for the entire game and refuse to push. Or we push once just for the enemy team to swoop in last second to steal the lead. It's always something, and I've noted Im the common denominator, the only common factor in all of these losses is me.

But how do I keep justifying that logic when I can clearly point out what my team did wrong? How can I justify that logic when I try my absolute best, get positive stats 80% of the time and know I was actively thinking about strategy mid game?? How do I as a single person supposed to improve so much that I can carry a whole team? I'm not the best at the game. Not even close, but I'm pretty damn confident that I at least deserve to be at top 500.

I'm confident enough in my skill to say that if my team knows even a fraction of what they are doing, We can pull home a win. Then I go into these games and feel like shit coming out because Im starting to doubt my own skill. I keep tilting in mind, I keep map rotations in mind, I keep weapon picks for modes in mind but yet no matter what I do it always seems like I'm one step short. I'm just sick of working so hard just to get matched up with people who don't even know enough basic game sense to not stand right by the rainmaker shield to not die instantly and put us at an instant disadvantage, or to not charge forward and die when our team is two down. I'm in a constant loop of doubting my own skill and being confident enough in my abilities to knowingly point out what my team did wrong and be able to determine that's the reason we lost.

I Love this game SO MUCH, And I've spent over a thousand hours minimum playing, over half of that trying to actively improve, not to even mention the youtube videos and tutorials I've watched, but it feels pointless when I go into A set to get cucked by little Timmy that just got s+ for the first time. Also personal complaint IF YOU HAVE A SHARKING WEAPON ON YOUR TEAM PAINT FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, WE CANNOT DO SHIT BESIDES SPAM SUBS IF WE CANT GET CLOSE TO ANYBODY. (you should be painting period but it's more prominent if not doing so completely shuts down one of your teammates)
