u/Maxamage

I go back and look at my old clips and my aim was worse but the snappiness was there. all of a sudden the connection between my eyes and hand just broke or something one day and i couldn’t track with my eyes anymore

I started losing targets in fights and stuff. That satisfying magnetic feeling was just gone

My actual mouse skill is better and still improving but my application is gone, just disappeared one day

Aim training is getting so unsatisfying idk what else to do. Like im still beating pbs daily but in the game i can’t use my eyes to aim if that makes any sense.

Ik i posted something similar before but i’ve tried everything and its only really gotten a little better since then

I didn’t realize it was tinnitus and thought the ringing was something everyone had

I only noticed when it stopped a few times completely and i hated how silent it was

Is this normal?

Im curious as to what people who have used both think

Grace pushed her phone toward him. Darren pulled back from it, annoyed at having anything in his face at all, let alone a bright rectangle.

D: “What to do….no Grace, what is this crap!”

G: “Just trust me and read it Dar-”

D: “Stop deflecting. You always do this. I bring up an- an actual concern and you just…ignore it! First it was a phone call that you faked, then the cheese thing and now this….fake horror garbage!”

He wasn’t NOT finished…

D: “Shoving a Reddit horror post probably some…some bored teenager made into my face isn’t going to cut it this time. Is that a- there’s even a fucking typo in there! Two if’s! Look, just cut the bullshit and at least apologize for the fact that last Tuesday you-”

G: “Let me expla-”

D: “Grace we are having this conversation right now.”

G: “Yes, yes we are…will!” She held up a hand, her voice dropping volume, to something simultaneously steady and full of contained energy. “Later….. we will talk about this later. I mean it.”

His eyes fell to the screen and He read a line for himself.

D: “‘Don’t look up at the ceiling fan if….’ Who looks up at ceiling fans anyway….”

G: “For now just…look at the post.” Her voice begins to shake…. “This thing has my- my full fucking name here. And my address.”

He took the phone.

D: “…”

D: “…the fuck.”

G: “I told you…this shit is real Darren! I’m not making it up. I- I don’t know how…who is this guy….Maxamage….How does he know our names.”

He went very still

D: “…our?”

Then he took a sharp breath and closed his eyes for a brief second, then opened them

D: “Alright…no. Now…this, this got me for a second…the whole name and address thing…the new account…”

D: “Which one of your friends did you get to-”

G: “Darren.”

D: “-Do this because if it’s Gabe I swear to god-”

G: “The fan’s spinning…the…um, wrong way.”

He looked up at the ceiling.

D: “And so what…” It came out like a question. Not like the taunt he’d meant it to be…

Grace’s eyes were still on the screen.

G: “Rule 1…don’t turn it off…”

D: “Okay, so we just…easy enough. What’s the…uh, next one.”

G: “‘If it slows down, leave your home. If it speeds up, hide immediately. You won’t have enough time to leave….’”

D: “Fans speed up and slow down all the fucking time how do you even-”

The fan went violent and the air in the room went violent. The sudden speed increase made Grace physically startled and Darrens heart fell to the bottom floor…

D: “Fuck!”

Darren’s eyes looked over the apartment rapidly.

D: “Go to…the bathroom. I’ll be under the bed.”

G: “Darren-”

D: “Just go! We can talk later, like you said!”

1. note the location. Public space, lots of people around, continue the conversation with caution…. Now if you’re out at some isolated area, like a park at night, just the two of you, and it finishes your sentence, it already knows its cover is blown and it knows what you’re about to do next. You just have to do it better. Or in this case, faster. Run for your life. It may try to continue the conversation. Ignore it and prepare to bolt

2. think about what it said and what you were going to say. Was the ending right? Wrong? If it was right like on the dot you’re dealing with an experienced one. Good luck. If it was wrong, it’s a newbie. But don’t get comfortable.

3. Do not say “yeah, exactly.” Do not laugh it off. Do not attempt ANYTHING similar (with one exception). I know that’s what you do. Thats what EVERYONE tries to do. Don’t try to fix a conversation with this thing.

4. Try to remember the beginning of the sentence. What were you about to say? This matters. If it was something private something you hadn’t told anyone else make a note of that privately and do not make a face.

5. The exception, finish a different sentence out loud. Something meaningless. “I was just gonna say I might get a coffee.” Watch if it relaxes. You might be able to trick it into letting it think that you were the one who was wrong.

6. If you are in a public space and do not need to run for your life, end the conversation soon but not immediately. Two or three exchanges. Then a reason to leave. The reason does not need to be believable. It needs to be said out loud, in front of it, so it has to let you go. Just any reason. Do not just walk away.

So as of 3 days ago i just can’t aim anymore and i promise it’s not placebo

I was pushing diamond 2 on soldier fairly easily getting back into overwatch again and just diffing everybody

But i dropped to plat 1 because i just couldn’t aim anymore. The magnetic feeling you get when your eyes track and enemy was just gone

I was going to chalk it up to a bad day but it’s been like 3 days

My viscose benches are still going up while not pushing them as hard. It just feels like I can’t aim with my eyes anymore all of a sudden

Do i need to swap routines or something what is going on 😭

Right. You got out of bed at 3am probably grabbed a drink, some food, took a shit. Whatever.

And now you come back to yourself in bed….even though you’re right here reading this.

No you are not dreaming and no you haven’t gone insane….But you will be dead if you don’t follow these steps….

1. Secure the Perimeter
   QUIETLY Shut the bedroom door immediately, but do not leave the room. They operate as a pair. The entity currently in your bed assumes you are still gone, while the one waiting in the hallway is actively waiting for the signal that you are gone from this room now that they’re here. Do not step outside for any reason.

2. Neutralize the Entity in Bed
   You have a tight three-minute window to eliminate the creature in your bed. In its current state, its strength mirrors your own, but you have the crucial advantage of surprise and the opportunity to arm yourself first. Destroy it quietly and conceal the body in a well hidden spot as this will be important later. It will resist, so make your moves fast and silent enough to take its place before the hallway partner detects anything amiss.

3. Evade the Partner
   Once you occupy its spot in the bed, hold your breath the moment the partner enters. The door is going to slam open. Remain completely still. Its face will be above yours. Remain completely still. Wait until the exact second it tries to speak then unleash everything you have straight into its mouth and sprint out of the house. It will be right on you and absolutely angry, but it will give up the chase once your out the house

4. The Return
   When you eventually come back home, verify that the house is truly empty. If your concealment job was sloppy, the partner may have discovered the remains. If that happened... it’s going to make things deeply personal, and it is almost certainly still waiting inside for you. If you hid it well enough, the remaining creature should be gone, having left the premises to search for its partner.
