Hot take: Don't FF for toxic teammates. Make them play out the loss.

If your teammate is being toxic for 0 reason and not co operating when being asked to, in my opinion you should not FFT, but instead stay half afk and stay in the game till the end of the clock.

Sure you might lose MMR and waste time, but people can learn not to be toxic and they might rage enough to the point where they hop off the game.

That's just my take on it, if you are toxic, I will not be playing and wasting our time.

I learnt how to wall dash and did this for the first time!

I just learnt how to do this yesterday, but I struggle a lot with consistency and it's hard to do on the opposite wall, any advice?

Hot take: Habibti should be getting Iceman treatment

Might be a bit bias cus RNB is one of my favorite genres ever, but in my opinion depending on the mood, Habibti can easily be ranked higher than Iceman.

Songs like prioritizing , classic, gen 5, WNBA, slap the city, fortworth are masterpieces and the production is amazing.

In my opinion both iceman and habibti are interchangeable, they can be better than each other depending on the mood. but god damn does habibti have some of the coolest late night drive songs ever

I want to stop catfishing, but it's hard to let go all the relationships I've made

It took me a lot of courage to even write this, but I started catfishing in 2024, mainly because I was scared of being doxxed or people finding out who I was from my online profile. On top of that I was very insecure at the time, so I made a whole different online persona, changed everything other than my gender and I started using that to make friends.

I made a lot of friends and they all know me as the online persona, not my real life one. I even found a person who wants to date and get closer to me. She has only seen like half of my face, because I am just not who I say I am, and I have to edit pictures in order to even closely resemble my online self. It's fucked and I wish I never did this.

I made this amazing friend group of 5 who are literally as close to me as my siblings. The problem is, I have carried this online persona for way too long, and I've been feeling the guilt for a while. I can't own up because I'm probably gonna lose those friendships and I feel like it wouldn't end well. You might argue 'well if they are that close to you, they'd understand', but I don't feel that way. I feel like if I were to own up I'd lose basically everything and I'd have to restart anyway.

Also I don't want to own up for other reasons I don't really wanna say, but it would bring me a lot of shame and I don't want to go through that.

I think the best way for me to go about this is just to let everything go and delete my account. Start off fresh as myself and not lead anyone else on as I have been. It's just so hard to let go.

Whenever I'm about to delete my account I always think about the memories I've made over the 2 years, the friendships, closeness, inside jokes etc that I've made and it pulls me back to stay. The only thing that reassures me is that people fell in love with my personality, not my looks. It just sucks because if I was just honest about who I was from the start, I could have made some of the best friendships and relationships in my life, but now I have to throw it away, and will I ever find those relationships again? I don't think so.

I just feel horible and wish I had never done this. I don't know what to do. I feel like the connections I've made now will never be replicated again, but maybe I'm overthinking, any advice?

Both of my monitor turns off, and PC bricks during gameplay

This only happens on Rocket League, no other applications/games do this.

It happens at a very random time, both of my monitors will suddenly turn black, my PC fans spin on the highest setting, CPU temperatures go from 60C -----> 90C instantly, my audio cuts out, and my PC is not useable. The only way to fix it is by holding the power button to force shut it off.

This has happened for a while (again, only on Rocket League), and it can either get better or worse with nvidia driver updates.

The previous one for me was flawless, it did not happen at all, but the one before that and my current one seem to do it quite a lot. I don't really wanna roll back because I prefer being on the newest drivers.

I don't have any other issue with my PC and everything else works fine, it's just this specific bug which I am so confused about. Any idea how to fix it? I've tried DDU, reinstalling game, verifying files, installing drivers, updating bios, updating windows, nothing fixes it.

Why does it suddenly get worse after a gpu driver?

How important are A Levels?

I just finished my A-Levels, I don't think I got what I should have - I ended up skipping half of the year due to mental and my school designated me therapy sessions.

I feel like I got Distinction in BTEC IT, C,D / D,D in my actual A Levels.

I wanna look ingot degree apprenticeships / level 4 apprenticeships for next year. Is it still possible to get into one of these?

Has anyone gotten into sim racing without being interested in cars?

Disclaimer: I have purchase anxiety

I don't have the most interest in cars in real life. Haven't watched a race, not studied cars, I just have been interested in cars/races in general.

Since FH6 came out I've been wanting to buy a rig and just TRY racing, cruising, learn how to drive in general. But it's kind of pricey at £260 for the Moza R3. I want to try it for a week or so and if I don't like it, I can return it.

my question is:

has anyone who didn't have an interest in racing/cars in general gotten addicted to sim racing? I feel like it would bring me a lot of peace of mind haha. I don't want to buy this just to return it, and I kind of want it to be a hobby I have alongside gamin g

I can only stay disciplined for 1–2 weeks before everything falls apart

Everytime I try to improve my life (sleep, workouts, productivity, diet etc) everything goes amazingly for 1,2 weeks, after that, I fall off completely.

Like last month for example, 11PM-6AM schedule everyday, eating great, working out consistently, doing work consistently for a solid 2 weeks.

Then I get distracted by my online friends, we have different timezones so usually we can only really hang out at like 10PM onwards for me.

Because of me wanting to be with them to talk/gaming, 11PM turns into 1AM, then 3AM, then 5AM, then 8AM, all in the span of a week. When my sleep is ruined and upside down, everything I was improving goes back down.

So that means after I ruined my sleep, I don't feel motivated to work out anymore because you make the best gains when you get good sleep, and because now I'm not, I feel like working out does nothing. Same thing goes with my diet, productivity and everything else.

This fall off isn't JUST because of my online friends, I have other distractions too, but this is the distraction which caused me to decline most recently.

So, how can I balance spending time with friends/lessen distraction and keep being consistent?

I find it hella comforting knowing we're all thinking the same things and being delusional af thinking something will drop. Like november 22nd has been an ongoing meme for a while now and it's so hilarious how whenever we see a tweet from abel we just automatically tweak out. some ppl might find it annoying but it's honestly heartwarming for no reason haha
