Glad I'm not the only one who had this exact same thing happened. I know how that feels, OP. And Chill, I totally relate to your story. It revived a memory I didn't want to be recalled xD
sepukku is when you stab yourself in the stomach with a small knife and your best friend behead you with a traditional japanese katana, not jumping off a bridge

I know but what if I stab myself mid-air while jumping of a bridge to make sure.

Now we are getting to the base of TvP....
So TvP from a terran point of view is stabbing yourself while jumping off a bridge
Rather than rushing to seppuku, young warrior, heed the words of sensei Yamamoto Tsunetomo, who says:
A certain swordsman in his declining years said the following: In one's life, there are levels in the pursuit of study. In the lowest level, a person studies but nothing comes of it, and he feels that both he and others are unskillful. At this point he is worthless. In the middle level he is still useless but is aware of his own insufficiencies and can also see the insufficiencies in others. In a higher level he has pride concerning his own ability, rejoices in praise from others, and laments the lack of ability in his fellows. This man has worth. In the highest level a man has the look of knowing nothing.
These are the levels in general. But there is one transcending level, and this is the most excellent of all. This person is aware of the endlessness of entering deeply into a certain Way and never thinks of himself as having finished. He truly knows his own insufficiencies and never in his whole life thinks that he has succeeded. He has no thoughts of pride but with self-abasement knows the Way to the end. It is said that Mastery Yagyu once remarked, "I do not know the way to defeat others, but the way to defeat myself."
Throughout your life advance daily, becoming more skillful than yesterday, more skillful than today. This is never-ending.

TuElite, Kefka's right. I died to a worker rush once on Metalopolis all because I decided to make 3 drones instead of 3 sets of zerglings when my pool popped and we were dancing in my main. Why? Because my brain went shot and I thought somehow that drones would be a better choice over lings. GG
When I started playing I lost to a player who floated their first CC to the island on Scrap Station and proceeded to turtle up to mass BCs off 1 base because I was too shitty to make more than 1.5 bases worth of production while I had every base on the map, and tried to stick to the marine tank play that I'd seen in the GSL.
