ÜBER MICRO

Getting Über Micro and having uber micro is something that I think, every gamer wants. No matter what kind of gamer you are, FPS, RTS, 3PS, whatever, you're going to need to have to have Über Micro. It makes not only the games you play more fun, after a certain point it becomes the REASON you play games.

A wise sage once said you don't beat anything unless there's another PLAYER on the other end. And to an extent I would agree. Well you might say "maniac1122, what about single player games!?" I would say "okay you have a point". But still even in single player games your mechanics are going to improve as you learn more things in the game and are challenged more by more game-play elements.

My struggle right now isn't do you have Über Micro or how to improve it, it's how to best UTILIZE it. I mean should i just be like larva and stream myself sleeping next to my computer? I might drop in viewers but at least people will know i'm PASSIONATE about my CRAFT. At least then I will know when and where the rats that have been dumping by my couch are!

I'll talk more later in this blog post about other people but basically I think it comes down to time MANAGEMENT. We really all can be such better people if we all make better use of our TIME.




This is a picture of something I scribbled in my 5th grade yearbook. This was in ~2005. It's been 14 years and basically this just shows you that the idea of having Über Micro has been a big deal to me for a very long time. And now that I have it, the question is... what do I do with it?


CONQUERING THE ABYSS

So it's been a month and a half since i wrote the last blog post and a lot has happened. I got off of top 100 techies. I dropped to 1k behavior score. I got banned again for 7 days on cs:go today. But I don't want to tell you guys all about that. Fact of the matter is I know what I did wrong and that i'm sorry about it. And the simple way to fix these problems is to only play solo queue. These bad things only happen to me when i'm playing with my "friends" but as of late I've been accepting all sorts of nasty people as steam friends.

I suppose I need to find a healthy medium.

Back in 2016 I was doing the same thing. I had Über Micro. I would wake up, go to the coffee shop, walk/run (most of the time it was Run), get home, immediately queue for competitive TF2. I'd try to win 1/2 games of that, immediately followed by 1/2 games of CS:GO competitive. I never got a competitive cool-down for vote-kicks like I do now in 2016, but I also never accepted friend requests. Never played with other people, and never let other people tilt me. After CS:GO i'd usually play dota 2 until I passed out (3 or 4 AM) and then I would repeat.

This was back before I really cared about streaming, making friends, or anything like that. My idea as I sat on top of my 250 pending friend requests (most of which have removed me anyways) was that I was BETTER than all of those people who requested me, that's why I had to CARRY them in solo Q, so what's the point of accepting friend requests who I know i'm BETTER than?

CLOWN CULTURE

Maybe I've been brain washed by the internet or maybe it's really happening but I feel as though we live in a literal clown culture.

For instance, my teacher on Monday spent the first 20 minutes asking the two kids in the back who I was talking to before class started asking them about the new "Game of Thrones" episode and what "deep cultural observations" can be made from that. Like what the F*^&? I know what you're thinking "maniac1122, TLO had his username as GameOfDrones and he's my Zerg hero!". To that I would say, sure game of thrones and TLO are great and all, but people pay GOOD MONEY to be in these classes, and this guy (who I won't name) should be ashamed to put grown adults in a classroom and subject them to this.

Modern day clowns wear plaid shirts and glasses and work in hospitals, schools, dentist offices, and other places. It perplexes me how people can have a room full of fully grown adults and chat with them about their synopsis of game of thrones, and then after words hand them college credits. Unreal.
