"Attitude determines your altitude"

Bahamut Z3R0··3 votes·873 views

I'm 32 yrs old. I've been playing this game off and on for about 2yrs. I had a wood-grain Atari; An IBM Tandy with 256k RAM that I had to write QBASIC code in to play games that I found in magazines (that computer cost about $2k back then which is like $4.5k now) , Wolfenstein 3D and everything since. If I really wanted to, I could find out where you live, check out your porn collection and take out some credit cards in your name. I'm way past that, tho. I have more important things to do. All I'm saying is, I ain't new to this shit. I just don't have the time, or even the will, to practice this game like it's a fucking professional sport. Most people just take it wayyyy too seriously. Bitching and moaning, blaming their teammate for everything, and whatdoes that accomplish? Except putting yourself in a bad mood... Win or lose, you're supposed to be having fun. As well as you can play, some things are pure chance, rolling the dice. Especially late game.

Regardless of skill, or how the game is going, your team's attitude can change everything. More than a few times, I've been down 3-4 turrets and 15+kills and come back to win it... and that feels way better than mowing them down to a 20min surrender. If your team got some sense, and can survive till 18/full build, it's anyone's game. That survival all depends on attitude, tho... and adapting to the game play. Changing your build. Or sometimes the meta is just fucked up and you'll do well laning, but yall don't stand a chance in a team fight. Not a whole lot you can do about it at that point, (maybe sneaking thru the jungle to backdoor some inhibs), but what's the point in crying about it and blaming people? It serves no purpose, except to defeat your team's morale; and make yourself feel bad... Team morale is everything, just look at sports. The best sportsbooks only get it right like 55% of the time. More than a few times, I got so OP jungling while a bish was trying to surrender, that I ended up carrying the team to victory. Mowing down turrets and following piss-trails. Don't ever ever ever give up. I can't help to think that these people suck at life if they haven't learned that yet. Life ain't always gonna go your way, especially not how you planned it...Release from the ego. You won't always be the most skilled or advantaged player on the board, but your attitude can sink a ship or work a miracle.

Think twice before you start blaming others and taking that defeatist attitude. Believe, encourage, and see what happens. Even if you lose, you might: learn something; teach something; gain the respect of your opponents/teammates; and/or walk away with it having fun regardless... with a smile on your face. Happiness is your life's goal, anyway, right?

The only thing stopping you from being a terrible human being nobody wants to be associated with, is that you have more important things to do? You're talking about respect, but you spout that right off the bat? Much of the rest of your post is reasonable, but you really could have left that part out.

...like posting ridiculous hyperbole to sound like an uberhacker?

Look, if you want to post a pep talk, start with some believable material. Tooting your own horn as a Hollywood-style hacker isn't gonna be taken seriously by anyone with common sense.

To be fair, common sense is ironically rare these days.

Sometimes I think the person who coined the term was being facetious.

You're assuming they thought about it once already...

There's no way to prove who you are. I can easily see my own internet traffic. I have programs that let me see who I'm playing with even if it's on my xbox. It's not that hard... And do you honestly know how easy it is to install spyware onto 12 year old kids computers? Just send them a Game Code Generator that needs a .exe and install anything you want on them. But you're slightly on the threatening side. I don't support your board. I'm half as old as you and I refrain from threats.

Also, this has nothing really to do with Gameplay and Balance and more of just your personal rant. It would be better in Misc.

Furthermore about the Atari, even when I was growing up, you turned into your own hardware and software technician because if you didn't, that $180 gaming console was not going to work the way you wanted it to. If you wanted to play some SEGA and it didn't want to play games anymore, everybody had to learn how to troubleshoot. Blow on that cartridge, smash it it in, open the SEGA Genesis up and check the solder points. Busted game, Install new hardware and software and play all the Sonics you want. My point, owning an Atari and doing your own modding is what every kid did if you were poor and wanted to keep playing cause mom or dad wasn't about to drop anymore money on you.

LOL. This thread.

Most of you are missing the point... I don't give a fuck about this board or which thread your lame ass thinks it should go. This is my first and last post. I'm not a hacker anymore. Just saying I'm not new to this. That was dial-up days, anyways. Attitude.... the ego is not you. What are you trying to prove? and who to? Yourself? Get off the fucking computer and do something creative/productive.
