The game series for people who do not know:
The game can be quite fun, as long as I am cognitively with it, otherwise it quickly becomes a brain-dead activity/addiction.
And I got rid of my old switch console and Nintendo account. So I would have to buy that back in full. Honestly I’d rather wait and see if there is anything new coming up this spring (like a switch 2?) and then decide if it is worth it, by whether I can appreciate it as a pastime or not.
I was a bad player, with low attention span and awareness. But when my mind was together I managed to make a fun go at it.
The problem is, it became a low-cost addiction to compliment my sedated psychosis. If I ever go back with higher consciousness, then it needs to become a high-cost pastime, not a dopamine-reward gambling addiction. I already have some ideas on how to accomplish that.
But then there is the question of priorities, most adults in the room would ask for a raise in maturity, and rightfully so. I wouldn’t mind leaving it in my life, as long as other immature things go, and I actually make progress recovering. And of course, if the world is on fire by this spring, then I will find my safety net, and leave this idea to burn away.
For anyone who played it, I know a lot about it and have theorized a lot as well, if you want to communicate on it (although I have never played competitive). But as can be seen, my ideas can go on and on, so be specific if you want a shorter answer on a topic.
If I go back into playing it, then I want to try on the 96 gal weapons, although the one with a sprinkler system seems to be irrelevant. And then the H3 nozzlenose, which is my favorite weapon.
My current idea is that you would need to visualize what the enemy player is seeing (and what they are reacting to) from their perspective AND consciously make future predictions, to play the game at a higher capacity.
How people remain as consistent as they do it the higher levels of that game is a mystery to me. I assume they take it as a hard-core discipline in terms of performance, valuing that over immanent results, using their longer attention span.
