    That’s hilarious because I’ve done the same exact thing before except it was the watch menu from the Goldeneye Nintendo64 James Bond game. It worked for several years as a young lad.

    Starcraft 2 is seriously the only game that’s ever given me performance anxiety. There were days when I’d sit down to play and I’d already have nerves and just nope right out and watch GSL VODs of pro players instead. Seeing your rating and all that, Platinum to Diamond, then Diamond to Master, that game was rough and you were always at risk of cheese and basically getting harassed to death playing a traditional build order

      On the other hand I enjoyed that game for years without ever touching multiplayer…

      It’s always weird because everyone talks about how stressful it was, but it never was to me because I could just pause/save and walk away.

        Up towards Masters people would get really creative and it was a shitshow, like you’d scout and see 1 rax and think you’re getting rushed but they actually went two rax expo and tucked the rax and base in some corner, so you lost the macro game anticipating an early attack (or you’d do that same thing to them). It was just weird mindfuck stuff like that left and right lol. Basically hyper aggressive deception every other game and you’d have to play like that in order to survive

      I had that in WoW PvP. A buddy and I were in the top 50 of the second largest server and it was work. Even solo, we’d often wait for each other to come online before hitting ranked PvP so there was at least someone to talk to. It made losing not seem so bad, and if you started flunking, the other would say to stop and pick it up later.

      Otherwise, pressure as hell. And for no reason other than trying to be the top rank of my class which was some pointless goal I put on myself.

    I just don’t dream… anything. I remember having dreams as a kid, and I remember what it felt like waking up, knowing I’d had a dream, but forgetting it. But anymore, I just don’t have any dreams anymore.

      You probably have dreams but are not aware because you do not wake up during a dream anymore. Maybe your sleep habits changed. You can remember dreaming only if you wake up during REM sleep. I know it is not possible probably, but if you have someone watch you while you are sleeping and wake you up a few seconds after they see your eyes moving, you’d probably remember your dream.

    You’ll know you’re in trouble if you’re arguing and he stares blankly and starts jabbing his finger at the air.

    I started lucid dreaming when I was about 8 years old. This was before google, and when I asked my parents about it, they had no idea what I was talking about. So I didn’t know what exactly was happening, but I did know it was super gay to be conscious while sleeping, so I spent a few weeks figuring out how to forget I was dreaming. I eventually succeeded, but ever since I’ve had the ability to think “Oh, this is a nightmare, I need to wake up.” and open my eyes, wide awake.
