i’ve been using plasma flower and have been enjoying my gaming experiences more.
i have friends that i can play MMOs with now and everyone in-game are friendly. the MMO experience has been great! i am invested in my character, the quests, and all the gameplay.
i also stopped caring what toxic teammates on voicechat say in competitive games. i’m not at the point where i can ignore their comments, but now i feel like i can stand up for myself by explaining my actions and requesting them to be constructive instead of mocking my playstyle.
i actually won the winning point by myself in a ranked game where a random teammate was commenting on everything i did (which meant they died the earliest so they have to spectate a teammate and chose me for the majority of the game).
i also feel like i have a gradually better balance between my computer usage and real life activities.
