@Jaz007 That's fantastic mate. I'm glad you have gotten use out of them.

What you up to these days bro?

@themcnoisy College, lots of college. For now I’m just taking online classes and going for a degree in computer science. I’m taking 5 classes and this weeks been extra busy with a few exams. I haven’t really played a game since last Monday, but that’s not the norm for my time.

@Jaz007 you are playing a game Jaz. Your Jaz in Persona personal edition. 2 of your school mates are your teammates, you just need to find the portal in the back of the store cupboard. You will be able to summon using your special laptop and your friend's carry healing wine gums and de-icer to stop the first dungeon ice attacks. The headmaster is the first boss as he's been preferring Geography students.

Throughout the first dungeon you will see flashback cgi of the time we played casino bingo, bingo so hardcore your mind goes into Blitz mode and creates a havok wheel minigame which takes the souls of none bingo players (90% effectivity).

From there you find a goat who acts as a moped, travelling to the deserted zone. Or as we like to call it... The gymnasium. In here you will find multiple freaks who push weights for fun and have little regard for knowledge. This is the first puzzle, convincing Troy to join your team as a sentinel so he can take a beating. Its pretty easy you offer him strength buffer buffs cheese puffs and a full length mirror.

Then it's onto your social building, you can hang out on Pushsquare to help your gaming knowledge for more summons in the dungeon. Hang out in the canteen. Hang out in the shopping centre. Etc etc.

I now understand why you haven't had time to play games. It's cool bro. Once you have saved the world let us know!

@themcnoisy Have you been on the Tic Tacs again?

@JohnnyShoulder Tic tacs are good but juicy fruit are the king.

@themcnoisy Juicy Fruit is ALWAYS the king.

@themcnoisy Absolutely brilliant. And then after things are looking good, there will be a difficulty spike where a dungeons tosses us in Apex Legends-like and our gears seems to be not doing any damage and we have to find a glitchy part part of the map which lets into a developer safe room, but it requires cosmetic objects to be brought it at certain parts to activate it. During which only I’m the only one that doesn’t get KOed by hiding in a bush as I remembered a friend did once . After we get into the room and get un KO'd to get some new props and gear at Hot Topic and GameStop which takes a lot of our funds.
Then we go back overpowered while all the enemies are scrambling to get gear that's in random spots. The final boss is a rainbowed colored suit wearing cyborg on a flying unicorn that shoots micotransactions at us putting our funds dangerously low, and then after Troy gets insane lag for low funds after taking a hit for the team and promptly KO'd, we make a sacrifice and throw a valuable item at it, a no microtranaction, full only single-player game with no DLC. This opens it up for a special all-out attack where it gets sliced up by Pushsquare avatars

I think I might pre-order Persona 5 Scramble when it becomes available. Thought the demo was quite fun.

@Jaz007 'I’m the only one that doesn’t get KOed by hiding in a bush as I remembered a friend did once'

Tactic of the year Jaz, unless you want to finish first. Hahaha.

Hola ladies and gents!

You trying to make "Mistress Of The Word" my new username @RagingFire_Fox? 😂

... Well of course you would... You drew it

@Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy nah I rather it be forever Scotchy! And yes I did draw it!

Fun Fact: Dolphins use puffer fish to get high before passing it to the right!

... Well @RagingFire_Fox... That was certainly something... Looks like ya learn something new everyday 😂

@Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy I find it funny what even animals get themselves high. Like how the black leemurs use millipedes' toxins to get intoxicated

Saw possibly my favourite tweet today from Fortnite Streamer Ninja...

The phrase “it’s just a game” is such a weak mindset. You are ok with what happened, losing, imperfection of a craft. When you stop getting angry after losing, you’ve lost twice.

There’s always something to learn, and always room for improvement, never settle.

While I have been retweeting variants of it all day and replacing 'it's just a game' with things like 'Bowel movement' etc. I wondered what everyone on here thought? I think it is ridiculous advice but hey, I have seen some people on social media defending it.

@Rudy_Manchego
By far the majority of people play games to have fun, relax, unwind, and of course, for escapism.
So getting angry or upset, it's not something that should be encouraged. If that's a common occurrence, I'd say it's time to find another game. Or a different hobby.
Certainly not a mindset that's healthy to have.

@LieutenantFatman @Rudy_Manchego I think to an extent it just a game for most of us. The thing is though, streaming this stuff and being good at it is his livelihood. The advice applies to him very well and is good advice for someone in his position. I think the same thing applies to sports as well.
That being said wanting improve at Dark Souls (or basketball) make sense, but most of us should only take it so far. The way he says it is a little extreme for most of us.

@Rudy_Manchego @LieutenantFatman @Jaz007 I think it’s a very different situation for us compared to people that make their livelihood from gaming. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not putting Ninja in a category alongside actual eSports players that are, y’know, good but the point still stands that it’s not just a game for people like him. It’s just like athletes who strive to do better, sometimes losing is a part of improving. Ninja’s still an absolute badger-factory though.

Yes, granted, the mindset is likely to be different when it's less of a hobby and more of a job. But I'm not convinced that getting angry is conducive to effective learning and improving. Just sounds like a weak excuse for having a bad temper.
