1. I went home for a bit, sometimes you just miss your home. 2. I've decided to finally upgrade hitting and scoring 3. No, but I will definitely look for some in my next reincarnation 4. No, my offseason is spent hibernating or training. 5. I love to play some hole digging. it helps with hibernation. otherwise, tree cutting helps too. 6. i am a big fan of burgers or vegetarian curry.

For those of you who know me in the SBA, you know exactly what happened to me and why I fell off the face of the earth for a while. For those of you who don't know, I caught COVID and had some really bad symptoms, and then I broke my ankle when I was recovering. I recently had a second surgery on my ankle in another attempt to try to get me to heal to full health, but the itch of going back to leagues came. To be honest, I do feel good enough to do leagues now, and it's a welcome distraction from everything else now that I need to worry about, but there's always the earning pressure that I'm already feeling that I remember and don't really like. There are a couple of NBA2K leagues where I do the bare minimum and be a role player. I hope I can do that here as well. I know earning isn't hard here actually, it's pretty easy, and I've never actually had a bad interaction with this community, but I think for my mental I can't afford to go in too deep. I hate free agency and people asking me to be on their team. It feels awful to say no to people, especially when I don't have a good reason to. I came back here and saw a bunch of messages and notifications, and had a brief moment of panic and terror, and ran away. I legit only had the VHL portal open on my phone for a few weeks just to do my welfare and practice and try to keep the rest out of my mind. That changed recently. I made a serious comeback attempt in the SBA, and I'm here to do the affiliate check. I'm also here because my friends like hockey and I find myself enjoying hockey when I'm watching. Barron had a fantastic season, only notching 4 penalty minutes, which is exactly what I wanted him to do. I'm going to bite the bullet now and actually add in some scoring, to try to be a better player, but I don't want that to be his main focus. I am low TPE after all, I just want to not be absolutely useless on one end like I have been. I actually like my future, although if I'm a free agent after this season I'm probably going to turtle as much as possible as soon as it happens. Sorry in advance to whoever reaches out to me. Until next time I decide to do an update, I hope everyone stays healthy and is happy and does well. LefLop

It's weird. I always thought that I wouldn't score especially because I didn't put any points into scoring. Imagine my shock when I scored my first goal this year especially when it wasn't even during the power play. To be honest I was a little disappointed because I really didn't actually want to score this season but I'm glad I helped my team out. I wanted to pride myself as a defense first player so I'm who only really focused on doing what my player wanted to accomplish as my player build which was just playing good defense and not taking any penalty minutes. I know that I read on some of the guides and some of the things on the site that discipline really didn't do much until you got it really high but I still want that a try. As it turns out they were completely correct even with my investment to discipline it definitely didn't cut down on my penalty minutes as much as I thought but I don't regret it I think in the future it just pushes me to actually want to do that even higher maybe in my next player I will go strictly for that kind of build even more. Overall I was pretty happy with the season and I ended up scoring five total goals which was five more than I thought I would near the end of the season they just kept on pouring on and I kept on scoring and I was just at that point I just checked out I was like if I already scored once I might as well keep scoring I was just surprised I could score so much with no investment. The playoffs are starting soon I think I'm just looking forward to doing the best I can and if I continue scoring like this I'll be happy with it you know as long as it helps the team.

I want to tan and eat shore food. 7. I have developed a recent hatred of doing laundry and am seriously considering paying someone else to do it for me. -

Minnesota Storm Press Conference Questions
LefLop replied to Matmenzinger's topic in Team Press Conferences
1. It's cold, people are way too attached to sports, and it's a city. Also I have terrible memories of the place. 2. It contains whatever moments of childhood innocence I've ever had, at least a large part of it. 3. Yes. I think my current temper prevents me from playing. 4. They used to be fun, but now I hate the time pressure mechanics that in free to play games, and plot driven games don't fit my poor memory anymore 5. At this current moment it is probably basketball. 6. I own a car. I like nice cars. I know nothing of how to fix or evaluate them, but I want to have a nice ride. I like daniel mac videos 7. I havent decided yet. The mRNA stuff freaks me out and I am considering the idea that I might enjoy life better living in constant fear and having the virus as an excuse to flake out on my social arrangements as I become more of a bitter man filled with hate and continue driving a wedge between myself and those who call me a friend. -

I would like to be a Yukon gold. I want to be known for my amazing color and richness. 4. Potatoes are one of my favorite foods. 5. 2 > 1. Always want 2 points. Dont care how I get them. 6. I ghosted the site for a week and skipped my picks and got banned. Whoops. 7. Please send me a list so I can submit. I dont want to forget to do tpe tasks. -
Spartan reacted to a post in a topic: Earning Pressure

Weeekly Earning So I've been pretty angry in sim leagues recently. You would think that wouldn't be the case. In one league, the team I just founded I won the ring in my first year of regression, on the team I founded, with my protege GM leading the way, and myself winning the finals MVP. In another league, I'm back again for my 3rd year of regression, barely hanging on, trying to win a title with Kelsier in what is most likely my last hurrah. In another league, I just won the title, with Kelsier, with one of my favorite users in Ng4 being my gm, after 3 attempts. In another league, I did some cap magic and kept most of my players (sorry McWolf), and we're on our way to being a real contender. Of course, that doesn't mean it didn't take a toll elsewhere. In one of our biggest games of the season for another league, I completely didn't do any scouting, and we lost. Our playoff fate now lies in the hands of our rivals, who are down 2 runs in the final inning. I have no idea if we'll make it, and my lack of scouting this season for the team has really hurt our offensive performance. In the VHL, I totally checked out and forgot that I had signed up for fantasy, and totally ghosted a group. Sorry again. in another league, I just didn't have time to do any earning, and didn't even update. More importantly, people have commented that I seem unhappy - especially in certain leagues. Well, maybe not the league that I just won the titles in, but in some others. I think I have a good idea why. I've been talking to people about my gaming habits recently. I've totally given up on games with time pressure. I used to love playing gachas and game with stamina systems, as well as games with hourly dungeons and quests. I'm not about that life anymore. I found that those games have a hold of me - they enforce time pressure on me - they were literally controlling parts of my life. Sim leagues are starting to feel like there is some time pressure on me as well. Every week, I need to check in and earn. Regardless of how my life is going, inside or outside of leagues, there's stuff going on. Playoffs, offseasons, player drama, sim league drama. They are all chasing after me for something - it's like we've gone into a hyperdrive of the attention economy. I normally do a weekly meditation session. Lately, I've found myself not looking forward to them. I don't want to take the time to empty my mind - there's always something /next/ that needs more attention. At work, with things seemingly reopening up - we are in super scramble mode. I still haven't done my taxes, and this is the first time I'll have to file taxes with stock stuff - I keep putting it off. Someone found a discord pokemon bot, and now I want to be the very best. My player name there is bee drill and i'm already trying to breed a passible (2 IV perfect + nature) Weedle. Part of this is just who I am and how I'm wired. I know I'm angry because my wiring pushes me to do all of these things, and I'm upset because there's something really wrong with how i'm living my life right now, but I'm not able to identify it. So I'm ok with "turning heel" in other leagues, because if I can't figure out whats wrong, maybe I'll just change and try new approaches to leagues and relationships and something will break and then hopefully things will get better. until then, another weekly point earning task down. now to rotate through the other leagues and make sure i'm doing my job.
