just curious if you guys get that feeling that you're 'thinking' more in games after you take a break... ive been casual for the last while but I feel like my strategy, creativity, and execution improve those nights where i actually get to play. (this is compared to when I had time to play this game whenever - felt stale as fuck)

macro & mechanics, on the other hand, are totally awful and i actually laugh midgame when im blocked for an eternity :rofl: . sometimes it works out in that area and I play some great games.



love this game...but I can't seem to play it for long sprees. I feel like I would lose my sanity b/c of pvps and bio drops :D




so basically straight grinding this game vs (taking/being forced to take) time away between sessions

i think if I played a couple nights for long durations, then took a 2-3 day break..that's how i'd attempt GM (if i could succeed at enjoying the game long enough lol)

imo, more fun being bad after being good (semi decent), allows you to just laugh at moments when youre like wtf is going on, what do i do lol. When otherwise you'd be stressed out trying not to make dumb mistakes

I wish everyone still played, I'd probably still be trying hard.

depends on the length of the break and how long you have been playing afterwards

If it was a huge break and you only played for a while you will suck shit

Taking a break is good if you wanna make major changes in your game or rework your ABC, grinding constantly is good for microstuff
