I seriously just don't get how some people not tilt at all. Like seriously. I try not to tilt. I always try to stay positive. But there are just some games man.....
Listen, I don't care that people lose their lanes. I don't care that we lose the game. If you get outplayed, you get outplayed. You die, you quickly check what went wrong and you either learn from it and try again in the next fight or you just know you can't beat them now so you play safe. Another mistakes happens, you die again, things happen.
The situation which I just typed above is the big dream of every player. We try, we error, we learn, we try again. But this stuff mostly happens in high elo. I unfortunately belong in Gold III and the times people have to die before they actually learn from said deaths is just so unbelievably tilting for me.
I ain't raging and talking about close games where we lose. I am talking about games where the adc and support goes 4/19 together and than after a solid 20 minutes type: ''Okay, I'll play safe now''. Thank you kind sir for playing safe after you and your buddy destroyed the whole match with no possible comeback.
How do people not tilt in that situation?
This has been a rant/seeking for advice. If you do have some solid tips, feel free to share them.
P.S.
Please don't post tips such as: ''It's only a game, why you have to be mad?'' or anything in that context. I know it's a game. Most people lose more often than they win. But in these games described above you aren't even playing the game. You watch 2 to 3 other people run it down or destroy the whole match and there is literally nothing you can do about it.
EDIT: HOLY SH*T I DID NOT EXPECT FOR THIS POST TO BLOW UP SO MUCH. There are over 200 comments and I must read them all, but I can't/won't answer because it's just too overwhelming (in a positive way). Anyway:
Thank you everyone for the fun, interesting and unique tips! I am sure most of them will help. The most beneficial tips that I've gotten is to take breaks between games to not get burned out or get on an autopilot after a while. Playing with friends helps (which I am already doing) and try to purely focus on improving instead of winning.
I'm hoping that these tips will help me and other people reading this as well. For now I'll think I'm going to take bigger breaks. Perhaps start with a really big one right now because I have been breathing League of Legends for the past months.
Cheers!
It's a douchey and a bit of a galling title, considering that it's really hard to make the case that Pixar isn't at the cutting edge of imaginative visual design (and I'm incapable of drawing anything more complex than Alfred E. Neuman), but I think almost every Pixar film gets some amount of flack for the storytelling decisions it makes, whether the resolution's too easy or the beats are a little flat or it takes less interesting turns.
Ultimately, Pixar films are children and family movies, like a lot of modern blockbusters, so digging for criticism seems unseemly, because they're in a class of their own when it comes to that type of entertainment, so what more could you want other than world-class animation, a decent story, and an emotional core?
So the one specific aspect that stood out when I watched Soul (which I'll revisit, because some parts of it were really astonishing) is something that does bother me about how storytelling decisions feel like they hold back the places Pixar movies could go.
Long-ish relevant digression, but I think the popular opinion is that the first half hour of Wall*E outshines the rest of the movie, mostly because it's a self-contained wonder. There's almost nothing else like it. And then it introduces humans, and the pitfalls of normal family entertainment (which is still good for family entertainment, but not as stunning as the first act of the same movie) kind of take over and feel a little rote. It's jarring. I get that there needs to be something for kids, families to relate to, to make the merchandising targets, because a 90-minute expressionist film about the end of humanity on earth isn't going to make anyone joyful in the toy store, but the formula sometimes makes you wonder, "well, where else could have this movie gone." How far could they have pushed the limits of imagining a fuller exploration of garbage earth?
And this is one of those critiques that I don't like, because it's of the line that that's not the movie that was made, so you have to meet it where it actually is. It would be a completely different movie and not a fair criticism and enters into the realm of fan fiction. So I get that a bit. But I think it's also part of expectation setting.
The first part of Soul, after Joe starts going to the great beyond comes close to a big budget version of a Hertzfeld cartoon, where transitions are unexpected and delightful or terrifying, and you're just waiting for what comes next, which I think I kept a

My niece, my mom and me were about to have breakfast. My mom came with all the food, 2 big and 1 small fork, 2 knives etc. My niece was very happy to have a big fork on her own and took one, and I took one too. My mom is gone to the other corner of the room for grab her phone and talk to my sister, and didn't touch to the table at all after. My niece was cutting her food and she couldn't cut it to smaller pieces. After she tried she gave up and turned to me. She said "can you cut my food smaller" and I said "yeah, give me your fork and knife". She gave me the knife and I said "where is your fork". She said "in my hand" and looked at her hand but there was no fork. She confused and asked me if I took it while she wasn't looking it and I said no. I was confused too and we searched every corner of the room but we couldn't find it. I turned my mom and asked if she saw it and she pretended like she didn't hear me, she kept looking at her phone. I asked three times and she got pissed, she said "it's in front of you" and when I turned I saw two small forks on the table. I asked to my niece if she saw these forks before and she said "I saw only a small one, I took one big fork and you took the other". My mom didn't answered us when we asked her and again pretended not to hear. My niece took a small fork and my mom cut her food. We were confused and we searched around a little bit more but we couldn't find it anyway. I'm not sure what was it...

Link to the actual study: http://www.sayurihayakawa.com/uploads/9/5/4/2/95429602/hayakawakeysar2018.pdf
Although the paper of the study mentions proficiency in the second language may play a role, the article from the independent.co.uk does not say anything about that.
From the study paper:
“That said, there is some indication that proficiency may play a role. While we did not find notable proficiency effects for Experiments 2 and 3, in Experiment 1, we find that foreign language proficiency moderates the language effect on imagery for the auditory (B = −0.19, SE=0.09, p=.035) and motor modalities (B=−0.22, SE=0.08, p = .007). In these cases, the effect of language is most pronounced for lower proficiency participants. This raises the possibility that profi- ciency and other aspects of linguistic experience may affect how much people’s imagery changes as a function of language.”
EDIT I JUST WANTED TO LET YOU ALL KNOW IVE REMOVED THE CURTAINS AND TOLD WHATEVER IT IS THAT IT ISNT WELCOME HERE. THAT SEEMS TO HAVE WORKED BECAUSE MY DAUGHTER HASNT MENTIONED IT SINCE BUT I WILL DEFINITELY KEEP AN EYE ON IT, THANK YOU ALL FOR THE ADVICE 😁
First time poster here, looking for some advice.
I recently moved into a rented property in the south east of England. The property is a relatively new build, roughly 18 years old and things have been pretty good so far.
The odd bump in the night but I put that down to thin walls and having a toddler.
However, a few weeks ago I woke in the middle of the night to hear my 2 year old laughing and talking, she didnt seem distressed so I listened to her until she went back to sleep and she seemed content. A few times since then we've been in her room when shes looked towards the window with the curtains drawn and told me there was a funny face there. I've looked at it from every which way but can't make out anything remotely resembling a face in the floral patterns of the curtain.
Then 2 nights ago she looked up at that area and laughed telling me there was a funny face, then she suddenly gasped and told me it was scary and clung to me obviously frightened. I laid her down to change her nappy and she looked over gasped again, shouted scary and then covered her eyes and wouldn't look at it again.
Since then I've heard her laughing and then suddenly gasp and say "no not scary, please" in the night.
What do you think, a toddlers imagination or something else? Thank you.
The sad truth is that there is a significant officiating bias against the Raiders, at the direction of the NFL. Always has been, always will be.
I know that most teams' fans whine about this, but WE actually have the statistics to back it up. Unless of course you can believe that across multiple decades, multiple coaches, and multiple rosters the Raiders are consistently the least disciplined, dirtiest team in the league, since they are consistently the most penalized team in the league. Seems pretty far-fetched to me.
The reality is that the NFL has had a hard-on for the Raiders since the early days of the NFL-AFL rivalry. When Lamar Hunt made Al Davis the commissioner of the AFL, it was for the sole reason that Al Davis wasn't afraid to get his hands dirty to level the playing field. The arrogant NFL was outsmarted and outmaneuvered REPEATEDLY by Al Davis throughout the 60's, which led to eventually forcing them to accept the merger.
If that isn't enough to explain the league's hatred of the Raiders and the Davis family, look no further than the multitude of successful lawsuits Davis won against the NFL while running professional sports' most successful franchise. Davis took particular pleasure from suing the NFL (and winning).
Pete Rozelle hated the AFL, and absolutely LOATHED Al Davis. He couldn't beat him at shrewd business tactics, couldn't beat him in the courtroom, and couldn't beat him on the field. So they beat him the only way they could: with chicken shit, biased officiating. Even though that should be ancient history by now, old habits die hard, and the Raiders are always in the officials crosshairs more than any other NFL team. This isn't whining or sour grapes. It's just cold hard facts.
PS: Much of this information comes from a fantastic documentary about the AFL that should be a mandatory must watch for EVERY die-hard Raiders fan! It's called "Full Color Football: The History of the American Football League", and the entire mini-series is on YouTube. Take the time to watch it! I PROMISE you won't regret it...
Here is the first episode:
https://youtu.be/_7OA6koTK_E
Take advantage of any time off you may have over the holidays, and add watching this fantastic tale of an upstart, maverick football league, squaring off with the dismissive, condescending (but VERY mighty) 800 lb gorilla that was the NFL, and eventually bringing them to their knees! It's the kind of David and Goliath story that will warm the heart of every Raiders fan!
