I get what you mean.

Do you take anything to help with your sleep problems?

My bad - What I meant to say is I got in a book of poems named The "Raven and other Poems" from Barnes and Noble and another one with some of his other works called "Edgar Allan Poe's Tales of Mystery and Madness" from Amazon with The Masque Of Red Death featured in it.

Yeah. You have to be focused on the road at all times when you're the designated driver for a trip.

That's what I said although I find that I'm not that tired in the afternoons nowadays so I don't really nap anymore.

I'm a very light sleeper. The slightest sound and my two eyes are wide open and I'm completely alert.

With more Esports leagues moving to a franchise model, similar to traditional sports, what are your thoughts on this shift? Do you think it helps stabilize the scene and boost team investments, or does it limit new talent and make Esports feel too corporate? Would you prefer open tournaments, or do you think franchising is the future of competitive gaming?

Esports has grown so much over the years, and there are so many games with intense tournaments and skilled players. From MOBAs like League of Legends and Dota 2 to shooters like CS2 and Valorant, there's something for everyone. I’m curious to know – what’s your go-to game to watch in Esports, and what makes it exciting for you?

When it comes to strategy in Esports, which game do you think stands out the most? Whether it’s complex mechanics, high-stakes decision-making, or deep tactical possibilities, which game do you believe requires the most strategic thinking?

Do you think their involvement genuinely boosts a game's reach and fanbase, or is it more of a marketing gimmick? Are there specific influencers who have had a noticeable impact on certain games or events? Looking forward to hearing your perspectives.

Do you think one offers a better experience or more immersion than the other? Traditional sports have a long-standing fan base and in-person events, while Esports brings interactive streams, global reach, and unique ways for fans to connect online. How do these aspects impact viewer engagement?

Good question. I’d say my average is about a week, but it really depends on the genre. Battle royal and live-service games tend to sit in my library a lot longer, while action, story-driven games, RPGs and strategy are usually started within a few days at most.

Not at all. Yes, I like to be competitive in games but the primary objective of games is to have fun and I always try to do that.

I’d say the Doom Slayer from DOOM. He’s literally a one-man army, constantly fighting demons with no one to relate to and nothing to keep him company except his weapons and rage. It’s a pretty isolated existence.

Absolutely, winning or just getting better at something really builds confidence. I think it’s a feedback loop – as we improve and see those results, it reinforces that we’re capable. With games like PES, it’s cool to see the skills and strategies you pick up over time, which keeps pushing your confidence higher.

I totally relate to what you're saying. Games often have clearer goals and rewards than real life, and it's easier to feel in control. For example, in games, I can manage resources without real-life stakes or unpredictable stressors. I think a lot of people find it comforting to succeed in games when real-life responsibilities feel so heavy.

Not only that but failing to monitor and actively be apart of their kid's life as well created this situation. A lot of parents in modern times aren't really prepared to put in the work when it comes to raising their kids and then try to blame everyone and thing else instead of taking accountability when everything goes wrong.

Yeah, I'm not really surprised. Capcom has a strong catalog of games out so a dip in one quarter is more of an anomaly for them.

Well, we need this to happen more so companies like Sony will stop trying to put out half-assed live-service cash grabs in the future like Concord.

I agree. I want to see this crash and burn so badly. I've already got the popcorn out - I think this might beat Concord's record of crashing and burning within a month of release.

Trying to benefit off of free work again from the community? What a bunch of low lives! Everything about this company is scummy/shady.
