Grubby defeated 'OneTime' in Orc (OneTime) vs. Night Elf (Grubby-theorized) while OneTime was participating in a Warcraft III: Frozen Throne event in China. The game was played on Lost Temple. This game took place in 2008 before the Beijing Olympics. The game was Orc @ 3 o'clock vs. Night Elf @ 6 o'clock. Abusing a fast expansion, the Night Elf player won the game with Bear Druids.
This game inspired the famous Death Note controversy:
I had the thought my blog always ends up being about me. Not always. Those are probably my best blog posts. The biggest reason it always ends up being about me is I don't think I'm skilled enough to put out serious essays especially with sources and notes and such. I used to do this in academia but I got a degree and never went back. I'm more of a consumer (reading) than a producer (meaningful writing).
I just finished The Brothers' Karamazov by Dostoevsky (good read) and started Who Fears Death by Okorafur (jury's out but I like it so far). That's on top of reading some non-fiction. God knows I have the time.
My mom also got me a subscription to The New York Times. It lets me know what The Regime is up to more or less. It lets me know what the propaghanda arm of Blackrock Inc. and Harvard University and the CIA is saying. NYT is probably slightly better than Elon Musk propaghanda (X). The X algorithm got really fucked some times too. Good fucking riddance.
Being away from LP for a while forced me to find all new stuff and gravitated towards reading versus video games which is a very good thing. I still missed some writing outlet even if it's not meaningful. I even considered writing a blog and sending it to lostaccount to post lol. So, it's a problem. I recognize this.
I am also attempting to purge sports from my brain as well as red v blue political bull shit. See what my brain can come up with with more room in there.
I've been having dreams about painting but sadly I am too broke to paint currently. That is ok though. This vacation from work has mostly been about reading and walking at the core. I continue to read and walk and I'll be ok. Perhaps up my getting a job game. I am waking up between 6am - 8am. I got a haircut today. It looks pretty good. It's funny how a good haircut can be an instant confidence booster. I also need to get better with my exposure therapy irt driving a car. It is a lot easier to get a job within a 30 min. radius in a car than trying to find something remote.
Just went on an insane sun run the last week with 2 big 2nds and a 5th in nightly $100 stars tournaments for like 6500.
sitting deep playing all the $50-215s on stars and wsop for the last 8 months now, with a lil over 100% roi since coming back
I just purchased HRC and working with my tourney coach Tony, 1st.place is his stars id
going to becoming a solver pro now,
had to learn to think how hrc thinks in these spots and throw away my old chipev mentality, finally coming along good now though!
Well, lostaccount wanted an update and I can't sleep at the moment so here WE GOOOOOO!:
My bank account is dwindling and dwindling. I'm starting to drive further and further. My haircut looks like I have been out of work for 9 months (I have). I want to get a haircut that looks like I am running for office. I am thinking short on the sides and back and then going with a sidepart or a slickback. Suggestions welcome!
It's been interesting how I've been keeping myself busy. I started watching Avatar: The Last Airbender and Succession. I'm finally reading a book Stroggoz suggested to me probably almost 10 years ago. I don't remember the title. Something about Corporate Propaghanda vs Freedom and Liberty. Sometimes it takes me a while to get to a book but I typically will get to it at some point. I've just been really into politics lately. I read Hillbilly Elegy by JD Vance. I think Trump / Vance have about 66.6667% chance to win to keep the numbers simple. I'm not a big fan of Kamala Harris but is she better than Project 2025? Why do our choices have to be between insane situations?
for me its freedom
there is such a thing as too much cute girls.
I need a break from them lol.
also going back to school to get a real job cause life is too boring without something to do too much of the time.
when I go back to school I won't be on LP too much except when rikd post
Created a Movies YT Channel lolby whammbot, July 05
Finally trying to learn editing and my blog is dead because of AI and Google updates. It's still around but it's filled with casino guest posts lol.
Now I've created an outlet for movie and tv stuff and I hope the 2 Lpers who still come here and subscribe, like, or comment. I'll post reviews there soon but for now it's just shorts and movie recaps or great scenes.
I have been studying n to play gto is so different then the style I use to play when I was crushing. im so rusty gonna study for the next month or so n get better. no wonder I am not a big winner anymore everyone got so much better which I need to level up now
I just hold on to stuff ya know? I got to get some of it out ya know? If I'm going to have any shot at recovery.
I have to start with poker because this road to mastery makes me feel alive. Of course there is the gambling too. That plays a part in ALIVE! But, many of the times I play recently my hands shake uncontrollably. Imagine you get QQ and you go to raise and your hand is not cooperating. I have to hold the mouse with 2 hands and hope to get the right bet out. I should be focusing on hand ranges not if I can actually get a legitimate bet out across the line. I guess I have been studying a lot but it's time to get some hands in.
I see my Doctor on Tuesday so we will see how that goes. I just have to remember everything that has been going on and be honest about it.
Once again, I'll be traveling abroad for the entire summer (June and July), so I won't be posting much until I return in early August.
This time, I will be traveling to the Philippines and will visit as many islands as I can. That being said, aside from my first two weeks in the Philippines, I plan to do everything week-by-week, so that it feels like I am on a real vacation and so that I don't have to stick to a scheduled plan that is often tiring.
My plan is to island hop, go to sleep whenever I want, wake up whenever I want, eat and drink whatever I want, go to the gym often to keep up with the food intake, go clubbing whenever I want, etc. Some of the islands I already planned to visit are Cebu, Coron (in Palawan), and Malapascua.
This won't be my first trip to the Philippines, but it will be my first time staying in the Philippines for more than 1 week at a time. Prior to 2024, I was in Belarus for summer 2021/2022/2023, and South Korea in summer 2018/2019.
I'll try to post update blogs during my trip when I can, but if I can't, then I'll definitely post a complete blog when I return to California.
