So far I've noticed that, with more playing actual games, as well as the WAY I play those games, my reactivity has improved quite significantly. I'll advise everyone to try and naturally progress their reactions before resorting to any supplements

#

I’m shit at aiming help
@tidal gust Train it. There's much, much, much, MUCH more to aiming than anything the health channel can really help you with. I'd advise you use the sparky benchmarks as a good guideline and tester, as well as watching high ranked players in both kovaaks and in game play and comparing

#

yeah i never feel the back of my chair cause its kinda slanted away from my back its hella weird lmao
@warm flare If you can't adjust your chair for appropriate neck/back support, get a new one

#

You might just have a postural issue, but if you actually can't reach it because IT'S slanted, buy a new one. If you think it's a posture thing, try placing something along the lines of a tennis ball between your shoulder blades in your mid/upper back region, and make sure it stays there. If you feel it slipping down, you're hunching/leaning forward

#

Idk what to do i aim train 25 to 30 mins a day and always am super consistent with aim training but i feel like my mouse control is not improving and it just feels like im wasting time and its messing with my mental because its making me think that i wont be able to get super good mouse control so i dont have to worry about my aim any more when i get into fights its really getting me upset anyone know how to fix this mentality or suggest things to do?
@warm flare Play the game not to see yourself perform, but rather play it to learn. Invest yourself in aim training as a university student invests themselves into their respective major. Be analytical before you're critical, be observant without cherry picking. Fairly judge your performance against the standard you aim to achieve, and actively pursue help as to how to improve your weaknesses

#

"Okay so I'm shaking a lot when tracking this one bot. Let me try to loosen my grip a little without losing basic control. ...

Okay, So now I'm not as reactive with my tracking! Let me train my reactivity while keeping a controlled, but not tight grip on my mouse, and supplement it with some smoothness scenarios!"

Be consistent with such analysis and you'll improve monumentally. Also, I encourage you to record VODs, no matter how strenuous it is. OBS is great for this, and VODs allow you to objectively review your performance with no biases or inaccuracies

What to do with wrist pain when doing tracking scenarios?

#

What to do with wrist pain when doing tracking scenarios?
@rotund moss Make sure your grip on your mouse is as loose as possible without losing control

#

If the pain persists, this might be due to tightness in your forearm muscles

#

Should I use arm rests when playing?

#

I get tired when I don’t use them, and my arms start to slouch.

#

When I do use them, my aim is jittery because my arm has tons of friction against the chair arm rest.

wheat charm
#

that really depends on your chair and desk height. In my experience the arm rests are always too low so using them would cause really bad posture or they get in the way of me moving close enough to the desk.

peak rune
#

@lusty river I have a desk that curves around me, so I can rest my arm on it. I intentionally position myself so I can rest my arm on it. I wear a compression sleeve that reduces friction against my forearm. Consider getting one, preferably with a thumb-hole so it covers the base of your wrist, or try a long-sleeve shirt. One of the downsides is if I'm too close, I regularly and painfully bump my elbow against the desk.

yesterday I was so so so happy that I set a new score on every single scenario in valorant playlist and also hitting 1000+ on 1w6t small for the first time, but then I went 6-15 in game just now without a single headshot. It is mentally devastating lol

@mellow turret It's a very common thing to feel. It's also common to mistake kovaak's progression with significant in game progress. I've found that kovaak's will help push your mouse control to advanced levels, but in order to be able to incorporate what kovaak's has given you in game, you MUST play the game itself and work on your aim in it specifically

weak oxide
#

And especially in valorant there way more factor. Also peeker advantage

silent osprey
#

ive spoken to a fair few people and they tend to perform worse ingame if they did aim prac in kvk or whatever before playing

#

try doing kovaaks after playing instead

#

you might feel worn out and stuff but it might turn out better for you

rapid folio
#

ive found people often interpret/reflect their mistakes or misplays incorrectly in valorant. way too often a lack of proper crosshair placement is noted mentally as too bad aim when its just not true. therefore proceeding to practice the supposed inability to aim and come back to valorant will further amplify that thought or habit and you will perform even worse. make sure you properly analyze or get someone to analyze what your issues actually are before looking to improve. else it can backfire quite hard.

#

past 5 months ive spent on valorant i got significantly worse in kovaaks.

#

while improving significantly in valorant.

little bit of a weird question even for the health channel, but i had surgery about a week ago and my mouth has tasted like some ungodly combination of chemicals and metal ever since. I've heard it could be from anesthesia but I also get the taste when I take my antibiotics, any help/ideas?

#

I am begging for help this shit is AWFUL

#

also the surgery wasnt like on my mouth or anything

rapid folio
#

Many antibiotics cause a metallic taste in the mouth. Penicillin, amoxicillin, Augmentin, and cephalosporins (Ancef, Keflex) are commonly prescribed for acute sore throat, and ear and sinus infections, and they may lead to a metallic taste in your mouth

worn wolf
#

@rapid folio so it should theoretically stop a little bit after i'm done with the antibiotics?

rapid folio
#

yea fairly quick

worn wolf
#

thank goodness

#

I was just confused bc i had the taste in my mouth right after waking up from surgery before i had even taken any antibiotics

@mellow turret Anytime mate. That's completely normal. I'm glad you're seeing the need to continue learning and adapting from your failures. Keep it up! 😄

#

@violet swan from what i heard its not addicting and i take theanine in form of black tea, reaction time dropped from 180ms to 150-160ms and most likely gonna get faster im also taking lutein

violet swan
#

K thanks for the help

soft stag
#

@loud plover can you say something about the drugs these two mentioned just above me?

#

@glad sorrel you might hit a ceiling to how much you'll improve

#

It might not even improve much now

#

@loud plover would you also tell how we could avoid carpal tunnel?

loud plover
#

@loud plover can you say something about the drugs these two mentioned just above me?
@soft stag I can't say I know enough about these drugs to know their potential side effects, but I can tell you that drinking black tea to get a natural supplement of Theanine will not hurt you in monitored quantities. As for Lutein, there's not much I can say, as I'm not very aware of what it does

#

@loud plover would you also tell how we could avoid carpal tunnel?
@soft stag Carpal tunnel syndrome is caused by pressure on your median nerve, which runs in the middle across the length of your arm. Prevention is quite simple. First off, be sure not to hold your mouse in a flexed position, or with tensed hands/wrist for a prolonged period of time. As a matter of fact, your aim will also improve in its smoothness and consistency once you learn to have a loose but controlled grip on your mouse. Additionally, and this is important, take breaks, you need to let the muscles in your forearm, as well as your wrist, to relax, they cannot be maintained under tension for long. Try to keep your wrist straight when holding any objects, as well as when you're sleeping. You should be good as long as you're aware of the general position and length in which that position is maintained

Okay so i hope i'm not the only one who starts to feel super sick and nausious after doing close fast strafe scenarios here. Do you guys have any tips to fix that? Or am i just unable to do those kinds of scenarios?

what's a good width between arms?

my current chair has 22" between them

22 inches in between arms

#

I just use a chair with no arms and tuck myself all the way in and the table acts as the arm rest

#

No space to slouch and allows me to freely arm aim

#

Just make sure that the table is low enough that the shoulders aren't raised

@worn wolf I'm the same lol

My stomach touches the table

#

Almost the whole arm from the elbow is on the table

how mf tall is that man

#

I removed arms from my chair bc they would bump into desk and I couldnt get close enough

#

but also I get shoulder/shaky issues because desk is too high so I have to figure out how to fix that now

#

Can I post images in this thread?

#

I'll show my chair

pearl elk
#

I think so as long as it's relevant to the convo

#

(and related to health)

soft stag
#

I put a folded blanket on it so I'm elevated

#

So my elbows don't slouch or lifted too far up

pearl elk
#

probably should upgrade that chair in the future lol

#

changing from a dining chair to proper ego one can be life changing

#

It's actually one of the chairs from the dinner table :p

#

My previous one broke

#

So I'm stuck with it for now

#

@pearl elk I'll change it one day but it's not possible right now unfortunately

#

I have good posture so I don't think it's affecting me

pearl elk
#

idk it's probably unhealthy in the long run to sit long hours in that

#

but idk it's better than nothing

worn wolf
#

as long as it isnt uncomfortable and ur posture doesnt show signs of long term pain

cant be the worst

but theres also a reason i dont have a green name with the health tag

@upper folio I struggle with this a lot usually. What I did before was make sure that I wore warm clothing before, but sometimes that didn't help.

Pretty sure I went to a harvard trained medical professional and they said that tea is bad for you, just like coffee. Tea was basically medicine before it became a drink, so he said all you're doing is giving yourself medicine when you don't need it, which is supposedly not good for you.

#

Muscle memory for aiming is a fad. A player with good mouse control will be able to change their sensitivity and mouse without any significant problems, so long as they don't go into extremes. There can be a noticeable difference, but that's not related to memory, but more related to comfort and preference.

A lot of pro living kinda unhealthy too before joining a proper team with health coach and stuff

Like you still see a lot of them are overweight imo

Some are jacked or fit enough too.

Like as much as being pro i dont think mcdonald and 5 guys ,chipotle non stop with tons of coca cola help anything

It just them already been good at playing a game

no shit eating junk food wont make you pro

but weird they all have that in common

because sitting for 12hrs + a day playing a game may mean you have shit habits

Not to mention they eat and play at the same time sometimes

As much as they be like i am not stressing ultimately you are stressing

Yeah an unhealthy lifestyle just comes with the low income

Most of the time, you also develop that style from gaming so much as nak said

#

@eternal dock i mean most of the pro player that earn a lot of money dont really ye have bad lifestyle

#

like if we look at most of the TI winner on dota 2

#

they just shit money

#

like it not just a bad habit it also cuz even though they are pro they dont really have that good of income to begin with

#

not all pro are like rich people

Your arm looks really far out there and elongated.

i would like vertical keyboard but its so uncomfortable having my elbow on the table

also does anyone know why the fuck pasu and bounce 180 give me such bad shakes

#

idk if this is the right channel but ive asked it like 3 times in advice and gotten no answer

#

i could get such better scores on them but i miss so much because i shake so bad

#

neither of them are options to get good scores on

#

@terse willow shaking goes away after practice its just your body getting used to it

terse willow

i play bounce 180 every day and ive been doing it for months and it hasnt been showing signs of going away

are there ever periods where there's no shaking?

not really

sometimes it lowers a little bit but theres always shakes

and it doesnt happen with any other scenarios

how do i do that

I mean if you're shaky as hell you should prob fix that before you grind for scores lol

im not shaky as hell anywhere else

#

nothing else

#

also i dont really grind for scores either

sometimes i play for like 10 mins after im done training

what could this be caused by?

Only difference I am aware of is that I woke up pretty late today around at around 12

i heard that if u eat a protein based meal, go for a run for 30 mins and meditate for 15 mins and then eat a protein based meal it will help u focus @quasi phoenix

@quasi phoenix just be aware of shitty days can happen, it can be impacted more with shit sleep schedule eating poorly etc

#

ur cutting ur leg off and wondering why you can’t run as fast as someone else with two legs

my guess it’s a combination of a bad day and sleep?

#

How do I stop shaky aim as a whole?

I know caffiene is bad

Pulled something in my upper back today at work, anything I should do other than ice it and rest?

glad sorrel
#

why is my aim better at night?

opal kernel
#

Because after hours of being awake and moving around and doing stuff you kinda naturally stretch, so ur not as stiff and it's easier to aim

#

very pepega explanation but yeah. I find that it's helpful to just exercise in general so u can aim better earlier in the day, can be weightlifting or pullups or pushups or something, but it's still not quite the same as exercising + waiting til later

stone hedge
#

anyone got any tips or a video ect for sitting position, amount of arm on desk and shit like that?

arctic moat
#

@stone hedge For posture check the pins in this channel

#

As for how much arm on desk, the most common neutral position is to put whole arm on table and leave elbow floating

#

Take away or add some more arm, it's entirely up to you, your setup, sensitivity and preference

#

Some like to put their elbow on their table for added stability, but it's harder to make large sweeping motions or go vertical

#

That is situational anyways, and I wouldn't overthink this too much

I have cold hands all the time because I have anxiety, but it is normally due to poor circulation or nerves while gaming. What i like to do is sit on my hands, or rub them together and create some friction if I dont feel like getting up. If not you can go to the sink and run some warm water over your hands to get the blood flowing. Exercise and diet changes are also nice long term solutions. @meager ore

I’m trying to start getting myself into shape. The first step I’ve taken is to exercise everyday, but I’m doing very basic things and I’m not sure if I’m doing the RIGHT things. I’m also not quite sure what to do in terms of eating better, vitamins, ect. I’ll explain what I do right now, but I don’t think it’s very good because I’m not quite sure if I’m exercising the muscles I need to and I’m trying to improve my routine.

Sorry for my grammar I’m kinda high ngl

I especially want to build muscle and possibly improve my posture a bit

violet swan

Trying to get into shape and be healthy, while also being kinda high, that’s a bruh moment

#

what're you doing for exercise currently @wide whale

#

if you want to improve posture it's important to balance any kind of pressing with pulling work

#

especially stuff like face pulls

wide whale
#

I do something pretty simple rn

#

I run up and down my hill 3 times to warm up

#

after stretching

formal lotus
#

Stretch after warmup

wide whale
#

then I just do 50 pushups, crunches/sit-ups (can't decide what to do with these due to them not necessarily being the best thing to do every day), and squats. I've only been at it for about 5 days now so I wanted to start extremely simple just so I could get myself into the habit of going outside to do it.

worthy cloud

it might be worth buying a set of resistance bands so you can get some pulling work in

if you don't have any gym access

can't neglect the back muscles

Hey, I've got a problem with my hands,idk if it's a circulation problem but basically it can happen in my right or left hand seperately/or at the same time, it's predominantly in my right hand though.

is it actually proven beneficial to take days off from playing kovaaks? currently just playing 30 mins to warmup

There nothinh really proven it about how you feel it yourself a lot of these thing are mental

If you dont like kovaak on a specific day or dont feel like it and just want to hit a game

Then do it

No point of forcing yourself to must play kovaak because there tons of way to warm up in any game

@feral cobalt i used to have the same problem. I started going to sleep at a decent our (23/00) and waking up around 8-9 am. As soon as i wake up i go for a 30 min walk and started working out. Since then i always have warm hands

#

most of the blood is like in your legs, so if you don't activate them and workout, you'll have poor blood circulation, at least i think that's how it works 🙂

feral cobalt

I was actually planning on setting a sleep cycle and doing a workout in the morning routine in the morning @abstract vine 😅😅 it's not like a 24/7 thing I have but when you have it and you're gaming/doing something with your hands you feel kind of off 😋

@violet swan Most people tell themselves they can't work out because they don't have equipment. If you want to be healthier, try to enable yourself. Just start out with small distances, like a mile or two. Ideally you want to start running two miles a couple of times a week minimum, that will really help you out with endurance.

@mellow void Anxiety in competitive games is very normal, I been thru it, the way I dealt with it is constantly reminding myself that "it's just a game" and take a deep breath, try to stay calm.

Also, try to seek teammates that don't yell at you when you commit mistakes, constructive feedback is important yes, but avoid the people that are constantly pointing fingers

And don't restrict your playstyle, if you see a chance for a risky play, then do it, even if it doesn't work and your anxiety kicks in, gotta remind yourself that it's just a game

#

being true to your own desires is the only way you can break yourself from that prison

#

and on the other hand, how can I improve muscle reaction time?

is it better to play with a chair that has no armrests?

brittle coral
#

Both my wrists are making a popping noise when rotated they also occasionally hurt when doing random tasks, any advice?

urban mist
crisp lodge
#

at that price i think getting a used herman miller would probably be a lot better

#

i got an aeron for 220 and its no doubt the best chair ive ever had

I stretched my arms, hands and wrists and they're still shaking.

violet swan

#

idk how to say in english but did u relaxed ur body?

small kayak
#

#

violet swan

violet swan
#

is it your hand or arm

#

put a wet towel beside you to wipe the sweat

terse willow
#

i think i might have rsi

#

Whenever i play osu i get a throbbing pain in the middle of my left forearm

#

which is what arm i click with

wild grove
#

is your arm

#

pushed onto your table

#

cause people use their arm as the pressure point

#

to avoid wrist pain

#

for osu

#

should heal over night

terse willow
#

its not in my wrist

#

its like my forearm

#

in a vertical line

#

its also not necessarily when i play osu, it flares up other times too

worthy cloud
#

There are finger tendons in your arm

terse willow
#

so would it make sense to assume that i do have rsi

violet swan
#

best to consult a doctor

terse willow
#

aight

violet swan
#

if you have money, yay

#

damn, you must be loaded, wanna help a brother out? pepeboost

#

yeah, gaming chairs are usually just bullshit, the herman miller x logitech one is actually made for comfort

weak oxide
#

@mystic path knew what before because the logitech one is new release. The usual one are 300-400$ more expensive

#

There are slight different between the 2 but nothing game breaking

#

You can check the review to see the different but it not any deal breaking for the price the one cheaper is better.

#

Chair is also preference it not 100% embody gonna be for you since a lot of people like aeron nore and vice versa

#

Steelcase also a good option

#

Embody are more focus on posture

#

A lot of ppl think that if it feel like sitting on cloud, it good

#

But it not

#

So the embody aint gonna feel like a sofa

#

If that what you looking for

#

It ofc not stiff

#

Just to clarify

#

I dont own one i just test sitting at store

#

But definately gathering money for it

#

I mean it is comfortable but it not a sofa

#

And imo sitting on a sofa 8 hrs not gonna be good for your body

violet swan
#

I have the shakiness in my wrist only when I move the mouse from left to right and it has not gotten any better after 150 hours in KvK. I wanted to ask if anyone who had a similar problem actually managed to fix it because at this point it is becoming really discouraging.

native grove
#

I used to have it, For me it just got better after a while of playing the game (200 hours playtime rn) Not sure if it's the same for everyone though

violet swan
#

I am doing the smoothness routine before actual Gold routine every day and expected some amount of progress but not improving at all. I will give it some more time I guess. I will come back with the results after 300 hours. Thanks for your answer.

worn wolf
#

@violet swan make sure you'll also keeping up with health related things. eating enough food, drinking enough water, getting enough sleep.

violet swan
#

I definitely will. The thing is, when I move my wrist left to right, my biceps get involved as well. I can feel a string of muscle tense up and the same thing happens when I click the mouse button. Totally irrelevant muscle parts get involved in the process. I am following that clue at the moment. Will let you know how it goes.

worn wolf
#

@violet swan that might be due to a lack of flexibility in the necessary muscles/joints so supplementary muscles are having to be used in order to aid with the movement

what is a healthy daily mg of L-theanine?

@worn wolf I personally take 200mg a day

violet swan
#

table too high, arm too straight

#

my arm rests are too short and I can't adjust the height of either

#

don't use arm wrest, it puts pressure on your wrist, restricting blood flow

see if you can raise the chair, use footrest if you want

#

yes I don't use the armrest

#

If I raise the chair my legs press into the desk

#

so how should I rest my arm?

#

how thick is your desk?

#

you got a tray underneath? if not, then the height is fine

#

no the desk is on the floor

#

huh?

#

what do you mean by tray?

#

like a keyboard tray or a drawer

#

oh yeah there is a drawer

#

hmm, ok, nothing you can do about that

#

what makes you say it's too high?

#

you arm not angling much

#

oh

#

elbow should be at your side

#

oh

#

but it's ok, just not amazing posture, you can still get good aim

weak oxide
#

you shouldn't reach too far

violet swan
#

I have decent aim. I just don't want carpel tunnel or mouse arm

#

should I put like half my forearm on my desk then?

#

that would be better

weak oxide
#

or just sit closer

violet swan
#

I was sitting pretty close in that picture

weak oxide
#

but ye half forearm pretty good imo

alpine spoke
#

also dont tense your arm when playing and stretch regularly

#

stretching takes like 3 mins or so but its worth it

weak oxide
#

i mean depend on what game you play

alpine spoke
#

i mean stretch your wrist

weak oxide
#

you can always stretch between matches,queue

violet swan
alpine spoke
#

stretching between matches might make your aim feel off tho

violet swan
#

that's better right?

weak oxide
#

if you play OW you might able do a workout session and take a shower

violet swan
#

siege and val are my main games right now

#

lmao

#

it was destiny but that game is trash now

weak oxide
#

ngl but like either you not sitting up straight

#

or you just leanning back to your chair cuz it look like you are reaching

violet swan
#

sit closer and arm to the right more

alpine spoke
#

theoritically that would be a perfect position

#

but in practice nobody sits like that lol

violet swan
#

his desk is too high for that

#

yep

#

and I can't adjust the arm rests

weak oxide
#

can you try to move closer to the desk as possible

#

and move monitor deeper into the desk

violet swan
#

I sit like thatpplaugh

weak oxide
#

play on desk instead

violet swan
#

I mean did you see the pic I sent? The black thing is the start of armrest

weak oxide
#

i mean if that the case you can just sit closer

#

then would be ok

#

then you will have less reaching out

violet swan
#

like I'm as close to the desk as possible

weak oxide
#

ye it better imo but also depend on how your chair is too if it a bad chair you can't just sit upright meanwhile having the support

violet swan
#

I guess I could remove my armrest

#

it's some 70$ ikea chair

weak oxide
#

if it removable ye

#

markus usually removable

violet swan
#

yeah I remember building it

weak oxide
#

just remove it and putting back again

#

to see how you feel first

violet swan
#

my main concern is like health risks

weak oxide
#

i mean if table too high

violet swan
#

so like in the pics I sent is there anything that that position will lead to that you can see

weak oxide
#

and you not tall enough

#

then your shoulder will be a problem

violet swan
#

I heard that was caused if it wasn't supported

weak oxide
#

anyway gotta work tomorrow all i can help is that much imo if you can't adjust your chair then getting a better table might be a good choice

violet swan
#

but if my arm is resting on my desk then it doesn't have the weight to support right?

weak oxide
#

just try to reach less

violet swan
#

I could remove the drawer and increase my chair height

weak oxide
#

that would be ideal

#

and way have a good one

violet swan
#

thx, you too

#

I think I have diabetes. I’m thirsty right after I piss.

I just started working out everyday 2 weeks ago

#

do you have any tips on which protein powder, supplements i should buy

#

and what to stay away from

worn wolf
#

@tame fable if you're like new new to weightlifting, i'd stick with just protein powder for now. which protein powder you choose can depend on what your goals are. some protein powders help with bulking, some with cutting.

tame fable
#

Alright, thanks

rapid folio
#

I would recommend regular whey protein. Shoot for 20€/kg max.

#

Supplements are overrated as fuck

vast temple
#

Bruh don’t buy protein powder yet. Cuz if you stop working out then u waisted money on a tub of that shit, u not gonna use

tame fable
#

Bruh don’t buy protein powder yet. Cuz if you stop working out then u waisted money on a tub of that shit, u not gonna use
@vast temple Why would you stop? 😂

vast temple
#

?? Idk but people be quick to stop the workout

rapid folio
#

I mean working out or not protein intake is a primary factor of health either way

hollow spade
#

Green tea is yes

alpine spoke
#

generally the benefits you get from increased protein intake when working out peak at around 0.75g per pound of bodyweight

#

so u dont even need whey

#

for a 165 lbs person its like 120 grams of protein more or less idk dont wanna do the math

#

i use whey for greek yoghurt to make it taste better and in my pancakes etc

#

and shakes when im too lazy to cook stuff

#

also lifting weights everyday is stupid dont do that

#

same with calisthenics

weak oxide
#

doesn't protein shake boost your metabolism real high

alpine spoke
#

what

#

no

#

cardio boost your metabolism

weak oxide
#

like you eat way more than you usually do

alpine spoke
#

no

#

exercise does that

#

the more calories u burn from exercise the hungrier u are usually

weak oxide
#

fair

alpine spoke
#

check out greg doucette on yt

plush hare
#

I lift weights 5 days a week rn

#

is that bad?

alpine spoke
#

i mean as long as you let each bodypart rest for 48 hours

#

then you can lift even 6 days a week

#

Push pull legs push pull legs rest

#

when doing pull and legs you let your pushing muscle groups rest

#

so you can train 6days a week that way

#

generally you wanna aim to hit every bodypart 2-3 times a week

#

how you do it its up to you

#

fullbody 2x-3x times a week

#

upper lower splits

#

or ppl

#

id say most PPL is the most effective for beginners

#

the the thing that matters the most is how hard you push yourself and whether or not u eat enough calories and protein to grow

#

anyway

#

i really suggest to watch greg doucette on youtube as most of "fitness youtubers" are full of shit nowadays

mellow turret
#

I can't seem to focus during aim training, it just feels like my head is empty and in a blank stage

#

I'm also getting tested for ADHD

#

Is there a correlation?

winter abyss
#

If you test positive yea

#

Try listen to some music or something

mellow turret
#

Damn

#

One of the biggest reason why I started aim training was because I thought my aim was horrible but I noticed that I don't even look at my cross hair all the time

#

Every other second I'm staring at different places

alpine spoke
#

same lol
