Day 11/30 days of productivity!
I am person who learns by writing down everything. I guess I am kinestitic learner but I am also a visual learner... but I like listening to thing rather the reading even if it’s faster for me to read and understand it :P
What kind of learner are you?
Coping Skills for when You Lose Your Cool
You just rage quit from a game with friends. You screamed at them in call and typed all your grievances to the enemy team. More is at stake than your ability to play. It is easy to ruin a friendship when you are passionate about the game. We can genuinely be sorry for yelling at friends in call but not fully understand how to correct our behavior.
Damage Control
Good PR does this and so should you. You need to talk to your friends about what happened. This is your mistake and you need to take ownership of your anger. If you are too angry to talk to them in the moment macro a message to your keyboard or mouse that says, “I am sorry I lost my cool. I will talk more once I have had time to calm down. I am isolating myself for the sake of others around me.”
After you have calmed down you need to talk it out with friends. This isn’t about the game or mistakes made in it; it is about feelings. You can say what things upset you, but you need to ask how they felt when you raged at them. Your friend’s feelings are just as important as yours. You need to talk about ways they can help you calm down so it doesn’t escalate to that level.
You also need to apologize for your behavior and be genuine about it. Don’t say sorry if you don’t mean it. Think about how it could have gone better and what you would want someone to say if they treated you that way.
An example of mine: I had been playing ranked games all day and was on a losing streak. A higher ELO friend invited me to play with his higher ELO friend for some normal games in League of Legends. We were in call and everything seemed to go just fine. I told them as long as there was no pressure I wanted to learn a new role as well as how to play a new champion.
They told me to lock in a champion that I didn’t understand and made jokes at my expense when I started to lose. (Note there is a difference between general joking and mocking someone for not understanding). I tried my best to perform in game but became upset. I asked for help via voice chat. I also typed in game for help from other teammates. Ultimately after he said, “maybe you are just bad and shouldn’t be playing this game.” I became furious.
I dropped call, muted everyone’s typing and pings. I stopped communicating with my team and watched as the game went down in flames. After the game was over I blocked the other high ELO player my friend had invited on both voice and the game. I sent a private message to my friend that said, “I am willing to learn and play with you but I will not play with him again.” My friend understood the way my anger works and gave me space to work through it. I messaged later wanting to know if I could do 1v1 matches privately so I could learn mechanics without the pressure of a game. This helped me to grow mechanically and I was able to talk out the things that I was upset about.
Justified Anger
There is a difference between toxic anger and justified anger. When we respond out of anger to remove people from the game or our life it usually is justified. Make sure you have tried to talk to them that their behavior isn’t acceptable before your remove them. If they don’t listen or change the behavior then you need to remove them from your friends list.
You have a friend who is gaming with you but starts insulting you. They talk down to you. They use profanity to insult you. They threaten you. Tell them their behavior is not cool. If they continue to berate you then you have every right to remove them from your life. Do not stoop to their level and try to correct the behavior further. If they try to connect with you on other social media (this one is particular for female gamers) block them and report them if you can.
No amount of groveling or claiming to be reformed should be taken seriously. The anger they expressed in that moment, especially if threatening with violence, should not be taken lightly. This is for your mental health. You acted out of anger to remove them and shouldn’t be forced to accept them back into your life.
If they are higher ranked than you and promise to carry you, but then act violent in game, they aren’t worth it. You can go on Reddit and find new friends or higher ranked players. Regardless of the things they promise, by keeping them added you are saying that toxicity is okay because they are good at the game.
Even if these ‘friends’ have gifted you things in game or real life, you don’t need to keep them in your life. If they cause you anxiety by being online then they shouldn’t be on your friends’ list nor have an avenue to talk to you. Toxic behavior shouldn’t be tolerated especially from those who are on your friends’ list.
Creating Your Own Education Lesson Plan
I struggled with math throughout my entire academic career. In elementary and middle school I took a stand against my teacher saying mad minutes created anxiety and didn’t teach me anything. In freshman year of high school I didn’t get along with my Algebra 1 teacher at all. I chose to not turn in 13 homework assignments because I had been trying and getting less than 50’s on them. Quiz time rolled around and I was still making 45’s and 62’s on them. When it came time for the six weeks grades to be released, I had made a 69 for my overall grade; this stopped me from being able to participate in region orchestra. There are many students who struggle and have some story like this, for some subject.
With the number of gamers I have known to complain about education, it is time that they take their education into their own hands. True it is your teacher’s job to teach you, but from what I hear they don’t know how you learn or what your goals are. When I did substitute teaching so many kids told me it was their teachers fault that they had bad grades. If you have a teacher that isn’t getting through to you, follow this route:
1. Go to office hours/tutoring with your teacher
2. If you still don’t understand find the head of the department at your school and have them try to help
3. If you are still struggling there should be a curriculum advisor who can see about transferring you to a different teacher.
4. Read the chapters in the book and do the unit quiz/test. (teachers sometimes make this homework)
5. Ask your teacher what core curriculum standards they are trying to get you to achieve. These are standards that are set up in each state and what the state wants to see when you graduate. Teacher’s lesson plans are supposed to be in line with this and their 6/9 week goals should include this.
There is only so long that you can claim a teacher is in charge of you not learning. If you are in elementary school and struggling you can find the head teacher for your grade level to ask for help. If you are in middle/high school it will be a department head for that subject in your grade. I struggled and felt stupid because my teachers refused to use different methods to teach me. By now if you have been following all my articles you will have figured out what your learning style is and what kind of intelligence you lean towards.
The gaming lesson plan is rooted in education lesson plans. Here is a model one for an essay:
Task: 3-5 page paper with at least 3 sources
Duration: About six weeks but you waited until now
Directions:
· Thesis statement should be a sentence that is supported by your texts. Usually teachers give you a bunch of questions/writing prompts; make the question into a statement. This should be considse but not fully explained at the beginning of the paper
· Whatever sources you have scan quickly to find keywords related to your essay topic. The source needs to be 2 sentences that talk about that topic in some way. Shape your opinion of the paper based on what the majority of your sources say. (If you are creative and can argue against it obviously you don’t need this) Ex. You are writing about the Salem witch trials, scan for words: witch, lawyer, trial.
· You need a sentence to lead in and introduce your quoted source. This can be who is talking and when they said it relative to other information in your text. Ex. Doctor Eeks said this in relation to child development before explaining his own thoughts.
· You need 3 sentences to explain the quote. What is happening? Why was this said? In what way does this support your thesis? The more you can explain (which can be matter of observation or opinion) the more words you have to work with.
· Another 2 sentences to explain your opinion on the subject taking the source into mind.
· Final paragraph should include the thesis statement further explained. This is where you go into detail of how all of the sources support/relate to what you believe.
You know how you learn best so use that to your advantage. Nobody can learn for you. Try to experiment to learn something.
If you are working on vocabulary and struggling, trying playing charades to act out what the words means. [Kinesthetic]
Try having someone repeat the word and you say out loud the definition. [Auditory]
Try copying the word three times on paper. [Reading/Writing]
Draw pictures of what the word means on the front of the card with the word. [Visual]
Keeping this in mind will help us level up within real world applications and in game. Challenge yourself to think differently and show that you are master tier in your own education.
