You're just making an assumption on how other people enjoy their games; you can't make absolute statements about things that are based on people's personal tendencies. Some people might have fun by using a schedule to steadily work towards their goals at getting better at the game.Bauxe wrote:

If its for something like homework from school, or learning something, or work, yeah a schedule makes sense. But for playing a game, that's just taking all the fun out of it. It makes no sense what so ever.
Some people have fun in games by improving, so this could be his way of having fun.Bauxe wrote:

Except these schedules don't make you better than simply playing a mixture of them. In fact, I would argue that mixing it up more will help you reach goals than working on them one at a time.B1rd wrote:

Then maybe he doesn't actually have fun by improving or reaching goals and has fun by having a schedule ¯\_(ツ)_/¯Bauxe wrote:

Believe it or not, this was the most useful piece of advice on this thread. Others could give you practice routines, sure, but in my experience I've found that the best practice routines for me are routines I come up with myself. When it comes to HR, all I can tell you is that it doesn't matter if you spam HR and fuck up your reading, because you can just undo that by spamming EZ afterwards. I did that - not on purpose, but after enough HR I could only read AR10, and after enough DT only 10.3 (shitty as it may sound, even AR10 felt too "slow" for me after a week of straight 10.3). Then a reasonably high ranked player told me that I should just play EZ to read higher ARs better. I spammed EZ as well and now I can read pretty much anything between AR4 and 10.3, though I still suck more at lower ARs but do better on them than most players I know.winber1 wrote:

Ay, it seems like most people who force themselves into routines quit the game much quicker.Tess wrote:
Also, in regards to Bauxe - I agree with B1rd and cheezstik that you really should just leave people to enjoy the game in the way they want to. People always act like I'm some sort of heathen because I like to retry maps often, because "it's not fun and it's a cheap way at getting a good score". Besides the fact that there's no cheap way of getting a good score that doesn't involve hacks or cheating, if I find it fun, I don't really see what the issue is.
tl;dr practice yourself and Bauxe stop being a stick in the mud

Getting yourself to spam EZ after spamming HR is harder than you think. Besides, randomly mashing on EZ maps isn't going to improve your reading.
For G&R, that really is something.buny wrote:

in all honesty though, I still think the "boosted" technique is the dumbest thing I've ever read

Then it's those people you're referring to as people who don't have fun with routines, and in that scenario, you're right. We're talking about enjoyment though.Bauxe wrote:
