I fail to see how those things can't be attributed at least in part to lack of interest or, if you would prefer, "a superior interest in other things over this". I didn't want this to turn into an "I'm objectively busier than all of you because I'm a law student" so I didn't say that so I'm not sure why you brought up what you're doing in school specifically. I don't think that's going to be a very fun, fruitful, or pleasant discussion.Heysup
I really disagree with you on this. School is very time consuming, it's why I went from always being on Showdown during high school to maybe on sometime during the weekends. I'm definitely not alone in this; Rowan dropped being TL for similar reasons. Sure, some people don't play just because they're lazy and don't feel like building until the end of the week, but it makes me really irked that you say that school/work are bullshit reasons. Sorry that I'm trying to get two degrees, maintain a high GPA, all the while maintain involvement on campus in order to make myself more appealing for graduate schools later on. This is not a bullshit disguise for a lack of interest and/or laziness, I genuinely do not have time, and others I know for sure are definitely in the same boat. To quote you yourself, "speak for your mothafuckin sel[f]", and fuck off just because you in your "busy" schedule have time to build, test, and whatever during the week enough for three teams.
What I did say is that I'm at the very least in the same boat and yet I somehow still find time to play uupl, nupl, lcpl, adv cup, dpp cup, powc because they really do not take a long time to prepare for at all (#speakingformyself). I think it's kind of insulting to everyone's intelligence to say that it's just because you are busier than everyone else you can't tag on some time to build another 2 teams per week (at most) and 30 take minutes (at most) to play two extra games. To put it in your perspective: If you 'had time to "get two degrees, maintain a high GPA, all the while maintain involvement on campus", play 1 DPP game per week, and post about how you don't have time to play another two games' do you not think you would also: 'had time to "get two degrees, maintain a high GPA, all the while maintain involvement on campus", and play 3 DPP lc games per week'.
It kind of sounds like you're taking my post out of context and saying it applies to "generally playing pokemon" rather than increasing the games you're playing by a whopping 2.
I honestly do almost all of my prep / forum posting while shitting (#tmi) or eating (sometimes at the same time but don't tell anyone). Or I just do it when school is slow and I will not have time to build later (ie. rn when I should be studying instead of posting about this rip)
I'm sticking to my argument that if you have time to play/build one DPP game per week I don't believe that fits magically on anyone's "last marginal minute you can spend on an extracurricular activity".
