Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
Yea, the time...that's the main reason I stopped playing as you already knew... But now I also noticed how I'm way less stressed than before. The fact that I realized how bad this game was for me in general pretty much killed any interest I still had
So I really can't see myself coming back to the competitions in the foreseeable future. I have pretty much no reason to do it, especially because I can still keep in touch with the community even without playing (which is the unhealthy part of my involvement here I think)
