Team Fight Tactics Zero to Master: My 501-Game Journey to Reach the Highest Static Rank in TFT

Introduction Hi, I'm ninjahoahong , a casual gamer with a fondness for strategy games. After achieving Queen rank in Autochess three months ago, I sought a new challenge and turned to Team Fight Tactics (TFT). Despite my experience in the auto-battler genre, I soon realized that mastering TFT would entail a significant amount of learning and trial-and-error. In TFT, players aim for two types of ranks: static and dynamic. Static ranks, like Iron, Bronze, and so on, reflect overall performance and skill level in the game, achieved through consistent play and improvement. As a casual player, my aim is to reach the highest static rank, Master. Additionally, TFT features dynamic ranks that change based on recent performance, such as Grandmaster and Challenger. These ranks are more temporary and competitive, requiring steady performance to achieve and maintain. While they're admirable, I'll likely aim for those dynamic ranks next, but as a casual player, my focus is to start ...

Chia sẻ: "Daily Routine To Fight Off Depression" video from Psych2Go

"Daily Routine To Fight Off Depression" là một trong những video mình thấy rất hay về việc giúp hình thành những thói quen giúp cho cuộc sống bớt cẳng thẳng hơn. Video có phụ đề bằng tiếng Anh có thể dùng để ghi chép lại và dịch ra tiếng Việt nếu cần thiết. Ngoài ra bạn có thể dùng chức năng "Auto-translate" và chọn Tiếng Việt để coi video với Việt sub. Làm như vậy tuy có một ít sai sót nhưng vẫn có thể nắm được ý chính của video.     Reference:     The video from Psych2Go youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCkJEpR7JmS36tajD34Gp4VA - ninjahoahong

Scripting with Java

I think Java is quite verbose for scripting. However, it can also be fun. I wrote a very simple experiment of ls command. You should try it out. Download file ls and chmod +x ls then you can run ./ls . There are no flags/options supported.😆 - ninjahoahong

My books review: Money for the rest of us

Overview: The "Money for the rest of us" book is a list of 10 questions serve as a guideline to invest. It is light book with not many pages and can be read during commute time. The book does not require audiences to have any special knowledge. My impression: The author, Mr. David, is very friendly and patient to answer my questions. The 10 questions are greatly explained by the author, and I think they provide a good starting point. However, I think anyone who wants to invest should build their own checklist and a general guideline for different situations. When a general guideline is in place, the decisions need to respect the guideline in order to make consistent decision. Consistency , in my opinion, is the most important in the long run as it provide information for constant feedback and improvements. Overall, I think this is a good book that helps improving my decision making process. - ninjahoahong
