Dilemma Thought

Last Saturday I bought two items from best buy, both Logitech: M570 Wireless Trackball Mouse, G430 Over-The-Ear Gaming Headset.

A source notified me the sale for the headset was $30 off, as I've been looking for a new pair since my old Sony around-the-head on-the-ear headphones were dying out and lasted for no more than 4 years I believe (christmas gift too). I bought a new pair with earbuds as backup or to let my hair dry, but those quickly broke in a matter of a month (plus wouldn't stay on my head properly and had to constantly keep adjusting them to stay) and couldn't find the receipt for a refund. The earbuds worked but wouldn't fit properly in the ear and would be a bit loose but not enough to slide out (that and earbuds are terrible at sending bass).

The headset works great, can hear the bass again as I listen to music, yay! Also tested out the mic, after disabling the mic that was built into my laptop, and according to a friend I sound better and handsome, though I think she was just teasing me...

I also needed a new mouse as my laptop's left mouse button was glitching on me (1 click could do a double click) but would need a stationary mouse as I have no room for a normal mouse. A friend of mine in our weekly-ish DnD nights had a trackball mouse that looked similar to what I have but different color (her's is white with pink ball). So found one that was on sale for $9 off, but seems that was either online exclusive or in select stores (eh, $9 isn't much for me so no harm).

It has taken me a long while to get the hang of it and constantly changing the sensitivity on it... I finally have a feel for it. Right now trying to improve on dragging it to small-like boxes and aiming in some games, like Starbound. I still use the trackpad for idle/clicking games so I won't break my new mouse so quickly. Just need two fingers tapping quickly in turn on the pad!

However, prior to getting this mouse, I took another break from TF2 till I gotten a new mouse... now that I have the mouse and getting better with it... I'm questioning if I should even bother to go back to TF2... or just let that part of my life die in the past...

The server I usually went to is beyond repair with corrupt administration that would recruit anyone if they ask, most of which would be teenagers that don't know any better in terms of power and how to use, and a head admin or two that don't know the rules for each server and just do things willy nilly and get away with it 'cause they're friends with the other head admins/server owners... That being said, I strongly advise you to avoid The Outpost (not to be confused with TF2 Outpost).

Seeing and hearing the state of TF2 while on the break prior to getting the mouse... feel it's just not the game for me anymore. Unless friends in Antilia plan to host a server at times for a match and have at least 10 joining I may play it again, but I'm done with randoms. Majority of what I encounter is self-entitled teens/young adults that are too competitive than fun.

I'll let that part of my life die out, along with the game as well.
