Bleh, maintaining isn't maintaining anymore
I've been thinking about posting for a while now, but not quite sure what to say. Perhaps I'll just start with a few screenshots that show the heart of the issue... It started with: yay!

How does one maintain their game everyday, 7 days a week, 31 days a month, 365 days each year?
Listen, being a champion isn’t about making others stumble—it's about pushing your own limits every single day.
