Newbie tries to read a random book

so im not a huge book reader, im more of an audio book guy, i dont know what came over me and i picked up this book for some reason. 

the book im talking about is titled codename verity. i picked up this book completely in random, the cover wasn't that special in my opinion and i didn't know who the writer is i didnt do any research about what the book is about. I DID NOT EVEN READ THE SYNOPSIS. 

i came into this book thinking that i was just gonna read a few pages, get bored then put it in my shelf. But it was different i got completely engrossed into this book. let me tell you what the basic jist of the book is. (im not gonna spoil the story of the book because i liked it. but i think the story was pretty common? like nothing was particularly extraordinary about it im a story point of view).

the book is about two female characters caught in the world war. one is a mechanic/pilot and one works in the communications of an airfield and they become friends because they are the only two females in this airfield. the book details the story of how friendships made during the war are something else and what people are capable and willing to do to help and find these friends when the situation they're in forces them to be separated. 

this book was amazing in my opinion and i got so attached to the two leads that i almost teared up towards the end of the story and the twist and the climax of the story was revealed. 

i haven't checked any reviews about the book and i think ill be doing the same to any future books i would be picking up. by doing this i entered the world of the book without any expectations and i liked it. this is a in comparison to another book i tried to read, one which i did a ton of research unto. i think i the reviews messed with my impression of the book and i didn't enjoy it until my second reading. 

To any one who might be reading this, i would suggest you do the same. its a great experience and your mind would be clear of expectations going in. 

im not gonna re read this blog i think i was rambling and lost my point mid way. But i want this to be my way of writing things. i guess this is a slight peek into the mess that is called my brain.

Newbie tries Valorant with a crappy laptop

First of all, my laptop is an Hp pavillion i think it's a 2015 model and has a built in video card (some low spec nvidia) though im not a tech whiz i know that this laptop is very outdated. just to play valorant with 50-60 fps i have to re-format my laptop and delete everything so that valorant can eat up all the space i have in the laptop. I can say that you will not enjoy playing valorant if you have a low spec laptop or pc. you will find yourself constantly losing duels because any change in the screen (ex. smokes, walls, or even enemies sometimes) will cause your frames to drop and 80-100% of the time the enemy will have fired a whole clip unto you before you can even react becuse of the lag.

playing with friends on the other hand, is a very different situation. it's always fun to play games with friends but valorant is a different beast than for example COD or fortnite. Because of the hero pool in valorant, you can use "passive" heroes or "agents" as they are called ingame to support your teammates without engaging enemies. heroes such as sage, cypher, and killjoy are sentinels who are amazing at holding down sites. with these agents, you can buy time by using your skills such as slows, binds, and aoe damage skills to slow down the enemy's advance buying time for your allies to rotate to your site. But if you want to dip your toes on different agent classes such as initiators and duelist. i suggest you upgrade your tech first. 

all in all being a newbie with low spec laptop or pc in valorant is not an enjoyable exp. you're gonna be consistently out played by players with high fps and find your self at bottom of the standings every game. 
i would suggest playing with friends, using sentinels, or just upgrading your tech if you have the funds so that you can enjoy valorant to it's full potential.
