I don’t blame my dice when they fail me. I replace them with new ones while I burn the old ones for their failure. Burn the bad juju away.
-
My bad habit is watching youtube instead of painting or finding people to play with. At least I'm taking ownership of my failing?
-
I think Uncle Atom got fed up with someone's crap.
-
Passing the blame or avoiding responsibility is something that we all do, but as always... taking responsibility of ones actions, helps you grow not just in wargaming but as a person... Uncle atom’s helping you not just to be a responsible Wargamer but also to grow as a person, 10/10

Blame yourself .. but without emotion .. be analytical and ask why things happened and what you can do to prevent re-occurrence :)

" A poor craftsman blames their tools." I really love that quote and invoke it when I think "I need that new compound miter saw." or " I need athat fancy new brush." ... It's saved me a lot of money and improved my skills in a lot of areas because I focus on getting better at what I do, and not buying my way up.

In my gaming group, after we finish playing, we ask the question: "What did I learn about the game today?" Was it a unit was better/worse than expected, was a list poorly written, was deployment not the best...and we all talk frankly about what worked and didn't work. It makes for a great improvement, and teaches us all to take responsibility for our own actions. And occasionally the conclusion is "Gee you rolled badly at that critical moment...but why was you list built around passing that roll?"

Is that a funhaus shirt? That's a funhaus shirt. Uncle Atom is best uncle.
-
my bad habit is not being able to stick to a single army long enough to get more then two units painted

Life is 10% out of your control and 90% how you react to it.
-
In education, we call this the 'Growth Mindset'. Absolutely agree!
-
Thankee for putting this information out. It's so satisfying to know that we're not alone.
-
I have to admit at the start I was thinking if you get bad dice rolls there's not much you can do about it... but you are right there is always a chance of bad rolls so WE need to build a list robust enough that if a unit gets a bad roll it's not game over

I’ve been working on a language change for the last few years. Instead of I did not have time, to I chose to make other things a priority. It is a slow change but it has worked for me to have a honest conversation with myself on what is important. It is still a work in progress like any new habit.

Hey Adam. I really appreciate this video. I’ve been struggling a lot in my wargaming(and other hobbies) and it really results in a huge fallout with some of my friends and teammates. I need to remind myself of the issues and when my lack of preparation is the cause. Thanks for framing this in a healthy way. Happy wargaming!
-
“That would have worked if I had rolled better” is my reaction to most things that go wrong for me
-
I can’t believe you’re wearing a funhaus shirt. Heck yeah
-
The worst habit a gamer can have is not respecting the power of “PACHOW”! 👊🏼💥
-
Atom, hard truths are difficult to hear but necessary sometimes ... good advice. By the way, I like the new t-shirts.

OMG, this is why I love this channel! It's my "Zen and the Art of... Miniature Painting and Wargaming".
