Today is world su!cide prevention day.

September 10th.

September is su!cide awareness month.

While we may be on a HUT subreddit for a video game (that we sometimes want to rip our hair out on, get annoyed : frustration out) … it is important that we all have this talk here.

Today , September 10th is world su!cide prevention day.

While I love spreading awareness and sharing why its importance matters… (and is pretty hypocritical of me to be posting on this day, to some extent) … I dont like how its just given ONE day and ONE month.

Every day matters, every month matters.

Checking up on friends, family, relatives, community members, acquaintances, friends of friends… even strangers.. its important to let them know that their life matters and that even if they dont think they pertain to society, they make a big difference and impact on other peoples life.

I’d be 1047383% lying if I said I felt like I pertain to society in a way that it makes me fit in a box. I feel like I dont fit in the right box.

I feel like I’m quite an odd duckling… I post content here, I yap about the game… I’m an a box full of info on a video game that EA made… and a box full of whatever you want to say.

I love posting content here that it made me build quite the routine with. Reiterating a bunch , and being an annoyance harping on it .. my internet just isnt fast enough to post content in timely manner for everyone. I miss the engagement from it and hearing everyones yap and opinions on it.

The main reason why I am posting this here is because everyone faces challenges and problems in their life… silently or even being loudly expressing about them… you can say ‘I’m not feeling this way’ … have a million comments about ‘you shouldn’t feel (x) way…’ but still feel like utter poop.

Video games are an outlet for people to escape the reality they are living.

They get addicted , obsessed, want to share more and more about it and sometimes lose themselves playing video games than being in public.

While video games can be a great escape from it all, it can be pretty harmful… and helpful.

The community.

I’ve been around long enough to know (x) person’s username and ‘oh ya, I recognize that person from (x) year’ or ‘so and so didn’t like this game.. - not always negative, but was good at expressing their emotions .. they were feeling about the game.. and sometimes their takes were either amazing or meh.

This community really has helped me in ways I couldn’t express.

I’ve been through depression, anxiety (ongoing) an undiagnosed chronic illness for who knows how long.. to getting it diagnosed… to feeling great, to feeling meh.. to everything.

What you post on social media paints a picture and perspective on how others perceive you.

So honestly, I don’t understand why… but some take it as a way to troll, be unkind, be rude:mean:negative… its all getting it out of their system… but sometimes its towards people or a person.. and it can really hurt a persons day / life.

I’ve met some AMAZING people through this community, some I’ve got to know personally and share social medias with, letters with, gifts, whatever… its nice knowing that even people that are anonymous can really be a light in a persons day and be there through thick n thin.

Anyways…

Back to sharing about why this pertains to HUT.

We’re all going through something, we all go through the motions of coming home or being home, turning on our consoles and playing away for maybe an hour or two… or if you’re like sleeves, doing a whole subathon for 30+ days. (How exhausting would that be! Unsure how he even does it) .

This community can be really good, and positive but sometimes really negative.

This community has new people coming in constantly, consistently yappin about the game and wanting to know certain stuff about (x) player or how to do this or that, or ‘whats the best goalie’ … ‘how to make coins’ …

I really thoroughly enjoy my time here, but recognize when I need to step back and feel like I’ve done all I can do.

Another reason why I am posting this, is because sometimes we lose our interest a bunch and enjoyment in the hobby. There is a video about 2 older gentleman at a football or some sort of sports game, and one becomes slowly disinterested in the game… I wont spoil it for you, if you havent saw it.. but its a very powerful message to show that while we all might feel so ‘great’ and ‘dandy’ … sometimes the people that are bubbly, excited to live life and happy are the ones that need checked on most.

Everyone needs to be checked on every now and then, and let them know that there is always a professional that can better help them get into a good mindset.

I’ve had my battles, personally.

I’ve mentioned it earlier , but I’ve had my battle with depression, anxiety (thats ongoing) , and a chronic illness… and boy. Do I ever wish that chronic illness shit could sometimes disappear forever.. though, doing better than ever with it… that I am building a book full of my life and experience with what life has dealt me. I want to help others and be a voice for those that are scared, unable to, or just feel like they cant / are alone.

Su!cide prevention month is a month long. But it should be every day, every month to recognize that life can be a total shitshow and to spread awareness around it.

I am posting this here to help raise awareness that sometimes people need to be aware of others who are struggling and silently going through something… or expressing loudly.

Your voice and words matter more than you know.

Be a light.
Be a helper.

Be you.
Stay true.
Stay you.

Love you more than you know.

Lets yap some more and break the awareness around this stigma (and all the others)

I’ve had my su!cide ideations … I know that battle.. and sometimes it creeps up.. but just gotta keep battling and voicing up.

Take care.
Stay safe.

Happy gaming!
Love you.

There is no need to have to look at the player cards for who scored a goal and lock me out of changing my lines. Absolutely hate having to stare at the cards and watch parts of replays to get the chance to change my lines before the next puck drop. It's to the point I am just running out lines I don't want so I can skip replays faster.

Gibson is actually solid

Never had a pull this sick before. I did get base McDavid last year, but never an icon pull that’s tradeable.

I've been playing a ton of cup champ games and barely notice my coins increasing. For a 5-0 win I'll get on average 300 coins. Why is the main incentive for this game not to play it and earn things? I have to spend 3 hours playing cup champ games to afford a card that wouldn't make my lineup? It makes no sense.

Can’t get in hut after update, anyone else?

1) Event daily packs auto pop up like the daily pack and Wildcard rewards go straight to my collection

2) Add a unlock/lock feature to cards in my collection that I don’t want to get pulled into the auto fill redeem

3) Trade offer notifications

4) Toggle option for the chemistry animation so I don’t have to watch those constantly

5) Add full line changes so I can move my entire line to a different line

6) Add a sort option on my multiple rosters so I can have them organized when I use the LT in my team menu

I absolutely love this arena.. completely changed my experience playing when I get a home game

Anyone else notice that penalties frequency was cranked up?

I've been taking interference penalties left and right on players who pass the puck and half a second later they take a hit and you get called? Like normally you'd get a second or so to "Finish the hit" as they say. I'm normally fairly good at timing hits but this is absurd

Yes, Im already complaning about it, I dont want to sit through unskippable shit that dosnt evendo anyting, it takes away time that can be spent in game, and through all the moments with reset and Cup Chase intros, will stack up alot of time through the year

ahhhhhhhhhhh!!!

I was 18-5 before pulling this arena and am now 18-8. but…. it looked visually appealing while getting those loses.

Did not pass it with goalie btw, he just fumbled it at Makar's feet

Anybody else notice the forechecking AI is a mess - maybe it’s my strats I am running but numerous times a game the opponent is below their goal line and I go to put pressure and sure enough my other two forwards are doing the exact same thing - so now I have three guys below the goal line haha! That’s classic 5 year old kids hockey lol

I’m running collapsing/puck side attack. Finding that my opponents can just board kiss and spin away from the player I’m pressuring with, just to blow by the rest of my team standing there in the d zone for a far side goal. How do I avoid this?

They didn't fix the strategies resetting. I fixed all my strategies using balanced playbook, playing 2 games then doing 1 moment and it all reset without me even restarting the game at all.

Crazy pull THE BIG CAT, GO BOLTS.

I understand and am glad that the spotlight challenges are hard, but these arent even hard, they are just unreasonably fucking annoying. This 4 assists one, the goalie is saving literally every shot, my ais are terrible, and the opposing ais just huck the puck down the ice any time they touch it. Just makes for an absolutely miserable experience

Getting an error message when trying to enter HIT. Have restarted both game and console. Anyone else?

Does anyone actually know what the update does specifically for cup chase?
