I often find myself instinctively seeking immediate solutions whenever I encounter a new challenge or problem. Whether it's using immediately Google, ChatGPT, or reaching out to colleagues for assistance, convenience seems to take precedence over effort in my approach. Interestingly, during my teenage years in the early 2010s, I consciously avoided smartphones and social media, but since embracing them during my bachelor's and master's degrees, I've noticed a decline in my attention span and willpower, a trend that seems to be much sharper than the expected one. Even though being able to frame questions effectively and identifying appropriate sources for help are valuable skills, I fear that I've become reliant on quick fixes, neglecting the effort required to acquire deeper knowledge and skills that aren't readily available.

Even in activities I enjoy, such as playing the guitar, I tend to lean heavily on tabs or chords rather than trying to improve my ear and understanding of music theory.

Approaching my 30s, I'm determined to break free from this perceived dependency on instant solutions. I know that knowledge and understanding come through challenges and effort. I am stuck to quick dopamine hits.

Has anyone else had a similar experience?

From webapp About page:

Welcome!

Battletech CCG is a fantastic card game. Wizards of the Coast discontinued it in 2001. This service exists to help people play a game using their physical deck remotely.

To get started, create a new game and send your friend the gameId. They can join. Then click "Initialize" and "Call" buttons to start a video chat with them.

When you play a card from your deck, hold it up to your camera and the service will capture it and match the image to a pristine image capture of the card that you can place on your virtual table so your opponent can see it.

With good lighting and steady hands, the image matching works 100%. But if it doesn't, just show your card to your opponent through your camera, and then look up the pristine copy by name.

Use click, control-click, shift-click, or alt-click to tap, add counter, remove counter, or zoom in on a card. Click your die to roll it.

Need some cards to build a deck? There are lots on ebay!

Need some help buildling a deck? Try 20x resource cards, 20x mechs, 10x command cards, and 10x mission cards.

Everything is copywrited and/or trademarked somewhere by someone.
