don't think so
oh I forgot one trck this one's really
cool you can hit it on the ground right
but instead you hit it on the
foot or your
knee
okay all right so that was fun I love
learning new things no matter what it is
but I always ask myself like why beating
bloodborne without dying or spinning a
Frisbie or Slinky what like what's the
point uh but I think besides the obvious
one of it it just being fun I think it
no matter what you teach yourself the
best skill that I've learned from doing
different things is the confidence of
knowing that if I put in the time
eventually I will get it and there's
something very powerful uh about having
that confidence so I think no matter
what you learn stick with it even if it
seems kind of pointless at least for a
little bit I think having that
confidence to knowing I can do it is one
of the most valuable skills of all so
Slinky as fun as it is I might just be
slinked
