Okay, so I’m probably going to sound like a nagging parent but I just had a really scary experience and I feel like I need to warn everyone I can.

Make sure you drink water every few hours while playing smash. I was just discharged from the hospital for severe dehydration from a 40 hour play session. I was actually drinking mountain dew to keep myself awake, but the doctor told me that soda doesn’t properly hydrate ( I didn’t know that, I thought any liquid could hydrate you ). That combined with my excessive sweating from my palms apparently caused me to pass out. I’m just glad that my mom came into my room to yell at me about being “a lazy ass” I might have died. You know, I bet that bitch would have felt sorry about calling me lazy if I had died due to her negligence (she refuses to help me find a girlfriend, which is why I play video games to avoid my depression).

Anyhow, I just wanted to pass this story along as a warning to anyone planing long smash seshes. Make sure to stay properly hydrated! Thanks for reading and don’t forget to smash that upvote arrow!
