Don't be devastated. A loss on time doesn't really spoil a fun game.
I am absolutely devastated
Sort:
Yeah honestly that is devastating. 30+0 is basically the worst time format because you enjoy it most of the time, it's alot lighter than 30+20 somehow, but then once in a while you get these games that make you wanna quit chess because you actually flag in a "Classical" game...
If it helps a bit, these games are often actually some of your best games showcasing your highest level of play.
For example this is probably the best game I ever played, but I'm still really annoyed a month later that it ended in a draw. I completely outplayed a stronger opponent but ended up having to premove, losing a Rook in the process.
That's the reality of +0 chess. Play 30+20 my bro.
and for the record, I did end up breaking 2000 (lichess) after this game so it's all part of the process

it was a tournament so I didnt have a choice but ill take your advice thanks
2+1 is supreme
just yesterday I achieved 1300 Elo in bullet
the day is too short to be playing 30+0 and even more so 30+20

If you are happy with your level sure,
Those who want to improve play 30+20, 15+10... 10+0 if you are in a hurry 
binging 1.5h of bullet while drooling and guessing moves takes the same time as playing one 30+20 game...

but you will need to contend with people taking 5 minutes per move while playing 30+20. in the span of one game i could play 15 games of bullet...

if so explain ArkadiyKhromaev's 3450 bullet rating? its higher than all his other ratings. explain the fact that my elo went up by 149 in the last 30 days. even your elo went up by 83 during the same period

Mr 3000+ bullet is 100% Classically trained at some point in life... probably was very serious competetive as a kid already..
as for me? I just don't bother to bring it back up after I tilt and lose points...
I just played the craziest game. It was 30 minute on lichess.
Nearing my time trouble my opponent offered a draw, but I kept playing. I lost on time with a M3. I am absolutely devastated. https://lichess.org/jx4Yu0Nu Here is the lichess game.
