WHAT A LOVELY DAY

down with slavery posted:

we have 6 right now and there's already spikes in choke/var, and the sv goes red every time a round starts

not convinced it's viable, although I'll give you that it runs much better than I expected

I'll eat some humble pie, on the completely free tier seems to run perfect at 5-6 but when we are at 8 players we are getting a stutter every other round or so. Its got 600mb of RAM and 1 core, CPU is running at about 30% so I think the option where you get reserved resources, 1 core and 2GB of ram for £9 a month would be solid

Just got to 10 and it was running about the same as it did 8, thanks for testing everyone

The latter mostly.

There's been like three noticable waves of Goonmans throughout the years. The OG years where the vibes were super high and the skill was all over the place, the dark middle ages when vibes were poo poo and skill was middling to bad, and today where vibes are okay and the skills somewhat high for the most part.

vvv k1ng, garfu, sants, prolific(who'd old but hadnt played for awhile), dorky/quilty/rye(all the same person btw) are okay and I still consider newish, corncob and his buddies were okay. depends who you consider 'new' i guess.

Maybe I'm just getting worse so everyone looks better(it's this).

Cent's fall from grace into DOTA marked the end of the OG era imo. Straight impossible to maintain vibes that high without him calling every kill bullshit.

loving miss those days

I remember playing with you and slumpy when the game was fresh and GO:ON was a new thing, far before servers for pugs and groups of more than 10 that would play at any time. Back when everyone was a DMG :)

I will make a complete official time line of goonmans. Someone remind me next time I am online. I want to do a "where are they now podcast" and talk to Cent and his wife, the second episode will be Slumpy, the third will be Roach, and then Hoods.

I love snax, I must watch some of his povs. I watched a couple of olofmeister on mirage and cache, definitely worth checking out. He plays alone a lot so you get loads of ideas for solo q.

I've been a silver player for some time while trying to get good with the M4, AK and AWP. It never happened. My aim with those guns is terrible, but I'm pretty good with everything else in the game. I'm vocal when I need to be and I generally know what to do. I decided to play all my competitive games using only P90 and the auto sniper and just rely on lucky sprey with those guns while I focused on the other things in the game that I'm not terrible at. I've been doing this for three nights now, playing about 3-4 games each night. I've won every single game since then with a top score and went from somewhere late silver to gold nova 3.

For how long do you reckon I can keep this up?

Lost my first game in a long time with 16-14 due to two russians on my team starting to argue and killing each other. I'm not sure why since I don't speak Russian but they were angry. They finally became friends again (I think), but then one of them accidentally hits the other dude with a grenade to the back as we rush B from T spawn on Dust II and he gets deleted with a 30 min competitive restriction.

Does anyone know if losses even impact you negatively if you're still top score with over 68 points?

A loss is always a loss. Nobody has proven anything about statistical relevance of frags. So assume they don't matter.

Skins are more important than stats didn't you know.
