Why, that meme must be nigh-on 3 years old now.

Close, but I feel like there is a point where you settings check. Like o man if I change my crosshair I'll get better.

There definitely is: resolution, sensitivity, and crosshair checks

There are probably some skin purchases in there as well either at the top or at the bottom depending on what kind of person you are.

Do people really still do this? I don't think I've touched my settings in 2 years - I feel like fiddling around would just make me worse

Granted I'm still pretty bad as it is so maybe I should give it a shot. I feel like not having time to play every day/multiple games a night keeps me from going on tilt though.

When I was totally new earlier this year I changed all the time and now it's less and less frequent. I've gone a month without a sensitivity change and I've changed resolution but only because my fps gets lovely sometimes but I'm pretty set on 1080p when possible

Crosshairs are meaningless enough that if you want to change something to make things feel fresh you should do your crosshair and your gui color or something because it just doesn't matter that much

I don't think so, but all of their casters are as bad as him, so it doesn't really matter.

How often should I be replenishing my armor? Let's say i buy kevlar/helmet, survive the round... How often should I be spending the 650 to refill the armor?

Shamelessly stolen from http://counterstrike.wikia.com/:

wiki posted:

"In general, the point at which rebuying armor may become useful is found by determining the maximum damage to armor that may be sustained in a round before the next damage applied will kill the player. For example: of the most commonly used weapons, the weapons with the lowest Armor Penetration (and therefore lowest HP Damage to Armor Damage ratio) are the Glock and P2000. The Glock can inflict 12 HP damage/8 Armor damage. A player can therefore survive up to 8 hits before dying. The maximum value of useful armor in this instance is 8*8=64. Contrast this with the P2000 which can inflict 15 HP damage/8 Armor damage. At this rate, a player can survive up to 6 hits before dying. The maximum value of useful armor in this instance is 6*8=48

Unless a team can afford full buys for the rest of the half regardless of round wins/losses, it is important to consider the point at which rebuying armor is equitable and not just the maximum armor potentially required. Another example is as follows: of the most commonly bought weapons, the weapon with the lowest Armor Penetration is the M4. The M4 typically inflicts 22 HP damage/5 Armor damage. At this rate, a player can survive up to 4 hits before dying so the maximum value of useful armor against this weapon is 5*4=20

If a player previously bought a helmet + kevlar, is shot, and purchases the helmet + kevlar again in the next round, the player will only be charged $650 to replenish the damaged armor, regardless of where the player was shot."

Of course if you're playing against people who are draining your armor to this point instead of killing you, you probably are doing well enough to not worry about spending money on armor.

Launders' content is good in that analyst type role, but he needs to be a tiny bit more animated and stop saying "em" all the time. He has a very relaxed but sometimes monotone voice.The play by play guy is bad.

tbh id rather listen to bowcut mouret +1 than launders and that other guy. theyre probably weaker contentwise but their talking is easier to tolerate. whoever is casting right now sounds like hes emulating Dunn and it needs to stop immediately.

That was just C9 being straight up anti-stratted(sp?) after playing that map and doing well the last three events. Time to change up that CT before Cologne.

Sometimes I wonder what I'm doing with the precious little life I've been given. I just spent three hours of the night alternating between playing with and getting carried by literal children almost half my age that I met in solo queue

Russians in NEU get a lot of poo poo, but god drat these scandinavian kids can be incredibly obnoxious when they put their minds to it, especially when they're winning

I went and played hockey tonight and there's a lot of parallels between that and Counter Strike, one of which is that if you play drop-in games you find yourself hanging out with literal children more than you would think.

I should probably do this as well since I have been messing up pistol rounds a lot recently.

Just find a pistol only DM. I'm better with pistols than I am with rifles because I don't have to worry about recoil, just natural deviation, and movement is such a loving huge factor.
