I feel bad because it was my first match of the day, I was stoned, and played like trash.

Why is it a bad thing to play on a server where people don't do what they usually do in matchmaking? I like to think outside the bun.

Tacos are good too

You were there, and there's a demo. At first I was talking, pointing stuff out. There was no anger. I ran down suicide the last two rounds, said goodbye, and left


No one in particular was frustrating me. I didn't get mad at any one person. I just think I've had my fill of goonmans

The goonman vibes have been utterly pitiful and it's been a whole bunch of whiny infighting so I've been avoiding them in general. Pretty sure goonpug is slowly dying because of this poo poo.

loving MM has better vibes right now

Goonmans have actually been pretty positive lately. And the server often is extending beyond the 14 player cap.

playing against and with people who are way better than you is how you get better, and the normal way to play games from before 2011

goonpug it up and listen to what people say

it's gonna be way more valuable for you than low-tier MM

The problem with me is that if I can't have fun in CS:GO if I'm not doing well. If I'm bottom-fragging in MM, even on a team with good vibes, I feel miserable.

Well, a lot of people feel the way you do about it. However, if you make the game more about just picking up on what other people are doing rather than focusing on your statline then you'll find you can have a lot more fun. Nobody is really gonna bother you if you don't do well, I promise! Of course, if you end up on the wrong person's team it can be unfun but that's how it goes in MM too. C'est la viet!

I'm usually bottom at the start and then work my way up to top or 2nd at the end. If you haven't pre-practiced, it can take a few rounds to get into your rhythm/learn the other team's predictability.

That's silly, man. If MM is balanced you're gonna be bottom fragging at some point or another, especially in rankup games.

You can also fail to get kills but be a huge boon to your team and contribute directly to wins with good intel, grenades, just keeping an eye on sites and all kinds of poo poo. I don't do any of that, but it's possible.

And for the record, I didn't get mad at bad people, or bitch at anyone really (I just watched some of the demo to make sure). It's just run it's course for me. Goonmans are still kosher for new poeple

However after talking with Dorky a little I may pop up here and there.

Yeah, I try to be helpful. I'm usually the one to callout and I also get quite a few assists from entry fragging. It still doesn't make me happy when I'm lowest on the scoreboard, though. I feel like I haven't contributed enough in that regard.

I can confirm that no-one cares about rank - I'm so poo poo at this game and fed up of pubbies I haven't even won 10 matches in MM to get a rank yet - no-one gave a gently caress, vibes were good even when I hosed up, and I learnt more in my first two Goonmans than I had two years of playing CSS and CSGO on UKCS and public servers.

tl;dr goons are wankers, not rankers

Break from the drama for a sec: My mouse is dying and I need a new one. I'm a broke college goon so I can't afford to just straight up replace this old Corsair M90 with an M95.

My local-ish computer store has the Logitech G402 for $39.98 instead of $69.99 (Canadian monopoly money). Is it worth it? If not, any better suggestions in the sub-$50 USD range?

Completely agreed here lately. A couple people have been shutting it down slowly.

God forbid you try to have fun in Counter Strike.

You have to constantly watch how you come off or you'll make someone upset and they'll do their best to make the match poo poo for everyone. But, somehow it's still a good time when you have the right people on.

Did I dream the fact that for a brief moment the Counter Strike.net blog had pictures up of CSGO dresses with patterns based off the chickens?

Not just that, Valve designers created the patterns for it specifically.

i mean, for the most part i don't care if someone is having a bad day in a goonman (i'll shittalk a teensy bit but, as my lack of a shift key shows, i don't put the effort in to actually anything, especially contempting people who are worse than me and i hope they realize that), what makes me mad is when a person who IS bad 99% of the time starts getting angry at teammates for whatever reason, but this doesn't happen very often. just BUrself and i will try to give some positive vibez if im not on tilt (I AM ALWAYS ON TILT)
