Being jaded about something is so cool. You're just as useless as everybody else, but you get to be irritating and bitter about it.

Nearly the full width of my pad needs to be used to hit the 180, though I'm also using a standard steelseries pad which is something like 14" in width?

e: my sens off the top of my head is .9 at an 800 dpi

Wait so going from the center of your mousepad to the edge does a 90 degree turn?

Why is the sun always bullying me?

Any particular reason why case hardened items have shot up in price? My gut knife that normally hovers around 65 - 75 bucks is now 90 dollars. My AK that is normally 32 bucks now costs 47.

Today I won a 1v1 in Cache and blew my team's mind in the process. The bomb was on A main, and the CT was watching it from checkers. I sent a smoke to cover his line of sight and picked up the bomb. Then, in an apparent stroke of genius, I just went and waited in the sunroom/flashroom instead of immediately rotating to B and trying to plant. After the CT had rotated all the way to squeaky assuming I'd go B, I just sauntered in A and planted the bomb, and won easily by camping like an rear end in a top hat.

Turns out this simple maneuver I call not doing something at all times was some next level poo poo.

Another trick mere mortals cannot even hope to grasp is to send a decoy near a site, then silently walk towards the site anyway. People are never fooled by decoys, but for some reason they assume you can only throw a decoy one way and go the other way.

I'm guessing the Trilluxe and Anomaly unboxing videos got around (both unboxed some of the best blue gem items, ever) and kids are impressionable.

My point stands :colbert:

Played a few more faceit matches today. The people seem way friendlier than MM so far, but there is a larger skill disparity. I played in teams which had lem's and also silvers.

You made me check my own CH AK and it's gone from $27 to $43.

I'm definitely jinxing it by posting this but I've had some extremely solid teams for my past like 6 queues. Granted, two or three of them I got thrown in with LE/LEM as a MG2 but it's fun when your team is actually playing together and communicating.

It's just luck of the draw.

The only CH thing I have is a Falchion knife and it dropped like 15 bucks in the past week. My dumb Christmas music pack is up to 46 bucks though.

My ST MW Redline AK used to be around $80, but the other week I checked and it shot up to $135-$140. I have no idea what made the value go up, but I'm going to keep it 'cause I love my mouztrap.

I outplayed a guy who kept going squeaky by throwing a molly into squeak once he opened it, then waiting a little while, then spamming the door once the molly went out and the guy would be returning. felt good to get that frag, even the guy was like 'wp' in the chat

This game is the actual god drat loving worst. I'm trying to grind my 10 wins and I'm 0-3 in my past 3, but the most recent one just sent me into loving tiltland.

First round, bomb goes afk first round, second round becomes a bot.

2nd rounds "srry guyz mouse is broken plz kick"

At 0-7

"gently caress this im done"

gently caress I HATE THIS CANCER OF A GAME

I don't think I've had an actual 5v5 for the full 30 rounds ever. If you leave a comp game it should be a loving auto week ban

...I just need two more loving wins

he expands on a quote from a SSBM player: "How many times must you lose because of "not playing well" before you realize your biased memories of peak performances have mislead you ?"

It's about how players at all levels experience dunning Kruger. definitely didn't need to be 20 minutes long but it's still decent

Can anyone give me some AK advice? I don't want to say I'm awesome with the M4, but I generally do really well with it. On T side though I'm 100x better with the Tec9 than I am the AK.

Long range, I don't the the first shot is all that accurate. Someone did an analysis of the shot randomness and concluded that its always better to let two or three shots out at long range. It increases the likelihood of one of them striking the head by a great deal (assuming you're properly aiming for the head).

I don't remember who it was but the way they explained it reminded me a lot of that 3 door riddle and the effects of probability.
