You do that when the bomb drops, not continuously and definitely not while someone can peek you. If you do you might find you, in fact, are the retarded

not sure if you need quotes like "CapsLock", but make sure you have another bind just for voice_enable 1 because it is easy to 'break' it by pressing capslock in situations that binds won't trigger

I kind of want to make more involved binds that cycles my voice scale 0.3-0.1-0.05 or some poo poo because sometimes I'm listening for footsteps and forget to untoggle and miss calls which really pisses people off but :effort:

I CANNOT HANDLE BEING CALLED OUT ON MY DUMBASS OPINIONS ABOUT ANTI-VIRUS AND SECURITY. I REALLY LIKE TO THINK THAT I KNOW THINGS HERE

INSTEAD I AM GOING TO WHINE ABOUT IT IN OTHER THREADS SO MY OPINION CAN FEEL VALIDATED IN AN ECHO CHAMBER I LIKE

Did a second banwave just go out? I got the "people you have reported were banned" a few days ago with the big wave, but I got another today. Also, feels good to be vindicated, I think I've reported a whopping 3-5 people in the past few months and I bet all of them were legitimate hackers.

Why would you look at the radar in a 1v1 without smokes around

If you don't notice it in your peripheral vision (while in a situation where tunnel vision and committing to your crosshair placement is the most important) you're hosed

do you not use black bar 4:3 so that your radar is closer to your crosshair? if so, lol

If you place values at the end it toggles between them. So do voice_scale 0 1

not during a 1v1, there's no information you can glean that you can't see on your screen that changes (the bomb won't be moved if you're the only T)

except for very specific circumstances like trying to spot someone through smoke on the minimap of course, or if someone pulls off the garbage gambit on you; in all other situations you're risking getting surprised for no gain

I do, because there's more than one car on the road, and mirrors provide extra information I can't glean from my vision. The minimap in 1v1 only shows you what you can see.

The cries of the dead are terrible indeed; you should try not to hear them.
There aren't really many reasons to look at your radar in a 1v1. Pretty much all of them have to do with either smokes or the bomb. Looking at your radar is a good habit to be in for sure, lots of people don't, but it's probably actively a downside to constantly glance at your radar in a 1v1. What are you hoping to learn?

I am glad my driving does not go like my cs play because if it did, using this analogy a car in front of me would slam on their breaks unexpectedly and then shoot me with an awp, every time I checked my blind spot.

Looking at your radar is a good habit to be in for sure, lots of people don't, but it's probably actively a downside to constantly glance at your radar in a 1v1. What are you hoping to learn?

there are two big reasons: information and eye strain. the radar sometimes spots things for you that aren't immediately apparent which cuts down on a lot of the visual clutter on a lot of maps. this gives the gamer the advantage in many situations. sometimes i shoulder peek or jump peek and just look at my radar so i have information to make plays. 2nd is a more nuanced point but human eyes aren't meant to stare at one point (your xhair) for extended periods of time otherwise you lose definition in your peripheral vision. scanning the screen, like glancing at your radar mixes things up enough so ur reaction time doesnt suffer from your dulled senses. i'm personally never staring at anything on my screen for more than a second but i am gamer so

i would argue that the radar cuts down on a lot of visual processing but you are free to believe whatever you want and can continue to play poorly if you wish to. i consider myself a more cerebral, tactical player who relies on accurate information and reading an opponent using long hidden eastern jutsus i unlocked from wallscrolls bought off jlist. western counter-strike, much like western culture is chauvinistic and selfish relying too much on inflated egos rather than reliable and effective methods of performing. many of you gaijins could stand to learn a thing or two about efficacy by reading the study of toyota production system hopefully in nihongo

at the end of the day you have your bad and incorrect opinion and i have my good and right statement of fact mandated by heaven and tempered by experience.

i'd like to leave you all with this zenrin poem:
