Xenology is an unnatural mixture of science fiction and formal logic. At its core is a flawed assumption...

that an alien race would be psychologically human.

Technically 10 years ago because Thorin is a moron, but still. It took long enough, but it was worth it.

I'm super impressed C9 managed to regroup after letting Overpass slip. That had to have been so demoralizing.

Why is the deagle considered bad? It seems like guides don't recommend it. In general I think my economy management is really screwing me over after the first three rounds.

It's rather expensive for a gun that isn't very accurate. It has a supreme one hit kill range for pistols, but followup shot accuracy if you don't make that first shot is extremely poor, and will get you murdered more often than not. Other common pistols are cheaper and more versatile, as well as sporting much better moving accuracy at shorter distances, where aggressive pistol-wielding is preferred.

Is there a good place to get VODs reviewed - e.g. a subreddit or something? I'm looking at them myself, but figured having someone else run through one and tell me my top 10 biggest things to work on or something would help. I can see my positioning fuckups on a micro scale -- e.g. repeeking, or not jiggle peeking a corner step by step, but not the macro stuff, like where I defend, or rotate, or choose to buy.

Also, Silver 2-> 4 so far lol.

Post them here. A few of us in higher ranks (including myself) have done that for other posters. The highest I've gotten is SMFC and have one recent season of ESEA under my belt, but other guys like xen, garfu, swift, depths, arf, and a couple other goons are well suited for this type of thing since we (and other posters that I may have forgotten) have tons of experience with this iteration and previous CS games.

If you did post it the soonest I'd be able to get to it would be tomorrow evening after work, unless someone else is gracious enough to take that task on.

That would be great! Any preference for the type of round? I was planning on just posting my most recent round, which was a relatively even ish win, but where I think I (like always) do a lot of stupid stuff.

Just post the share link to the demo. Here's an example of when I did it earlier this year for a fellow poster. I was kind of a dick about it, but I got my points across. It may be difficult to comprehend what I'm getting at since you can no longer download the demo that I'm referring to (I'm guessing that the map was cache), but this would be the easiest way to do things.

EDIT: gently caress it, just add me on Steam and I'll run through it tomorrow with you if you'd like. I typically get home around 7pm EST.

Oh that looks like great feedback. here's the share link: steam://rungame/730/76561202255233023/+csgo_download_match%20CSGO-CpNEi-HyYCk-4ELLY-NE47s-A3VTB


One other thing which would be helpful from the review is just identifying what the biggest thing I need to work on is. Like, I know my grenades are poo poo, but so is a lot of other stuff, so I'm having trouble figuring out what to prioritize. I think my aim doesn't translate as well from FFAs or arena shooters I've played since I tend to freak out in comp more and fire before I've lined poo poo up -- the low TTK in counterstrike psychs me out a bit. I think partially that's just a mentality thing and I need to just focus more on aiming etc than winning.

Oh, don't worry. You'll be told what your greatest weaknesses are at this point, but even without watching your demo I'm going to say work on your aim, DM a shitload, then DM some more, watch demos, play comp games, DM some more, work on crosshair placement, then DM some more.

gently caress it, just add me on Steam and I'll whip you into shape. I typically get home around 7PM EST.

Signs have been pointing to this.

It's a 4K iMac so it's only like a year old. poo poo sucks so bad. That with my loving spotty internet? Sucks because I essentially have to take it in now because I've done all I can (unplug for ten seconds, plug for 5, turn on (the suggested steps)) and moved it.
