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

Well, I will argue that you can feel the rise in input lag if it drops below 165'ish (even though it doesn't go below 144) and you are used to running 200+ most of the time. I guess if it is stable you won't notice much though. Otherwise something else was acting up when I was in the middle of B on overpass and mine would dip close to the 144.

What's the refresh rate on your monitor? If your FPS dips below 2xRefreshRate you will notice issues, supposedly anyway.

Dunno I'm not super into this stuff, it's just what I've seen a bunch of people, that know more about graphics performance than I, say. I used to enjoy computers before I started working on them, but now I don't keep up with consumer type stuff much, my job doesn't have me dealing with video/graphics, and when I get home I want my poo poo to Just Work.

Delete your maps and workshop folders. Frees up 10gb+ and you'll see an increase in fps.

Doesn't this mean you'd have to redownload all the maps though?

I've only had a few really bad teammates, but tonight one guy voted to kick someone in the second round of the game, after we lost pistol and the kick-ee didn't win a 4v1.

The ones you actively play, yes. Your copy of de_mill_b2_v4_final from 2012 will be gone forever though.

Go take a look at all the poo poo in those folders. Unsubscribing from the workshop doesn't delete them from your hard drive.

The cries of the dead are terrible indeed; you should try not to hear them.
It's lowkey kinda awesome how some of the names of spots on maps have names that have lasted forever and ever. I remember it was called Kitty on cpl_mill because there used to be a loving poster of a cat on a billboard beside it. Some variation on mill or tuscan should have been back in the rotation two years ago, but whatever. It was always a really good puggy map, similar in style to cache/mirage, which usually made for good games.

I wish tuscan/mill would come back. despite never playing leagues on it, i agree with you that it seems like mirage/cache in that you can put an awp in any site based on spawns to open up every round

Nice play! Your clip is another reminder to me why I switched to the P2K on CT side, I feel like people can't spam back vs. the glock when it holds angles like that.

This is gonna sound terrible, but map call-out spots are a huge hampering to me. I tried to google some stuff about callouts, but they all direct me to awful, what I think is, convoluted overlays. I have no idea what's good

I should mention I'm a huge jerk newbie.

In the beginning of the match run around spamming your push to talk key and you'll see the name of your location by your voice icon. One weird trick that teammates hate.

If you look up at your radar you'll see that it tells you your location. However, there are some spots on maps that have different names given from the community,such as how Pop Dog has remained a staple on Train.

I, rather, meant callouts to certain locations ie: "Jungle," or "Park."

Pop Dog is a location. Two different locations, in fact, depending on if you're EU or NA.

If you can't remember the name of a callout, try and describe it in relation to the standard callouts (or other callouts you know).
There's pretty much always going to be a long and short to both sites, a mid, and a T and CT-side of every area, which is the section closer to their spawn.

"2 crouched by that big/small/red/blue box near mid on A site!"

"He's about to push the doors on B!"
"He's T-side connector!"

etc.


Also, if you don't know what a callout means when somebody says it, you should just say "I don't know that callout". If you're dead wait until the end of the round, if you're alive say it loving immediately.

Once you get to a higher level of play your teammates will instead give you more useful information like if the person is lit or not.

I'M NOT TRYING TO GET BIG AND BULKY OKAY WE ALL FAIL DIFFERENT GOALS
Calls i routinely make:

*on getting a rare kill* "i'm so good it's insane"
*on being caught out of position immediately afterwards* "i'm so bad oh my god 99 in 4 what the gently caress is this gun i didn't even hit the other one 2 long"

How that should have been called
"One dead long"
"2 more long one has 1 hp"

Will i make those calls? God no.

real dilemma
Apr 12, 2007
particularly for tournaments like starseries starting tomorrow, is there some conceivable way to know whether any matches were good games worth watching the VOD without the results being spoiled? for those of us who will be either sleeping or at work while all of the matches are being played

My calls don't make sense since I routinely misname spots and I have the shittiest flashbangs out of anyone on sub.io

"That flashbangs did nothing" - King, about 3-6 times per half.
