When I played with my friends years ago we played custom maps for fun, then when I bought CSGO dust2 had just rotated out. Never came up in the queue.

Sensitivity numbers won't help you much because there are multiple variables associated with your mouse speed. You have your OS mouse speed, any drivers you have may affect your DPI or sens depending on the manufacturer, plus mouse accel, and I'm sure there are others that I'm forgetting.

IMO it's best to download an aim map and practice your flicks, or go into a DM server until you feel comfortable with the speed. You want it to be slow enough you have pinpoint accuracy, but fast enough you can do a full 180 degree turn (or really I like to be able to turn about 270 in case I'm wrong). Anything higher than that and you're hurting yourself.

I just switched from 1920x1080 to 1024x768 and while it takes some getting used to, I actually feel like I'm getting better hit reg. I understand this might be placebo effect, but I'm happy I'm back to getting 20+ kills every game. For a stretch I was getting single digit kills and it always felt like my aim was on but I couldn't get anything to connect. Like ghost bullets phasing through people.

The sens thing is basically a thread meme. (1.21 @400) It's also generally assumed you're using 6/11 on the Windows mouse speed like a civilized human being. Mostly people consider mouse accel a bad dumb thing, so that also generally doesn't come up in the conversation, although there are a few people around here that use it, I recently switched to a low exponent with m_customaccel 3.

Photex knows how to practice his aim, although he could certainly use some more time doing it :smugdog:

I feel like I remember your name, assuming you used the same name back then - what teams were you on? I was a mid tier CAL-m scrub with no chance of ever making invite back in like '01-'04ish so it's entirely possible I got wrecked by you at some point. Now I mostly just play MM and goonmans just for fun in CSGO, haven't played on a real team since probably 2004. Ranked LE at the moment but I feel like I'll never ever be close to as good at this (or any) game as I was when I was a teenager.

I feel like there was a real pride in grinding your way up back then that I'm not sure really exists anymore. But I'm not really a part of it, so who knows.

I'm using a lovely Logitech g402 with the logitech drivers, and I'm using 800 DPI. 1.21@400 wouldn't even be enough to do a 180 with the length of my mousepad (it's a relatively small funcpad, compared to those huge mega cloth pads) so I don't know how the gently caress y'all play like that.
6/11 is where I'm at, no mouse accel, but I dunno what m_customaccel even does.

same name since 1999, so yeah probably me. I played for a few teams, started in CAL-IM with a friendly team Yinyang, moved into CAL-P with Sweat in the inaugural season, and I played in CAL-I with TEAMTX, IWA, and later with a "remake" of BIO.

Then you have a responsibility that no man has ever faced. You have your fear which could become reality, and you have Godzilla, which is reality.



Still not enough room to do a 360 with low sens imo.

if you don't have to wash your mouse pad you either 1) are a billionaire who replaces them way to often 2) don't realize that the reason your mouse randomly skips because of it or 3) aren't using it correctly.

Probably best off buying a usb c->usb female dongle. I can't imagine a worthwhile usb-c gaming mouse.

Maybe a Bluetooth Logitech?

New high score in a goonman. I got nine kills, mostly thanks to my team telling me what to do. My team literally had to tell me to shoot a guy whose hand was sticking out of some smoke.

I liked making people laugh, even if they thought I was being stupid on purpose :( that will be the part I remember.

Answering texts and crap like that during goonmans is plain disrespectful to everybody, how did I think that was ok.

Real talk: documenting and compiling a playlist of how much you hate one particular person is creepy and goony as gently caress. Some sad high school bully poo poo, honestly.

That said, it's obvious these people treat you like poo poo, so why do you bother apologizing to them incessantly?? It's sad and annoying.
