I'm using 2 @ 400 dpi. I've noticed that if I've been playing for a week straight or so I'll start to psych myself out over things like how I'm sitting or holding my mouse. Turns out the actual problem is that I'm just bad.

Is it recommended to bind a jump-throw command? I've never had an issue with just jumping and throwing, but I had no idea that people actually bind it to one button.

I like Zoo but I haven't played a good game of Counter-Strike on it yet. Kinda like real life, it's not the zoo that's horrible it's the people who happen to be there when you go.

My friends and I tried Faceit and every game was either incredibly one-sided, or didn't start because someone failed to connect. I would try Cevo again, but honestly I just wish I was good enough to play ESEA.

#3 is pretty helpful. Hopefully I don't cause someone on the other team to activate their ragehacks because of it.

...Why do people in MM start playing like poo poo as soon as they realize they're making a comeback?

Like, poo poo, we went from 3-10 to 12-12 and all of a sudden they were like "oh poo poo we could win, better play like complete loving retards".

Counter-Strike is a game of psychological warfare or whatever.

That is valve's gimmick with csgo. A bunch of ranks also have something very slightly off center in their picture

I want to stand next to the DJ with my arms crossed and nod every now and then, pretending to know what they're doing.

Holy gently caress, I thought you were kidding, but nope. That's a driver update with CSGO optimizations listed in it. What the gently caress, AMD?

When CS:GO first came out I had to flash my BIOS because of some issue the game was having with AMD processors. Good times.

Do USB Ethernet adapters work just as well as if you were to directly plug in an Ethernet cable? My computer has had issues with its Ethernet drivers since day 1 and the wifi adapter I've been using has led to many frustrating moments in Counter Strike (i.e. last nights Goonman).

Watch one of your demos and pay attention to where you're looking. My sens is 2.3 @ 400 but it looked a lot higher because I move my mouse around way too much and it looks jittery.

i like having to try 60 different retakes servers before i find one where people aren't votekick racing, usually with a >100ms ping

My general rule for joining a retakes server is to pick anything that doesn't include pbfortress in the name.
