Pro tip: the community is a loving joke

see: what happened w/ flusha

Pro'er tip: every community has bad apples.

Flusha shouldn't be getting death threats, but he also shouldn't be making blanket statements about an entire community. I am indifferent to his "shady play style" since he's not VAC banned, but I am definitely against him painting everyone as a "loving joke."

idk if u guys are playing on ancient computers or somethig but i could go home and play csgo at a solid 60 fps on my 3 year old laptop without any problems

Well, on any other server I'm hovering around 150-200fps depending on settings so I'm guessing that's not the issue at play.

Thanks guys, I'll try the -processheap thing.

This is a community that literally loves to poo poo all over games with DDoS attacks just so they can have new shiny things to look at in-game. This community loving stinks and I've been a part of it for about 15 years. There are bad apples, but I'd say those bad ones are infecting the whole bunch. More often than not when playing with random individuals they tend to be belligerent, arrogant asses that have no problem telling you to go gently caress your mother while flavoring it with racial epithets.

I know that these problems are not unique to the CS community, but it is certainly qualities that it has become known for.

EDIT: I'm watching CLG vs Liquid right now and NAF-FLY keeps getting DDoS'd out. The game has been paused for the better part of an hour now.

You can thank the great CSGO community for those DDoS attacks! What a wonderful bastion of individuals we happen to share a common bond with, am I right?

You know in all the time I played League rarely did I see people get called niggers and faggots. I guess CS players are more brave? Or inherently stuck in 1999?

Ps all game communities are poo poo because games are for children and the broken

I'm not sure if you're joking because most matches in league have rampant homophobia. If league had the option for voice comms it would be much worse than csgo imo.

I'm not. I haven't played in forever but while it was a poo poo toxic community it was mostly just people raging out. They blocked most slurs and I guess kids are lazy

doubt any of this is a real improvement for nuke (A site worse) but it looks pretty

I would definitely not mind giving this a shot on goon. I actually don't mind A site too much as it looks like it will help to balance out . The only gripe I have is the little raises on the ground that could be rough on movement.

CSGO Lounge is a cesspool of scammers, not a single legit offer. Every single one has had a steamrep report opened against them in the last month. Reddit has actually produced two legit offers and only one scammer. Had two offers try to impersonate a middleman from reddit, and they did it badly, wrong profile picks and all their comments on their profile for + rep were from themselves. I guess people actually fall for this if they keep doing it.

I may end up holding onto the knife for a few months to see how rare it really is.

I have to say, the value will only go down. If you've had legit offers that seemed reasonable I guess I'd take them in your shoes.
