Firestarter, Cartel and the Grinder? How does it feel to be Objectively Wrong?

For real though, when the gently caress is the next operation, my Steam wallet misses its guaranteed $15.

They're warming up the Source 2 update... it HAS to be that. I BELIEVE

Surely you jest. Firestarter and Grinder are terrible, Cartel is okay. The only skins I like from that case are Fire Elemental and Cardiac.

I had a beer once with Stephen Miller and now I like him.

I also tried to ban someone from a Discord for pointing out what an unrelenting shithead I am! I'm even dumb enough to think it worked!

IIRC there's something along the lines of 3 devs. They're probably playing a rousing game of Go Fish.

Unless it's a lobby of shitheads this works pretty well. There are usually 4 cool people and 1 dickhole, so staying cool will get your team to stay cool too.

I can't really go through the patchnotes right now, but have there actually been any functional changes other than the R8 and the spray patterns in the last several months? Skins/gloves should take close to zero devtime.

That's probably because mat_queue_mode defaults to -1, which means the mode is automatically selected. Your game was probably using mat_queue_mode 2 already.

mat_queue_mode 1 has boosted FPS for people with processors that aren't i5 and i7. Worth a shot.

e: It should also be noted that you need to put mat_queue_mode X in your launch options and not in the console. It only refreshes when the game boots so just putting it in your console does nothing.

So I've only played ~5 DM games of cs but I've watched probably ~60+ hours of cs on twitch. I caved and bought my 144hz asus monitor, a NAOS 7000, and a clown-sized mouse pad. I've read this OP, have watched a bunch of YouTube tutorials, have practiced sprays for the guns I'll use and have studied to know basically all call outs. I'm still nervous to play, and I realized.... some people don't do any of this. They just buy the game and play it. I don't know if this should make me more relieved that I won't be "bad" right away, or more nervous to play with shitheads who know ACTUALLY nothing. Lol gently caress

IMO a lot of bad vibes happen in solo queue when someone outright comes out and says something like OMG loving noob orange why didn't you do <insert arbitrary action>. Most of the time if you're abnormally polite when pointing out something, as long as your point holds water, people will be receptive.

Some caveats to this: This advice does not apply if the person is under 16, is Russian, or is indeed a loving noob.

I was picking mid earlier when another guy walked into long and died to a push. He then called me out for not trading.

"Uhh dude I wasn't even close to you"

"gently caress YOU human being!"

I don't like Cartels, but overall I like the Vanguard collection, especially the M4s in Restricted rarity instead of bullshit Classified/Covert. I like the Five-Seven in Urban Hazard too. It's a shame they don't drop anymore.

With an old CPU like that the multi-core option in the video menu will likely detect it properly. From the comments in the reddit thread its mostly newer CPU's it helps, 5000/6000 series. As ricky was able to saying in a better way then I.

Lol that's not it. I didn't start watching cs to get better at the game, I just watched it randomly one day and really liked watching it. about a week ago after watching 4-5 months of streams I bought the game and ya. I hear you though.

I'm aware hahah. It's like say Golf, you can watch it and understand fundamentals of every part of the swing, but even if you've played 50 rounds you're still seriously godawful. When I said bad I meant "I've never picked up a club and don't know the rules of golf lets play this game!!!" bad. Looking back my post came across weird and like I expect to be good with all my Sweet New Counter Strike Gaming Equipment but not at all lol. I'm excited to start playing though

I think I like CS because it's the only shooter I've ever played online that I haven't dominated 99% of the matches I end up in. It's frustrating queuing into smurfs and sketchy dudes who wallbang you constantly but I guess that's part of the draw.
