throws like 10 bodyshots in 5 rounds, the last one at 4:58, almost immediately TKOs him😭
gets value from the clinch every time he randomly tries it, never tries it again
so hard to watch

scenario, would definitely recommend checking it out if you're bored of more conventional static scenarios!
worth checking out though your results may vary, gave me 25% more FPS on this testing benchmark AND >10 times shorter max stutters, definitely a noticeable performance improvement in Apex for me as well
once again my fellow gamers philosophizing about scores and settings and what's considered "cheesing" on the self-improvement mouse pointing application...
fortunately, I have the solution:
it's time to try and find the optimal way to score some bitches instead
Pushed this score a little more while listen to a podcast because I enjoyed it, PsalmTS Revolving Easy - 91 | also uploading/posting my first real routine tomorrow geared toward more practical

even worse, Chito's corner in round 2 or 3 tells him "the body is always there" or something to that effect and he proceeds to ignore it, super frustrating...

of 18, got nova complete too but didn't post anything about it. Air, GPV, 6Sphere, ww3t, Popcorn and Pasu remaining. Better Call Saul S4E10 in the background, potential spoiler warning.
the definitive mouse/mousepad tierlist of things I own, if u disagree with me u are wrong and u should feel bad! accepting recommendations for future purchases, maybe video reviews eventually

I honestly thought it couldn't get better than the original hati-s ace but the switches, reduced weight on wireless, and 4k sensor are crazy improvements on an already great mouse
going down the supplement rabbit hole, starting w the more safe/well-researched. suggestions are welcomed so long as your main source isn't a youtube podcast.

3g taurine
1g lion's mane extract

why... 😭 the original name even implied the goal and had actually built brand awareness, also going to cause confusion w/ actual cheating peripherals coming soon (ai 'maphack' monitor)
"I'm on a skypad"
vs.
"I'm on a wall hack, no not an actual cheat... it's a glass mousepad"
Since 2017, we have existed as SkyPAD. based in Copenhagen and born from humble beginnings, we’ve been doing what we can to create the best glass mouse pad on the market. In the years that have passed, we’ve encountered many different opinions and preconceptions, everything
if it was the same angle and I made that face(and could grow facial hair then) we would almost look like the same person (me at 18)
LOL this actually tripped me out
someone please tell me I'm not crazy...

made an even better version of the far angle smoothness scenario and everyone should go play some version of it - tamAngleSmoothness, it's really good.

unfortunately not celestial, 4/6 astra categories with nova in the last 2 remaining, gonna take a break from benchmarks for a little for some comps though.

is a good start. random weapon rotations continues to prove how out of touch
@Respawn
is with people who just want to fight. I have less control over the gun I want to use than in brs somehow... also can't practice some stuff (swaps, cells/bats timing)
can people with very high smoothness OR static scores please play "e1se far angle smoothness 50% smaller 80% speed" on kvk and dm me vods+the cm you used on discord (it's just 'y4mz'), trying to see something specific...

though, mastermind of it all
would anyone be interested in a review of peripheral reviews? kinda meta but I think it would be informative to point out what I look for as an obsessive nerd and how reviewers appeal to me & make me trust their opinions.
probably written unless I find someone to edit it LOL
soloqueued in OW2 to master3 from a plat4 placement(still rly bad + had a full d1-d5 derank in 1 day) after a week, playing 70% S76 with some Soj/Cass, here are my vague categorizations of characters by role if you want a 'new player' perspective:
pre-orisa nerf/dps re-buff
@JoshNissan
totally agree, cs2 he/smoke interaction was a huge unknown quantity & turned into a sick mechanic that creates high tension moments.
an initiator that puts massive holes in/thru multiple smokes would be sick to see in Val, or adding the effect to abilities as a buff(neon stun?)
Supplement update: stopped taking creatine monohydrate after developing gastritis, it's been a rough week... (partially caused by ibuprofen, I might try creatine again when I'm feeling better)
Still taking L-Theanine, Taurine, Fish Oils, and Lion's Mane Extract w good results🙀
@btwridd
but people literally do this in sports constantly... there are absolutely advantages to trying different styles/sensitivities and piecing them together or finding out the advantages/disadvantages of high/low sens and how to work around them
@Txrje
I genuinely think they would add aim assist or bullet magnetism to mkb before nerfing controller. Which would be the worst possible scenario still because aim assist/bullet magnetism mkb games are so unfulfilling
was hoping this would be fixed by release but...
my 99% FPS lows in CS2 are low double-digits (less than 50 fps) and they happen pretty regularly(1-3 seconds apart) making my game very stuttery and p much unplayable, anyone else experience the same thing and find any solutions?
cut my own op1 8k grips out of .5mm granulate material for competition shooting because it feels good🙀
unrelated question but does anyone happen to know the melting point of an op1 8k? in case I need to get some b-7000 off of it...
been following a lot of tier1 csgo lately and will probably be following t2 Americas following the cs2 release assuming the scene picks up, considering making cs and mma-specific Twitter accounts, mostly analysis/speculation, gauging interest, will post here if I make either
The best tournament performance by an individual in any competitive team game I can think of. The grand finals maps(& most others) were on the same level of soul crushing the enemy as Rapha or Flash. The looks on the other team's face after every round loss told the whole story.

@FaZeClan

Can’t describe my feelings right now. Thanks everyone for support i really appreciate it. Love my team❤️
weird gatekeeping, try different things, happens constantly in sports, Kobe copied MJ, I constantly copy other pro players or top aimers in my own grind to improve, take the best parts of everyone else's game and find their strengths. I sens copied 1/2 my scores from ppl above me
it's crazy to me how ppl think matching their favorite streamers grip and sens will benefit them. in sports no one talks about studying the way Steph Curry holds and releases the ball as tho that will turn them into expert shooters. yet in FPS games its commonplace
so many things to say re: aim, coaching, etc. but no easy way to put them that doesn't in part disparage the effort of other people who I still respect greatly and am good friends with, will maybe write something long-form then decide if anyone actually cares anyway
returning my 360hz 1440p OLED monitor, going back to 360hz 1080p TN
1440oled for me: less visibility in hectic situations(smaller pixels), worse persistence blur/no strobing, bad black eq, accurate colors not always the best for competitive stuff, hurts my eyes(IPS does too tho)
I've made a very fun and efficient system of playlists (includes both low and high ttk) with in-game performance as the main goal in mind. Testing and fine-tuning is a WIP (s/o to my friends at
@PureGofficial
). I'll try to get it out ASAP, but I'll need more Apex clips to show
@Matty_OW
genuinely curious if you think genji should win in this context? (1 ability gets value vs 0, 1v1, best case for other player, low dps/high mobi/reset hero)
its just genji roleplaying as cree in a 1v1 then doing ~70 dps. if he wins w/o abilities, what's the point in abilities?
watched good players and explored more non-soldier/soj(mostly echo/sombra) on alt, further thoughts as a solo-queue only dps player, top 3 tiers need to or can't be counterpicked, bottom 3 tiers prob don't need to be counterpicked and can usually be beaten w playstyle adjustments

now muting accounts who buy useless junk then tweet ab it in superlatives.
it's one thing to give comparisons and opinions, but most of what I see is lazy & spammed with each new release, it's deeply uninteresting
partly the fault of companies who rt everything positive ab them
streaming ow2 for the fans (haters), cant wait to see all of my homies(broke ass losers) there, I know you have a real busy sunday planned(we both know you don't have shit to do), but your support is always appreciated(if you ask about my settings I'll flame the fuck out of you)!
@Txrje
if you're talking apex: just remember you're playing against people with developer-backed soft aim and that your mechanics mean next to nothing
if other games: find a stable level of mech checking people/forced execution tests, if it's hard for you it's harder for them mentality
can I please see their resources while they're dead? it's really frustrating to watch a save or default & not be able to see next round's ults + carryover util. Then I'm just infodumped preround(which often isn't even shown on the broadcast) w/ setups AND ult status
@PlayVALORANT
while I'm in a hating mood, people being upset Valorant got 'easier' with the Cypher cam change(ability shouldn't even exist as it is) is the most beautiful irony I've ever seen
the point-and-click util, low effort, ez-mode Riot pixel slop made you, and now it will unmake you.
are people rly diehard fans of orgs instead of just the players? I've met some of these creatures out in the wild & cant understand it vs being a fan of the players, makes more sense w a national/regional component(LOUD/PRX) but like, most NA teams r just soulless corpo brands...
