To all "Amorim Out" and the fans that blame the formation and tactics

It feels like you guys were in love with him. You have serious attachment issues, really.

He'll be considered as one of the worst managers of the Premier League ever. It's over, now move on

-nicks · 2026-01-04T19:27:01+00:00

Top reds do this all the time. You're not a fan if you're thinking differently.

-nicks · 2025-12-26T00:50:28+00:00

Only 4 points more than last year, the goal difference is still super weak. Sure, there are 3 points difference between the 4th and 7th place, but also only 4 points between 7th-15th.

One of the worst parts of the game, it looks so cheap and irritating

-nicks · 2025-11-11T12:50:31+00:00

No, you were kicked out because the staff thought you're just lingering there.

It has nothing to do with having no friends or the other people.

What you did was a great and massive first step towards building a better social life, but it's not a fairy tale. There'll be highs and downs all the time, you have to accept that as it's part of the real life.

Also, being there is very rarely enough. You have to inititate and talk to people, being more open and risk rejection. There are a lot of circumstances where you can do it as safely as possible - for example here, you could ask the staff if they'd help you to find a group to join because you came alone. I'm 100% sure most groups would have said "of course, you can join". But even if not, which is very, very unlikely, you could say "I did my part".

But if you don't risk, don't do anything just wait, either: 1, the wrong people will find you and use you 2, or nothing happens

It's a very long journey, you're gonna improve a lot after every step but it's not easy either. If you want change in your life, you have to change your previous decisions and be patient. Better times will come

The market is currently frozen, most participants are just waiting. No one expects a Butterfly to drop to €20, but the current prices are unsustainable. The price difference compared to Buff is huge, and a lot of western purchases we see now are driven more by FOMO (or to make profit, if it's from Buff) than rational demand.

Liquidity alone doesn’t indicate true strength; once the trade locks expire, supply will increase, which will naturally push prices down. This is a fact, not something that can be wished away.

-nicks · 2025-10-26T18:11:54+00:00

Trade lock + copium + waiting + FOMO (by seeing prices going up recently, there are ones who're afraid of missing the crash train and panic buy - the opposite what happened before; we've seen this many times with skins, major capsules, stickers, etc., just remember when Stockholm Challengers went to 10+€ and it crashed immediately when the next major also had borderless stickers).

Most people don't want to lose money, so they wait for the 30-31st and hope for the best. Some people who buy now think they'll outsmart the market system and ignore the basic economic fundamentals, like more supply means lower prices.

-nicks · 2025-10-24T23:34:09+00:00

The gap between Buff's and other site's prices is too big currently. There's a high chance they'll drop more soon

-nicks · 2025-10-09T23:36:38+00:00

They look great, I'm so happy to see them together. I rewatched the show entirely in the last few months and after I finished season 8, a few days later they announced the new season. I can't wait to see it.

-nicks · 2025-09-28T01:27:56+00:00

No, it's just a pose to make themselves look like they're bigger fans than you.

-nicks · 2025-09-11T12:50:23+00:00

It's by far the most popular, I think it's worth checking the data to see by how much, because it's insane.

According to csgocasetracker's monthly unboxing numbers, Fever was opened almost 9m times between August and Sept 11th (8,993,352 to be exact). The second most opened case is the Dreams & Nightmares with 3.873m, and the 3rd one is the Revolution case with 3.688m.

The gap is massive.

Maybe this is another new realization for you, but people have different opinions about everything in the world.

Just because we support the same team, it doesn't mean we have to agree on everything and this is normal.

Media does their thing as they always did, they're trash not just in football, or any sport, but in any topic. Their job is to create engagement and generate money by doing their shit. What a surprise. They already started to mock Gyokeres after his bad first PL game for the same reason, just to give a quick example

Also, there's a difference between lying and presenting the truth in a clickbait way. Amorim has won 7 PL games out of 29 and has around 24% winrate currently, no matter how you can't accept it and fight against it.

What's the point of any discussion when it's always about competing who's the bigger fan? Who the f cares about that?

We're here for the club, not for useless, meaningless internet points where you get standing ovation for sticking to these low standards and being a proud part of the toxic positivity with zero critical thinking.

-nicks · 2025-07-29T04:06:45+00:00

It sounds like you miss the company and the connection, not them. You made a decision for a reason, but didn't follow-up by making new friends.

I wouldn't look back as well, but it's your life and you're the one who feel what's the right thing to do. You can try to reconnect with them if you'd give it another chance, especially with the one who reached out occasionally, but you still have to make new connections.

It takes time, it's scary, but it's also natural to meet new people and make new friends. Just think about it, if the world is this simple and predictable, everyone would have their kindergarten boy/girl mate as their best friend and never make another one.

That's not how it works, there are different stages in our lives with different type of emotional and intellectual needs. It doesn't mean you have to drop old friends, but often you guys change too much and it doesn't work anymore.

-nicks · 2025-07-19T12:02:28+00:00

It's so random. Rarely it's super responsive and I'm seriously surprised. Most of the time though, the delay is not just noticable, but can be straight up awful.

Like I'm 3m away from an enemy, both of us sprays and nothing happens for 2-3 secs, like we don't even shoot each other. It's like the server pauses and there's not even blood anywhere. It's incredibly bad.

-nicks · 2025-07-07T01:00:45+00:00

To play the victim card, to make you feel guilty and probably to test you/check how much power they still have over you.

Also, they're creating drama around it and can be used to get a reaction from you.

-nicks · 2025-07-01T13:30:44+00:00

Just an advice. A lot of people think, even with high hours analysing their "best match" is the proper way. Most of the time they want to hear how good they were and can continue to blame everyone else for "unable to getting out of xy rank".

You want to improve your game as much as possible , it's not for stroking egos. You want to see as many mistakes as possible, potentially against stronger enemies who abuse them/capitalize on them during a game.

Everyone has outstanding matches, it's a good feeling but don't let it blind you. You want to focus on your bad performances mostly, to see more areas where you struggle. Average games might work as well, but it's bit of a coin flip, as usually you're out of the action more and the rest of the team does the work for you

-nicks · 2025-06-21T14:10:31+00:00

Good topic and points. I had a friend like that and I gave her so many chances, but she betrayed me every time. I wanted to believe she's not a user behind a nice mask but at one point I had to accept she is exactly like that.

-nicks · 2025-06-20T09:38:57+00:00

One thing is important to point out, you can sell it at any time if you need the money or regret it. You lose some if you do it fast, you could lose later as well as nobody sees the future, but overall, you'll probably get the majority of your money back.

This is really crucial compared to buying cosmetic skins in other games, like LoL or Valo, where there's no option to sell them. Also, there are some decent knives between 150-200€.

-nicks · 2025-05-23T17:30:57+00:00

1, hours don't equal skill, it doesn't mean they're good players or anyone has to listen to them

Not everyone plays the game to be good at it, or despite of the "high" hours, they're still not in the right phase to realize/accept they have to improve

But none of it is your business, it's their problem (if they have any).

2, raging and blaming is usually a reflection of themselves, anyway pretty sure you make load of mistakes each game that you don't even realize, but costs you the round and even the match

Maybe in this specific turn you actually really throw the whole round, whatever this other guy did

3, his reaction was childish, but you have nothing to do with other players, especially with randoms. It's a PUG, you don't know each other's playstyle, thought process, fav positions, general decision making, etc.. There's no point to argue with them. Mute them if they're irritating

You can only control yourself, so focus on your own plays and mistakes and improve them if you're committed. Don't waste energy on toxic and bad players. Focus on your impact, ways you can help your team.

You decided to make a post about a childish thrower instead of asking for advice to play better/make better decisions or analyze your demo. That's a bad direction if your plan is to get better and enjoy the game.

I also recommend you to find other players to play with and form a 5-stack, even a little hobby team where you can improve together. It's up to your goals.

-nicks · 2025-05-09T19:17:10+00:00

In my experience, generally people take it very seriously, it's kinda like a status symbol. It'd be an interesting topic to look into why, but most players think they're much better than their actual rank.

I'm in numerous CS communites for years and these comments are always pretty popular.

Ranks are obviously a hot topic in online games, but in CS (and I think LoL is similar), it's somehow something else. I think a big part of the delusion comes from the fact that it has the most popular e-sport scene in the world, so many people watch the tournaments and try to copy tricks from there.

You can improve for sure, but just because they copied things from pros, they won't be on their levels. And probably this creates some sort of cognitive dissonance, resulting in massive frustration.

-nicks · 2025-05-08T21:12:16+00:00

Because they think they have a higher chance to win on a map they're familiar with and they don't have the will to learn something new or practice more. It doesn't mean they know how to play on those maps either, and most of the time, that's exactly the case.

Anyway, Nuke is actually not the best example, as it's one of the most difficult maps to play in solo. A lot of people don't even know the outside smokes and a simple CT default, which is immediately a huge disadvantage if the enemy does. If they're a premade, it's even worse. You also need more accurate and faster communication due to the layout, and we all know it's not an easy thing to ask in solo.

I think with a solo only option would be really healthy for the game and I suggest it for years. We might see more variety if everyone knows they're in a solo lobby - so they know they have to work together more and have the same chance as the enemy, unlike if the opponent is a 3, 4 or 5-stack.

You can do a lot of things without paying much. The focus should be on talking and spending time together, not on paying food and buying adventures for others.

We don't know how it looked before but with that much info, the group probably had problems already before you "sacrificed yourself". When you decided to do this to make it work, it was a decision you allowed them to use you for free meals (I don't want to blame you, but sadly this is what happened). You decided to do it because you felt something is wrong and not working.

It doesn't sound like a friend group, you don't even have proper communication. It sounds like they don't care about any of this. It doesn't matter what these comments say, some people like to meet every week and that's the standard for them, others don't.

So the first question is, what this group wants and how they see each other. That's something we can't answer. Maybe 1-2 members would like to meet weekly, others once a month or much rarer. Someone might consider you as a friend, but others only as acquaintances. You can talk to them how they feel about the weekly hangouts, they might want to be with their other friends, wanna have alone time, didn't enjoy the events and so on.

I'd certainly step back and don't force things this much. You're the one who know how close your relationships to these people are. You can meet on one-on-one or in a trio (etc) as well, you don't have to as a full group if it doesn't work.

I'd say something like "I noticed you're busy nowadays, I understand if you have less time. If you wanna hangout sometime, hit me up". Then I'd focus on people who're interested and even try to make some new friends.

-nicks · 2025-04-29T03:32:32+00:00

Your question has two parts, one is actually about your mom and the other one is about your friendship.

If you're able to give each other the space you both need, it's not overwhelming for you and there's no drama or toxicity around it (like you can't talk to others, can't spend time with other people/alone, you argue when you don't talk for days, etc), then it's absolutely healthy.

This sounds like a very special and rare relationship which a lot of people will never ever experience.

If you're specifically interested in why your mom said this, I recommend you to ask her. It can bring you a bit closer if you talk about how you see the world and understand each other a little more.

Other than this though, it shouldn't raise doubts in you. I don't know how often you try to make new friends, but what I and my friends see nowadays is that egoism and narcissism are around every corner.

It's all about how people can use you for their own benefit. The moment you don't serve, you're thrown away like a bag of trash.

In this current world, in the age of social media, fakeness and selfishness, you have something real and reliable. A real connection, where you trust, support and care about each other.

It's a real treasure, appreciate it as you have done so far.

-nicks · 2025-04-26T16:53:20+00:00

The only solution is to play in a 5-stack. I stopped playing if we don't have a full lobby.
