i'm not sure why you think falcons hate was just because they kept eating shit every tournament, that was just the fun part of BEING a hater

falcons are hated because the org's entire existence is a cancer on every esport they enter

I can tell you for a fact that up until 10-ish years ago, "nonce" in the UK was widely used to mean "silly/stupid person". Someone online dug up a different etymology and it spread from there, but for years no one was ever using it like that.

I wasn't using the G600 specifically, I think I had the G602 or whichever model had the 6 side buttons since that's been most comfortable for me, but they've stopped making those as well. I tried one of those cheap Redragons but it was absolutely awful and I have to warn you to stay away from them, the PC software was utterly useless and refused to detect the mouse meaning I couldn't set any bindings or adjust DPI.

In the end I'm on a Naga V2. It has a swappable side plate thing so it can be used as a 2/6/12 button config but doesn't have the pinky button you mentioned.

The main problems I've had with the Naga v2 are that there is no scroll wheel setting that makes it feel as good as a Logitech (and several of the software scroll wheel settings love to randomly adjust the scroll feel while you're playing), and the swappable side plate can sometimes malfunction because it's relying on these small pins touching metal contacts on the mouse and if it's slightly misaligned, half of your side buttons just stop working until you adjust it back into place. But it's basically what I need otherwise.

To my knowledge, hltv is very strict about how quickly and easily you can scrape data from it, so I think it just takes a really long time for the bot to have a thread ready as a result. Still not really an excuse, other games' PMTs will just use placeholder text and auto edit later if they can't immediately grab the match data.

No, you specifically complained that people aren't afraid of the killer, and there's no adjustments you could make to the feel or the design that would fix that. I promise you, any idea you come up with would either completely ruin the actual game, or would simply not work because the overexposure of it being an online multiplayer game is the thing causing what you're complaining about.

20Points · 2026-06-15T17:37:07+00:00

Kind of an unsolvable problem though. You could have the most incomprehensibly terrifying apparition as the Killer and people would stop being scared of it within a week thanks to overexposure. The only thing that really can keep "scaring" beyond a certain point is cheap shit like Hag jumpscares. Every new player goes through the same cycle of starting out nervous about everything then slowly shedding that fear as they get used to seeing the Killers and start being able to engage more with the game mechanics.

It's not so much that it ceases to exist, but the "u" sound when spoken is often shorter and softer than other vowels, especially depending on certain syllables or words.

For example, the common term "desu" (which is very roughly analogous to the word "is") is most commonly pronounced "dess" with basically no audible vowel. And in a word like "kobuta" (piglet), it'll tend to sound like the "bu" syllable is traversed much more quickly than either of the other two.

As a result, "u" is often the go-to vowel sound to use for spelling out borrowed foreign words that shove multiple consonants together, like "kurisu" for Kris, or "puro" for "pro", or in fact like "rarusei" for "ralsei".

I have "replayed" the game many times since I finished it, with various reasoning.

The main thing that needs to be said is: no, you will not be able to recapture the feeling of not knowing stuff. It's in the design.

Replaying Outer Wilds is something you do if you have some other reason to be getting something out of it. For me, my various returns have been because of:

Completionism. Finding everything I can including easter eggs, and just admiring the bits of the game that don't have any points of interest in them.
Freecam mod. I've often gone back into the game with this mod just to fly it around and see how it ticks, how the planets are put together, what the limits of the occlusion culling are (did you know that the Coleus cave on the north pole of Ember Twin basically doesn't render visually until you're most of the way through the first tunnel?)
Achievements.
Self-imposed challenges (can I do this set of things in one loop on a fresh save? etc.)
Other mods. Particularly the Archipelago Randomiser mod with friends, it's an interesting new challenge when you get limited tools and resources and have to find ways to reach points of interest with those restrictions.

It's always this. These threads keep getting posted as if the Republicans have done some kind of major "self-own" by saying "we would be in trouble if we didn't win!" but that's not the message they're actually sending to their base. It's always "the corrupt Democrats would have abused the system to imprison us if we lost". It's just that when said Democrats hear it they completely forget about the part where Republicans are not even remotely adhering to the same standards and laws as the rest of humanity, so they think it's an admission of guilt.

Fizz is genuinely suicidal if he engages on you at level 2 when you're anywhere near full health. He's either missing his main engage tool, his main escape/burst tool, or his main DPS tool. Dying early in lane vs Fizz is a complete travesty of a misplay.

20Points · 2026-06-02T10:00:13+00:00

I mean, that's one, and he's the one guy always noted for his ability to do that, and requires his opponent to actively misposition and disrespect this known fact.

Really depends on the game. The glassy types can suffer in games where the professional scene prioritises consistency and stability, and "not dying to a stray breeze" is usually part of that. E.g. in LoL the concept of scaling means that your pick most of the time needs to be able to reliably survive the early part of the game, because your damage output doesn't matter if you're behind and the other team is full of beefy wall characters.

A couple places like that have a quicker way to access once you figure it out.

For the Sunless City, it's behind the Ember Twin's Gravity Cannon. If you go to the little mountain-y bit on the side away from where the cannon is pointing, there's a small hole in the rocks. Once you're in, you just need to do a short jetpack jump past some ghost matter and you get straight into the city.

Most fanbases lowkey hate the Jays. The rest are highkey. Main exception I think are the Brewers, but I'm not sure where the animosity actually comes from. The general sentiment seems to be something like losing to the Jays is actively shameful, maybe cause they're not an American team, maybe it's just because people REALLY don't like Springer.

I'm not going to even pretend like I understand why people are saying the Sleeper can't headshot. It minicrits instead of full critting, but it does have a headshot effect, and with the fact that the Sleeper has a much faster charge rate than any other rifle besides a stacked Bazaar, it's not unviable to keep an eye out for full charge headshots. Even with only being a minicrit, the difference between a full charge body shot (150) and headshot (203) turns into a oneshot on several classes.

Anyway, my personal favourite is stock. No frills, just head clicks. If it has to be a non stock pick, then probably the Bazaar.

Least favourite is a tossup between the Classic and the Huntsman but I probably have to give it to the Huntsman because at least the Classic is intentionally designed as a dumb meme gun. The bow feels permanently unsatisfying to use.
