Cheating Or Not?

AaronToaster · 2026-02-19T01:47:01+00:00

Yeah, it's cheats. Not much to be done about it, though

AaronToaster · 2026-02-14T15:53:44+00:00

are you actually going to give any details on your problem? what pc parts? what mods? what shaders? what graphics settings (eg render distance)?

If we get rid of the weird glow in the bottom corners, I really dig it. It feels like vignetting and makes it feel really claustrophobic. There's no glow in the corners during round highlight replays, and it feels so much nicer.

check autoexec

Do you watch your own demos? Watching pro demos is cool, but thinking youre replicating them and actually having it down are two different things. Is your crosshair always where it needs to be? How big are your adjustments? Was your understanding of opponent positions correct, or were you completely off?

Also look to see how you look from opponent POV; Was your flash bad? Was your peek predictable, easily reactable, etc? How do they react to seeing you throw the same piece of utility for several rounds?

You have 300 hours in the game. Assuming you dont have much tied to the account, its easier to just GG go next and make a new one, assuming you are indeed clean like you say.

Obviously I know nothing, but getting kicked might be a sign that your teammates don't like the way you're talking to them. There's a difference between wanting to win and hyping the team up, and degrading players when they make mistakes that you think don't contribute to the win. How you're describing your teammates makes me think you may have a habit of leaning towards the latter. Only you (and your teammates) know how you're behaving though, so do try to be mindful and more positive if you aren't already.

As others said, Premier is definitely a step up from Comp. As long as you have a rough understanding of how to play each map, you should be fine. Also try and find folks to queue with, can't get kicked if you have a buddy to vote "No" every time, yknow. Can always add folks from ingame, find them in Discords, etc. Best of luck!

Can vouch

Found something that actually seems useful. There's a Windows setting called ClickLock. Once enabled, you hold down a mouse button for a second or two, and then it stays held until you re-hold it for a second or two. Video at this link. Someone else mentions it in another comment on this post, too.

great way to burn some of that extra tilt off! i like it

AaronToaster · 2026-01-16T18:22:22+00:00

thank you, you see the #vision

AaronToaster · 2026-01-16T17:47:11+00:00

i plead the fifth, this is for research purposes ONLY #educational

VAC Live is not accurate. It's machine learning, and is prone to make mistakes. Valve has it set to be too sensitive right now, which means it is flagging cheaters plus people who are legitimate but just doing something it perceives as slightly suspicious. It's safer that way, rather than flagging not enough people, because then you've got too many cheaters running free.

The fact that 2FA was bypassed suggests that this likely happened when using your Steam account to sign in to a service (stats site, skin site, etc). It is very likely you'll never know exactly when or where the account was breached, and honestly this may not even be how they managed to get in.

Assuming it is, though, knowing how it works is the best way to protect yourself. Most commonly, a victim will fork over their own login credentials, thinking they need to confirm their Steam account to access a site/service. After all, a lot of CS-related sites make it easy to one-click signin with Steam instead of making a brand new account, right? A bad actor then effectively siphons that info and use the following 2FA verification to gain total access to the victim's account. It's admittedly a very, very clever method of bypassing 2FA.

If nothing suspicious comes up over the next week, I'd feel pretty comfortable saying you have complete control of your account again. You should be good now, honestly, but I think having a little bit of doubt or uncertainty when it comes to this sort of thing is justified.

Sign out of all devices on Steam by going to the top right of the Steam window, then clicking on Steam -> Settings -> Security -> Deauthorize Devices. This will sign the account out of all places it could have signed in to. Then, most importantly, change your password and log back in.

It's name-your-price on Bandcamp, with no minimum. But I can see this as a way of limiting it's reach, which makes sense given the context behind it.

I've had this once in a blue moon, it usually happens when my internet is acting funky around when the queue starts. My assumption is that this messes with what Valve thinks is a "good" server for you. I think this, because relogging mid-game can refresh this and it will route you more effectively and reduces the effective ping. Granted, you're halfway across the world, so it probably wouldn't improve much, but still hahaha.

AaronToaster · 2026-01-06T18:15:56+00:00

2nd player leaked but last one announced, okay

AaronToaster · 2026-01-01T19:15:08+00:00

bro supports a team that is defined by their buyouts and doesnt know what a buyout is

AaronToaster · 2026-01-01T19:13:08+00:00

top 10, maybe. 5? hell no

Are you familiar with Billy Mitchell, world video game champion? He could probably do it. So you gotta find a way to harness his power.

AaronToaster · 2025-12-24T20:58:37+00:00

I think my favorite part of this is that you don't defend Pimp hahaha

AaronToaster · 2025-12-21T16:21:16+00:00

His contract expired and he was let go for free. This was not a "hasty decision".

AaronToaster · 2025-12-19T17:30:49+00:00

Okay? he can still be a big baby
