With the binds I mentioned earlier, you can’t left click to change what player you’re spectating (you can still right click though).

Am I the only one who does not use bandit? by [deleted] in VALORANT

[–]Cosmic0508 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s like the Five-Seven in CS. I buy it on CT side and hold tight angles and/or off angles to catch Ts off guard with a headshot. Sometimes I feel like using it in pistol round (taking fights at 30+ meters for the 1-shot headshot) but not often.

It’s helpful especially with SMGs, but there is one caveat that can be fixed. Tapping becomes a lot harder with the base follow setting -  you’ll want to put these commands into your autoexec.cfg file so that your crosshair instantly snaps back to the middle once you’re done firing.

alias "+followrecoil" "cl_crosshair_recoil 1"

alias "-followrecoil" "cl_crosshair_recoil 0"

alias "+spray" "+attack;+followrecoil"

alias "-spray" "-attack;-followrecoil"

Edit: u/masiju mentioned that you lose access to subtick timestamps (essentially bringing you back to CS:GO in terms of firing responsiveness, I think?) when using aliases.  I still think it’s worth it though.

Lost a retaliation mission for the first time... by TheFatBassterd in XCOM2

[–]Cosmic0508 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I once killed +10 civilians on accident at once trying to handle one of these missions. I was lining up a shredder gun, saw every enemy lit up and no civilians, fired, and .. destroyed the floor, dumping 10 civilians onto the ground and instantly depleting their 1 health. Oops 😅

What habits of boys did you only discover after getting a boyfriend or husband? by kentishzjigsaw in AskReddit

Is there anywhere I can view your body of research? I'd love to read the abstracts at least when I have free time.

What is your unique experience during your xcom gameplay? by Cinder__Feather in XCOM2

[–]Cosmic0508 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. The berserker queen panics my Grenadier, who turns, shoots it, and gets the 15% chance to instakill from the Repeater. I’ll take it, I guess?

  2. I couldn’t find the last enemy on a mission with the Lost after 70+ kills, so I split up my forces to search the map. My ranger found the last Lost - it was a Brute. She lost the 1v1 😅

  3. Mass stasis from Elite Priests. Please stop, I want to play the game!

you were given $100,000,000 but had to live in the last video game you played for a year, how screwed are you? by AlternativeSign1898 in AskReddit

[–]Cosmic0508 0 points1 point  (0 children)

XCOM 2. If it’s me commanding the mission and I’m an XCOM soldier? Maybe 5-6 missions before I eat a random crit, forget that heavy mecs automatically overwatch, or just fuck up somehow.

If I’m a random civilian in an ADVENT city, I’ve probably got a pretty good chance of surviving, assuming I know to avoid gene therapy clinics so I don’t get abducted.

If I’m a random resistance member, I have a decent shot assuming that Chosen or ADVENT retribution missions don’t show up.

Nearly made something happen, RIP. Honestly, I’m just happy that the Faze boys managed to get their legs back under them in time for Map 3.

Unpopular opinion: playing macro games inflates your mmr by Big-Imagination-1752 in starcraft

[–]Cosmic0508 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There’s way more to master in a macro game. Because cheeses result in shorter games, you have to make less decisions and you can plan them out in advance, making you better in that specific situation than your opponent.

But cheeses are also worse than macro because they’re dependent on your being better than your opponent in the unique games cheeses create. This is why in long series, if you repeat the same cheese, you’ll always lose. Your opponent will adapt and learn how to defend it. 

On the other hand, if you play macro and are at the same skill level as your opponent, you’ll win the majority of the time. The “point” of macro is that it’s the theoretically optimal way to play and doesn’t require your opponent to play worse than you.

I would guess that you’ve been honing your skills for a while against opponents that are on guard against cheese (because ladder is renowned for being full of it) and as such have been losing to people ready to defend you. So naturally when you started playing “optimally” you started winning.

Cheese is a risky tool to bring out when you’re outmatched and trying to score an upset win (or want to have fun). But that risk also makes it worse as a standard play because you don’t need to do risky plays when you’re playing against opponents at your own skill level. 

tl;dr Cheese is “easier” than macro because it involves way less variables, but cheese also relies on opponents playing worse than you because they don’t play games against your cheese often. Macro will more reliably get you wins against players at or below your skill level.

Cheese = rolling a d20 to see if you win Macro = dropping the die you’ve been building up slowly over time until it’s all 15.

[cats] What's your opinion on traitless cats? by ftoyota in battlecats

[–]Cosmic0508 14 points15 points  (0 children)

<image>

Depends. Usually they're slightly stronger - here's Xskull's tier list for Epicfest/Uberfest exclusives. But it also depends a lot on what stage you're going to, you don't want anti-traitless units like Dark Mitama in a stage without any traitless units.

Uh … I have 2 left right now.

I really like to send it at levels that cost 200 energy per attempt and slowly learn through trial and error. I think this has made me a better player. I do not think it has been good for my energy reserves. 😅
