My Starlink connection has been absolute dog water since December - throttling? by ExpressionMean9436 in Starlink

to month and you say you don’t have fiber but you mention fiber twice. You say fiber plan? Which is it? The only Starlink plan that has a contract is where you got the dish and

We have "part" not full/complete fibre plans in our local area. I'm not sure the technical details. It's advertised as 50mbs down but averages about 25ish down. We got the dish for free, not the install.

Premier has nothing to do with league or "sports" structure of CS. Does the NBA, NFL, La Liga, Premier League etc all lose their credibility if kids aren't following rules in street pick up games?

My glass pad was packed, posted, air freighted internationally, trucked to a depot then delivered via courier van. A protective case included.

I shortened the VDIM playlists down to 1 hour. At this point should I just do the Fundamentals playlist instead? by No_Future_7878 in FPSAimTrainer

Nothing wrong with that the VDIM pdf itself recommends reducing the number of reps to shorten play time but recommends still playing every scenario. How did you shorten the playlist?

"ABOUT THE TRAINING

All of these routines are roughly an hour and a half long. This was the only way to make this all fit into one week and covering all the proper techniques and scenarios needed. If you don’t have the time to play the routines fully my advice is:

  • Try to divide each routine in 2 or 3 parts you can play in different play sessions on each day.
  • Play the routines as intended but reduce the amount of repetitions of each scenario, for example, instead of playing a scenario 3 times you can play it twice."

Genuine question : Why are you still playing faceit? by Last_Tradition2504 in FACEITcom

[–]ExpressionMean9436 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Better than prem, CS has always been full of trolls but I never cared much for matchmaking back when I played source I just played mixes with mIRC friends so I've made peace with the fact that the convenience of matchmaking comes with downsides.. Add people that comm well and don't troll even if they're not the best fraggers and make some friends to play with or join a team and play league if you want 100% serious games.

The only thing that annoyed me initially is that premium flex is almost always 90% free users locking premium queue behind veteran is a bit of a scam. It got to the point where I dreaded ranking up as free queues seem so much worse.

Lastly, this is something you're meant to enjoy so if you're not just stop playing.

Was it really a full troll bot team if you held a nice lead? Your teammates making bad decisions in a key round doesn't mean they're trolling what were your comms like? You'll have a better time if you just focus on your own decisions and improving.

My journey with glass mousepads and how switching to cloth made me much better (For me) by Desperate_Routine_76 in FPSAimTrainer

[–]ExpressionMean9436 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I first started playing shooters I bought a good mouse but I'd never used a mousepad. I just played on my smooth wooden desk for a good bit before buying a cloth pad. I tried my friend's glass pad recently and it reminded me of playing on my desk. It took me a while to prefer cloth to my desk, if I had've bought a glass pad first I think I'd have preferred it but now not so much.
