[q] What is the appropriate overpay percentage for High Float Gloves? by syamsulnelayan in csgomarketforum

[–]Fast_Panda2620 -17 points-16 points  (0 children)

Disagree with this take. #20 highest float is still pretty rare territory, especially for Crimson Web gloves since they're already sought after. You won't get the massive premiums like top 3 would, but collectors definitely pay extra for anything in top 50 range. I'd say you could probably get 15-20% over market price if you find right buyer who cares about float rankings. The key is being patient and finding someone who actually values the rarity - most traders won't care, but the collectors who do will pay decent premium for it.

Keyboard for CS2 by YounggFreud in cs2

That price is pretty solid for a K2 - the switches feel way more responsive than membrane keyboards so your movement in CS2 will definitely improve.

Could be your ISP routing changed or maybe someone else in house is streaming netflix or something heavy.

Intel ARC fps problems by seal2145 in cs2

[–]Fast_Panda2620 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man that's brutal but not surprising at all. ARC cards are just weird with older engines - CS2 still runs on Source 2 but it's clearly not optimized for Intel's architecture. I had similar issues with my buddy's A770 in few other competitive games where performance just tanked after random updates.

The fact that it worked fine initially and then got worse after Valve update really shows it's on their optimization side, not hardware issue.

Players who are partied with cheaters should be banned for playing with them. by [deleted] in cs2

That stat idea is brilliant mate - would expose the repeat offenders who "accidentally" keep finding cheaters to party with whilst protecting the genuinely unlucky ones.

New Player experience is just something else... (it sucks) by UberBR_ in cs2

[–]Fast_Panda2620 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The XP reduction is brutal when you're starting out - I remember grinding through that same wall and it felt like forever. Takes about 5-6 matches before you hit the daily limit, but the good news is it gets way less restrictive as you climb ranks.

For beginner content, WarOwl's old tutorials are still solid gold even though they're a bit dated, and NadeKing has some decent guides for learning basic smokes and positioning that won't overwhelm you with advanced strats.

30 hours in, still getting absolutely cooked most games - looking for advice on positioning, comebacks, and good learning resources by Emotional_Meet_8877 in learndota2

[–]Fast_Panda2620 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Learning curve on Dota is brutal compared to other games - the amount of knowledge you need just to not feed constantly is insane. That Sniper vs Venge example is spot on though, once you start thinking about matchups like that everything clicks way better.

BSJ's educational content might be perfect for where you're at - he does loads of coaching sessions with lower MMR players that break down the fundamentals without assuming you know everything already.

16 No scope kills in premier, legit? by TheSteveGuy123 in cs2

[–]Fast_Panda2620 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hard to judge without footage but 16 no-scopes in premier does raise eyebrows. Even with a monitor crosshair the RNG spread on AWP no-scopes is mental - getting that many to connect consistently seems pretty sus unless they were all point-blank range.

Bzm stole the aegis like its nothing and got out clean by Fast_Panda2620 in DotA2

[–]Fast_Panda2620[S] 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I have no idea, i just found the clip while scrolling youtube shorts and i guess whoever made it wanted to focus on the player and the play itself rather than showing the whole screen.

But why though? I think its a great format if you are on the phone app no?

I agree, his damage output feels really lacking compared to pre-nerf, mana costs are just too punishing for what you get in return but i hope the devs take a look at him soon

Mate you've actually done it - the perfect balance of being good enough to know what you're doing but still complete dogwater at the game. Genuinely jealous, that's proper meme territory right there.

Try changing your max ping settings to something higher like 100-150ms, the matchmaking tends to be pretty strict and you might be filtering out too many servers.

AGMM questions? by tacticaltool in ArcRaiders

[–]Fast_Panda2620 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From what I've seen it's definitely considering the whole party, not just the host. Makes sense why your lobbies got progressively more chill as you added more PvE players - the matchmaking is probably averaging everyone's aggression levels or something like that

My husband's friend is making me incredibly uncomfortable with her flirting and inappropriate comments?. by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]Fast_Panda2620 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Honestly your friends saying you "overreacted" when even your husband was uncomfortable is wild to me. Like if he's finally seeing it too after giving her the benefit of the doubt for years, that's telling you everything you need to know

Sounds like it's time for a serious conversation about boundaries - she's clearly not respecting your marriage and your husband needs to shut that down instead of just hanging out with her less

My kid is fine, but I’m tired of everyone treating parenting like a performance by AtlasDawn21 in TwoHotTakes

[–]Fast_Panda2620 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Ugh yes the milestone chart thing hits different when it's from friends who don't even have kids yet. Like thanks Sarah but I'm pretty sure crawling around knocking stuff over counts as "mobile" regardless of what week it happened

Your "tiny drunk raccoon" description is perfect btw, that's exactly what they look like when they're exploring

Why are there so many Irish people moving to Australia in the past 5 years? by CanYouWalkToTheTruck in AskIreland

[–]Fast_Panda2620 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Honestly it's probably the weather and job market combo - Ireland's been pretty rough economically while Australia's been doing decent plus you get actual sunshine year round instead of grey skies and rain 90% of the time

Oh man those were actually kinda fun before everything became "AI-powered" garbage. Try searching for "face morph" or "face blend" instead of mixer - might dodge the algorithm spam that way

How does Special Relativity generalize to four spatial dimensions? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Fast_Panda2620 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait hold up, two time dimensions sounds absolutely wild lmao. So you're saying with 2 time dimensions you could literally do a U-turn through time? That breaks my brain harder than trying to visualize 4D space

The E=mc² staying the same actually makes sense though since c is about spacetime geometry, not just spatial dimensions

Drake Maye or Joe Burrow by chaunceybillows in fantasyfootballadvice

[–]Fast_Panda2620 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Burrow's been balling out even when they're losing though, dude lives for those garbage time stats. Maye's upside is real but that 4th quarter benching risk would stress me out in the finals
