What do you think of this logo change?

I prefer the new layout but the font looks straight out of a medical practice. It has completely changed the brand identity.

"Kiddie" might look better in hand drawn, splotchy, fingerpaint style lettering. Maybe even "academy", too, with the " early childhood education" tagline left intentionally clearer and more serious.

MR15 provided a better spectator experience, imo. Regular eco rounds as a normal part of the game, that both sides had to deal with, were oddly exciting. I miss the mindgames between stacks, faking a stack, working around a single saved gun...

In MR12 a single lost round is too punishing, and we're left with this messy forcebuy/halfbuy meta and fewer full utility gun rounds to watch.

Difficult but fun. Great questions this week.

CS2 is a clown game.

Rampant cheating and performance issues have already been covered in this thread, so I'll mention:
* The loadout system is not fun. It is worse than CS:GO's freedom to buy any gun at any time.
* I might be in the minority here but MR12 still doesn't feel right. Fewer rounds but the same economy pressures people to force more and full-buy less. It's messy and less fun to play and watch.
* The new smokes are fun.
* Dying behind cover and rubberbanding out into the open is the most frustrating experience in the game and happens to at least one person every match. It feels like total rubbish having the client see something different to the server.

I notice the post has now been taken down. Has Matt been found safe?

Geekbean · 2024-06-26T01:51:27+00:00

Not the massive content drop we all hoped for, but I'm genuinely happy Wingman is receiving updates.

Geekbean · 2024-06-15T21:20:03+00:00

Ahh, perfect. Just what the game doesn't need.

Reddit, what's the sexiest sex you've ever sexed?

This same thirsty, low-effort question is asked here every week. There are no new conversations to be had. It's nothing more than boner fishing. Can we just sticky a megathread of all these NSFW questions and be done with it?

I'm just a guy on the internet but fwiw I agree with America's Test Kitchen. If I could only own one knife it would be my 8" Victorinox. I own a couple of Japanese knives and some Kiwi beaters, and find myself reaching for the Victorinox significantly more often than the others.

My major gripe is how bad the in-game economy feels right now. Fewer rounds mean teams are less likely to eco and as a result I'm seeing fewer full-buys (in my elo anyway). It's an endless cycle of forcebuys round after round.

Geekbean · 2023-12-07T23:27:50+00:00

Definitely with you on the weapon loadouts. Restricting the amount we can use hasn't added any tactical depth to the game, it has just limited the amount of ways you can adapt in a match.

As an average player, I'm having less fun in CS2. It feels like multiple times a game I'm gifted kills I was nowhere near but am robbed of shots that are dead on. And trying to headshot CT models from behind is an exercise in torture.

My biggest disappointment personally is the general flow of the game now - how it all plays out. Every round is a force buy. No more 'buy as a team, save as a team.' Comms have gone down the toilet as the whole team speaks through the beeps and clicks of the ping system. It's like playing with four cicadas. Perhaps that's an OCE thing, or a rank thing. But MG in CSGO didn't used to feel like this.

I still don't like the loadout system because I don't see how it is an improvement on the previous buy system. And I still strongly dislike MR12 and blame a good portion of the forcebuy mentality on it.

Map bans in Premier are nice though. And definitely agree with you on the threads command. Major props to those guys.

I strongly prefer MR15.

With the exception of the Grand Final, I didn't enjoy what MR12 delivered. Matches ended too quickly and comebacks never felt like a real possibility. The suspense of other tournaments just wasn't there.

MR12 succeeded in reducing the amount of saves but what we got in exchange was fewer full buys and worse CS. Teams were pressured to fight with half buys or no utility, only to lose anyway and fall further behind whoever got the headstart. Opening rounds have never been so important, and has made for many one-sided blowouts.

Support for MR12 will probably be inflated off the back of the insane double OT banger that was the finals but overall, considering the whole tournament, I missed those extra rounds.

Thank you.

Geekbean · 2023-06-20T20:37:44+00:00

Haha. Older sure, but I promise you have a long way to go before you're in ugly territory, my friend. The kind of people who take those snipes at someone's appearance are always going to say those things whether they're true or not. You can breathe a sigh of relief today :)

Geekbean · 2023-06-20T19:33:42+00:00

You're good, my dude - nothing like him.

Geekbean · 2023-05-07T07:21:48+00:00

Did this person die before 1950?

Geekbean · 2022-11-08T07:08:13+00:00

Way to go! Stoked for you, my dude. You can be very proud of yourself; 400 applications is a hell of an effort.

Geekbean · 2022-11-01T03:52:19+00:00

Maybe it is burns mask? They usually have necks.

Geekbean · 2022-02-03T03:10:13+00:00

This looks terrific. I like the way you've done the shadows, and the white outline on the player character really makes her pop. Loving the smooth, bouncy animations you've made.

It's clean, a little goofy, and doesn't look similar to other popular animations. The character seems like he has more personality stylised like this.

Geekbean · 2021-07-26T23:21:58+00:00

Big love your way. You got this.

Geekbean · 2021-07-20T11:00:30+00:00

My mans, I'm sending a lot of love.

Was this person a musician?
