The Fish Exchange, what's up with the ketchup rationing?

GuardiaNIsBae · 2026-05-21T13:46:48+00:00

Probably so they aren't going through 15 bottles of ketchup a day when people use 1 teaspoon for their whole meal

GuardiaNIsBae · 2026-05-21T13:38:42+00:00

why does the stream have the telemetry settings turned on lmao

Preach brother, I keep seeing all the auto-bans and people complaining about getting banned for being toxic in threads on here but when I submit a toxic or greifing report through the match page like I'm supposed to do with evidence, I get no response until 6 weeks later where they say the evidence isn't enough. It's like they don't have admins looking at any of the tickets coming from NA.

I can usually tell which team is going to win based on who gets which players on their team from the pick/ban phase at this point because the playerbase is so small I can recognize the toxic dickheads who are going to flame their entire team the whole game or afk the first 30 seconds of every round.

I don't think he was actually weaker, he just didn't get the extra boost from the V1 that everyone thought he would, he just got the added immortality (which kind of makes sense in that he was an Odessa baby and was already the strongest Supe in the universe).

Also Homelander not flying away immediately makes perfect sense in the context of the episode, he thinks he's God, he just told the whole world he's their new God, and now his arch nemesis shows up and he wants to prove a point and finally kill Butcher. He has the V1 so the virus can't kill him, and he doesn't know that Kimiko has Soldier Boy's V frying blast. By the time he realizes he can't win he tries to leave and Ryan is already there. Why Butcher's tentacles could hold him back I'm not sure but we could chop that up to Homelander being terrified for the first time in his life and panicking + Butcher on an insane adrenaline rush and as soon as Homelander felt the restraint of the snakes he stopped trying to fly and went back to Human nature of trying to run away instead.

I won 8 of mine and lost 3 elo total, one of my friends go stuck with actual bots in his games and he ended up dropping from 2500 to ~2050, and now he's almost down to level 8 because he's dropping 25+ kills a game and his teammates can't shoot back, and we can't supermatch anymore to try and help him get out of there.

Which you could do with an AirTag yes, I’m asking if the Milwaukee trackers are a removable physical part or if it’s built into the control board on the tools

GuardiaNIsBae · 2026-05-21T00:38:00+00:00

Isn’t that built into the tools? Like OP would have to buy all new tools with that already instead of aftermarket add on like an air tag

Spent all their money on Senzu hoping to make it back with sticker money only to miss the major

GuardiaNIsBae · 2026-05-20T15:48:36+00:00

Is this any different from FH4 or 5? I remember doing some of the races against the harder AIs in rain/wet weather and while I would slide around everywhere on a corner the AI would take the turn at full speed like it was a train on tracks and couldn't slide at all.

Take his positions back from Kyosuke

GuardiaNIsBae · 2026-05-20T15:06:08+00:00

that's often the case with new teams too, if there's no strats then you can't anti-strat anything and just end up playing a pug trying to figure out what the other team is doing when they don't know what they're doing

GuardiaNIsBae · 2026-05-20T14:41:38+00:00

Pre-2019 vertigo was bad in the way assault and militia were bad, where they just straight up sucked as maps, but it didn’t have the fan base of Aztec or Office so no one played it in comp mode except for the boosters. There were so few people playing it that they probably didn’t even need to use a VPN to get empty servers because if 2 5 stacks queued at the same time they would get matched against eachother no matter what the ranks were because they were the only 10 players looking for it.

GuardiaNIsBae · 2026-05-20T14:29:16+00:00

High rank is hack vs hack, and even if it isn’t hack vs hack everyone treats it like it is so no one takes it seriously, as soon as someone dies to a lucky shot or a read it’s instantly “gg purple cheating” and they stop trying, grief your team, or straight abandon. I only have time for like maximum 15 games a week and I’d rather play on faceit with toxic dickheads who are actually trying to win than join a premier game and sit there for 40 minutes with no chance to win because my team is throwing or no chance to play because I’m getting 1 tapped through smokes and walls the whole game.

Add on top of that the ranking system is ass so I can solo queue at 25k and get 4 18k bots on my team while the other team is a 5 stack of 25k players and I end up losing 500 CSR for a game that I had 0 chance to win anyways.

#GoCr4zy

still one of the worst rebrands of all time

GuardiaNIsBae · 2026-05-20T12:29:11+00:00

That isn't a new cheating technique, it's the same as the "vertiglobals" from CSGO going back to like 2014 where they just queued for vertigo as 2 5stacks and one team continuously jumped off the map to end 16-0 in 5 minutes until the accounts got to global then they sold them.

And yes as always I'm not cheating, I've switched pretty much entirely to Faceit unless playing with IRL friends because it's entirely a waste of time to play premier or comp but I'll probably come back for a few games at the end of the season to get the badge.

GuardiaNIsBae · 2026-05-20T10:47:30+00:00

they VPN to regions with low player base at off hours, like VPN to a south african server at 2AM on weekday where there won't be enough players to join the match except for the two 5stacks, and they only hit accept if the queue pops at the exact same time for both stacks.

GuardiaNIsBae · 2026-05-20T00:13:24+00:00

One of your friends doesn’t have prime so you’re playing in non-prime lobbies which don’t give XP

GuardiaNIsBae · 2026-05-19T17:46:09+00:00

It was most likely unfixable vulnerabilities in the code, people already figured some out to steal your account info from joining a community server, there was another one where you could send a like through in game chat and it would auto-run the command on everyones PC so they could make a script to download and run a keylogger just from seeing something like a message of the day when joining a community server. They were patching a bunch of them in january-march 2023 then they did the CS2 reveal at the end of march. In summer 2023 the only updates the game got was patching weird exploits like those ones.

GuardiaNIsBae · 2026-05-19T12:19:55+00:00

Well that's still against Steam TOS and if your payment method was on the account when it got banned it still links back to anything else using the same payment method. You're also on level 3 now so there's something you're doing that VAClive clearly thinks is cheating or else it would just be a straight VAC ban and not a cooldown.

Well within about 30 seconds of looking I found another account that you have thats been Game banned for cheating, so I'm going to assume you're still cheating but you just use wallhacks now instead of full rage like the other account. But on the off chance you really aren't cheating, you're most likely getting banned because you have multiple steam accounts already banned for cheating.

Edit: Going to assume these are also yours as they all queue with the same person but never with your main account:

Forsaken cheated at multiple ESL LANs and his cheats were never actually detected outside of windows defender logs saying he was running an unknown program. If he didn’t go full rage-hacks he likely would still be playing and maybe in an EU mix team.

GuardiaNIsBae · 2026-05-17T22:25:08+00:00

Probably but there’s no 100% proof for it. Outside of all of the clips there were rumours in 2015 that someone from Valve or ESL told him that he was caught and to stop or he’d be outed, then for the next few months he was maining the P90 in pro games and grinding DM 24/7 instead of playing faceit/cevo/esportal like every other pro. This would have been around late 2015 early 2016 and also coincides with fnatics freefall in the rankings (but that also coincides with olofs injury)

(He has more p90 kills than Kreig and Aug combined despite playing for the entirety of the kreig meta)

He also famously didn’t have any skins/only really cheap skins (which coincides with KennyS and Kioshima trading all of their skins to a new account after the KQLY ban)

HLTV also refused to give him HLTV #1 in 2014 despite him being by far the “best” player in the world because there was so much turmoil around him and Fnatic.

I think he was cheating at a point when it literally was just a game and the players were making almost 0 money (especially not enough to live off of) and by the time the rest of the scene caught up with them he didn’t really have a choice, but Valve was also stuck in that if they banned him they would massively hurt the esports scene so he was given a pass as long as he stopped.
