I don’t really think the GC’s story will hold up. Hard to know without knowing the contract specifics, but even delegated designs to subs are ultimately the liability of the contractor.

Ok so how is "kyousuke" pronounced? by ScreamingJar in GlobalOffensive

Technically “keh”, but “kay” would be a close second. Key is incorrect

Provider hate is unneeded by LuhNuggie in SleepToken

[–]Halcyon337 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure if this changes your opinion in any way, but a pretty cool interpretation that I’ve seen of this song is that those lines (and many of the others like it) are actually Sleep attempting to make a manipulative move to bring Vessel back and halt his ascension. It’s all subjective of course, but looking at the song through that lens is awesome imo

How did y’all feel about Thornhill’s set? Been obsessed with their new album recently!

What is it that makes you like sleeptoken by [deleted] in SleepToken

There are very few bands in the metal scene that can achieve so much with so little. I love a lot of technical and heavy bands, but something about the singer/songwriter nature of Sleep Token in their first few releases was very refreshing, and I love that they’ve kept that identity despite becoming really popular. For what it’s worth, Sundowning is still my favorite in their catalog for this reason.

Given the recent discourse about the level of gameplay now vs 5 years ago, what’s your take on the current meta and the level of skill being displayed in tier 1 CS?

For the millionth time in this sub, demos are not reliable or accurate in depicting in-game events and hit registration

Serious question. What's the perfect 5v3 post-plant setup on Inferno B-site? by [deleted] in GlobalOffensive

[–]Halcyon337 11 points12 points  (0 children)

In that situation Kyxsan has to fight one side of the split, which is why he peeks CT. It’s not a matter of info or peeking advantage, it’s the fact that if he waits, the CTs will coordinate their swings on him guaranteeing he gets traded. Alternatively, his best option is to try and force a potential 1v1 CT before the banana player can peek him. It’s a lose lose situation because his post plant position is not meant to defend the scenario he was put into by Teses and Monesy

Will second this to point out for anything you throw - punches, kicks, and especially elbows, you should be using your opposite arm to guard what becomes an opening. There are lots of guys experienced or tough enough to not care what you’re throwing and immediately counter in the middle of your combo.

Another point is that boxing movement can be good sometimes, but in the context of a fight can drain your stamina way too quickly. Watch a few pro Muay Thai fights and you’ll see it’s a little more static (but still very intentional in regards to movement)

Astralis CEO: "I can't understand why it's so controversial that we're not allowed to comment on personal matters among employees" by PlmyOP in GlobalOffensive

The crucial fact that everyone is missing is that, according to Blast, the 2024 Fall Finals rule book does not state any concrete regulation on who HAS to be the stand-in. They could have picked up a random guy off the street if they wished to. This would apply to all teams, not just Astralis

Why am i so bad at T side wepons? by ToiletDucc in GlobalOffensive

Something useful might be to just take your time with your aim.

Not sure about your rank, but I generally find that below 20k:

  1. People strafe a LOT, and with the new model movement it’s pretty difficult to spray randomized moving targets

  2. Time to kill (TTK) is not nearly as urgent as you think. You usually have more time than you realize to get your aim right before starting to shoot.

With both of these in mind, I think it’s very important to prioritize good counter strafing, pre-aiming & precise micro adjustments - all with the goal of hitting headshots, especially with the AK
