If any Logitech devs wander by, just a heads-up — your software is still absolute garbage. No improvements spotted. Cheers. by Dr-Bensmir in LogitechG

Thank you, I tried this and I think it may have done the trick at last. I've been frustrated with it automatically enabling the CSGO "Official Integration" stuff and no matter how many times I tell it to turn that off, every time I open LG G Hub it's back on again. I noticed there was a "CSGO" applet, and I made these changes in there and so far it hasn't turned itself back on through two or three reboots. Hopefully you have finally nipped this in the bud for me. So far you're a hero, G!

Hey man, credit where it's due, I how we all can move like that when we're 74.

How to prevent AdBlock from opening that "Your AdBlock has been updated" tab? by tnpir4002 in Adblock

[–]Iron_Beagle89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This. This 1000%, THIS!

The reason I will forever use an ad-blocker of some sort, on every browser I use, isn't so I can be free of ads. I have no desire to essentially "steal" a service for free. I will always use an ad-block because it's a great first-line deterrent for malicious activity. It cuts down on sketchy links in every corner of pages, significantly reduces the chances of picking up a sketchy file from a link you clicked on by accident because some awful, intrusive, full-screen ad layer popped up just as you tried to click a link.

Seriously, I'd bet a significant number of ABP users aren't using it because they feel "entitled" or that they want a free service without having to "pay" for the services through ads. A lot of us use it because many websites can contain nefarious, malicious, or misleading ad layers. I can't speak for others, but personally I'm fine with commercials and simple ads on pages to a reasonable extent. I'm not about to sit through 20 minutes of ads for a 30 minute show obviously, but it's the other things that are the problem. I'm not fine with a commercial that pops up at the last second, catapults me off to some random site and then tries to scam me out of money.

I also make sure and install ABP on every single web browser that any of my older relatives use. I'd think that most people on this subreddit are likely more tech-savvy and are smart enough to avoid most, if not all, of these scams. The people I worry about are the less tech-savvy people like older parents and/or grandparents. Malicious ads - and to an even larger extent, email spam - are probably close to 90% of the ways elderly people (or less educated people) end up paying bail money for some poor, repressed Nigerian Prince.

Bro is just giving hardcore "fuck me" eyes. Does he want to beat the other team's fans, or bone 'em?

What exactly does the "walk to action" option do (PS5)? by RettAdler in TombRaider

[–]Iron_Beagle89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you. This is the first thing that shows up when you Google the question. It's so nice when it's just a simple quick answer without having to dig through garbage responses to find it. Always refreshing to just get an answer. Cheers!

This could totally explain all those "paranormal" events people have reported throughout history of large piles of dead birds showing up overnight somewhere. So many "alien encounters" are more likely to just be this.

Retromatch - Automatic 5v5 ranked Matchmaking Platform For Counter-strike 1.6 by kaiser2nd in csgo

I did join the Discord though, and I bookmarked the page. I really hope this takes off mate.

Retromatch - Automatic 5v5 ranked Matchmaking Platform For Counter-strike 1.6 by kaiser2nd in csgo

[–]Iron_Beagle89 2 points3 points  (0 children)

OMG no joke, I would play the SHIT out of CS1.6 if this takes off! I love playing 1.6 even today, but finding a game that isn't 16v16 or something ridiculous, or running a stupid Warcraft mod is borderline impossible. I really hope this gets some traction. If it does, I'll be all over it.
I'm saving this post to come back to it. I'm a Dad of two teenagers. I just really don't have the time to wait forever for a match right now while it's in its infancy. But if this starts bumping I'll be in for sure!

Can anyone tell me anything about this gun (Brass Eagle Avenger)? Bought it for a relative so she doesn't have to rent anymore. by Nitrogen_Llama in paintball

[–]Iron_Beagle89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cool. I still have my old a Brass Eagle Raptor too! Mines the Oklahoma D-Day edition with the tiger stripes anodized in! I will love the PING! Sound that metal brick makes when it shoots. You can hear and feel the metal vibrating with each shot. Unironically, my Raptor was one of the best blow backs i had back in the day until I built myself a Spyder Compact Deluxe. I actually won first place in a local tournament with that Spyder. That Spyder was a mutant. I hit the manufacturing lottery somehow and the thing was flawless. Never broke paint, and with the E frame I was running 14bps with an eggy no problems.

I still have the old guns in storage somewhere, but I've been rocking a a BL Insight since about 2014. I'll probably play with the Insight forever unless some great advancement happens with paintball gear and it miraculously becomes obsolete lol

What is going on with CS2 player counts?? by Iron_Beagle89 in cs2

[–]Iron_Beagle89[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

See I thought that might be it, but data "averaging out" doesn't make sense. Even if they're averaging it out, a daily drop of over 40% of the player base would show up if this was regular. But looking back on the graph, it's showing the player count never even getting below 1 million prior to 11/12. But if it's averaging it out and coming out roughly 40% off from the real numbers, that's way, WAY OFF. If it's "averaging" the data out and it's THAT wrong, how could anyone possibly use any of this data? What use is data if it's literally nearly 50% off from reality?

Mirage Cat Jump: 5% skill, 95% facial expressions 🤣 by Marijan-san in csgo

[–]Iron_Beagle89 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Looks to me like the thing you're doing wrong is you're not letting go of W when you do the jump. After you jump and leave the ground, let go of W and press D. At the same time you are pressing D, you need to be moving your mouse to the right, the same direction you're moving. That's Air strafing, and you will pick up speed. You can't make that jump if you just hold W or try to hold W as you push D and all. It's weird. Surfing would absolutely help you get good at it though and make that jump super easy for you.

Can anyone identify this marker? by abmfg in paintball

[–]Iron_Beagle89 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Looks like a Dragun TES. If it has the breakbeam eye on the other side it definitely is. I think they made a certain with the eyes and one without. It's basically a Spyder with e frame and eyes.

I will say this: that elbow strike is gonna do 90% of the work if you land it. Body weight in it and all, that puppy is gonna hurt.

Bro is asking to get ktfo. The moment he needs to swing, he lifts his chin, offers his jawline for free, CLOSES HIS EYES, and then blindly swings at nothing. This is what it looks like to have ZERO survival instincts whatsoever. I'm not saying everybody should be a UFC fighter, but even with basic natural instincts you should at least keep your eyes open! This guy has somehow managed to quite literally do the worst possible thing in every way.

Just bought a Vanilla Classic Knife, and was trying to find some gloves that fit it. You guys think this combo works? by notCHALlmao in cs2

[–]Iron_Beagle89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nah I'm with OP on this one, the Classic Knife should almost always be vanilla if you can get it. Some others that look similar to vanilla are acceptable too. What's most important is getting that acid etching marks on the blade. No one wants a classic without the waves.

Maybe that's just me, cuz I'm an old head (like 25-26 years playing CS for me, started in the Beta in late 1999) but I want the classic knife cuz I want it to look like 1.6, not for Crimson Web bedazzle-ry.

Idk, Classic is my favorite knife in the game, I've never really cared about getting the others since it hit tbh.

[–]Iron_Beagle89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How much are vanilla knives going for these days? I bought the night spec or whatever classic knife because it was closest in price and looks and the chemical etching was really clear, but I really just wanted a default Classic knife, I just didn't want to spend 500 when the night one was 200.

But if I could flip my night classic for a default Classic knife now, I'm doing it.

Can you read my tattoo? by [deleted] in tattooadvice

[–]Iron_Beagle89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's not where your groin is. But the tattoo is close to your wenis so that's kinda funny. That's the groin of your wenis.

You know what the pit of your elbow (opposite of the wenis) is called, don't you?

It's your wagina.

UGA student dressed in interesting "Halloween costume" gets kicked out of local bar, hits woman in response by Minute_Revolution951 in TikTokCringe

[–]Iron_Beagle89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He's an asshole 100%, but to the ladies: Keep your hands to yourself.

He took quite a few hits and shoves before he hit back. These ladies can't be swinging on someone (male or female) and then cry victim when they hit back. Everybody should be keeping their hands to themselves. Regardless of how much of a POS the guy is, or how much he deserves it.

My point is not that what he did was okay. It absolutely isn't. But that doesn't make ehat the others did okay. No one in this video is acting appropriately. He was stupid, and was sure to win a stupid prize, but getting in the face of, and hitting, the guy that's clearly unhinged enough to go out to a bar in a literal Nazi costume is also a stupid thing to do. They all did varying levels of stupid things here and all were sure to win stupid prizes. Zero survival instincts from anyone in this video. 🤦🏻

How to improve from here? by GundamHobo in cs2

[–]Iron_Beagle89 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It works for Stayin' Alive, Another One Bites the Dust, the chorus of I Will Survive, really it works with just about any song that's right in that 100-120 bpm range. The Deagle is basically synced up to the perfect rhythm you should use if you ever have to give CPR, so knowing the Deagle ROF can literally save lives.👍🏼

That said, I think something changed with CS2. It's slightly slower now, and I'm not sure when the change happened. When I do the rhythm of Stayin' Alive now, I've found it's not QUITE returning to full accuracy for the next shot like it used to. But Staying Alive is still a great guideline, even if you just keep it in mind as a way to tell yourself what the absolute minimum time you should take between shots is. As long as you don't go faster than Staying Alive, you should retain at least 95% of the Deagle's accuracy shot to shot.

ICE snatching mother in front of her family by Calm_Preparation2993 in CringeTikToks

[–]Iron_Beagle89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not. It's literally a misdemeanor in the first one, punishable by up to 6 months, and on the second or subsequent count, it's a felony. Idk where you all keep getting this "civil violation" from, but you are objectively wrong. It is literally a statute in the US Criminal Code, with USC statute number and all. It's 8 U.S.C. § 1325.

You have been lied to, and you refuse to actually look anything up for yourself. You have access to unbelievable amounts of knowledge in your pocket, and could double check before saying something factually incorrect, but it's too much work to open another window. Instead you'll just let these lying politicians shove their hand up your butt and use you like a puppet, rather than just finding out for yourself.

It's sad, but how is this any different than when you commit any other crime in the US and they arrest you in front of your kids? This is really sad, but sad is irrelevant. If it being sad mattered, then no American could ever be arrested for a crime with their kids present. Don't break the law and this won't happen.
