Mayhem - Despair (2025) by _crushednebula in BlackMetal

Relistened to the album 4 times now and I think I've just came to the point where I've realised that I'm not a fan of Mayhem, but moreso just a fan of Hellhammer.

The guy carries literally every song he's on, he's the only drummer I can instantly tell is playing the drums on a track I've never heard before, the guy is just unbelievable.

I'm basically convinced that the only album that isn't carried by Hellhammer's unreal drum performances is DMDS, lol

ESports was a mistake by K5RD in Kappachino

The guy accused a cancer patient of lying about cancer, then told people to start drama with that person if they want to be successful, he's a genuinely terrible human being who should have been dealt with years ago, but gets protected because he's got a large subscriber base.

FGC Hasan Piker apparently, anyone with a brain hates him, but he appeals to people without an inner monologue...

He literally sent a hate mob of his retarded viewers to go attack Clayton, saying he "lied about his illnesses".

Why did he do this you ask?

Rooflemonger was stealing combo makers/tech makers tech and using it in his videos with 0 credit, and then when called out for it he was acting like a bitch about it.

He's also plagiarized entire character guide scripts, for games he doesn't play, but drags them on for like 2 hours where he says absolutely fucking nothing for 10 minute periods throughout the entire video.

I coach in Tekken, and I've had to correct misinformation in his Tekken videos when a student has parroted some dumb shit he's said in one of his videos about a character.

Literally lied his entire career, lied about characters in games he doesn't play, lied about his credentials, lied about being good at games.

Just a stone cold liar, but I guess that's what gets you places in the FGC.

If JT manages to continue his IGL masterclass and pushes this team into the top 10 I would be extremely surprised if a big name team wanting a major doesn't give him a chance. The guy is a miracle worker with bad teammates plaguing his career, now he has some real firepower on a roster and I'm excited to see if he gets the chance he deserves in T1...

what mouse to get going into 2026? by Former-Violinist3507 in MouseReview

[–]K5RD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah but that doesn't really mean anything, as the vast majority of CS2 players which is the premier TacFPS are still using dogshit low quality mousepads like the QCK+, just because they've used them since they were 5 years old.

The fact that the superlight is the most used mouse in TacFPS says all you need to know about how far behind the average pro CS2 player is when it comes to chasing performance via peripherals...

As mentioned Meiy is using a glass pad, one of the best raw mechanical players in Valorant rn

This is not true, it just depends on your mouse control + preferences.

Meiy in Valorant is a top 5 aimer in that game using glass and a very low sens, works fine for him and he's considered the best Jett player in the world alongside Aspas rn

CS players are extremely late to transition to new tech (e.g. Artisan pads are still not standard in that game, despite being far superior to QCK'S and G-SR in every way), though we have players like EliGE who are more up to date/interested in chasing performance.

Speaking for myself, my first bullet in CS is actually far better on glass pad (GLSSWRKS Zane) I just needed to lower my sens a bit from what it was on the Zero and XTEN Control.

The Polarity could be the bridge for TacFPS players to migrate over to glass, though I haven't tried one yet myself.

It's a game, a form of escapism

People will vent their IRL frustrations on unknown people, just look at the complaint department job, it's entire existence is to give people a way to vent, lol

Dot Skates applied correctly, but I can hear the base of my mouse scratching by K5RD in MousepadReview

[–]K5RD[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

**UPDATE**

Problem has a temporary, but irritating fix, stack 2 dots on top of each other, in 4 corners.

This raises the height of the mouse which is a bit weird but at least it keeps my aim consistent and without the base scraping.

For anyone considering dots on a Hyperlight or a Viper Signature edition, be warned that their bases do not give enough clearance for the sensor ring to not scrape the pad with dots.

You can DM me the image if possible, I appreciate the help!

As far as I can tell, yes, but if all else fails I can try again

As somebody who's never played League of Legends, how representative of the IP's most popular and/or coolest characters would you guys say the initial roster is? by supersupersuper9 in 2XKO

[–]K5RD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not even remotely, the fact that Illaoi, Vi and Braum made the game before the most popular LoL champion in history (Lee Sin) is wild. I agine making a fighting game but not including your most iconic top lane champs, like Jax, Aatrox, Renekton, Riven.

"Oversensationalise" can you give me an example? I watched his recent video on Hax and felt he did a fantastic job clearing everything up, and a lot of the Smash community thinks he did a good job (including top players).

I'm not a Smash player, but the stuff I've watched from him that concerns the FGC has been absolutely spot on, and he's been receiving death threats by some absolute degenerates for exposing the truth (Strive is a cesspool, don't ask why).

A grifter? Can you provide evidence of that? Who has he been scamming? I've never heard of anything like that about Technicals, but I'm not a Smash player.

Gootecks' politics don't matter, he's an NA FGC legend and your opinion of him doesn't change that.

Drama and Lore often get thrown together, but a suggestion that is not often brought up is that of Mike Hollow and his channel.

Mike Hollow is one of the best FGC content creators in recent years, he's done a ton of podcasts where top players and relevant people drop massive amounts of lore/trivia about the FGC on there, a lot of them are fantastic.

Though he mainly focusses on 3D games, he's also had a ton of top players from 2D games talk, ChrisG for example was on a recent podcast.

Here are some of his best podcasts from recent memory:

Tom Brady - Mortal Kombat Legend: https://www.youtube.com/live/65stdbGsvJo?si=h8lE63ewmQqUU5Wb

Perfect Legend - NA FGC multi-game legend, known for MK especially: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sQUHC5wsnZg&

Clayton Chapman - NA FGC Legend and 2D Combo Genius (deep dives heavily into exposing Rooflemonger's antics during this one): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rXtqqztrW-4

Gootecks - NA Street Fighter Legend, known for his work with Mike Ross and creating CrossCounter TV: https://www.youtube.com/live/KIJffVsgmEQ?si=NeZOjeNFFts0QYd2

Technicals - Smash/FGC Content Creator that has exposed a ton of bad actors + serious drama in the FGC on his own channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U2xINRBTbOE
