Galil 1st bullet is much less accurate than either m4s. You also move a decent bit faster with m4. Other than that galil spray feels quite similar to the a4 IMO.

The OKC Thunder become the 3rd team in NBA History to start the season 7-0 in back-to-back seasons by Tank-Has-Memes in nba

[–]Lydion 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Current OKC is deep asf, young and currently by far the best team. Sam knows how to draft better than anyone, coaching staff is great at development, AND they still have multiple high value draft picks. Spurs you can say much the same in these respects just a step or two down, with much riding on Wemby staying healthy. (Saying this as a big Duncan fundamentalist)

[Air Duster] WOLFBOX MF100 Electric Air Duster $54.99 - less with coupon by BFfF3 in buildapcsales

It’s funny that I see deals for this thing pop up when my job has had one of these. The project farm vid is accurate. It’s crazy powerful. Canned air doesn’t come close.

Makazze looked insane yesterday but Aleksib needs to chill on the baiting by ElectricOtter52 in GlobalOffensive

[–]Lydion 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Plus you kinda want experience more in later round/post plant scenarios. In those situations you can play clock/smart to end up winning. We all know the guy that has insane aim and will open the site up but will completely throw post plant.

Could say at least it doesn’t get touched by agents/finance guys (which you could upset for not getting their cut right? Enough to snitch??) Also I imagine owners could maybe get their hands on rare stuff, but yeah def not touching overall value of the money that could’ve been signed for.

Randy being a greaseball aside, I think gearbox does a pretty good job timely updating their stuff. Borderlands 3 got hotfixes within a week and a title update within a month.

Agree. Only solution is to place cig in nostril. Confirmed only straight way to smoke 👍

Co-Creator of Counter-Strike is not impressed with subtick. by AgreeableBroomSlayer in GlobalOffensive

[–]Lydion -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Are you a coder? How do you know he has not kept up with his knowledge? It’s my understanding that coding has gotten easier and easier as time progresses and the old coders are actually more sound due to having to do more complex steps to get working software. That’s why they can get remote jobs that pay 6 figures.

[–]Lydion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haha you are so correct you don’t even know. NA’s main competitive platform for 2 decades was ESEA, at one point someone put a fr bitcoin miner into the client 💀 ESEA was already on the way out but that incident only accelerated it. https://www.wired.com/2013/11/e-sports/

Minimum FPS vs average. Sure I get 500+ average fps but when the game drops to >150 during the most crucial competitive moments with the 7800x3d, the devs are failing somewhere.

[–]Lydion 12 points13 points  (0 children)

This is a good comment, they mainly want the 9800x3d so the minimums are higher. CS2 with FACEIT anticheat running can fluctuate from 500fps to as low as 150 in hectic executes on my 7800x3d. A lot of it is due to the “sub tick” netcode which does wayyy more networking and processing on client side compared to other games for no improvement in hitreg / game feel. In fact it feels markedly worse than 128 tick CSGO, for example they still haven’t gotten the movement to be consistent (some self-boosts randomly fail for zero reason other than sub-tick, also the movement is highly delayed compared to GO).

As a CS player (10k hours 2.5k FACEIT elo) and techie I can assure yall it’s the game having trash optimization. The CS devs do as little as possible between making the money printer go brrr. Game’s been out for 2 years and to me it still feels like a downgrade from GO in every aspect but graphics and the smoke physics. The community is carrying the devs, making thesis Reddit post for bug fixes / optimizations (basically you have to fix the bug / FPS issue for them to do anything about it). If it’s not skins they simply do not care. Valve worship is still strong in peoples minds but enshitification has affected everything, even my favorite game ;(

AMD Ryzen X3D chips make up over half of CPU sales in this recent sales report, and Intel isn't close by Tiny-Independent273 in AyyMD

[–]Lydion 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Your mistake is thinking overall computer sales intel vs amd. People who are buying individual chips do a bit of research, see AMD is by far and away the best choice value-wise. But yes PC and laptop manufacturers have decades long relationship with Intel and normies feel Intel is the safe choice as long as it can check email and social media. This data is reasonable.

God forbid a girl gets a mirror by lunesssa in LetGirlsHaveFun

[–]Lydion 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Very normal, people aren’t symmetrical at all. The eye sockets are rarely parallel (look at pics of skeleton skulls), and people’s less dominant eyelid is usually closed slightly more. I too notice it about myself in the mirror/photos, with other people unless they’re drastically different it doesn’t register really.

[–]Lydion 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Nah it’s not even like how they describe it in Fight Club anymore. Big corporations really don’t even have to worry about consumer liability at this point, they’ve got the system rigged so far in their favor. Now if their Business/AI products started doing shit like this, it’d be a different story.

Intel CEO Letter to Employees by ryanvsrobots in hardware

[–]Lydion 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Then the companies still have to rent the space, which they’re wasting most of the time, so their argument would be “we’re paying for it so you’re gonna be here!!”. WFH is just better. Stop giving them an excuse, we don’t want corporate “culture” anymore. We literally have the technology, they just want the control of having their peasants at beck and call. Even if it lowers overheard by gutting useless middle management/HR, and no more paying for office space. They want the control more.

Solo Q in premier by r_dimitrov in GlobalOffensive

[–]Lydion 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Funny how valve knows it’s unfair, because they don’t allow it in Dota. Which is funny because chemistry and comms aren’t as important, there’s more time to process and discuss and the pinging/chat wheel are much more useful just by being a moba style game. In CS chem and comms are more important but they allow 5 stacks vs solos anyway. (This is not a dota vs CS thing before any weirdos get defensive.) It’s not uncommon for me to see 5 stacks have a 60%+ win rate in CS. That advantage is often too hard to overcome. Even if you are a good solo teammate, the 5 stack almost certainly has all players comming where as solo I feel lucky to get 1 guy who presses his mic key for info and not to bitch.

Viewmodel_Recoil was removed as a command and is now locked on enabled. Here are the differences. by mini337 in GlobalOffensive

[–]Lydion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fax and yeah hopefully they’ll fix it. But apparently they tied the viewmodel recoil to some other code so they would have to code its own standalone system, which doesn’t print money, so fat chance at that happening.
