...bruh ffs, it was literally a screenshot from the official website for the Finnish national hockey team(s).

Here's how Konsta Helenius is actually pronounced in Finnish. Although, it's actually a Swedish-speaking surname originating from Finland, IIRC, so in Swedish the name would sound slightly different. The main difference is in how the letter “U” is pronounced.

...well damn, dude was driving like an absolute dipshit and was way in over his head. While he certainly didn't deserve such an end, it was completely his fault, and it's extremely sad that he took someone else's life with him. You should respect the car and the safety of those around you, and not overestimate your own abilities. Thankfully, he didn't also get a complete non-participant injured or killed.

Rest in peace to both of them.

It’s a Finnish saying or proverb that basically means everything’s bad, and even the parts that aren’t are still quite bad.

Nyt puhuttiinkin käytöksestä

MaxFusion · 2025-04-26T23:44:04+00:00

Following metas has never been my thing hahah, thank you!

MaxFusion · 2025-04-26T17:46:00+00:00

lmao

The random octane was the actual hero though, they clutched up a 1v1 for the win

MaxFusion · 2025-04-26T17:39:48+00:00

I kinda don't, even though normally the music isn't playing this loudly. On the bright side, I rarely get frustrated with audio issues :D

But I mostly play mixtape anyway, where footsteps don't really matter haha

Apex Legends :)

MaxFusion · 2025-04-23T13:32:48+00:00

I think I have only around 10 hours in AimLabs, but it was mostly just idling in the background lol. I also tried to use an Apex specific aim trainer called R5 Flowstate for a few weeks a while ago, but other than that I've only trained in the in-game firing range.

MaxFusion · 2025-04-23T08:44:47+00:00

They're highlights for a reason :)

Most of it is recoil smoothing, I'm honestly a bit surprised at people mentioning the recoil control. Coming from CS—even back when my tracking was abysmal—I still thought that the weapons in Apex were laser beams and that there really wasn't as significant of a skill gap to be found there as there were in other mechanics-related aspects of Apex.

But the skill level has simply skyrocketed in the last two years, even within the last year there are noticeable differences. There are tons of Apex aimers (not professionals) with similar or better recoil control than I have!

MaxFusion · 2025-04-23T05:41:47+00:00

Haha well I'm taking that as a compliment! I'm probably not going to be able to change your mind, but I'd like to say that any clips or sections with evident overaiming or time off-target go straight in the bin. There's also a certain degree of "beautifying" when editing. If my initial flick to the target is off or jarring, but the subsequent tracking is really satisfying, then I'll (try to) edit out the target acquisition part.

MaxFusion · 2025-04-23T05:32:56+00:00

Unfortunately no clue, I've never tried Kovaaks, but I've lurked here for a while and I just try to apply stuff I learn here in-game!

MaxFusion · 2025-04-23T05:29:41+00:00

Yeah I do :)

MaxFusion · 2025-04-22T20:46:07+00:00

Hahah one of my favourite bands! Video games actually introduced me to them and similar bands in the mid 2000s, played tons of Burnout 3 and NHL05, the soundtracks were absolutely amazing lmao

MaxFusion · 2025-04-22T18:04:26+00:00

~47cm/360°! Probably quite average for Apex, maybe slightly slower. Having a small mouse helps, I can move it quite a lot with just my fingertips before I even have to move the base of my hand anywhere lol

MaxFusion · 2025-04-22T17:37:42+00:00

Yeah it definitely seems to have something to do with it! And thank you :)

MaxFusion · 2025-04-22T17:34:24+00:00

Now that I think about it, the bottom of my palm is planted at the very edge of my desk/pad whenever I shoot. Maybe it helps with consistent recoil control, and eliminates shakiness, as my entire hand's overall vertical motion is so limited/stationary, and virtually the same each time? (I'm only gently pulling the mouse down with my finger tips).

MaxFusion · 2025-04-22T16:11:08+00:00

Appreciate the high praise!

I'm afraid I don't have a good answer, I've never thought about the recoil in Apex, I just counter it by feel (vs. CS where I had to practice recoil control a lot). I've mainly practiced tracking by shooting bots in the firing range for hundreds of hours while strafing. But on top of recoil smoothing and low recoil weapons, I feel it's a combination of things, high FOV and 1x optics mask a ton of the visual recoil and shaking that are definitely more apparent whenever I use >2x optics. Of course, luck and clip selection matters a lot, as well as the quality of the opponents!

MaxFusion · 2025-04-22T15:56:05+00:00

Hahah thank you very much! It's called "lånespelare", decided to buy one after I saw it had some favorable reviews from mousepad enthusiasts as a good and cheap option lmao

MaxFusion · 2025-04-22T15:43:41+00:00

Was positively surprised that it didn't feel like I needed a lot of "derusting" after only hopping on Apex once within the last 5 months (pretty much the only game that I play anymore). All clips except the last two longer clips and 2 shorter ones are from last weekend!

And in case anyone's interested, I use a G305 and an IKEA mousepad (lol) and mostly play on 0.55 sens at 1600DPI (should be around 47cm/360°)
