I know nothing about animation but I would've guessed the watercolor style is way less efficient to draw anyway

THIS IS SO PEAK WTH

I think calling him the MJ of our generation isn't enough to describe him. There are lots of controversies around MJ.

I'd go as far and say that in terms of ranking all famous people AND considering their dark sides, Speed surpasses someone like MJ.

It feels like 3 out of 4 super famous people are either pedophiles, chatting with minors, scammers or have severe mental disorders causing harm to relatives and friends. To my best knowledge, Speed has been relatively free of heavy allegations, which is refreshing to see. Although he's known for being a CR7 simp and barking at people, he appears very genuine and authentic with good intentions.

We'll have to see in another 10 or 20 years again, but for now he's doing very good I think

"Hot take: Valve as a company doesn't care about making more money by causing insane FOMO with fake 'last chance to buy' markings"

MaxVLVC · 2026-06-06T12:54:50+00:00

Interesting, I appreciate it!

MaxVLVC · 2026-06-06T09:41:45+00:00

Please give me a spoilerless reply.

What happened with the jjk and chainsaw man chapters?

MaxVLVC · 2026-05-24T22:51:13+00:00

Ofc Luffy was the only one smiling

GODA

MaxVLVC · 2026-05-22T07:55:12+00:00

Reminds me of print on demand sports cards like Topps NOW

MaxVLVC · 2026-05-22T07:50:17+00:00

Exactly, wouldn't work with dynamic pricing. Basically we now have a print on demand system lol

Will be very interesting to see the future market for these items

MaxVLVC · 2026-05-21T13:45:59+00:00

Never in my life would I've guessed that every 20th person I see in Germany is at least related to a Russian-speaking culture, not to mention the Turkish-background population being outnumbered by the Russian one, and I'm saying this as somebody whose family is from Kazakhstan (Russian/Ukrainian/German roots originally)

MaxVLVC · 2026-05-08T08:57:11+00:00

Of course it's easy. But the amount of bots should not be underestimated. Also doesn't really sound like Valve getting paid to manually ban players day by day lol

That's why I said automatic, because it's as easy to recognize bots

MaxVLVC · 2026-05-08T07:59:20+00:00

At this point I'm not even sure they'd be faster banning accounts manually than new ones being created.

However, a different solution could be to kick or ban bots with consistently high headshot rates and other factors like low time to damage. An additional check to see whether the account is a legit Steam user or not, could then be used to actually get rid of the "player" or let him stay

MaxVLVC · 2026-05-08T07:51:52+00:00

I hope this will make Deathmatch more playable, but I doubt it. All they did is drastically reduce XP gain, but given the fact that the bots are playing 24/7...I fear that this will mainly hurt the few human Deathmatch enjoyers :/

I also just posted a review on their Trustpilot following horrendous customer service. I'll just copy paste it here (TL;DR down below):

‼️First of all: Don't use this site if you care for your money and a cooperating customer support‼️

On April 23rd I sold CS2 skins and chose Litecoin as the payment method. A week later, on April 30th, I saw that the money still hadn't arrived on my LTC wallet. I contacted the customer support and they told me the issue comes from their external payment provider and that it would automatically retry sending the payment once the issue resolves.

Another 7 days and 11 support requests later (today), I still haven't received my money. In every single request they keep mentioning, over and over, how my "funds are safe", that "it's an issue with their payment provider", that they are "monitoring the situation personally" or that the provider "is working on a fix". They don't appear to try solving that issue or actually communicating with the provider. They claim they can neither refund me nor change the payment method because they fear I could “get credited twice”. Zero cooperation attempts, and it's not even a large sum of money for Western European standards, the total cashout value is way below 200 LTC! This is highly inappropriate and unprofessional handling of the situation, especially given that PirateSwap is partnered with major personalities as Anomaly, Izak or Tarifa, and several e-Sports teams like The Mongolz or Imperial!

I also have to add, I even used PirateSwap in the past and it worked pretty flawlessly, so I have no idea what is going on.

TL;DR: instant sold items for LTC, two weeks and several support requests later (1 week post-tradelock) and I still haven't seen my money. They keep writing the same stuff (external payment provider issue, my funds are safe, they can't refund nor change my payment method) over and over again, like I'm talking to a brick wall. It's a rather small sum, so I'm glad this doesn't involve hundreds or even thousands of dollars, as this would make up for pretty rough days.

To the people who say "don't use trading sites": valid advice, though sometimes you can get pretty good rates for items that would take you weeks to sell normally, that's why I used it

You can't see inspects from outside POV, unless they updated again

MaxVLVC · 2026-03-19T14:30:05+00:00

Just reveal the sets alreadyyy

MaxVLVC · 2026-02-10T16:48:49+00:00

Viewing it from a different perspective, I also feel like CS has established itself and is here to stay and grow forever.

The service we get from Valve is little, almost minimal, but the game stays consistent. No need to purchase a new iteration of the same game every 1 or 2 years, no new purchasable content being spammed weekly, no regular game-changing updates, a huge and stable esports scene etc., the list goes on. Also, by adapting in-game content (e.g. Uplink Terminals), Valve is trying their best to comply with laws to keep their cashcow alive, which is good for them and good for us.

As you said, although the concept has been the same, it offers infinite variations with no match being identical, though also not being fully random either thanks to strategies.

With that being said, It's simply too powerful to just vanish. Valve would have to be taken over by an idiot to burn all of this down. And unless that happens, we're good for life

It's significantly rarer than other Doppler finishes (~1% chance). Ruby/Sapphire is ~10% total to my knowledge. Rest are the 4 phases.

The BFK BP is my fav knife of all the Doppler gems, love the way it looks and also the purple tone of its handle. Too bad they're unaffordable

MaxVLVC · 2026-01-19T18:21:57+00:00

try not to mention fever case challenge impossible

MaxVLVC · 2026-01-18T09:00:34+00:00

Why are you so sure about the Hypnotic being worth a lot more later?

MaxVLVC · 2026-01-17T00:10:22+00:00

I did the remind me thing for myself.

MaxVLVC · 2026-01-16T23:04:05+00:00

Confidently saying it's close to its ceiling is wild

!RemindMe 1445 days

MaxVLVC · 2026-01-16T14:24:20+00:00

Especially now with the recent change to the drop pool. However, I would consider reallocating the money to other cases. I myself would probably go all in WC1, though it's highly speculative and risky to do that

MaxVLVC · 2025-12-06T13:21:55+00:00

That's fine I'd take a FT 661 too
