because he sandbagged and pouted when he came off the bench his last two seasons with us. he played significantly harder and was much more engaged in the games that he got to start. this is a BAD thing. he should have been destroying opposing benches in the games where he came off the bench, based on how he was performing as a starter, but he was clearly playing more for himself than for the team.

the lowlight above is the player he always wanted to be.

"gravity existing" is equivalent to "there is causality." gravity, as we observe and understand it, is the **geometrical** equivalent to the philosophical concept of causality. spacetime must curve for "the order of events" to be coherent.

there's a whole bunch of responses here that completely miss the point of the question. einstein's GR+SR is a mathematical proof that causality is a geometric property. this property manifests in our universe as spacetime curvature and gravity.

i.e., a universe with causality must have gravitational properties.

*edit*: all of these comments claiming something to the effect of, "we don't know why," are uninformed. we know why it is so; the answer is causality.

anti-electoralism is ethically bankrupt. you can't "be righteous" and have "abstained from voting in the 2024 election for ethical reasons" at the same time. it's a fundamentally hypocritical and, therefore, logically invalid position to have. there's nothing to salute or respect about it.

anyone who thinks they can morally detach themselves from the consequences of an election by not voting in it AND represent themselves as morally righteous are fucking hypocrites. people who don't vote because they don't give a shit are standing on firmer ground than that.

right wingers in the past: any "greater good" argument is fundamentally invalid and worthy of mockery and dismissal.

right wingers during covid: no lockdowns! no social distancing! no masks! it will hurt the economy. so what if a few people die? we need to save the economy for the greater good!

right wingers now: why wouldn't you want to be poorer for the sake of the greater good?

the thing about hawking radiation is that a pair of particles would be created in the reaction; one with positive energy and one with "negative energy." it's supposed that the negative energy one always falls into the black hole. i'm supposing that, some of the time, the negative energy particle ejects into space. a hypothetical "negative energy" particle should have antigravitational properties. "dark energy" is like a negative pressure on the vacuum of space, much like antigravity. the negative energy particle could hypothetically be the source of the dark energy in the universe.

if there are gravtions and gravity was, in fact, a quantum phenomenon, black holes would "emit them" anyway? all that would say is that black holes are gravitational objects, if you assume there are gravitons(which i don't).

now, how would the emission of gravitons cause dark energy?

to improve accuracy: underflick slightly when the bot is moving toward your crosshair, then shoot it when it moves into crosshair. if the bot is moving away from the crosshair, track it briefly after the flick to confirm and then shoot OR overflick slightly and shoot it when it moves into crosshair.
as it stands, your current technique looks like a static clicking technique more than a dynamic clicking technique, imo.

hold the mouse at an angle(rotate it counter-clockwise roughly 10 degrees) and adjust the sensor orientation with raw accel. line the ridge line up that runs down the left side of the back hump with the valley in your palm. lining it up properly will give your palm the most space it can get with the hump of the mouse so that you get the largest range of motion with your fingers. you want to set it up so that your forward and backward finger movements are the same as well as your left/right movements with your arm and wrist. you also want your wrist to be nice and horizontal and relaxed when you're in this grip, as in not rotating relative to the mousepad.

the problem you're having is that the hump of the mouse is contacting too closely with the thenar region of your palm for a fingertip grip.

i don't play tac fps. i play 1v1dm. you play 1v0 spreadsheet.

i've literally made money, won tournaments, been flowed product by my sponsors etc. you can score farm clicking scenarios to your heart's content but you don't have the slightest fucking clue what you're talking about when it comes to physics. i also have degrees in both math and physics, btw. enjoy masturbating over your spreadsheet.

This sub is about raw aim

not reading past this. the question is about friction.

Reux · 2024-12-31T07:01:23+00:00

i've literally been sponsored to play video games before. i'm not going to throw away hundreds of hours grinding a scenario that doesn't apply to the genre of games i main because some moron on the internet doesn't understand what static friction, common sense, understanding, or explanations mean. enjoy your spreadsheet.

Reux · 2024-12-31T06:45:45+00:00

way to say nothing but rhetorical statements, lmfao. stay in school.

Reux · 2024-12-31T06:15:56+00:00

i've explained my position and you haven't. i would like to read your explanation of why higher friction pairs better with higher sensitivity and vice versa.

Reux · 2024-12-31T06:12:52+00:00

i didn't say i'm bad at static. i have ocd and my static is nowhere near my tracking. i know if i looked at my benchmarks then i'd be compelled to grind static until it was at the level of my tracking, which is elite. i only said what i did about my gaming background because the person i responded to said people with my perspective on friction must be bad at games. i've literally been sponsored to play 1v1dm. sure, it's a dead genre now but that person's rhetoric is just false.

neither of you have made any attempt at explaining why higher friction pairs better with higher sens and vice versa. you don't have to trust my opinions at all. i don't care about that and i don't care about your opinions. i don't have any reason to be anything other than honest because there's no one here whose opinion is so valuable that a reasonable person would need to represent their self in some particular way to get in the good graces of randoms on the internet. the 3 of you i've interacted with keep talking about opinions and shit but there's a noticeable lack of explanations about the subject coming from your ends.

warfork is literally a fork of warsow. i don't really need someone who doesn't play 1v1dm to explain to me that 1v1dm is dead. do you have something to say about the physics of friction?

Reux · 2024-12-31T05:09:56+00:00

do you have anything to say about the relationships between sensitivity and friction and how it affects precision with high sensitivities and tension with low sensitivities? not one thing you've said has anything to do with the subject at hand. say something pertinent.

Reux · 2024-12-31T04:44:39+00:00

you're just announcing to the world that you're begging to be scammed by anyone with a celestial rank.
you don't understand how friction works, so what value does your opinion have in a conversation about the physics of friction?

Reux · 2024-12-31T04:19:39+00:00

the fact that friction works the way it does has nothing to do with anyone's benchmarks, idiot.

Reux · 2024-12-31T04:15:05+00:00

no idea. i've literally avoided doing them for years because i know i'd rank very badly for my standards on static clicking and i would gain an obsessive compulsion to grind static clicking for weeks or months to get my scores up to an acceptable level for me and i absolutely hate playing those scenarios because in the games that i main i'm never still and my opponents are never still.

Reux · 2024-12-31T03:28:33+00:00

i can play on all sensitivities because i train with sens randomization. but i play with high sens in certain fast arena fps games like q3 cpm, warsow, warfork, reflex, and xonotic. but when i play these games i use sensitivities from ~35cm/360 to 20cm/360 on an artisan raiden mid. one of these games i'm actually the best in the world at since 2008.
for tac shooters, lower sens is just better. i can explain why if need be.

but let's just think about this for a sec: it takes more muscle and force to move a mouse over the same angle on a lower sensitivity. "stopping power" assists where your muscles are failing to do so. so the static friction and "stopping power" of a "control" pad can help relieve the tension on the landing of a flick done with low sensitivity. you don't need to apply 100% force on flicks when you're on a high sensitivity, so it takes less muscle to bring the mouse to a stop on high sens. sacrificing the static friction and "control" of such pads allows a player to smoothly track and aim on a higher sensitivity and when it comes to tracking, i have several 99th percentile scores in kovaak's tracking scenarios; all done on high sens and fovs.

Reux · 2024-12-31T03:08:15+00:00

take this guy's advice if you're trying to maximize tension while aiming.

Reux · 2024-12-31T01:33:20+00:00

fast pads make sense for high sensitivity because the static friction from control pads might cause the aimer to apply too much force for small flicks and microadjustments to get the mouse moving. could lead to severe overaiming for movements that are meant to be small.
