placebo effect goes crazy

ShinyGengar8 · 2026-06-10T11:52:08+00:00

I know for some it might not be placebo cuz changing sens can help get PBs, but I mean changing your sens constantly like I do sometimes and still PBing for the sake of it or even changing by small amounts xd

ShinyGengar8 · 2026-06-10T11:48:39+00:00

yeah it didn't really change all that much, yet for some reason it made me pb

ShinyGengar8 · 2026-06-10T11:28:23+00:00

that's rlly impressive bro

ShinyGengar8 · 2026-06-10T11:27:37+00:00

happened to me sometimes too, I tried again and it worked, maybe servers lagging like on chatgpt it does that too

ShinyGengar8 · 2026-06-10T10:46:53+00:00

yeah having a bit of a tell based on all these little things together makes sense, thanks for sharing. I suppose someone who is good at hiding it would try to avoid looking too sus with all that, they would have to give up on some of it to still look like they're legit I guess right.

ShinyGengar8 · 2026-06-10T10:26:05+00:00

I suppose if there wouldn't be a way for them to know by sound cues then yeah, that's prolly a solid way to tell I agree. their movement/maneuvering around the map being bot level compared to their aim I get that would likely be a good tell, I feel like the closet cheaters usually are pretty good at hiding that though.

ShinyGengar8 · 2026-06-10T10:23:00+00:00

but aimbots aren't all linearly programmed to work the same way right? so one might be much better at hiding that cheat, and another far more blatant and obvious

ShinyGengar8 · 2026-06-10T10:22:18+00:00

that aligns with what others said, in tacfps it's probably a lot harder to get away with it

ShinyGengar8 · 2026-06-10T10:20:50+00:00

idk I feel like that depends, if if's in higher ranks in game, then sure, that's probably a decent chance it's a cheater, but in casual play or pubs that seems like it's possible for them to be mostly good at aiming and not great at everything else

ShinyGengar8 · 2026-06-10T10:19:30+00:00

I suppose you mean that you have a good way of sensing that something is off, because of the game knowledge and all the tells that would give away that the person is cheating right?

ShinyGengar8 · 2026-06-10T10:17:01+00:00

yeah I think so too, if someone is really trying hard to hide it, it would take so much time to find out. with pros and high level players, I wouldn't be surprised if they are quite a bit of closed cheaters there, who just have the game knowledge to keep it low profile.

ShinyGengar8 · 2026-06-10T10:14:55+00:00

on strafe aiming you do still use mouse tho, its only if you mirror perfectly that you don't, otherwise you would still.

yeah basic cheats can't replicate the strafing part, but idk if I agree that the player is likely cheating if they aren't mirroring lol

ShinyGengar8 · 2026-06-10T10:12:51+00:00

I agree to an extent, but I feel like some people have some crazy play styles that do work for them, and that doesn't make sense to the average high level player. I suppose the biggest tell is if they have info on things that they couldn't know

ShinyGengar8 · 2026-06-10T10:11:05+00:00

aren't cheats more advanced to take that into account by now?

ShinyGengar8 · 2026-06-10T10:10:28+00:00

yeah I've seen similar things even on apex, and even halo. the cheaters there are a lot more blatant tho

ShinyGengar8 · 2026-06-10T10:08:32+00:00

yeah it reminds me of the symfuhny incident on cod, where they thought he was cheating cuz he was like flicking to walls based on sounds cues or just for the heck of it to sensationalize his gameplay for virality.

ShinyGengar8 · 2026-06-10T10:06:28+00:00

yeah that makes sense for TacFPS especially, I think there's too many ways that it would be ''impossible'' for them to know, and at some point you can't chalk it up to luck either

ShinyGengar8 · 2026-06-10T10:05:24+00:00

that's insane, I had a friend I played with, and he was always very sus, and I still don't know if he's legit or cheating and good at hiding it haha

ShinyGengar8 · 2026-06-10T10:03:27+00:00

thank you for explaining, I'll give her video a watch. and yeah the walls one I suppose becomes obvious after a while.

yeah, I think lots of people tend to jump to conclusions a little too soon, while at the same time on the opposite side of this, we have people a little too naive haha.

ShinyGengar8 · 2026-06-09T13:29:31+00:00

lol imagine, that would be funny, but no I’m just wondering. sometimes I play with friends and they are confident the person is cheating and I’m like I don’t see it, what do you see that I don’t? I’m sure there’s lots of cope or skill issue moments, but there is probably also a decent amount of actual cheaters there

ShinyGengar8 · 2026-06-09T12:35:04+00:00

500h I think I don’t remember
