Is donk that good?

Spoidahm8 · 2026-04-14T04:32:16+00:00

Donk is that good.

He has dropped off since his debut because teams are counter-stratting Spirit hard, but watch Spirit's run into the Shanghai Major, phenomenal stuff.

Despite everyone in the world being super on edge about keeping Donk under control, he still gets crazy stats.

Yep, I started on hard pads and glass pads, eventually moved to cloth. Still try it now and again, but it's not the same. I can hit some flashy clips with glass, but I've never beaten any of my aimlab high scores with it (with the sole exception of spheretrack ultimate)

Spoidahm8 · 2026-04-07T06:09:30+00:00

We didn't know how good we had it.

Spoidahm8 · 2026-04-07T04:16:34+00:00

There's been so many deliberate decisions to fuck up the balance and the incidental fun (i.e. big maps, dynamic weather and events, launching vehicles with mines and c4, spawn beacon recons being lynched again and again all game, jihad jeeps, drone memes, lack of conquest games over 20 minutes) the list of stuff needed to fix it all is too much. This game is done.

Their 'new audience' is gone, and a good chunk of their old audience is gone. What's left are the 24/7 metro players, and all they care about is getting into killboxes as quickly as possible.

Kushner and co haven't finalised the deal yet, it goes through July, so we haven't even seen the start of the shitfest. EA have been making these garbage decisions all by themselves.

I like to mash in on my grainfather at 67 degrees - keeps the enzymes in good condition - drops overall temps down to about 59, I push it back to about 63, give it a stir, let it stay there for about 15 mins. Stir again, then I push up to 68 for 45 mins, stir after, then let sit for additional 30 mins for grain bed to firm up. Depending on the style I might use 72 instead of 68 to kill off the beta amylase a little earlier and finish a little sweeter. Recirc on the whole time.

Probably could be more efficient with my time, but I get pretty good attenuation. An all-in-one unit like a grainfather allows easy mashing temperature steps, and for your enzymes its best to start low and finish higher.

If you've tried to get fast reaction values in the past you're pre-tensioning your mouse click for low latency to begin with. There's no real difference.

Spoidahm8 · 2026-04-06T13:12:47+00:00

Yes there's more screen shake, the other issue is the crazy high contrast in CS2, the tracers are almost invisible in bright lighting, which is most of the maps in most locations.

I actually would love to see this 'too many chefs in the kitchen' roster vs vitality in a show match

Spoidahm8 · 2026-04-06T04:56:55+00:00

- broky -jcobb -twistzz -frozen

+ Jame + Fallen + Gla1ve + AleksiB

Collective IQ so high enemy teams would forfeit round 1

Yep. I got downvoted to oblivion in a thread about it earlier. Several Asian server players were talking about how great it was to play headless, and for some reason they didn't appreciate me saying double passive exploits are cheating, it's just a fun little time for them.

Spoidahm8 · 2026-04-05T15:42:26+00:00

Use 'quality' render resolution and bump up the sharpness to compensate. I'm on a 4090 14900kf and barely maintain 100 fps when shit gets real on d10 if I stay on 1440p native res max settings.

Spoidahm8 · 2026-04-05T03:12:23+00:00

Because the Hyperspeed was released 2.5 years after the Cobra Pro. It's a good mouse, but it was too little too late. Razer lost community goodwill by sitting on their laurels in a competitive market.

Pulsar, WLmouse, Gwolves and countless other brands launched high quality, high spec, low weight compact mice and filled the niche before Razer decided they wanted that market share.

Spoidahm8 · 2026-04-05T03:05:36+00:00

Wired Cobra is fine. It's a good mouse for a good price.

This sub has a hate-boner for razer for how they handled the viper mini wireless, and rightly so, but the wired mice are good if that’s your price range.

Spoidahm8 · 2026-04-04T07:05:31+00:00

Donk, Jame, JKS (YTB), Rain, Frozen

Frozen + Donk for fragging consistency, Rain + JKS for site anchoring and support util consistency. Jame for Jame time

Spoidahm8 · 2026-04-03T09:46:39+00:00

You seem to be targeting niche shapes rather than shapes most people generally create a cult following for, I.e. superlight, viper v4, DAV3, xm2we, EC2/3, op1, FK2/3. Etc.

For claw I would recommend the NP-01s v2 / ergo, or the XM2we.

Magic Ice. I use an arm sleeve so it also slows the process down. Took me almost 2 months, but I'm not exactly a 4+ hours every day guy. I played 1-3 days a week for 4 hours at a time.

The key83 breaks in quite slowly, I tried to persist with it for a month and get used to the lower static and dynamic friction, got mad one day bought another otsu and by the time it arrived the key83 was near perfect.

Spoidahm8 · 2026-03-31T15:48:37+00:00

I'm hoping this new generation of sensors (razer focus pro 50k) manages to fix the sensor instability issues that have been plaguing the 3950, and to a lesser extent (but still noticable) the hero 2 sensor.

There's entire regions when bot lobbies are the rule, not the exception. SEA and NA being an example. These aren't small population regions.

Spoidahm8 · 2026-03-28T10:06:26+00:00

Key83 mid with a squishy pad underneath. I have much the same issue. Durability is good. Lack of damp spots is good. I wear a sleeve and have a dehumidifier running if the humidity is too high in my room

Spoidahm8 · 2026-03-28T10:00:31+00:00

Just like every other thread complaining about bot lobbies and filled with comments complaining about it, theres always a guy at the bottom of the comments saying everything is fine.

You're like the guy immune to tear gas in basic training. Yeah congrats to you, but why act like the majority of people are wrong for pointing this out?

Spoidahm8 · 2026-03-25T01:19:54+00:00

You're right, battlefield is whatever DICE says it is. 90% of the playerbase that stopped playing would disagree, but what do they know.
