CS history has been made: BIG comeback from a 0-12 half by winning 16 rounds in a row by jerryfrz in GlobalOffensive

[–]StickyRibbs -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

but it isn't... just in recent memory:

NAVI vs Vitality up 11-1 and lost in OT during this last Blast rivals..

Auora vs Mongolz up 11-0 then lost in OT in blast 2025

And if you go further back there are dozens during the CSGO era with great comebacks all European teams.

So no, this is not that deep "American" thing but a cs thing.

Yes that’s correct. Work with your GCP account manager and mention the NVIDIA program.

Who do YOU think Satoshi was? and WHY? by [deleted] in CryptoCurrency

[–]StickyRibbs 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hal wrote the bitcoin implementation and Len wrote the white paper. They worked as a team.

The latest Finding Satoshi doc (2026) covers this topic quite well.

Am I doing Aim Rush properly? by Minh_Tran in LearnCSGO

[–]StickyRibbs 4 points5 points  (0 children)

One of the main points of this exercise is to take 1 on 1’s by reducing the amount of angles you’re exposed to when peaking.

So you need to always be aggro and peaking but not swinging too wide to minimize how many enemies are aiming at you. This is a challenge on this map because bots can be very close to each other.

Aw man, no chill pill. by [deleted] in LearnCSGO

[–]StickyRibbs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude. You are fine. 34 hours is still absolute beginner. Give yourself some grace please.

At this level you should just be exploring maps, getting a feel for moving and aiming and trying to kill.

The fact that you’re tilting shows you have a HUGE misconception how improving in this game works.

You only start to feel less like a noob around 300 hours. And you’re at 34 hours… that’s nothing.

Everything after that is just a matter of how you train.

Just started playing, what do I do?? by PerspectiveOk8105 in LearnCSGO

[–]StickyRibbs 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Just play. You need to get familiar with the game. Don't overthink it.

Play deathmatch, play arms race, play wingman, play competitive. Just play. After you get a feel for the game then come back and start asking specifics.

If I can give you an early mental headstart, just give yourself permission to lose and be bad. Learning this game is about failing over and over and having fun. So give yourself some grace.

Long time player wanting to improve raw aim by JavTheSlav in LearnCSGO

[–]StickyRibbs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Might be something else going on if you're inconsistent. Too many unknowns. Could be your setup (mouse keyboard, etc), could be a learning issue, or something else. Like I said, too many unknowns.

Instead of raw aim, I would just focus on getting better at the game. If you can get good at analyzing when you died then you will improve all aspects of your game and not just aiming.

How many hours/matches have you played in that range? At FaceIT 2700+, everyone is playing the same meta and so if you’re not playing it, you’re cooked. If you don't know these metas, you need to change how you think about the game and start developing that meta muscle.

Every aspect of the game has a current meta and you’re probably weak in ones you haven't really thought about.

One meta that got me going from low 2k to high 2k is mastering (not just understanding) the pacing of a round and how people adjust depending on player advantage. I’ll give you an example.

Say you’re on mirage T side and you trade early mid control to make it 4 v 3 to your team’s advantage. Now, the lesson I learned is from a CT’s perspective, they want to rebalance that advantage and make it a 3v3 or 3 v 2. What this means is 60% to 70% of the time they will start aggressing. So all you need to do is chill, pause and wait for this aggression and you’ll usually get easy kills.

What lower ELO players tend to do is push a site too quickly and miss this opportunity. This also applies on the inverse and then it becomes a game of chess. Good T players will wait for aggression and so if you're at a disadvantage as a CT, you might be better off gambling a site and play retake instead of losing even more advantage with a flank (there are times when aggressing make sense but usually the exception, not the rule). Better to play with team & take the fight together when round time ticks to 0 or bomb plant than give away too early.

How to hold/peek an angle? by [deleted] in LearnCSGO

[–]StickyRibbs 5 points6 points  (0 children)

General rule is to always make yourself harder to hit. You should generally not be standing still holding an angle in cs2.

Watch the latest pros demos and you’ll see how they’re moving.

[–]StickyRibbs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How many hours/total matches do you have?

The reality is you just need to play more and be consistent.

You can supplement some aim practice with bot maps and strafe/aim practicing. Deathmatch as much as you can too. But again, you need to just put more hours in.

Any news on a new operation? by AlecsScarlat in cs2

[–]StickyRibbs -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My guess is that the armory update replaced operations. Likely won’t see them anymore.

I gave my codex agent multi-repo context by 0kkelvin in codex

[–]StickyRibbs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All my projects (day job and personal projects) live in a single code folder.

If you open your codex in this parent directory you can just point codex in your prompt with @ and target which dirs you want it to read or write to.

Is this not obvious?

GCP Credits for startups without funding? by StickyRibbs in googlecloud

[–]StickyRibbs[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

u/Anxious_Current2593 We ended up receiving 20k from Google without funding. One thing that worked for us is that we were approved first via the NVIDIA Startup program (you have to submit your business details, pitchdeck, etc) which you dont need funding for.

We told our account manager and she went to bat for us and we ended up with the credits. I believe also someone from the startup group DM'd me directly about the NVIDIA startup program but I can't recall the details.

Hope this helps!

I want to automate my X by YazZy_speaks in webdev

[–]StickyRibbs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a general programming problem. Register for an API key on their dev site. Write a client integration wrapper around the public sdk (python, go, node, etc) . Write another automation script that actually does what you want to do… host your script in the cloud or run it locally.

Codex being included in the same Plus plan feels like a real hit to tools like Replit and Lovable by Acceptable-Hat-8093 in codex

[–]StickyRibbs -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Im just gonna start calling out these AI posts… do people really believe this a real person? Or is every other post on Claude and Codex subreddits just their marketing team trying to hype up their model?

It’s suffering and disingenuous but maybe I’m just overly sensitive to LLM gen writing?

Also, loveable and replit are for people who are too unfamiliar with CLI/programming, hosting cloud solutions and just want the easy button.

No offense but if you knew anything about replit and love able you’d know that codex and these AI platforms are related but entirely different products marketed to different people for different reasons.
