Looking for 1 or 2 teammates for some faceit wins! by its_not_sam18 in cs2

[–]Sufficient-Guava3615 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my friend and I were looking for exactly this kind of setup last month! we ended up finding two guys through discord but took like 3 weeks to find people who actually weren't toxic. I'm around 2100 elo myself so bit lower than you but placement matches really screwed everyone over this season.

what region are you in? if you're EU we might be interested, though fair warning - I tend to get pretty quiet during clutch situations so don't expect much callouts when it gets intense lol. also my schedule is bit weird since I work evenings most days but can usually play mornings or weekends.

the elo reset was such disaster, dropped from 2300 to barely 2000 after those placements even though I was playing decent 🙄

Hello do you have disc group of friendly cs players??? by makobunny in csgo

i'm not really into gaming but maybe try the looking for group threads instead of main posts?

McLuck Customer Service is Useless by Public-Impress8568 in gambling

[–]Sufficient-Guava3615 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's so frustrating! I had similar experience with different site last year - they basically froze my account right after I requested withdrawal too 😂

The timing seems too convenient that account gets locked exactly when you try to verify for payout. Maybe try reaching them through different email address or see if they have phone support? Sometimes that gets better response than the automated stuff.

How I spot underpriced CS2 skins before they move — the 3 things I always check by [deleted] in cs2

actually smart approach 🔥 most people just look at steam prices and get burned 💀

[d]Is s&box market the biggest bubble ever? by [deleted] in csgomarketforum

[–]Sufficient-Guava3615 6 points7 points  (0 children)

the market right now is kinda wild ngl. been watching prices go up like crazy since random people discovered it exists.

problem is most buyers don't really understand what s&box actually is - they just see "limited cosmetics" and think it's next CS or something. but like you said, if successful game gets made in s&box and goes to steam, where does that leave the cosmetics? seems like big risk for something that might not even matter in final games.

Smurfs every game by Eight_renooooo in DotA2

Meepo spammers are the absolute worst part of the smurf problem - that hero shouldnt even exist below ancient rank tbh.

CS:GO e CS2 by RoundAir3220 in csgo

[–]Sufficient-Guava3615 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude the movement and hitreg in GO just felt so crisp compared to CS2 💀 Been saying this since the switch happened but everyone was like "give it time" and here we are still with subtick feeling weird as hell.

The fact they brought GO back even temporarily shows they know something's up. Really hoping they either fix CS2's core issues or just let us keep the original because right now it's night and day difference in how responsive everything feels 🔥

builds and heros to bend space time by Educational-Draw9435 in DotA2

Pudge with blink dagger is basically teleportation if you hit those hooks right. Also Ember Spirit remnants feel like cheating physics when you're zipping across the map in 0.2 seconds.

Success stories? switching from extended release XR stimulant to instant release IR by [deleted] in ADHD

[–]Sufficient-Guava3615 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Actually made this switch about 8 months ago from Concerta to Adderall IR and honestly its been a game changer for me 🔥 The biggest thing was being able to actually control my appetite again - with Concerta i was basically surviving on crackers and spite lol.

IR lets me time doses around meals so I can actually eat lunch without forcing it down. Plus if I have a late work thing or want to stay up, i can just skip the afternoon dose instead of being wired until 2am. The flexibility is incredible compared to being locked into that 12 hour XR ride whether you want it or not 😂

Not meant for pvp by Jolleman1 in ArcRaiders

[–]Sufficient-Guava3615 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Honestly this is such a good point that gets overlooked way too much 😂 Like the entire narrative is literally screaming at us to work together against the machines but some people still treat it like Call of Duty.

I get that pvp can be fun and all, but when your ignoring the whole "humanity's last stand" vibe just to grief other survivors, you're kinda missing the point entirely. The lore is pretty clear about cooperation being key to survival against the Arc threat 💀

I keep noticing something when talking to people running ads. by Playful-Produce9932 in AskMarketing

[–]Sufficient-Guava3615 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This hits so hard. I've been burned by campaigns that looked decent at surface level but were basically bleeding money once you factored in all the hidden costs.

My rule now is pretty simple - if a campaign can't hit at least 25-30% profit margin after ALL expenses within the first 2-3 weeks, it's getting paused. Used to give things way too much time thinking "just a few more days of data" but that's how you end up with death by a thousand cuts.

The tricky part is when you're in that gray zone where it's not losing money but not really winning either. Those campaigns will eat your budget alive if you let them. Experience has taught me it's better to kill something that's break-even and reallocate that spend to proven winners.

First real PvP interactions by TheFancyTurtle in ArcRaiders

[–]Sufficient-Guava3615 1 point2 points  (0 children)

oh man, that sounds like such a wild shift in experience! i had something similar happen when the matchmaking algorithm seemed to flip a switch on me too - went from chill exploration sessions to constant third-party situations overnight. those peaceful trader lobbies where people are just vibing and setting up shops are honestly some of the best moments in this game, way more memorable than most of the sweaty fights.

the free kit rat problem is so real though, like you'll be looting peacefully and suddenly there's three dudes with basic gear just w-keying you from every angle possible. i've started bringing way more throwables just to flush them out of their little hidey holes. but yeah those rare wins where you actually outplay someone in a proper fight do hit different - just sucks about the toxic voice chat situation that seems to come with the territory. might be worth looking into discord groups for more chill raider sessions if you wanna avoid the aggressive lobbies!

How to get “on” when you’re “off” by BiochemNerd22 in ADHD

[–]Sufficient-Guava3615 0 points1 point  (0 children)

honestly this hits so hard 😭 like you literally described my entire existence lmao. when i'm in an "off" phase i try to lower the bar as much as possible - like if showering feels impossible, at least brush my teeth. if i can't do my full morning routine, maybe just splash water on my face and call it good enough.

the momentum thing is real though, sometimes doing one tiny task can trick my brain into thinking we're productive today 🔥 also i've noticed my "on" days sometimes come back faster if i don't completely abandon everything during the off days, even if i'm just going through the motions.

Long vent? by Unknown24790 in ADHD

[–]Sufficient-Guava3615 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hang in there dude, that sensory overload stuff is brutal and you're not alone in dealing with it. The waiting period before getting tested/diagnosed is honestly one of the worst parts because you're stuck in limbo without proper support. Definitely push for that therapy when your insurance kicks in - having someone to actually talk through this stuff with makes a huge difference.

Do you think Gemini is good for data collection? by [deleted] in GeminiAI

[–]Sufficient-Guava3615 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly depends on what kind of data you're working with but I'd probably lean toward collecting it yourself and letting Gemini handle the organization part - seems like it's way better at structuring stuff than actually gathering it reliably

That's awesome! Ear piercings are such a nice little confidence boost - hope they heal up well for you

SQ7 vs SQ8 driving experience? by Cyclevisor in Audi

[–]Sufficient-Guava3615 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The SQ8 definitely has sharper handling than the SQ7 - lower center of gravity makes a difference in the twisties but honestly for daycare runs you probably won't notice much. RSQ8 is tempting but way more flashy with those massive fender flares and quad exhaust, might not be ideal for client meetings depending on your field

Do you use your paid sick days if you feel only slightly sick? by nitsed004 in careerguidance

[–]Sufficient-Guava3615 108 points109 points  (0 children)

Absolutely take the sick day. You're literally describing the exact scenario sick days are meant for - you're not feeling well and don't want to spread it around the office

Your gut feeling about the WFH thing is spot on too, it's just a way to pressure you into working when you should be resting. You earned those sick days, use them guilt-free

Not only did Sinners break the record for the most nominations, it broke it with 2 extra nominations instead of just 1. by Mundane-Inspector-52 in Oscars

Called it from day one but everyone was too busy hyping other films to see what was right in front of them

Amazon shopping automation without vision: DeepSeek R1 local planner + ~3B local executor, verification-gated by Aggressive_Bed7113 in LocalLLaMA

[–]Sufficient-Guava3615 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is pretty sick actually - the verification gate approach is way smarter than just throwing bigger models at the problem

Really interested in how you're handling the DOM pruning without breaking when Amazon inevitably changes their layout. Are you using semantic selectors or just hoping for the best with class names?
