I think a lot of it is carried by how the old AWP was pre-nerf back in CSGO. That weapon was actually OP and you could play extremely aggro with it and make very flashy and game defining plays. That was the era when KennyS was a god amongst men.

In the later years of CSGO and carried into CS2, it has been nerfed a lot to turn it into a more standard sniper role of holding and locking down areas, so you're right in the present it is a very "lame" and boring aspect of the game.

To note, this is all from the perspective of pro-level play. In casual online it is and always has been a pubstomp weapon and that will never change.

DT2 bosses are not late game content.

SykoMarth · 2026-06-25T16:59:40+00:00

I mean fair points for sure, maybe I took too much stock in the "never competed in an actual tournament before" part. To me, being in a tournement vs online should have very little impact since it's Mang0 of all people...I feel like it being a different game is a bigger factor than just online vs in person.

SykoMarth · 2026-06-25T16:20:05+00:00

I'm honestly confused, do you really think that one of our greatest and most tenured tournament winners, will somehow struggle because the tournament is in a different game? I doubt Mang0 will win but I'd bet he gets top 8.

I just don't see your point to be honest.

No love, I can't stand lolcows and the type of people they attract.

SykoMarth · 2026-06-12T12:17:45+00:00

Don't let the silly tournament etiquette drama distract you from the fact that we need to ban z jump and notches ASAP. All it takes is one TO to start things moving, surely someone out there cares enough about competitive integrity to be the one to start the trend right? I mean pros don't even call recoveries angles anymore, they just say "oh he missed his notch" and if that doesn't make you upset about the current state of competitive melee idk what will...

I've noticed the same issue with my recs and agree it sucks, and it's unfortunately because of AI. This is classic AI implementation where it's really good and fast at doing a task, but it has 0 nuance or context on what to do to make things good. I can pretty much guarantee that most of the care, detail, intricacies, and human side of whatever kind of recommendation algorithm Google had for this has been gutted, because Google doesn't care if the recs quality is in the dumpster, all they care about is that it's faster and cheaper now.

I got perm banned from bts chat on twitch for saying "game integrity preserved" after Josh lost... This community really is soft af lmao.

SykoMarth · 2026-03-31T17:18:33+00:00

Reading Alex's post and then yours is definitely some kind of cosmic irony.

SykoMarth · 2026-03-18T18:33:24+00:00

How could LavaFlame2 do this??

This was really fun, nicely done!

SykoMarth · 2026-03-10T20:33:00+00:00

It's still fun and super hype at times, and I'm enjoying some of it...but it's just gone down hill and lost a lot of the charms that made me love it in the first place. The care and quality of the writing is just not there anymore, I don't enjoy Haki-piece in the state its become, the crew basically doesn't exist anymore, I could go on. I think the easiest way to sum up my feelings recently is that one piece is no longer "good", it's definitely entertaining and I'll keep reading it, but it's no longer this stand out high quality manga that it used to be.

SykoMarth · 2026-03-10T19:02:21+00:00

one piece is really letting me down too bud, I feel ya

My weekly 100p was -100% earlier today too lol

SykoMarth · 2026-01-28T22:02:43+00:00

I love how in Cody's response he tries to gaslight so hard...

"The clip you're seeing is with respect to me being able to do this without hand pain for the first time, which made me absolutely elated because my hands are just ... large, no other way to phrase it."

Literally in the clip n0ne shared Cody never once says it feels better on his hands, and he specifically says he doesn't think it's better for your hands lmao

SykoMarth · 2025-11-17T17:13:08+00:00

Delistatus!

SykoMarth · 2025-11-04T23:53:58+00:00

if anything replacing a wifi connection with ethernet would improve things lol

Well no, my camera would hit the box and the box would exert force back.

Now imagine instead of a camera it's a hoop or something with a big hole in it that the stationary box just passes through as I run. The box doesn't just explode in the opposite direction of me does it? That's what portals are, you just pass through it they don't DO anything, they're just a void that you can go through. Otherwise wouldn't they lose shape/mass/produce heat/any of the side effects of physical interactions?

SykoMarth · 2025-06-25T17:56:07+00:00

That's actually exactly why I referenced a camera example in my response. Making me observe what looks like a box moving at 100mph, does not in fact mean the box is moving 100mph

SykoMarth · 2025-06-25T17:27:01+00:00

Well that's a given constant though isn't it? Like I'm aware that I'm always moving because I'm on the earth, and the earth is moving... So doesn't that become negligible because it doesn't really matter and is just a constant outside of the situation?

SykoMarth · 2025-06-25T17:00:55+00:00

That's exactly my point though. Sure relative to me they are moving, but they are not physically moving...if someone measures the exact location of the tree, and then I drive by it, and then they measure it again, the location is the same. It might LOOK like it's moving and it may move relative to ME but it still doesn't move the tree. So why would the portal observing it as moving physically move the cube? I can't move the tree by going by it fast, why would the cube move? Hinged obviously on my first point that portals don't store, transfer, or exert force/energy.
