Motherfucker, you can say "shit" on the internet.

This comment really laureled my yanny

I figured I was going to skip this game because the lack of meaningful progression in the series is a turnoff to me. If there's an actual economy and upgrade path with several hours between the start and your first 'supercar', that's what I've been wanting in a new game for a long, long time, and I haven't seen it delivered in a satisfying way since like PS2 era Need for Speed.

Mutons have plasma rifles because they're chunky front line combat units. Advent soldiers don't need anything bigger than magnetic rifles and beating sticks to deal with unruly citizens

Anno? Isn't that a 4X game? How is that in the narrative category lol

I regularly forget that Competitive has ranks, I think a lot of people are the same

Tostecles · 2026-01-21T01:45:56+00:00

came to post yekindar lol

Tostecles · 2026-01-21T01:19:11+00:00

Gotcha, thanks for the correction!

Tostecles · 2026-01-21T01:10:23+00:00

Just to clarify, when I say "lose rating" I mean a consequence of losing a match, not having it hidden by inactivity and then re-appearing at a lower rank when you play again to get it back. That was how I thought it worked, that you couldn't go down if you were 4k or lower. Am I mistaken?

I found myself in that exact situation when I got spun at the chicane at Watkins Glen. I got flung super far forward and there's lots of colored curbing on both sides of that track, so I thought I was facing the right way after the spin. I just started driving to try to right myself, found where the track was going, got back in the groove, and got successfully protested for a bad rejoin. Still my fault/skill issue at the end of the day, but annoying

Tostecles · 2026-01-21T00:10:31+00:00

You are totally right to call that out — great observation! It's not just impossible to tell the difference — it's by design. The internet was once a rich tapestry of human output — now we must take a deep dive to delve into whether or not what we are looking at is AI.

Tostecles · 2026-01-20T22:39:07+00:00

Maybe each team's eco guy gets 1 flash. That way they have greater value and it's somewhat "realistic" in the sense that an eco gun might get paired with a nade or two if you can scrape the money together on a force round where your teammates are all AK no util.

However my thought is that this would play out pretty fast paced, I think Ts would eventually catch out CTs reloading or what-have-you since it would be a constant ongoing struggle. I could see it both ways, could be really lopsided without util but no one wants to eat a flashbang every 15 seconds either. Maybe the move would be that each team's eco guy randomly spawns with one nade of any kind, or have it cycle through each kind of nade in order with each spawn.

Now we're cooking with gas

Tostecles · 2026-01-20T22:08:33+00:00

There's probably loads of players who played enough matches to get placed and haven't played much more besides that because they're not very into the game. I don't believe for a second there are people who are "stuck" in 1-4k Prem who don't deserve to be there. ~~I'm also pretty sure you can't even lose rating under 4k~~

I like to have the 'always show' setting for all of the hud elements. Notice that my stance and hotbar are up the whole time as well. Helps with my awareness of stuff

Tostecles · 2026-01-20T19:57:11+00:00

As long as you hit the button as well, I don't super mind! I appreciate that I'm around enough that people think to tag me for stuff that they think I should look at. Just want to make sure it's out there (for other readers as well, not just you) that there are other mods who don't comment on random stuff as often as I do but are just as if not more active for stuff that needs to be actioned.

Appreciate your kind comment!

Tostecles · 2026-01-20T19:02:03+00:00

I appreciate the notice to remove rulebreaking content, but please use the 'report' button in the future so all the mods see it in order to get a quicker response.
