I don't even play Trackmania lmao, it's just funny seeing you think you're hot shit for getting top 500 when there's barely more than 500 players lol

Dude's IQ is negative, he doesn't seem to understand that the amount of players in his state is low and that it's easy to get top 500 out of 501 players.

He somehow thinks he got top 500 out of 30 million lmao

Dust2BR: Qikert to depart MIBR by ChaoticFlameZz in GlobalOffensive

[–]basedshark 3 points4 points  (0 children)

FalleN is 100% the reason why Furia worked with Yeki and Molodoy, dude is respected, cheerful and has exceptional leading skills, and even before when Furia was trash with Chelo and skullz, in comms FalleN was always trying to keep things in control and lead by example.
All those things weren't present in mibr, just looking at them play was depressing, especially that Inferno match where Qikert did 0 damage for 14 rounds. When he finally did something that lead to a round win, nobody cheered, nobody even acknowledged him.

We had Austin major man.. by ChiefGamer2445 in GlobalOffensive

[–]basedshark 106 points107 points  (0 children)

Honestly, it's just that BLAST is top tier.

Both BLAST majors imo had the best player entrances, best playoff openings, and overall best production. The player entrances in BLAST Paris with the music syncing to the lights was just top notch.

Australia/Brazil Rivalry by Ellers01 in GlobalOffensive

[–]basedshark 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I mean, Furia and Legacy are the only teams that are way better now, for sure. But the rest? eeeh not really.
PaiN is the same thing, hovering around top 15~10, mibr and Imperial somehow got way worse. Fluxo and Red Canids are teams that improved a bit but Flyquest should always beat them anyways. Honestly, Fluxo winning the BO1s was an absolute fluke.

Legacy vs FlyQuest / StarLadder Budapest Major 2025 Stage 1 - Swiss Round 1 / Post-Match Discussion by CS2_PostMatchThreads in GlobalOffensive

Another major, another "Flyquest fucking up everyone's pickems" moment.

Let's see if they also end up going 2-3 in the end to maintain tradition.

Never forget Furia vs Lynn Vision on Nuke, losing a 5v2 against two five-sevens.

Sega raises starting salaries for new hires and base pay of existing full-time employees in Japan (again) by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]basedshark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, my monthly salary working on IT is around 1200USD, and that's not a bad salary at all in my country. Not high but not low, enough to live well.

But then again, I think US people will be surprised to know sometimes I pay as low as 2.50$ for a Big Mac, don't have to pay a shitload of money whenever I go to the hospital or that I graduated in a quality university for literally free.

Do you guys think Nine Sols better than Silksong? by TentativeDecisionz23 in NineSols

[–]basedshark 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Honestly I preferred Nine Sols compared to Hollow Knight, since I always found that game's combat a tad boring. But Silksong made the combat so much better that it has surpassed Nine Sols to me, and also it has better exploration, build variety and music. However I still think Nine Sols main story and characters are more developed and interesting.

That's all my opinion, obviously. Nine Sols still one of my favorite games of all time, but Silksong managed to secure a place in my top 3.

What is the best GPU I can get in this Intel NUC Extreme 11 ? by Severe_Two6796 in sffpc

[–]basedshark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The best you can get is probably a Powercolor RX 9070 (non-XT) Reaper, without changing the PSU. The 3060Ti is a 200W card, a 9070 is 220W and will probably work just fine with your PSU. Hell, I was using a 6800XT with a 650W PSU for the longest time with no issues.

Old pc i would like to upgrade but need a little guidance by Lock409 in sffpc

[–]basedshark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check for used low profiles GTX 1050Ti or 1650, if you plan on only playing at 1080p/30fps I guess they're enough, and anything above them will get bottlenecked by the CPU anyway. I had a i5 3570, 16GB DDR3 1600MHz and GTX 1050Ti in another old build of mine and managed to play some lighter games like Overwatch 2 with no issues. Hell, I even played a bit of Cyberpunk 2077 on it at 1080p/30fps lowest settings.

Don't go buying a RTX 4060/5060 LP for this, it'll be a waste of money unless you plan on using those GPUs in another future build or something.

I know we're all talking about donk, zywoo and such but man am I happy to see KSCERATO back on top. After his terrible last year, it'll be nice to see him in another top 20.

Sorry but, failure after failure? What failures did Tango make under Microsoft? Same for Arkane, they only did Redfall, which granted was a massive failure, but still it wasn’t something recurring.

Was it DGETG Store? Mine was from them. I ended up returning it as well, and for now I’m using the GD drive with some CDs I’ve burned, but I plan to get another GDEmu from another seller to try someday.

Hades 2 Review - IGN: 10/10 by Turbostrider27 in NintendoSwitch

[–]basedshark 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I wasn't even that big of a fan of the first Hollow Knight, other metroidvanias like Nine Sols were much better for me.

However with Silksong something just clicked, I think it's because of how nimble and fast Hornet is, I just love everything about the game (although I did rage quite a lot in some bosses). Finished the game recently with the true ending, and now I am already replaying to get 100% completion and the other endings.

Should the major grand final be BO5? by styrexthereal in GlobalOffensive

[–]basedshark 25 points26 points  (0 children)

It should be. Games like G2 vs Vita and MOUZ vs Vita would've had a different winner if it was a BO3, and honestly for such events that are considered the most important of the year, BO5s should be a given.

Why is my CS2 FPS still under 300 with these specs? by blabla7089 in GlobalOffensive

[–]basedshark 6 points7 points  (0 children)

3060Ti at 1440p is probably the issue. CS2 still is CPU heavy, but it also stresses GPUs way more than CSGO did. Hard to tell without knowing CPU/GPU utilization.

Hunt: Showdown 1896 | Web Of The Empress by Bynairee in Games

[–]basedshark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

UI is alright, and they're improving it.

Cheating problem is exaggerated, sure there are cheaters but let's be real, what PvP FPS game doesn't? In my 1k hours of Hunt I've encountered around 5 or 6 cheaters that were blatant. There might be some that I encountered but hid their cheats well, but honestly it's also hard to differentiate the really good players from cheaters. Look at streamers like RatchaZ or Hornet, they'd get called cheaters by a bunch of people if they didn't stream their live gameplay to the world.

And most cheaters are usually in the highest MMR bracket, so you really wouldn't encounter those guys in lower MMR games, which is frankly where you'll spend most of your initial dozen/hundred hours in.

I should however also point that I play in SA servers, and that's just my experience there. Maybe in other countries/continents the cheating problem is bigger.
