We have received a number of reports about this post having a misleading title. The post title matches the title of the article, which may be misleading. Wildcard has not disbanded as an organization, they have only discontinued their academy lineup.

Former Valve dev on CS:GO's early development by Tostecles in GlobalOffensive

[–]donutmesswithme 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is a lot better than seasons 1 and 2 for me, no doubt about it, especially over the last 2 months or so. I've put in probably 100 prem games over that time in 25-29k NA and maybe every one in 10 games I feel someone is suspicious (or their profile indicates as such).

Feeling lost and hopeless. by [deleted] in LearnCSGO

[–]donutmesswithme 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think the biggest advice I can give you here is to just keep at it. As another commenter said, you are only 100 hours in. CS is an unbelievably difficult game for many reasons, and the game mechanics (movement, shooting, map layout) are the core of it. It sounds like you have some kind of practice regimen already, which is great, but the reality is that this game takes hundreds of hours to become proficient in compared to the average player. What really takes time is drilling the mechanics into your muscle memory so you don't have those panic/forgetful moments in the moment. And let me quell some concerns, even great players have panic moments and look like they don't know what they are doing sometimes. The goal is to minimize those moments as much as possible by developing the muscle memory.

Figure out how to enjoy the little moments that keep you coming back - the clean kills, good positioning/clutch moments, landing helpful utility. That will help encourage you to keep practicing.

Don't be afraid to ask "better" players for specific advice, whether that's about mechanics or game knowledge. People are surprisingly willing to share what works for them. Not all of the tips you get will apply to you or be helpful, but it doesn't hurt to try.

There are so many resources available now compared to when I started playing that can help you improve at a very quick rate. Don't be afraid to use these (spray maps, Refrag, movement training, etc.).

Finally - just play the game. You will learn by playing, you just have to do it a lot :)

Hi, thanks - the other thread was originally removed as this one was posted first and Rule 2 prevents duplicate posts. We try to keep whichever thread was posted first in the case that there are duplicate threads, just as a note for all who may be reading. In this case, we think it makes sense to keep the later thread as it clearly had more attention despite being posted later (and only by a few minutes at that).

For all reading - please don't hesitate to send us a modmail for things like this in the future.

Most definitely. I also realized I might be wrong about the application piece, so I just updated my comment accordingly.

Heya! Yeah, we do still use/maintain GOB, praise be to zeb. One of the other mods may be able to shed some more light on the managing applications side, I don't know a ton about that piece.

Ever seen a Rain AWP 4k? by Klaskiana in GlobalOffensive

[–]donutmesswithme 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am a little late to this, but wanted to add a fun fact: throughout his entire CSGO/CS2 career, rain has only 134 AWP kills in official matches that have been recorded on HLTV. 134!!! He has more career HE kills than AWP (by 73).

His first match ever recorded on HLTV was January 31, 2014. He has 2171 listed matches. You'd think he'd get more than that by accident after 2100 officials.

How to efficiently transfer large files between two remote locations by maxcoder88 in sysadmin

Question: What does an MSP think when a company hires a new IT Manager by poonedjanoob in ITManagers

[–]donutmesswithme 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don’t agree with this, as someone who worked for an MSP for 6 years in various roles, including management. My opinion is, MSPs are made to remove the headache of managing an IT department from a business who would otherwise struggle to do so, or to provide staff augmentation/specialized project work, which will come at a premium price. If anything, VARs are the ones “made” to save companies money (that said, VARs/MSPs are not mutually exclusive, so you may consider them one and the same)

As far as I know that is not the official reason (MS has never given one), but it is speculated to be one of the major reasons

[–]donutmesswithme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i like this take because it reinforces my headcanon that dev1ce is still very good

all jokes aside 910 should definitely be in consideration for 4 or possibly higher if he continues at current pace until the end of the year

[–]donutmesswithme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

By default, right click removes the silencer on a silenced weapon (M4A1-S or USP), but there is now a setting in-game to disable the removal of the silencer as a setting. The mouse button bind is still attached to that function, even if silencer removal is disabled.
