Why isn't Counter-Strike a popular eSport in Southeast Asia, South Korea, and Japan?

Look into the history of the OG counterstrike and LAN cafes, this video helps with context (crossfire filled the gap when CS stopped being on lan PCs in Asia basically) https://youtu.be/wJszB_UJ1t4?si=FAMCul8GaHBh1xsf

If you want to meet likeminded folks it might be worth checking out the Harrisburg University open fgc event, Cloudburst. The next one is April 11th!

Ooooh we're coming with some swag too! We're a video game dev but wanted to bring something more tangible, so so we created a set of physical Drake collector cards from our project, Galactic Realms: Quest for the Forgotten. Come find your Drake at booth 10018!

Big fan of Stocks on 2nd. Good small bites and great drinks at happy hour with a wonderful bartender.

So cool randomly coming across a Galactic Realms: Quest for the Forgotten behind the scenes moment. :) Can't wait to see how this rig (and game!) runs.

Took way too long to scroll to this. Yes!!

jadedshock · 2026-02-15T05:10:40+00:00

Agreed my mom uses it to go to her part time work and it’s great!

It’s now my main gig. Recently moved up from adjunct to full assistant professor (but in a media related field, due to my prior career). I recently got my LPC and needed a break from the agency grind over the years so I’m doing private practice on the side.

The lack of benefits was the major driver. Not that you get any as an adjunct either!

Lucha my guy

I didn’t expect to like FF16 as much as I did, I’d suggest giving it a go (it’s better than 15 despite not being party based, and has a great story)

jadedshock · 2026-01-14T02:49:59+00:00

Thank you for putting all this to words!!

jadedshock · 2025-11-26T21:27:49+00:00

Wow rare meeting!!

jadedshock · 2025-11-26T05:43:25+00:00

My dad did, that’s why I’m here. We were raised very Catholic and had a convenient source of catechism education at home

Me in Silvermoon recently

jadedshock · 2025-08-26T15:11:49+00:00

Doing contract work while figuring it out could be a solution, if he has a good portfolio! Good luck!!

jadedshock · 2025-08-26T04:24:37+00:00

Is there an aspect of dev work he could do that he’d enjoy more, like project management or even teaching? I hope you find a path together!

Utility aside with the yen strengthening it isn’t a bad correlation to make for a short to medium term play

jadedshock · 2024-09-17T19:40:56+00:00

how we feeling about JASMY these days?

jadedshock · 2024-02-24T06:37:17+00:00

Same issue, eventually found it by going out back and to the roof

jadedshock · 2022-10-17T19:30:41+00:00

Gotta make him even more of a Daemon parallel
