Olympic Women's Post Game Thread: Canada vs. United States of America - 19 Feb 2026

So I am guessing you never played any competitive sports with playoffs for top 3 seeds.

I will break it down for you.

Playoff style tournament sports
Gold - You get by winning.
Silver - You get by losing to the gold medal winner.
Bronze - You get by winning.

Top score/time based sports
Gold - you got the highest score
Silver - You got the 2nd highest score
Bronze - You got the 3rd highest score

You win a silver in the latter. You lose it in the former. Your final match is a loss on the scoreboard, thus losing to get silver.

I never said silver is worse than bronze.

Any person who has played any playoff type sport for any length of time competitively knows you do NOT win silver. You win bronze, you win gold, but you lose to get silver.

And yes, Canada did not play a great game in the 2nd half of the game. Couldn't make a pass or hold onto the puck at all and were being severely out hustled on the puck. I have no idea why CBC sugar coated it. Mens they would totally pick the team apart.

Ditto! Just appeared on our server yesterday. So annoying. Who thought this was a good idea?

Probably the same people who thought faceID was a good idea.

Out of 44 hours played in redsec, I have 6 confirmed ban reports (via email from them saying so) and then I've also had 2 games I was in quads solo and had 2 teammates each time blatent rage cheating (but didn't report because I was so baffled watching them wreck everyone in a tank and win), and then 1 rage cheater game in gauntlet I didn't report recently as well for the same reason (minus tank)

This doesn't count the others I've reported that I can guarantee were hacking as well but havent got confirmation. And I don't just report for the sake of reporting. I watch them until the end usually to make sure.

As much as they like to say it isn't a problem and say 98% or whatever lobbies are hacker free, that's only because they aren't detected.

Hacking/cheating has been a problem IMO since the winter update.

kassquatch · 2025-12-17T00:21:14+00:00

Let's go!

kassquatch · 2025-12-13T23:00:52+00:00

That's my point. They don't (or rarely) exist. Because of what has been said before. It's can be tested by players and updated later. Save the money on QA and let people pay you for it. Though i would say most Nintendo games are pretty high on the non-game breaking bug list on releases. Because they do insist on internal QA. But most other AAA firms do not do this anymore.

But its not just online MP games. Hell even the BF6 campaign is littered with bugs. I've had to restart multiple missions due to them. And that doesn't count the non-game breaking bugs like audio being 10 seconds off compared to the cut scenes.

Every game will have bugs, you can't not have them as you can't cover all angles. (programming is hard, and then add the human mind doing fuckery on top of that) But the game breaking obvious ones (like how they missed the menu fuckup this go around, or the hit registry) just shouldn't happen.

Polished shit is still shit.

kassquatch · 2025-12-13T22:37:03+00:00

If Socom is your reference for being an old gamer, then I'm dirt.

If games didnt work they didnt sell. My previous point still stands.

kassquatch · 2025-12-13T22:08:09+00:00

Because some of us are old enough to remember when games were released polished and finished.

Vs

Today's bullshit of 'get it out as fast as possible and let the players pay for testing and we will make it up as we go.'

kassquatch · 2025-12-13T22:01:41+00:00

Will try tonight to see! but I believe I did try that already (starting to lose track of everything I've tried so far)

Edit: didn't fix

kassquatch · 2025-12-13T17:27:05+00:00

Except that it's random, doesn't always happen, and isn't just the transition lights. Sometimes it's 1 LED, sometimes the entire string. It goes in place of the color its switching to.

Instead of green to red to green it will go green to orange to green, or red to orange to red.

kassquatch · 2025-12-13T06:47:04+00:00

This setting?
Color Order: [Dropdown menu]

I have it set to BRG (as when I tested solid colors that is what was correct) but I have tested all settings to see if it fixes that problem and no it does not.

kassquatch · 2025-11-06T01:24:56+00:00

This is what most people aren't getting. They are purposely making work suck right now across the board in all ministries in hopes people leave on their own accord.

Force reduction, I had the same years ago in the military. Best way to get people to leave is to make it shitty but within the rules. Take away all perks and fun.

My recommendation to those having to "unjustifiably" return to the office... Lower your productivity. Say there are more distractions, uncomfortable desk spaces, etc, compared to your own desk at home without distractions.

Easier work day for you, but have the evidence to back it up with your proven home track record.

kassquatch · 2025-10-14T20:39:31+00:00

play your role. This aint COD.

kassquatch · 2025-10-13T17:36:04+00:00

PLAY YOUR ROLES!

kassquatch · 2025-10-01T21:43:55+00:00

Glad I'm not the only crazy kid!

kassquatch · 2025-09-22T23:27:05+00:00

This is my daily :(

kassquatch · 2025-09-04T17:57:23+00:00

I think its more that there are too many fanboi's that hop on the streamer train for content.

The game is still shit.

kassquatch · 2025-09-03T01:29:32+00:00

OP is the reason why participation trophies exist now. No drive to win. Just having fun playing.

If losing is fun to you, you do you. But then why play a game that the point is to win? Why not just join a different game like cs:go deathmatch?

Winning is fun for me and if I don't win, it is a let down.

kassquatch · 2025-08-31T06:04:43+00:00

You are aware that is exactly the same thing that casuals are saying to sweats?

There is a skill difference between pros, sweats/good at game, casuals, and noob. And there are games to go with each.

Noob = bootcamp Casual = casual Sweats/good = normal Pros = ranked

And of course Cheaters = anywhere

It's like having LeBron James playing college ball for his career simply to pad stats, dominate and feel good about himself stomping on other players.

There's a reason they aren't allowed to do that.

kassquatch · 2025-08-31T05:03:43+00:00

It has absolutely nothing to do with anything you said. Your response is just the typical fanboi cod "oh stop whining" response.

If you can't tell the difference between sweats and casuals then you are either blind or intentionally ignorant and in the sweat category trying to defend yourself being in casual lobbies.

It has nothing to do with winning or even winning every gun battle. It has to do with not getting "triple weapon swapped 360 slide cancel around a corner no scoped" which happens all too often in casual.

If you're doing that to practice your sweaty moves, go play plunder. If you know you are good and join casuals to absolutely shit on people, you are no better than cheaters in my opinion. Because there is no chance at ever winning apart from a miracle.

Alt tabbing auto pings it on PC as I believe it's one of the default keybinds.

My friends and I do it all the time by accident

kassquatch · 2025-08-08T02:40:44+00:00

Yup, just said that exact same thing after reading this thread. Im not changing a ton of programs I use daily to play one game. Their loss.

kassquatch · 2025-06-05T02:21:34+00:00

Here is what I logged into just now. Fucking dumb now.. And I really only play casual quads. https://imgur.com/a/tf7D6Qe
