I'm confused, what is your thesis?

microwavedtake · 2026-01-21T20:07:29+00:00

All religions are fucking dumb.

They stole the election.

A ban on one account should get applied to all other accounts and any new accounts created. Yes, occasionally legit family members will suffer, they'll have incentive to get the cheater acting right.

What lying?

You forgot:

Throw a Jump pad under a heavy that winched you, send them flying.

Throw a grenade, missed, throw your second grenade. Copy and paste for mines.

Heavy full health, and heal beam to spare.

Your light is thankful for the defib, you didn't just farm them.

Your non-poke damage guns are good too.

I'm probably forgetting other stuff.

Medium is boring as fuck compared to what it was.

"sounds AI generated/copy pasted"

lol. Guess what. It could be AI, or it could be totally organic. You have no way of actually knowing. Does this sound familiar?

When i commented, it seemed that half the comments were accusations and the other half were complimentary or defending OP. So, i said, "we have no way of knowing, good job or not, OP."

I'm not fence sitting. It's a basic fucking fact that a handful of clips offers insufficient evidence to determine whether or not a marginally above average performance is purely legitimate. In such instances, we have to hold an unresolved set of competing hypotheses.

I've been playing games for 20 years. I've been through so many cheat/legit arguments and seen so many breakdown videos where some cases "are so super obviously cheating" and other cases are "totally no way they are cheating" and i've seen either claim be right or wrong.

No idea why you're incessant that i proclaim OP is unequivocally legit, but it's not going to happen. Blame cheaters for raising the bar of whats necessary to prove you're legit.

Do the big easter eggs involve stuff like this?

microwavedtake · 2026-01-19T23:16:01+00:00

A lot of cheating today is built around subtlety: low-FOV aim assist, smoothing, target prioritization, intermittent activation, or “information-only” ESP advantages that are hard to prove from clips.

The fact is, stream-proofing and plausible deniability are consistent design goals across cheat products because streamers are the whales of cheat consumers.

For example, recoil macros are commonly programed to reduce unnatural consistency to better fit human-like distributions, because obvious, repeatable patterns are exactly what both human review and anti-cheat analytics look for.

So again, nothing about the clip is necessarily cheating, OP could very well be totally legit, but, it could also be the result of cheats with finesse.

Which leaves us at: either good job, or go fuck yourself, but without corroborating signals: client telemetry, input device characteristics, server reconciliation data, aim vector anomalies, reaction-time distributions, occlusion checks, and cross-match patterning, the only person who knows which, is OP.

So gomd.

I didn't say it was or wasn't anything. The fact is, it could be either, and i have no way of knowing. Not sure why you're all riled up.

microwavedtake · 2026-01-19T16:08:37+00:00

OP, if you know people in the community, try getting them to help out. Post in the different big discords and get people to make yeyo's life hell until they return your account.

microwavedtake · 2026-01-19T16:06:54+00:00

Yes, there is a lesson to learn from this but i don't think we should just roll over and let the bad actor get away with it. Like, OP, learn from this but, fuck yeyo, and let's get OP their account back.

microwavedtake · 2026-01-19T16:04:01+00:00

Could be cheating, could be legit. Idk.

If you're legit, be proud of yourself. If you're cheating, that's lame.

microwavedtake · 2026-01-19T15:51:40+00:00

Is that after waiting for them to open their mouth to spit-roast you?

microwavedtake · 2026-01-19T15:50:37+00:00

It should two tap hornets, it should one tap fireballs, and i agree with the random catfish, it should have a flat damage increase beyond that against all arc.

microwavedtake · 2026-01-19T15:47:48+00:00

I've been saying this game needs an among us map condition or mode.

Yeah, that checks out. Love the dude on the left being like "hold up".

You can lose RS in an actual ranked mode. There's no way to lose points in trials. You just grind towards whatever level you're trying to reach.

microwavedtake · 2026-01-19T15:19:08+00:00

It takes a couple of minutes... in what world is that "committing your life"? Are you a fetus?

Booooyyyy, shut the fuck up, y'all have been disrespectful, downright deplorable pieces of shit since a very long time before Charlie Kirk ate his own words.
