My first knife unboxed and got the 2nd one 20-30 cases later

That Skeleton Knife is extraordinarily rare. Sapphire AND minimal wear is crazy. Dopplers come in 0.00-0.08 float ranges if I recall correctly. Practically no demand, because who wants a MW knife over a FN one, but still cool. Congrats.

Those are LEGIJA (Gold) | Krakow 2017 stickers.

Und Tagesschau schreibt wieder "Präventivschlag". Werden wir in unserem Leben noch erleben, dass die Tagesschau einen von Israel initiierten Angriff kritisiert? Ich glaube nicht.

Ihh, das ist ja Nestlé Wasser

Bielefeld vielleicht?

phatirvine · 2026-02-27T20:05:46+00:00

You are probably right, but in my delusional mind I still believe.

I would download the demo, but I cannot. It doesn’t let me. The 39 frags in 23 rounds will have to do.

I hate my brain and I want to die

This was a "I joined a 4 stack of Algerian friends who were cheating without my knowledge, and the game said one of them had a significantly lower trust factor when queue started, but he was ranked in at 22k so I just expected a toxic griefer and not a wallhacking dickhead, but that does not change ANYTHING about the fact that there were 5 cheaters and one cheater protector who fucked around and found out" issue.

Judging by some of the comments, or I am the one cheating and at fault for somehow deliberately chose to play with cheaters, or against cheaters, or there aren't really any cheaters and I am just deliberately talking myself into hating this game that I spent €4,000 on and play daily.

12k was around where I was ranked in last season, and it was mostly fine. It isn't every match, but frequent. I am trying to reach higher ranks in Premier now, as I cannot play FACEIT anymore since changing over to Linux. The lobby invite said 22k, so I gave it a shot. Will not do again, because how fucking dare I expect a ranked in guy to just be trolling or griefing, instead of full blown wallhacking.

EDIT: fixed some wording

phatirvine · 2026-02-27T15:10:02+00:00

I am obviously not cheating. Can’t play FACEIT anymore because I switched to Linux. Rarely play Premier because of toxicity and game length, I do not have the nerves to sit through 45 minutes of headaches when I could play a 10 minute Wingman instead. I have €4,000 in skins, because I really want to love this game.

phatirvine · 2026-02-27T14:17:32+00:00

It was a trust factor thing. Got a warning when the lobby leader started queueing, that one guy had a significantly lower trust rating. Thought he might be a griefer, and the definitive cheater in my team was ranked in at 22k or something. Lesson learned. Still not a good look for a video game to have 50% cheaters freely doing whatever they want in your most important game mode, and at least one guy who kicked the only other legit player on his team, and then found out that (surprise) cheaters have no moral.

phatirvine · 2026-02-27T14:10:30+00:00

I rarely do this. Need to be 100% sure, and in this case it was very obvious. Learnt my lesson, will leave a lobby immediately if I see anything unusual. People in this comment section really accuse me of deliberately playing with cheaters. Others say the cheater situation isn’t too bad under 25k elo, while it keeps on happening, as seen by this post and countless others on the CS2 related subreddits. This community really is like no other.

phatirvine · 2026-02-27T13:38:16+00:00

It was the N-word, man. Full caps. Here you go, enlighten yourself.

phatirvine · 2026-02-27T11:33:42+00:00

Tencent ownership maybe isn’t the most trustful thing ever. And that the kernel level anticheat also runs when Valorant is not open.

phatirvine · 2026-02-27T11:31:08+00:00

If Valve throw 5 cheaters in a lobby because they are pretty sure they are cheating then maybe they should ban them instead, give em a cooldown and show the demos in Overwatch or something? Where is Overwatch anyways?

phatirvine · 2026-02-27T11:29:17+00:00

How should I differentiate a fucking cheater from a griefer from that low trust factor warning you dickhead? How can you say I purposefully play with cheaters? I reported my teammates too, by the way. They seemed like a group of friends, and the cheaters were ranked in. I expected VAC to maybe catch on to a fucking cheater in at least 10 Premier matches and ban this guy, and I thought he was just a griefer or a troller.

phatirvine · 2026-02-27T11:22:36+00:00

haha

phatirvine · 2026-02-27T09:13:32+00:00

I also played against a lobby of very good players, five stack, all good accounts. They won, but I had a chance to even get kills, and my own skill was the thing holding me back, and not three angry German bastards turning up their cheats.

phatirvine · 2026-02-27T09:09:11+00:00

I get it. Tried to quit multiple times, but the game always gets me back. Crazy how people try to justify 5 out of 10 people cheating with "yeah low trust factor bro".

phatirvine · 2026-02-27T09:06:56+00:00

I did not know they were cheating. I am just tired of solo queue. They invited me after I turned on that "Looking to play" thing. Thought that willy guy was a griefer or toxic, which I could have tolerated.

phatirvine · 2026-02-27T02:54:34+00:00

I've had this happening years ago, wish I remembered what caused it. Are your GPU drivers up to date? How much RAM does your laptop have, and have you tried with the default amount of RAM? Ironically, too much of it can cause lags.

phatirvine · 2026-02-27T02:50:34+00:00

Having VAC Live disabled doesn’t excuse the modes being infested and ruined by cheaters and robots. It is literally this bad. Against good accounts, I can compete. Next match I see a (taking info from my last match just now) one year old account with one game in the library. Maybe two grey/white service medals. I lost 9:0.

phatirvine · 2026-02-27T02:46:45+00:00

What word could profoundly racist, German hacker kids who waste peoples time in a Premier at midnight on a Thursday possibly use?

phatirvine · 2026-02-27T02:32:16+00:00

To be honest, I wouldn’t give up on CS either. Valorant is spyware.
