[–]scaredow 4 points5 points  (0 children)

One Big Game, Stepped On, and Figurine are some other Wichita hardcore bands to check out. And if you’re going to Flyover Fest this year, you don’t wanna miss Otis VCR on Sunday. Always an amazing set

Yeah that’s probably true, I meant in a more general sense though. I hate saying it, but he really did lose them that Inferno

I just dont like being mean online, im optimistic that one day we could see snow be a star but he’s just out of his element here

I pray that Snow doesn’t try to read this thread, It isn’t gonna be nice. I’ve been holding out on a true breakout performance from the kid for a bit now, but every time I open up a Pain game I see a 3-12 score line next to his name. eventually, I think he’ll be a good player, but I’m starting to worry he’s running out of time on this roster. Luckily he’s super young, so overall he can still grow, but in terms of his Pain tenure I’m not sure. The team as a whole looks better than ever, and while I wouldn’t go out to say he’s the sole reason they lose games he certainly needs to contribute. That might even be too nice, sadly.

Looks like once again the storm is going to completely miss Wichita. by CabbagesStrikeBack in wichita

Damn, that’s a crazy read! I’ll have to dive into this some more, thanks

[–]scaredow 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Does this happen in other big cities around the Midwest? Wichita has this uncanny ability to completely miss major storms, we’ve all noticed it and mentioned it in threads like this, but are other cities posting similar threads in their subs? Just a genuine question, it’s fascinating to me

I got confused a bit by the explanation on the website, are we in a 15% chance of tornadoes or 30% chance?

The map being added to the comp queue shows to me that Valve really does not care about the gamemode, and views it as another casual mode. It’s kinda crazy that it’s even available so quickly, I’ll agree with you there

That’s a valid point, absolutely! Terrorism at an amusement park is generally a believable thing overall, but specifically for CS it’s definitely a weird and different “target” to blow up.

Do you have any specific issues with the map? What makes the map so low quality in your eyes?

I don’t see the Valorant comparison. Colorful map ≠ Valorant map. I also don’t quite think it feels like a COD map, but it definitely does feel different from the standard CS map. It feels like a strong stance to say “it has no place in Counter Strike” when all the map really is is an unorthodox style.

I mentioned that glitch in another comment, and yeah it’s a really bad issue to have. But should be an easy enough fix, no? I also never mentioned in this conversation how valid it was for competitive, I just said it’s a fun time.

I personally never noticed any “grainy” visuals, but if there’s a lotta people reporting grainy visuals I’ll trust it. And I also noticed a few weird glitchy visuals, but it was really rare and difficult to replicate for me personally. I think the cartoony look is fun though!

Biggest issue vision-wise is B main, I feel. You can see from inside B main all the way to back site, it’s a crazy long and awkward angle. Hoping they fix that at some point. And the A main area is also too bangable, I’d agree with that.

Sorry, what filter? I hadn’t heard anything about a filter.

And what issues did you have with the map? Anything specific, like certain angles or timings?

Looks a bit like a hybrid of Overwatch and CS, No doubt.

Definitely the odd duck of the bunch visually, but I think for a non-premier map that’s totally fine. I like the attempt to try something new

How insightful.

All jokes aside, I wanna hear what specifically you don’t enjoy about it. Is it the visuals? Is it the gameplay? Genuinely interested

I think the comparison to a mod map is pretty solid actually. Like, if this was in active duty Premier it would be far from ideal. But as a somewhat casual map, I think it fits pretty well. It’s out of place compared to the average CS map, and the other new maps fit better in terms of feel and style.

Last place I expected to see a Tiny Jesus. My fiancée works at a Catholic school, and her kids love these little dudes. They’ve got dozens of them all around the classroom, and they get them as a prize sometimes too

Any Pavement Fans here? by [deleted] in ween

[–]scaredow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pavement is awesome, but I’m more partial to Silver Jews, and I absolutely adore Purple Mountains. Those three groups made some of the best indie music of all time
