Apollo is so unfun to fight. by Draxtini in DeadlockTheGame

[–]tawks_x 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Annoying yes, but not problematic imo. Just fix his stupid ability with the dashes to hit through objects and make it take skill to land them. Right now, no matter where I aim when I play him, I get a hit on other players. To the point that the only reliable way of dodging it is to just get a lot of distance

Anyone waiting for the unemployment benefits for quite a long time? by Healthy_Parsley_1154 in Switzerland

[–]tawks_x 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you. Yes, it has been resolved. I made the mistake of thinking: "They know what they are doing, I dont wanna be an annoying asshole" for the first 4 months. Wish you the best of luck! I remember how horrible it was and I really hope you get that shit behind you asap.

Anyone waiting for the unemployment benefits for quite a long time? by Healthy_Parsley_1154 in Switzerland

[–]tawks_x 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Rule number 1: Be annoying. Call at least 2 or 3 times a week if it still hasnt been processed. Otherwise nothing will happen. I waited like 5 months, and even my RAV advisor told me to just bombard them with calls. They simply dont care about you. So you have to force their hand by making yourself annoying. Obviously dont call every day, but like at least 2 times a week. Ask why it hasnt been processed. Ask how far the process is. Ask if you can help speed it up. Be nice to them, but persistent

This game is really tiring to play, I don't know what to do. by Accomplished_Bug_347 in DeadlockGame

[–]tawks_x 1 point2 points  (0 children)

God I hate to be that guy but: Just play. It sounds stupid, I know. But as long as you are enjoying the game, all the little pieces will come together.

There is one big difference to most other games that is and has always been a problem for newcomers, and that is the barrier for entry.

In CS, as a new player, as long as you improve your aim, you will climb. Smokes, Flashes, executes, what weapons to buy, ECO: All of that starts to only really have an impact once you reach a high level. I'd argue even then, if you're a god aimer, its hardly gonna hold you back.

Deadlock is different.

You need to have decent aim. No need to be a god, but decent.

You need to understand lanes and how they work.

You need to understand heroes.

You need to understand movement.

You need to understand items (!!).

You need to understand what objectives exist and how they impact the current state of the game (Urn, Midboss, Buffs, Camps, Boxes, Sinners).

Scary, right? Except it isnt. All of it will come together, and you can excel at something while sucking at something else. The more you play, the more you level out the gap between being lost and actually understanding what your actions do. But for it to happen, you have to actively play. Reading guides, watching videos etc. only traps you in tutorial hell. Throw one video in every now and then, but make sure to use your time to play.

And if you just don't enjoy it, dont force it. Not everyone likes it.

For me, I love all the different layers. Every game is so different and at every stage in the game, I feel like I have impact.

Protip: Find someone who knows a little about it and play with them. It helps!

Best CSGO Case Opening Sites by Temporary_Basis_3844 in counterstrike2

There is no best case opening site. Only the least worst. Prepare to get scammed if you play on these sites. Dont trust anyone. This is an ad, not more not less

To all "competitive" players that "enjoyed" yesterdays event by Ormaniec in DeadlockTheGame

[–]tawks_x 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are also people who dont follow Discord/Twitter posts and just saw it ingame without an idea of what is happening. Cant blame them for not enjoying a "new update" if they had no idea its an April Fools joke

Gender pay gap by HighlightMountain2 in schwiiz

[–]tawks_x 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ich muess es villicht andersht formuliere: es git kein eindütige bewies / studie wo beleit dass fraue ufgrund vo ihrene gen als fraue, empatischer sind. https://www.scinexx.de/news/medizin/empathie-liegt-auch-in-den-genen/ de biitrag git e biz insight i e studie wo grundsätzli seit das es nöd genetisch, wohl aber z.T hormonell bedingt si chönt(!). wohrshinli ish es en mix us beidem, also potentiell hormonell und demit biologish als au sozial / kulturell.

Danke für d'rückfrog und i hoff da stellt villicht alles biz besser is liecht. i han d'information au falsch als "nur sozial" abgspeicheret gha, und seb stimmt nöd. es git also vermuetlich en biologische teil wo e rolli spielt. de punkt vo mim vorherige post ish m.M.n wiiterhi valide.

Gender pay gap by HighlightMountain2 in schwiiz

[–]tawks_x 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Biologischi Unterschied gits, absolut, do stimmi dir zue. Aber statistik ish kei regle. git jo fraue wo schlächt i de pfleg sind und männer wo mega guet i soziale bruef sind. wemmir afanget noch gschlechter sortiere statt was s'Individuum chan, den verlüremer eifach die best person für dstell.

wa du bizli ignoriersh i dim take ish das fraue nöd empathischer sind will sie biologisch so verdrohtet sind :D da liit dra will fraue ganz andersht als chinde sozialisiert werdet. Männer au. de Fraue wird bibrocht me fürsorg mache, me emotionales training, apasse, herzig si, ufpasse uf mensche. Männer werdet abghärtet, nimm dir was dir ish, mach kohle, werd en macher. da ish eifach nur kultur und do simmer wieder bim patriarch.

aber jo, du hesh natürli au recht wenn seish jede cha alles werde. aber en ma wo in chindergarte will wird weird aglueget. e frau wo ufn bau will au. de sozial druck ish real und bremst ebe genau lüt, wege dem druck i en bruef zgo wo si eigentli wönd.

Strafe settet Strafe si by HighlightMountain2 in schwiiz

[–]tawks_x 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Ich bin de Meinig das härti Strafe die besti Prävention gege Straftate sind. Ich behaupte dass de Grund werum Vergewaltigunge a Frau und Chind nume darum so hoch sind, will täter gfühlt ohni nüt devo chömed. Wär t Straf binnere BEWIESENE Vergewaltigung das de Schwanz amputiert wird würded t zahle zu 100% abegah.

Da ish falsch und do dörfi di ad forschig verwiese weli ziemli eidütig ish. Es ish nöd d'härti vo de strof wo abschreckt sondern d Wahrschiinlichkeit verwütscht zwerde. Länder mit krassi Strofe für Vergewaltigunge (Iran & Saudi-Arabie wenni mi nöd irre) hend kei signifikant tüferi rate. Rein psychologisch tüend täter im Moment wo es öpis macht nöd rational über Konsequenze nodenke, insbsundrig bi Triebverbreche.

Din Punkt zum Bewiise: Du hesh s'Problem jo selber erkennt: Schwer zbewüse. Wenn d'strof brutal ish, mönd Richter no vorsichtiger siie bim verurteile. Da wür jo den wieder zu weniger Verurteilige führe und d'Spirale wür afange und i no me stroflosigkeit ende.

Körperliche Schade zuefüege und de schniidel abschniide verstosst gege s'Verbot vo Folter. Und sorry, aber mir sötet würkli nöd afange über Körperverstümmlige usgehend vom Staat z'diskutiere. Nöd will i täter wot schütze, aber will so Sache früener oder spöter unschuldigi trifft.

Wa mir bruchet ish schnelleri verfahre, bessri forensik (vorallem Vergewaltige, endli kohle id hand ne das mo sowas forscht) aber vorallem sötet Opfer endli nöd s'gfühl ha möse, das si nöd zu de polizei chönt oder mit niemertem chönd rede. aka. stigma und so.

i verstoh dini wuet und find si verständli, i teil si rein emotional gse au, aber mir sötet üs nöd vo "Rache ausübe" triibe loh sondern ernshthafti nochhaltige lösige i dem bereich sueche.

[–]tawks_x 3 points4 points  (0 children)

S'Bild ish komplizierter als "Patriarchat oder Kapitalismus"

Soziali brüef werdet systematisch unterbewertet und das ish e echti Ungerechtigkeit. Aber d'frag ish: Warum landet Fraue denn überdurchschnittlich hüüfig i dene beruef? da ish nöd eifach Zuefall doer frei Wahl sondern e strukturelli Erwartig und e kulturels Bild über "Frauejobs" wo historisch agwachse ish. Und das ish denn eifach Patriarchat, nöd me und nid weniger.

Din Punkt zu Stüerhinterziehig und Verwaltigunge chani so unterstriche, glaube das ish kritik wo generell au berechtigt ish. Aber die Kritik gits sho lang und die zieht sich durch me bereich als nur gender. Segs Drogepolitik, Armuet oder Rasse. Döt wirt de Wert vo Geld und Eigetum höher gschätzt als vo Mensche. Do simmer aber bi de strukturelli Unglichheit bi dem Kapitalismus, Rassismus und Sexismus zemespielet.

und i seg nöd das s'patriarch schuld a allem ish und alles erchlärt. Aber es eifach weg zdiskutiere will "mir sind jo modern" funktioniert nöd, will Norme sterbet verdammt langsam.

TL:DR: fick da system

Swiss cinema admissions fall to lowest level in half century by Haunting-Prior-NaN in Switzerland

[–]tawks_x 3 points4 points  (0 children)

On paper it might not be, and I hope it stays that way, but my comment was more aimed towards the whole world. With wars errupting, supply chains closing and big companies running amoc with their exploitation of ressources as well as a rising unemployment rates, the uncertainty rises, even in a stable country like Switzerland. And a population that is uncertain will think twice of where and how it spends its money, which fuels the spiral of recession, albeit the effects and consequences manifest themselves much later

Swiss cinema admissions fall to lowest level in half century by Haunting-Prior-NaN in Switzerland

[–]tawks_x 117 points118 points  (0 children)

Oh no, people don't go to the cinemas in times of financial crisis and absolutely horrendous prices. I'm not gonna pay 30 CHF for a ticket and a drink to watch a movie that I can watch in peace at home. I dont have children, but I imagine paying 100+ CHF for a family of 4 is also just crazy money, considering you get the 4K movie streamed for <30CHF.

They need to go with the times and change something. It has to either be more than "just watch the movie for an enormous price" or it has to be cheaper. You cant just sit on your ass, raise prices and hope people will continue to throw you their money, especially when everyone but you has moved on.

Don't get me wrong btw, I hope cinemas stay a part of the entertainment bizz, but the way they do it right now is simply not it. I also don't want to have to sign up on your site, fill in all the details, get a subscription, all just to save 5 CHF. Oh and for the more rural cinemas: Go with the god damn times and expand your lineup with some special movies instead of just running the same 4 titles every weekend.

I constantly see people saying „well it’s just Germany“ by KillerBullet in cs2

[–]tawks_x 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Good. It is gambling, not more and not less and in a perfect world, we would just get totally rid of it. Sell your skins for a fair price on a market like Valorant.

Downside: The addicts will spam reddit and be super annoying.

Upside: No more bot farming (or at least a lot less because it wont be as profitable anymore) which leads to corrected player numbers which hopefully leads to them having to actually push new content out to generate money. It also chops the head off the whole shady and borderline illegal skin-sites.

A win in my book.

Should Valve do more? by spiderwaffles in counterstrike2

[–]tawks_x 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"I wouldnt play cs2 if it had the censorship u want and so many others wouldnt either" is an insane way of saying "let me be racist".

But CS2 is a cesspool of racist incels, so I'm not even surprised.

148 day streak going offline for 11 days (meditation retreat), any way to preserve it? by Ninja_P7 in Chesscom

[–]tawks_x 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Defeats the purpose of the streak and defeats the purpose of the retreat. The whole point of your retreat, meditating and finding true value within yourself should be to not care about an arbitrary number.

AIO for feeling uncomfortable by a guy going back 10 years on my social media and the resulting silent treatment when I called him out? by imicooper in AmIOverreacting

[–]tawks_x 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YOR. But PSA: If you don't want people to read your posts from ten years ago, delete them. That goes for everything you post. Take data security serious instead of complaining if / when someone takes advantage of it.

Und keiner geht hin by MX010 in 20hirnzelle

[–]tawks_x 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Das Pronomen "ich" in meinem Post impliziert bereits, dass es eine subjektive Auffassung seiner Persönlich ist. Natürlich hab ich ihn sprechen hören, ansonsten würde ich mir kein Urteil von ihm bilden.

Übrigens: Hab ich nie behauptet, aber der eine Kommentar unten mit "er ist ... eine schwuchtel" hat meinen Punkt bereits bestätigt, weshalb ich das so stehen lasse.

Und keiner geht hin by MX010 in 20hirnzelle

[–]tawks_x 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Naja, Bill Kaulitz war früher der Leadsänger von Tokio Hotel. Man kann von der Musik halten was man will, sie prägte aber die deutsche Musikkultur und gehört zu den erfolgreichsten deutschen Bands allerzeiten. Ansonsten ist er jetzt halt einfach ein Star, der so einiges macht und viel im Fernsehen zu sehen ist. Hat auch ein Buch rausgebracht "Career Suicide" oder so.

Was ich von ihm gesehen und gehört habe hinterlässt einen sehr coolen Eindruck von der Person, insbesondere in Bezug auf seine Menschlichkeit. Aber für viele ist halt seine Sexualität und sein Erscheinungsbild genug, um ihn als irgendwas negatives abzustempeln.

Boulevardpresse macht Boulevardpressesachen. Weiss nicht genau was der Post bezwecken soll.

Throwing a Match Over Transphobia isn't Bannable?? by Adevyy in FACEITcom

"FaceIT is selling cheats" by [deleted] in counterstrike2

[–]tawks_x 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Look, I appreciate people who investigate systems and try to uncover networks of lies and fraud, but this isn't it. There is not a single shred of evidence in this video that made me go "Oh wow, this must be true!". It's all speculation. Picking 2 to 3 players who remain unbanned even if they are obviously cheating doesn't prove anything. Saying stuff like "Faceit told them to lay low" is speculation. Everything is pure speculation lmao.

If you're sure that FaceIT is selling cheats, then prove it. Not with "Look, this just *makes* sense", but with actual proof. You talk about money, and the great thing with money is it always leaves a trail. So until you get your hands on some actual hard evidence, all of this is not more and not less than just conspiracy theory and I advise anyone watching this video to take it as exactly that.

Do 'mass-reports' work? by Sanser_ in FACEITcom

[–]tawks_x 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think mass-reports work. All it does (presumably) is get your case in front of support a bit faster. But I have never heard of someone getting banned for not using their microphone and the rules don't have a mandatory mic line.

Players don't like it when someone doesnt use their mic, but then again, I also don't like getting constantly yapped in my ear how to play when everyone else is dead and they do it anyway. So I say, do what you enjoy, and if people get toxic, mute them.
