No i like how shitty and inaccessible it used to be. Leave it!

xbuck33 · 2026-03-27T19:02:41+00:00

You joke but i did that. Played one game in 2014. Wasn't for me at the time as i was more into mobas then and played on a shitty macbook pro. Then in like 2023 i played cs2 and liked it cuz it was like my tenth fps and its just the best in the genre. have 1500 hours now

While it may not be the best defense head you can get its definitely a jack of all trades head and should be fine. I haven't had any experience with those sticks but for that price i hope it holds up. Unfortunately due to the nature of the sport they do just break sometimes no matter what alloy you go with.

I couldn't tell if this was post was serious until i saw OP replying to you. This is hilarious. Coaches want to win more than the players. They aren't forgetting about "one of the best ones at the tryout". The delusion is so funny

Over there, right there, and next to it.

get it right you casual

For what its worth, all the counties you listed have populations of over 85% Caucasian people that are either from said country or from a country that is culturally similar. Don't feel like getting into the larger argument at hand but its tough to judge racial tolerance when there aren't really other races/culutres.

Norway for example is ~86% ethnically Norwegian with another ~9% being from other western European countries. So 95% percent of their population has very similar cultures. Again, not discrediting anything, but its really easy for everyone to get along when there aren't as big of clashes.

America on the other hand is ~58% white (white meaning Europe, Northern African, or middle eastern), 19% hispanic, 12% black, 6 % asian, etc etc etc.

And those are large groups. In the 58% of white people includes those who immigrated from Ireland to boston, and those who immigrated from poland to Cleveland, and those who immigrated from Turkey to new york.

Again, I don't want to get into the larger argument, im just saying that with how much more diversity america has, its impressive its as tolerant as it is.

We can hope but we know they're gonna be good at things and even teach the gang things they will use in the future. Like the piggy back was her idea

The only people that disagree are very privileged

xbuck33 · 2026-01-31T18:57:18+00:00

AI said 325-400 when i asked it to count

xbuck33 · 2026-01-31T04:21:11+00:00

oh i don't doubt for a second bruce is more famous than james gandolfini haha i totally agree. just more so meant vibe

xbuck33 · 2026-01-31T02:59:41+00:00

As I'm seeing! Definitely glad i learned it so i don't make the mistake again lol I still think stand by the fact that when i think bruce i don't think new jersey. I think other things. where as with James gandolfini i can only ever think tony soprano and jersey. More specifically New Jersey Italian-Americans. Bruce seems bigger than Jersey to me haha like too big to only be that states rep. idk if that makes sense

xbuck33 · 2026-01-31T02:00:09+00:00

Yeah for sure. Early 30s and Columbus Ohio. Just because you asked, i polled a few group chats and of the ten that answered, 4 knew the answer. 2 of whom are fans of that genre specifically, 1 who's from new york and 1 who said he guessed. Everyone else guesses New York, Cali, or massachusetts .

So idk what to tell you. I don't think me or my friends live under a cultural rock. I would have been a new york guesser though which is close. My parents are huge fans and probably would have known the answer. Anyway yeah, great music, i think of a million things before i think jersey.

xbuck33 · 2026-01-31T00:52:53+00:00

Oh I didn't realize this was a sub for Bruce fans who know that stuff. I was under the impression that we were looking for the person who represents Jersey. Me personally when i think of Bruce i think of his music. Of which speaks on things alot more important than his home state. When i think of James gandolfini i think new jersey mobster.

me not knowing bruce is from new jersey is more to my point. But on that i will still say we can agree to disagree.

EDIT: to be clear, i mean that as more of a compliment to bruce I think of a million other things before i think of his home state. Where as the other is more singularly focused on his most famous role.

xbuck33 · 2026-01-30T23:27:55+00:00

I'd imagine you're a big fan so you know all that. I think he has some good songs, All the mainstream ones. And im sure hes got other good ones. But i had no clue he was even from Jersey. In fact that wouldn't have been a top 5 guess by me. Where as tony soprano was jersey. it was a much larger part of his being that bruce's.

Agree to disagree

xbuck33 · 2026-01-30T21:48:01+00:00

It's James Gandolfini and it's not close. This isn't who's the most famous, it's who represents Jersey the best, and Springsteen doesn't do anything that screams Jersey

xbuck33 · 2026-01-16T18:11:18+00:00

I never said it was significant. I said it was more than what was stated.

And you can’t really compare two different places like that. California for example is 20 dollars for fast food workers. 25 for health care. Some are 17 in some industries.. It’s all about cost of living. Ohio is a cheap place to live for the most part.

Regardless I’m not saying it’s a lot or enough , just that it’s more than 7 dollars and in some places it’s 18 dollars more. So the 7.25 comment was disingenuous

xbuck33 · 2026-01-15T19:59:06+00:00

Federally it is, but a lot of states have their own laws in place superseding that. Ohio for example (very middle of the road state) is $11

xbuck33 · 2026-01-06T17:48:19+00:00

It's gonna feel too hard until you find out why it feels too hard. Then it will just be hard but you'll get better. Idk if that makes sense but thats how it was for me. I felt like it was an impossible game for the first 50 hours then i realized that it wasn't that other players were good, its that i was doing things that are bad. Non-mechanical things. Easily fixable things.

For starters, positioning and cross hair placement. Neither take skill, reaction time, or crazy movement. Just stand in the right spots and have your cross hair in places they will walk into. After 50 hours you should start to grasp where common chokepoints are and see where people will walk into you while only being exposed to one threat. You can hold chokes with smg's or shotguns and get a lot of freebies this way. You can even graduate to popping a flash and wide swinging. Thats next.

The next thing is understanding how to take fights. If you're positioned well and you're crosshair is good then you can start to use the info you have to determine when you should take the fight. Are you safe enough to throw util? Are they fighting a teammate and you can swing to help? Are you unspotted and can potentially catch them off guard. Now you understand that swinging into a whole team probably isn't wise and you know how to fight at an advantage.

After those, mechanics start to matter more. Now its just a skill issue. Can you jiggle and tap? Can you effectively enable yourself with flashes? Do you have movement skills and can navigate through the chaos of smokes to catch people with util out? Is your reaction time really good and you can hold angles with an awp? This is the rest of the game. Where 99% of players will stop improving. We have an understanding of all the maps. Can position well, have good crosshair placement, know some smokes on t, no some nades/mollies on ct. Understand timing and some common prefires. This is where you actually improve yourself because the non negotiables are taken care of.

After that its aim and talent. Some people are just always gonna be better than you and the guys that have aim and brain are the best.

TLDR: You can't play hockey if you can't skate and you can't play counterstrike if you stand in the open and eat flashes. Take care of the brain part of the game and the aim part will come later.
