The discourse I've observed thus far has felt more honest, less pugnacious than on Reddit. Obviously I've seen a drop in the bucket, but anyway, it's good so far.

True. As I mentioned, it was my favorite reddit app (Boost) coming to Lemmy that got me going. I had previously started to dip a toe into the fediverse, but it's a rather confusing concept to think you need to sign up to an instance that may not have any specific appeal itself, it just give you a connection to all the other instances (except when it doesn't).
I dig. I'll make an effort to post in my hobby subs (woodworking and 3d printing) to get some good shit in there. 😉
Good comments in here about the need for better mod tools etc. Not something I normally think about myself.
Don't they have a mechanism for filtering you into games with people who have similar stats so there's a bit of balance? Play a while and get wrecked until you fall down to your own level?
Hand soap and water most of the time, a microfiber with the spray they give you when you get new glasses, or a dry microfiber if I have to. My lenses are immaculate.
I leave the microfiber cloths in my pockets when they need washing and that works well enough if not perfect.
Ah yes, it does seem to pull results, though as another person mentioned it probably won't be a major source due to poor seo and obviously far less volume/activity compared with reddit.
The only right answer is Uniball Jetstream, probably 0.7mm. Buy the multi-pen and a bunch of refills and you're good to go.
Jetpens.Com is a nice site.
I get that, especially when the map is fairly small, but I'm talking about the insane twitch reflexes and aim of these players. I feel like 90% of the time it's just thp-thp! and I'm dead, from practically any distance, whereas I'm firing bursts and need a second or three to actually kill someone.
Plus AWPers are unreal. The crosshairs in the scope blur if you move at all, so I can't fathom how these folks are so accurate, but there you have it.
I'm not calling anyone a cheater, just saying the average skill level is far beyond me. I still had fun. Gotta remember, it's easy, just click on their heads.
Indeed. I was pretty decent back in 1.3 days playing on a friend's server who had a frickin T1 line at home. It was just as competitive play was starting to develop and there was no voice chat until Roger Wilco came about. That's partly why I'm not a WASD guy. Gotta keep the fingers on the home row ready to type "I had sex with your mom." not just say it.
Ah, memories.
Played some CS2 last night and it was death match rounds on Dust 2. Unbelievable how fast I die. I just can't even...
However, the game did feel really well polished. Very snappy except for a few lag spikes. I started to limber up and even earned a positive K:D in one round. Well, for most of the round. I fell to - 3 in the last moments, but overall it was pretty fun. Don't think I could hang in a regular match though. Too much time sitting around dead.
I've never understood what gap these things fill that isn't better filled by a bike. They look really fun, but as soon as I think seriously about it I can't see why I wouldn't want the exercise and mobility of walking or biking, and what I can't do with those is satisfied by my car.
Not trying to shit on it, just musing.
