  Especially if one of the top fraggers pointed out they were being beaten by a girl.

  Not really a gold star by the top player’s name for this, either. The comment alone leaves plenty of room to be interpreted as “girls should be easy to beat/poor gamers because they’re girls.”

    They wouldn’t say “you’re getting beaten by a girl” as much as they would respond to the guys losing their minds who happened to be below them on the scoreboard by saying things like “Why are you yelling at her she’s playing better than you are shut up”. Kinda way.

      There are definitely many competent players that will be like “haha you’re getting beaten by a girl” out there, though.

        Nobody ever claimed pubstompers were good people. We pubstomp precisely because we’re not

  You’re absolutely correct, I had a similar experience

  I played CS for roughly the same amount of time; my clan ranges from DMG to Global, but we had a rule that if you were in the clan, we’d 5-man with you regardless of your rank, so if you were Silver, you’d have a chance to rub elbows and learn strategies from the higher skilled players.

  Then we got a Global, a girl named Moon.

  Holy hell, it’s like people’s brains did a 180°, they were incredibly mean to her, for no reason, and eventually it came out that she was trans, and they bullied her even worse, out of the server.

  I kicked everyone who bullied/demonized Moon for being trans; because at the end of the day, it was about being a honest human being, and not just a CS player/gamer.

  Man. I miss when gungame was filled with people and all the fun addons. Warcraft 3 mods, vote for knife fight, “gotcha bitch” with every knife kill.

  I want to go back.

    Counter Strike was way better when this was the vibe. I am so tired of competitive this and gun case that. I’ve never been interested in 5v5 scrimming in any serious way, but that’s all CS2 wants me to do.

    I want gun game, I want wc3, I want ZM. I want quirky custom maps and quake sounds and !bet ct all. I want to fuck around with new friends on a server for an evening, not to sweat my balls off throwing practiced smokes on dust2.

      I’m right there with you. I haaaaaate the direction of modern gaming.

      Same thing kinda happened to TF2. I mean, Competitive is dead but the server browser and community servers are not what they used to be. I miss when it was front and center. Today most people just play casual on Valve servers.

      After a quick search it seems like the CS2 in-game server browser has gone to complete shit. I hope Valve fixes it. It’s part of the Source Legacy.

      And the old WCFAN (we couldn’t find a name) servers, what was it called again, I think hillbreak? That was fun!

  I have ~10k hours in counterstrike

  Damn. There’s 8760 hours in a year btw. That’s impressive.

  • MoreFPSmorebetter@lemmy.zip ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

    If it makes you feel any better those hours were spread out over the last 10 years or longer. I can’t even remember when I started. Just one of those ol’ reliable games for me.

      A tenth of a year is still 36 and 1/2 days of uninterrupted cs per anum.

      • MoreFPSmorebetter@lemmy.zip ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

        And the worst part of it is that probably half of those hours happened within a few years in the middle there. I played like 6 hours a night every night with my friends. Good times but yeah…
