    I have ~10k hours in counterstrike

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

    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.

      Evolutionary psychology. I think there’s real research in the field, but it’s drowned out by charlatans who use invoke its name to lend credence to their made-up bullshit without the burden of scientific rigour.

        I can buy a new toaster from the shop, why can't I buy a woman too? Does this mean Gamers are pro sex-work? Or pro indentured servitude for women more likely..

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

            I never understood this mentality, myself.

            Gamers: "I never get laid... 😩"

            Also Gamers: "Women are just kitchen accessories."

              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....

                    I have ~10k hours in counterstrike across multi game versions and accounts. I noticed a similar thing over my years. The players doing well in a match were often neutral towards gamer girls, but the guy having a shit match would be the fastest sack of shit every time. Especially if one of the top fraggers pointed out they were being beaten by a girl.

                    Obviously there are always exceptions to any rules but in my anecdotal experience the guys who were confident in their abilities didn't care about women but losers would attack them just for speaking.

                    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.

                          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.”

                              I have noticed that all of these misogynists are incredibly insecure alpha-pretending males. Can't imagine how tiring this constant fear must be.

                                Same feelings here, I used to average around 1k hours per year in my "active" years.

                                All of the issues with CS2 kinda put the end to that, played the beta, then stopped for a year, and now I play few games every few days

                                  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.

                                    My heavy CS days were early in csgo days. Back when the skin gambling scene and the pro scene were popping early on. My buddies and I would watch the pro games and then get all hyped to improve and we would jump into ranked only to get fucking pub stomped. Good times. Eventually we did start getting good. I only ever got to whatever rank was below global and only two of my buddies ever got to global.

                                    However my top fps bragging moment was actually in valorant when it was a closed beta still I absolutely shat all over pro csgo player at the time named JDM in a lobby. Top fragged and completely dominated him the entire match.

                                    That was when I peaked in my fps gaming lol. It's all been downhill since. I'm still better than most people at fps games in general, but I am not as sharp and snappy as I was when I was a younger man with way more free time to practice and improve every night.

                                      I don't think that's right, I'm terrible at games but I still respect women (enough to avoid making them interact with me whenever possible)

                                        provably not.

                                          yeah. all your free time is conclusions being handed to you and the illusion of agency.

                                          and it's not like everyone's sitting around playing shit like 'disco elysium' all day.
