In terms of gameplay mechanics, old school zoom aiming achieves the same thing as ADS. Is getting to press your nose against virtual firearms really that important in a game about shooting werevolves and vampires?

I blame this on the proliferation of Call of Duty over traditional scifi and fantasy shooter franchises. You can fucking ADS on an assault rifle in Halo now visible-disgust

DAE LE TRIGGER DISCIPLINE

DAE LE MAGAZINE

It's just another "man card renewal" ritual done by insecure reddit-logo types.

Rare UlyssesT L.

You can pry my proper ironsights from my cold dead hands. I will go further to say counterstrike 2 is cowardly pandering to esports purists. They should have gone the route of making a better R6 siege without the garbo ubisoft hud shit.

You can stand by that that all you like, but if you chant it the way reddit-logo also chants "trigger discipline" and "magazine not clip" for tacticool approval points and Le reddit-logo Gold, I'd call that a rare Nakoichi L in return.

Also I appreciate trigger discipline discourse when it comes to little details like in the x files how Mulder has terrible trigger discipline belying his character as sort of a crank while Scully is the consummate professional with her firearm handling.

That's fine.

geordi-yes "I feel very strongly about my position regarding this topic when that is the current discussion."

geordi-no sees picture of gun "Heh... guys... TRIGGER DISCIPLINE amirite?" smuglord someone exists somewhere "I bet that civvie calls it a 'clip,' heh." smuglord

I mean, jesse-wtf is how I feel when I see a sudden explosion of trigger discipline word drops in the internet wild, too.

[-] Frank@hexbear.net 16 points 4 weeks ago

Okay but consider it is, hands down and without exception, the most important safety practice when handling a firearm. It should be hammered in to the heads of every person who might encounter a gun.

[-] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 7 points 4 weeks ago

I agree.

It's still annoying to me when it's barked out by a bunch of approval-seeking internet tacticools because a picture of a gun appeared on the screen.

This. I'm ok with older games without ironsights, doesn't distract me, but a modern one? Just put that damn thing on your game fuck dammit.

[-] Frank@hexbear.net 3 points 4 weeks ago

It would be an utterly different game. It wouldn't be counter-strike at all.

common UlyssesT W

bottom-speak not shooting your friends is a good virtue to signal (what's the shortcode for the guy at the Town Hall again?)

(CW: massive Undertale spoiler)

Do spoiler warnings have an expiration date?

Not necessarily, but if I was just getting started I'd appreciate that one. sans-shrug
