ladies and gentlemen
the day has come
a day when I can finally say with absolute confidence, tears of relief in my eyes, and a feeling only someone who just got gaslit by a video game and won can understand (dw, I’m emotionally stable after that incident, probably), that all this time it was not me
it was not my perception of the game or my skill, not the backless stool that threatens to betray me every match, and not the cat that jumps on my desk right as I peek long doors as a t
my paranoia, the one I carried for years, the belief that cs has been stealing bullets, not registering my most obvious kill shots, and letting enemies see me first without giving me even the slightest chance, was not paranoia
for the first time since cs2 launched, I gathered the strength to download the demo to make sure the vodka I drink does not contain hallucinogens
story time
I peek an enemy, fire three shots, although I even remember the game showing four, and then I die like a godless bot
my teammate picks up my kalashnikov and what does he see
29 / 30
twenty nine out of thirty
so according to the game I fired three bullets but somehow only one left the magazine
where are the other two?
did they end up in another lobby and count as someone else’s lucky shot?
are bullets subject to inflation now?
is valve experimenting with subscription based ammunition?
I recorded the replay, made a clip, and now I come to you all not to cry, not to complain, but to seek the truth
by the way, from the enemy’s pov it literally shows me shooting zero bullets
according to his pov I just stared at him and accepted my fate
WHERE ARE MY BULLETS
let us investigate and uncover the mystery
