I've been enjoying the game so far, but it's been hard to ignore the game's apparent shortcomings whenever they arise. I happened to notice these horned toads just.. running at Rivet, whenever she remains still, and only attacking when she moves around. This came just after a mini-boss segment, where I stood at a slightly elevated cliff, and the boss could only throw rocks at me while standing completely still, unable to actually charge me down. It's a slightly buggy experience so far, to say the least of it. Still, been enjoying what I've played so far, just wish these moments wouldn't stick out like a sore thumb.

I was just waiting for this to happen. I cannot believe how chaotic this controller launch was. Hopefully they restock soon, but pulling the banner out of the blue seems very discouraging.

I haven't really used groups on Steam since the early 2010s frankly, and it's really sad to see that this is what they've seemingly been reduced to. Giant congregations of bot accounts. You'd be hard-pressed to find actual people in this group in particular, but I don't doubt for a second that this is just one of many cases, where there's seemingly more bots than actual people occupying the group. I could literally go through the list all day, and it would continuously be endless swaths of bot accounts.

I know there isn't a solve-all to the bot problem on Steam, but this just seems absolutely absurd to me. How groups like these can consist of hundreds of thousands of accounts, and they're virtually all bots. CS2 is obviously a very big game, but I could never take its high player count seriously when these are the accounts padding out its numbers. Dead internet theory just hits me full swing with this kind of stuff.

Just happened to come upon this revelation after I saw a scene which happened to look very close to the thumbnail for Lara's gameplay trailer, and it gave me a laugh. Reminded me of those DLSS 5 memes that were going around a little while back. I don't even dislike her in-game appearance, but I suppose someone in marketing felt unhappy with it, and believed only AI would rectify the issue.

I join it, see a bunch of basic obstacles no one's doing, and then the entire server centralized within a corner, unboxing fake CS skins worth fake money. Why is this the most popular game on s&box right now, is there something that I'm missing or are people actually losing their minds?
