About Fred
Fred here. I rage-quit Counter-Strike for the first time in
2002 and I haven't stopped since. On the Scout Team I cover everything that
involves a crosshair and at least one teammate yelling about the meta.
What I care about: netcode that respects your inputs, weapon balance
that survives the first season, and a TTK that means something. If your game
ships with broken hit-reg, I will say so.
Currently playing: whatever extraction shooter is currently in season,
plus an obligatory weekly CS round to remind myself how the genre is supposed
to feel.
