@ModernWarzone “Casual” but no solos. Haven’t tried it yet. That said, there’s NO support or place for true casuals who don’t want to hyper sweat against cheaters and/or cracked out wall jump 360 no scope insta head shot clip hunters in any CoD product I’ve tried for years. Last year I buy.

@rohanvarma I still do a lot of surgical editing of code with agent. Not being able to easily drag files from vs code in (and @ references not to working if the file isnt tracked by git (assuming that’s the reason)) makes this annoying. Prefer in-IDE chat for most daily use for that reason.

@OpenAIDevs Woulda been nice to know that after I paid $40 to top up credits I still wouldn't be getting gpt-5.3-codex... The VS Code chat window still shows 5.3 selected, but it's definitely not using it. Wouldn't have paid to downgrade...

(LOVE 5.3 though. Great work on that.)

@AlphaOwlTrading @milesdeutscher So signals. Which computers are great at processing. How do you know that hormone based signaling is the only way to facilitate “feeling?” I’m not saying “we’re there,” but I do think we should be careful how easily we toss the notion of sentience or agency because “hormones.”

@Alibaba_Wan Now make it open source and we’ll care a whole lot more…

@reaperreapzz 95% of my games are vs sweaty movement nerds, all of whom are better than me, many of whom I'm very sure are also running cronus/cheats (I have 0 faith in Ricochet). I'm too old and employed to devote more than 2 hours a day to "just get better." I try not to quit, but it's hard.

[Fitzy Codes Things @FitzyCodes]

@TheMW2Ghost That's what minimally considered MEANS. If skill was heavily considered (like it WAS with old SBMM), we WOULDN'T have so many mismatched lobbies where my 41 year old tired ass is literally matched with JoeWo. Minimal means LESS consideration of skill, so more skill gap.

[Fitzy Codes Things @FitzyCodes]

@fakeDABOMB101 @KeshavBhat That's definitely possible. I think the problem is that the skill gap is too large. A single REALLY good player can shit on an entire lobby of average to below average casuals. Casuals should face casuals, pros should face pros, at least the VAST MAJORITY of the time.

[Fitzy Codes Things @FitzyCodes]

@G_L_O_P @KeshavBhat I'm not saying I should have a special league of CDL that I can win and show off my e-medal. I'm saying I paid to purchase this game and should get to enjoy it. You want to be the star pro league athlete that gets to shit on little leaguers who just want to play the game.

[Fitzy Codes Things @FitzyCodes]

@janclok7_8 @CODWarfareForum Everyone likes to feel like a god sometimes. I get the appeal. But Olympians don't race against average high school students. 50 year old guys aren't forced to play basketball against NBA draftees to keep enjoying the game. There's room for everyone.

[Fitzy Codes Things @FitzyCodes]

@CODWarfareForum I'd be fine with something in between. I should never have JoeWo in my lobby (actually happened). But I'm okay with SOMETIMES getting even much higher skilled players in the mix. But having 1 game where we can maybe break even for 10 where we get shit on is how the game dies.

[Fitzy Codes Things @FitzyCodes]

@CODWarfareForum No. I'm 41. I have a career, a wife, and a house to take care of. I have other hobbies. I can't dedicate 2 hours to aim training before I spend 4 hours grinding every day. And I'm the one who can afford the bullshit battle passes and bundles to keep the fucking servers online.

[Fitzy Codes Things @FitzyCodes]

@CODWarfareForum More fun than going 12 and 30 for 10 games against Adderall and Celsius fueled movement maxers who I might catch a glimpse of just in time to eat a cross map triple tap headshot before I can even move my stick? Yep.

[Fitzy Codes Things @FitzyCodes]

@omgitsbirdman Incorrect. I've tried since launch to have fun in Open. It isn't fun. I'm a casual, average skilled player. It's not fun to get shit on by movement demon mega sweats game after game to get MAYBE 1 match in 20 that I can enjoy. Standard SBMM is how I can have fun.

[Fitzy Codes Things @FitzyCodes]

@Geek4PM @ostrisai Hard to tell much diff with my old eyes, but it SEEMED like it learned the likeness a good bit earlier (500 fewer steps), and at the far end of training, it was picking up finer details (textures, etc.) a little better with less overbaking. Almost imperceptible changes though.

[Fitzy Codes Things @FitzyCodes]

@TheXclusiveAce To be clear: good for them. I just want to play a video game, have fun, try to improve, etc. I have no chance to TRY to get better against these folks, much less enjoy the game. And for those who LOVE stomping us, we'll go do other things, and then who will you be facing?

[Fitzy Codes Things @FitzyCodes]

@TheXclusiveAce There is ZERO place for casuals/those not mega skilled anymore. I'm not the WORST player, but I'm definitely average to below (I'm 41 and have a job). With or without SBMM, I feel like 9/10 matches are against movement demons who instasnap to my head before I even see them.
