CSGO is so easy. You have no idea how little skill this game takes... Relative to Quake. Counter-Strike is an FPS series about killing still low health enemies. Everyone is easy to kill. Quake is the exact opposite of this game and the skill demand is excessive (which is a good thing). Characters move fast, can take a long time to kill, and can regenerate their health & armor. Good players can predict where you are, what health & armor you're at, and can control item respawn timers. How do you fight against that? In most 1v1s I play, I usually get onlyt 1 kill and my opponents usually get 40. 1v1s take a long time to set up and I'm simply not at the level where I merely know how to win, let alone compete in a game populated only by die hard veterans. It's like Melee between Brawl's launch and EVO 2013. Only die hard veterans played the game and it had a big skill gap. But that was easier

 

Sadly, PC FPSs aren't good for making funny moments and all that's needed to make them in Melee are taunts and Peach's down smashes. There's sadly not much reason to continue pursing my new channel's direction. It's impractical and worthless Most importantly, CSGO simply isn't anywhere nearly as fun as Quake. I feel like I play it only to get more content that'll make me lose more subscribers. And when I forget to check that I'm currently recording and I miss recording a potentially good moment, I hate myself I have considered testing a Melee stream to learn real world results of what would happen if I streamed/uploaded Melee content again. I hate seeing my channel slowly return to 0 subscribers because I've worked at this for 7 years. 7. Years. 7. But I'd also hate to play Melee

 

AlterKingZant, on the other hand, has hardly lost any subscribers because I've uploaded almost no videos to it during the last year or so. There's no reason anyone would notice the channel, making them want to unsubscribe. Maybe if my main channel goes into hibernation, I can retain my subscriber count until I'm good enough at Quake and when Quake Champions has launched. maybe I could gain 1st to market advantage to help get me views and subscribers. The community's super dead right now, even deader than Melee's post Brawl - pre EVO 2013 era. Quake has a huge reputation and could go through a revival similar to what Street Fighter, Marvel Vs Capcom, and Counter-Strike have gone through. No 1 is currently actively uploading Quake content on Youtube right now. The ones I've noticed that do don't have many subscribers. This chance is 1 of the reasons why I suicide reset my channel, so that I could upload moments of new games when the games are still new. If I never suicide uploaded, I would have started uploading my 1st CSGO moments in 2019

 

Sadly, doing it with OW has failed, but that's mainly because I hate advertising my videos. I feel like a shitty spammer, so I never ended up posting them. I've only done it to the Melee community because it's the Melee community. It once worked. When I started off, spamming videos on Reddit view boosted them by 1,000-2,000 views. By the end though, view boosts tended to only bring 100. My account rightfully got banned there, hahaa. I guess it's because Melee players suck dicks about anything involving Melee. IDK anything about the Quake community so I have no idea how they're respond to supposedly funny moments

 

For now, I'm just going to let my backlog of CSGO and some QL videos run out before I return to playing multiplayer games again. I'm going to practice 1v1ing against bots in Quake 3 Arena and Live on the 2nd hardest difficulty because my biggest problem is that I need to play more. I can't competently do anything. However, it's almost like playing against level 9s in Smash Bros. AI isn't intelligent. It's always better to play against humans because they're not stupid and they don't have exploitable patterns. I want to play against bots to brute force as many hours as I can into Quake. I need to develop Quake aim. Counter-Strike didn't improve my aim for that game's demands

 

But I won't be gone completely. If anyone wants me to play them in CSGO or OW, I'll happily accept any invite
