We are in no particular order presenting the journey to the top 10 maps in our Big Adventures Contest. Today we are starting with Golden, a map made by vachinsky and wavybby, set on a remote island somewhere in the Pacific Ocean. 🌊

Fair enough if millions of people like me have chosen to sacrifice sound quality for price, variety and convenience. But what threw me is that I didn’t know that’s what I’d done - I’d just forgotten how amazing music used to sound.

you don't need verification if your posts are pure slay tho. saying. like as we learned earlier I'm the most followed music account on here but impersonators know not to even try. they cannot slay like I do. in their hearts they know this. true verification is when they know this in their hearts

Used on the new Train remake in #cs2, these windows use the Transmissive Backface Ndotl feature in the Csgo_Complex shader. This allows lights to pass through the backfaces while also lighting up the glass mesh itself. Very neat trick!

Trying something new and scary by not using the most bland skybox that every other csgo map used to use. Here's to our varied and colourful future

moving from hammer4 to hammer5:

pros: no longer constrained by BSP
cons: having to comprehend the eldritch no-backface horrors you've made for yourself.
