@4:27 Paraphrased: "Act like a professional and be someone that others Like working with" This, sooo much this. People are more than happy to work around small knowledge gaps and train you that last 10% into being good at a role when you're a desirable human being to interact and collaborate with. Most underrated advice in this video, applicable throughout life.

Legit tips also for outside of gaming industry. I like the way u think 👍

No joke, this was so inspirational; maybe its the positive and down to earth way of yours, but it really gave me as the biggest pessimistic pos a glimpse of hope... Thank you!

Can you make a aim lab task for micro motions with a tiny strafing ball (like the stafing enemies from afar in CSGO or Valorant)

[@MT_Abyss]

Ron I’m having trouble improving my game sense/iq. I know how to drill myself and grind the raw mechanics, but in game sense is so hard to train. Any tips ?

[@RuiPalmeira]

I know you asked Rambo, but the only way of getting awareness about whats going in game, is to play and watch vods/demos of players that have a similar playstyle to yours, and drill as many scenarios as possible. There is no "trick", its hard work.

[@MT_Abyss]

@@RuiPalmeira thanks for your input bro! I have been dropping solo in quads on warzone and do feel like after a few days of doing this I’m slowly getting better. I also try watching high level streamers often.

[@portkaladma5196]

Ron i want to ask something i want to play with my wrist but my right wrist movement is soo bad so when i trying to flick to the right, my crosshair cant go wherever i want. what do you think about it and also my arm movements are soo bad i dont feel comfortable. i want to play with my wrist i dont know what should i do? can you give to me advice for what should i do(i am sorry for my english and also my arm aiming sensitivity is 400 dpi 0.45 and left side movement of my wrist 2 times more than right side) i think you understand what im trying to say

[@professional8284]

I dont think so sir, 1.01 to the power of 365 is arround what is shown on the slide. its just math

[@FCBarcelonaXMI]

@@professional8284 I don't think you know how percents work. 1.01^365 = 37.78 which is about 37 TIMES greater than one. 37 percent greater than one would be 1.37

[@ryangause6443]

Little inspirational note to change from this video: if you improve 1% every day for a year, you won’t be 37% better, you will be 37 TIMES better. As in 3700% better. The magic of compounding.

[@violaqueeni7836]

Can you please do a video about low sensitivity wrist aiming

[@raiko8761]

Hey whenever I look at my crosshair I find it harder to flick on opponents but when I’m not looking at my crosshair just having it at head level near an angle I feel like if I look at the enemy peeking I can rely on my muscle memory and flick and instantly land a head shot rather then just staring at my crosshair and waiting for the person to peek and kind of lose out on speed of my flick if I was just relying on muscle memory should I stare at my crosshair or should I stare at enemies when I peek and let my muscle memory to the micro adjustment

[@rafaelvictor3693]

Ron do the side buttons of the mouse being used to crouch hinder the aiming consistency?

[@ronrambokim]

Yes definitely. Using items and abilities for side buttons are fine, but would not recommend crouch

[@rafaelvictor3693]

Thank you very much Ron, your videos helped me to improve my aim a lot, I adjusted my table to the right height and now I'm going to change this crouch button, I'm a PUBG player, so I use the crounch button a lot and felt that sometimes my aim was inconsistent because of that, someday i will send you a donate as a way of thanking you for all the help you and your videos gave me

[@marksantos1764]

Jon, talk about the fingers in mousegrip, if they must be touch the mousepad when aiming... What you think about it ?

[@crisnmaryfam7344]

thats a personal preference thing and will differ per person based on what mouse they use and how big their hand is or long their fingers are...

[@marksantos1764]

@@crisnmaryfam7344 Sorry if the question seems silly, but I think the mousegrip is extremely important. You may notice that your performance changes drastically if you change grips, thanks for sharing your opinion with me!

[@calmsh0t]

As someone who worked in the gaming industry, believe me 90% of you DONT want to work in this industry, you only think you want to. You get poorly paid, you have bad working conditions, you have a large competition and you rarely get a contract that lasts longer than a year or if you are lucky a project.

[@realdude1035]

[@azrrrrrrrr]

in which part of gaming industry did you work? i would realy like to work as concept artist and as i love games it would be dream job to be artist for a game

[@calmsh0t]

@@azrrrrrrrr I don't want to share too many details but some things I can say. I worked in the AAA industry for a studio under a big publisher. For gaming industry standarts it was a pretty good working place, but still not comparable to other industries when it comes to benefits and job security. Artist is a very very very tough position. Especially concept artists have a very hard time since you don't need a lot of them and often even hire contractor studios to make concept arts for cheap. 3D Artists are in a slightly better position, but still the 2nd worst when it comes down to job security and payment, after QA. For concept art there are two routes to go, just like for 3D artists. You can do characters or environments. Character Artists earn a bit more, but studios also need way less of them. No matter which of these you are aiming for, keep in mind that your skill needs to be incredible. Not just okay, not good, I really mean INCREDIBLE. Therefore I can only advice you to take this route if you are 100% certain that this is absolutely the job you want to do and therefore work extremely hard on your artistic skills. Just for completion, the highest paid position in a studio are programmers. And even they are only earning 60-70% of the wage that a regular programmer gets. Also, don't let yourself get fooled by websites like Glassdoor and others. The wages they write on their site are almost always higher than what the studio really pays. If you want realistic opinions and numbers, try to connect with some people who are actually working there. Hope I could give some insight. Good luck on your way :)

[@olicsa]

I have a question. if you have multiple of those skills such as programming, level designing, sculpting, and playtesting, can you then work with all or some of those skills, or do you have to pick one?

[@ronrambokim]

In general, the more you specialize in a skill, the more likely to be hired

[@Sm00thieK]

I know it is different for everyone, but can you please tell me your table height from the floor? I really need that value. My Table height is 75cm and when i place my arm on the table, the angle between my abdomen and my arm(where biceps are at) is more than 45 degree. So it's almost like if i am laying on the table. Please tell me your table height so i can get a rough idea so the abdomen-arm angle is less than 20 degrees atleast, 0 is what i am aiming for.

[@stormzn9500]

Hey Ron! I have the issue that i "clear" angles but i don't really watch at them. Is this a known issue? Keep it up!

[@riastr0]

That's pretty normal in fps games. I'd reccommend just visuallizing people holding each corners so you can get in a habit of clicking heads on reaction. All in All, it just gets better with experience tbh.

[@jack710i2]

ron please help me i don't understand how people are soo good in valorant i used to play apex and csgo and i feel happy cuz i can hit my shot i can learn the recoil and most importantly i understant the game so im abble to win but in val i cant even kill 1 guy even if i get a kill it was becouse im lucky the recoil in val is so random i do 2 shot burst and from 6 times i burst only 2 of them are acurate some go left some go right and some even dont have recoil and it's not even a spray it's a 2 bullet burst please help i'm sad i'm losing my mind what should do to be better at this game

[@wildmoza]

Can u please reply? I'm currently immortal in valorant which means I'm a good player and yes me aim is so good, my edpi is 309 but I want to be even faster and do more flicks so I raised it to 350, will I get used to it as I got used to the old one and be good and even better again or I'm just messing up my muscle memory and wasting time

"How to find a job in gaming": 1. Take a chance and hope you'll be that 1 out of 100,000 gamer who makes it professionally, and even IF you make it your game/career/popularity will probably fizzle out in a few years. 2. Learn a marketable skill that doesn't really use much of your previous gaming knowledge (it's a bonus - they won't care if you don't play games as long as you can code/design/produce) Please don't become a QA tester. They're temp workers subject to massive layoffs, poor working conditions, expected overtime and have very little career mobility. Sorry to burst your dreams everyone. Just get a real job. I was a signed professional gamer getting paid a full salary for 2 years and while it taught me some things, I didn't help me advance my life.

[@alxeric4031]

@@keenangsc8130 Not really, I'm just realistic. I play casual competitive now and have to go back to school to finish the degree I put on hold to pursue esports because it didn't work out. I'm not saying it won't work out for everyone, but I was already that 1 in 100k lucky enough to make it into the pro scene and look how it turned out for me. A small minority make it to pro, an even smaller minority can stay relevant. See for yourself, go look at old posts from large orgs who have dropped players from their roster TL, 100T, TSM, NRG etc and see how many of those guys are still relevant today and didn't just drop off the internet after a year or two. I don't want to see people making the same mistakes I did. Try and pursue your dreams but have a backup plan because it's going to be a real bitch being a 20-something with no life skills because you spent your youth pursuing gaming instead of building marketable skills, getting an education, and making connections.

@@keenangsc8130 Saying something over and over again doesn't make it true. The other guy provided anecdotal evidence and justified his point. You should do the same if you believe otherwise. Positivity and motivation aren't the only ingredients to success. Everyone you see on the internet says "Just give it your all and you'll make it" but they don't realise there are hundreds of thousands of people giving it their all and not making it, because that's just life. I'm not saying that you shouldn't try, you definitely should, but make sure you have a backup plan. That's all.

I started watching your aiming videos more after losing to this guy in Roblox Arsenal 2 times. He's been playing for 6 months only while I played for 3 years so I am just learning more so I can finally beat him. You know how it feels to have a guy with lesser experience beat you... especially twice. But still tho, he was really fun to play with and we were both very competitive.
