I do love that everyone is so nice towards huntsman snipers. As was said, it’s absolutely because getting shot from mid to close range with a projectile just feels less bullshit than getting deleted from the other side of the map, and feels like the sniper had to manage positioning, moving, evading, and predicting instead of just Click On Head.

OH HEY THAT'S ME AT 24:48 For context, I had recently joined a competitive 6s team and was basically told "go play pubs and get better." So I hopped into Uncletopia because no crits, only to get completely rolled by unbalanced teams. Definitely a compounding of frustrations and tilt at my own lack of abilities mixed with the pub coinflip factor. The existential crisis I had at 10:00 because I've been in a depression zombie state just "going through the motions" for 3 years and have just now snapped out and started pursuing my goals and dreams again actually brought me to tears.

2:18 Fun fact: this feature is called PiP(Picture in Picture). You just right click the video(or right click twice for youtube) and click PiP.

You can also play multiple at the same time for maximum brain damage, overloading, overwhelming, exploding, imploding, kugelblitzing, rotting, withering, supernova, big bang, melting, vaporizing, overstimulation.

[@Shirge]

PS: A few years ago, PiP used to be capsble of background play. However nowadays when you try it the thing just dissappears and stops playing. Also, the youtube app on mobile can use PiP. You just need to pray Susan Wjsfjdustdhhfc for good luck. Don't mind the fact that it removes all filters on your screen and flashbangs you while it's zooming out and adjusting.

I personally cannot wait for an hour-long huntsman montage from you. Even if it doesn't end up being that long, I'll always appreciate more huntsman content from you. Behind your trolldier stuff, it's easily my second favorite video style for you. Also, if you ever end up making another DRG video, I feel the need to point out that there IS technically a shovel pickaxe blade in the game: The back blade of the Reaper's Claw set, unlocked through assignments. You can also randomly find the Hole Digger back blade in lost packs, but I feel like Reaper's Claw is closer to what you want.
