Hey 👋, Just wanna clarify about how it might have looked like I tried to streamsnipe you on map 06. That's actually not true, I was just playing the map trying to get ats too on some maps, 06 looked like a track that was interesting while I was playing I saw wirtual live so thought just checking it out. Then I saw him playing the campaign too, but right when I clicked on the stream 2 mins later he opened map 06 aswell. So at that point we were kinda both going for wr. You could also see me climbing on the lb. But then in the end right when I got it the next run wirtual got just beat my wr. He def deserved the wr, but kinda felt sad that people thought of me streamsniping. All thought great video and once again sorry for the confusion ❤️

It's not entirely bullshit. There actually _are_ differences in personalities. But the best descriptor of those differences isn't just those four (binary) axes of variance. The "sixteen personalities" scale _was_ the most current science a decade or two ago, but psychology and personality science has advanced since then.

[@asailijhijr]

Maybe what I said above wasn't super clear. The particle theory of matter isn't accurate, it doesn't describe crystals or ideal gases, it doesn't describe electrical conductivity or biochemistry; but it's still taught in seventh grade. It's an incomplete theory, a useful simplification. It's an earlier theory that was disproven about a hundred years ago. But it's still a good stepping stone to understanding the full picture.

Now Wirt is pissed when people are playing at the same time as him and flames them as "stream snipers". Ofc it can be frustrating but blurring the names, really? Just give them credit and recognize that you aren't a TM god and that out of many people who are playing with, some of them will beat you. I'd like to see Wirtual being content with a humble "pushing the WR" as a community. And not as the really disconnected "he" vs. "rest of the world".

He's a streamer but he's player just like everyone, it'd be annoying to not get a world record just because you streamed.

[@Kiwi2703]

@@Toalen I'm sorry but that's really not a good take. First off, everyone including Wirtual watches the WR ghosts very often and "copies" the paths, then tries to execute them faster. That's exactly what the other players or "snipers" as you called them do. The streamer doesn't own the map or the game and everyone else is absolutely within their rights to observe other players and try to hunt the map too. It also takes significant amount of skill to execute the same route but even faster than one of the best players, which the player deserves props for. Second off, many "stream snipers" are mislabeled - even in the video the editor had to include a note that the guy was hunting the map even before Wirtual started playing it, and then Wirtual with his audience calls them a stream sniper because of the negative stigma they're creating. They're setting a bad (and often ill-informed) precedent about just normal people hunting the map in the same way the streamers are, well within their right. Wirtual should stop being petty and salty about it, stop pushing the negative stigma and prove he's a better player by getting even better times. If not, then just admit someone else is better and not be cocky about it.
