   There's this dude that's an absolute MONSTER when it comes to aiming in FPS games, but he spends ALL of his time in Kovaak's. There's like 3 videos on his YT of him actually playing a game (Overwatch) and he's a beast. I can't tell if he's incredibly based for stripping out all the extraneous details of his FPS experience and focusing solely on aiming and clicking for enjoyment, or if he's lost sight of the forest through the trees.

     @icedquinn How many hours? I've used it for a while now and it's definitely improved my aim by a lot. Also screw them, they're crabs in a bucket.

     @icedquinn You don't even need hundreds, tbh. I have about 83hrs and I've seen big improvement - granted, I was a complete beginner beforehand. The nice thing about Kovaak's is that it completely gets rid of the downtime between fights, so it's a lot more "dense" from a training perspective. The biggest thing is consistency - you can only really get so good in a single day, you need some time to rest in-between.

     @corceeeee no idea. i have different computers now and didn't try again.
     
     it was some really specific issue involving the realtek chipset on amdfx machines. there were other games with the same issue but they were nice enough to provide workarounds :blobcatgoogly:
     
     anyway i don't play shooters anymore

     @icedquinn That's weird. I don't use AMD stuff but it might have changed since then.
