No one: I REALLY want to see a Gibson Nighthawk.
Me: You're welcome.
The absolute pride of the current retinue here at Casa DeeBeeUs™, my 1993 Nighthawk Custom CS-2. I picked it up just over a week ago, thanks to my buddy @timallard and @gearmusicoakville, and I have never enjoyed playing any guitar as much as I enjoy this one. It's perfect for me in every way.
Also making an appearance here, for the first time in well over a month: my 1970 Marshall Model 2022 Lead 20!
If you follow my amp tech, @marshalllespaulfan, you'll have seen this amp on his feed recently, as it was with him for servicing. Well not the amp per se...the amp was fine. It was the cabinet that needed servicing. I was foolishly carrying it down the stairs with the cable plugged into the back, and it hit the wall. *SNAP*, I broke the 1/4" jack right off inside the cabinet. Note to self: unplug cables before carrying cabs through tight spaces. 😭
Anyhoo: MLPF fixed it right up and it's good as new. And let me tell you, these two make a fearsome pair! 🤘😂

valve can do whatever they want with their own games on their own platform i guess but CS2 is literally just the CS:GO steam page with all the text and images changed.
You can see that the release date isn't the actual CS2 release date, and the user tags don't need changing, but there's 2 things about this that are pretty scummy.
CS2 replaces CS:GO
The CS:GO reviews are now CS2's
There's some pretty significant differences between CS:GO and CS2 under the hood. I can't say how much this affects gameplay between the 2 but if it's anything like TF2 I know some people are going to be pretty dissappointed that their movement tech might not work anymore.
Far worse, the system requirements for CS2 are pretty significantly higher than CS:GO. To be expected of two games released 11 years apart, but the games industry has a pretty big problem right now of making hardware a huge barrier to entry.
Both of these problems would be non-issues if CS:GO still existed, you could just chose to play that instead, but Valve doesn't want you to keep playing one of the most popular multiplayer shooters ever, they made a shiny new toy in their shiny new engine and they want everyone to play with that instead.
Here's where the reviews come in. No matter what the community response to CS2 is, it's going to be completely swallowed whole by a decade of their own positive sentiments for the game that's been replaced. That "Very Positive" reviews tag is going to stay up there forever unless every player for years hates it, not just a few dedicated fans right now.
Not to mention the blatant apathy towards media preservation shown by wiping the old game off every player's hard drive.

de_pitts alpha release!
for the past few days I've been working on a new map for Counter-Strike 2.
de_pitts is a defuse map set in the hills just on the edges of Pittsburgh. a church and a local pawn shop are bomb targets. creep through tight alleyways, trudge through flooded basements, and fight across backlots.
I tried to keep this map super small while having a lot of pathways and routes crossing over and under each other. i'm not much of a counterstrike player so it's hard to say how it'll play, balance-wise.
that's why I'm opening it up to an alpha test. I'd like to get some feedback on overall map layout and if it plays well. it still has dev textures so aesthetics are less of a concern at this point (though i tossed a few props around where i thought it needed them for cover)
Please play it and let me know what you think! be as critical as you can (but be nice. be constructive)
the map can be downloaded here:
(by the way, if you didn't know, counterstrike 2 is free to play!)

Praying to the csgo gods right now to get a weekly drop good enough to afford Risk of Rain 2 while it's on sale.
Have this Meow Skulls doodle in the meanwhile.
