CS Chronicles: 1,800 Hours Across Eras

Counter-Strike has been my competitive home since the CSGO days — 1,800 hours and counting. I still miss cobblestone's chaotic charm and the fast-paced fun of Arms Race on Safehouse and Monastery. Their removal in CS2 left a nostalgia-shaped hole, but Dust 2 remains my familiar, comforting playground.

Now, after intense sessions in Nightreign or other Souls games, I return to Dust 2 to reset, relax, and remind myself that sometimes the simplest classics are where the mind unwinds best. It's my digital decompression chamber — no lore, no bosses, just clean angles, crisp shots, and the satisfying rhythm of a game that never gets old.
