If you have any experience with the game Counterstrike, reach out to me. Email is in my profile. I run a small, bootstrapped B2C business and have a number of interesting projects I could hand off to people.

It’s a weird prerequisite, but without it there generally isn’t enough context to do meaningful work sans a lot of hand holding.

Haha, I am global / ~3000 ELO Faceit player, curious what do you do with regards to CS?

His website states he is affiliated with popflash.site, which you probably have heard of.

How many hours should I play before reaching out? I'm only sort of kidding.

In all seriousness, a few hundred hours in recent years. I could definitely work with people who have none, but it ends up being more effort on my part and negates the hand-off effect.

Ah recent years..

I was #16 in clanbase globally for a brief period in CS1.6 way back when - I've always thought I was wasting my life at that point, but now I see I should have stuck with it :D

Are the projects all development related?

Most likely either building bots, in-game automation, or related to some sort of trading system for virtual assets.

I am curious, why the weird requirement?
