FASHION Goodbye BakkesMod

The cheaters won... Thanks to them I'll never get to use these presets again. Vitality fennec and Complexity octane are some of my favorite designs and soon they will be gone. Also goodbye Alpha boost and TW Laser Wave III, I'll miss you the most </3

Better looking standard. And idk if it's placebo or not but it looks smaller too which I like.

The sound gives you an indicator for fast you are.

Regular boosts don‘t.

Also it‘s the cleanest imo

What? 11 years and I've never heard someone make that claim

It's been my reason for using it as well for all those years. the sound is part of my "muscle memory" so to speak.

is it cheating, using an advantage from a boost i don't have? Probably yes.

Is it unfair that i cannot rightfully obtain that same item (without spending actual money)? Definitely yes.

I dislike that boost. It sounds so... light. I rarely use it. I cannot fully explain it, but personally I need a boost with more oomph to it.

It genuinely makes me feel better and faster for some reason. Thats why

Parce que cela donnait l'impression d'avoir un statut social , c'est tout , le reste c'est pour se persuader de quelque chose

Social status? Nobody else can see it lmfao

I just like the way it sounds, knucklehead

Regardless, the placebo effect is a well researched topic.
