Again there is still a difference in DNS resolving, even with local caching. Cached domains have a time-to-live (TTL) which can vary. What is the TTL for domains used by TF2 and Steam?

That's why I use -textmode to bypass the input lag of disk plattered array stored graphics drivers on my $350 HP netbook my parents got me that I also run arch on via SSH straight from the mainframe!

"ignoring caches" ah yes let me query the root servers every time i make a request
wtf are u on dude cause u need to get off that asap

i'm pretty sure this is just a very elaborate shitpost and everyone is falling for it

bro make sure u download all ur music in flac as well, cause if u download lossy compressed music u will be a victim to rotational velocidensity and the quality loss year on year is massive

I listen to all my mp3 files backwards afterwards just in case smh

i bet you resolve your mainframe's url with your isp's default dns you filthy casual

no, i wouldnt dare go on the internet! cant risk anyone tracking all my Arbys visits!!!1!

would using a VPN while playing improve my fps by 5 or 10 frames

my [OFFICIAL][UNFINISHED][UNTESTED][FULLY-ORGANIC][VEGAN-FREE][GONE-WRONG][GONE-S3XUAL] answer is:

idk prob whatever mastercoms thinks lol

i bet u dont even download your hitsounds in flac format, u need a new alias buddy

I've changed all my gamesounds to the markdown format, as the performance gains are immeasurable!

RGL admins pls don't ban me

You found some new launch options. mastercomfig has already been documenting the live game's launch options and which ones to use for years.

In Source and Steam, DNS names are resolved once on connect/query. Then it uses the IP directly. Each packet send does not resolve the domain name again.

Did you think that it was resolving DNS 66 times per second or something? How would it affect performance?

Also, I don't mean to discourage you from trying new things, but I do encourage you to learn, and collaborate with others rather than spontaneously release something like this, with information against what others have advised before.

Luv u mastercoms <3

The man's named "AimIsADick" and we're still somehow not sure he's trolling? Idk what to tell you.

Good point…

Yeah and I can't believe I even thought that. I still think changing DNS servers is important, but more as an OS optimization and less of a TF2 one.

I did ask for feedback earlier on, but I did it only on this site (and that was a huge mistake), so I pretty much done it without any feedback.

bro its 2021 u need to stop using italics for emphasis (thats some cringe)

i promise u will be 1000x happier and more successful if u put your time towards literally anything else than trying to reinvent the wheel recreating mastercoms' work optimizing a 14 year old dead game

maybe if u went to college and took a single class on computer science u would understand how DNS worked (lucky for u theres a million online courses and lectures to watch and educate yourself for free)

you got a lot of feedback

Those were all users telling me to give up. I thought at first they were just being dicks like they always have (it started after I said "übersaw is overrated trash imo"), but now I'm realizing that they had a good point.

I wasn't trying to reinvent the wheel at all. Was just trying to clarify some stuff, but ultimately that did not go well.

But college is unnecessarily expensive and it feels like a huge scam considering the (I haven't researched yet) chances of actually landing a job that you worked your degree for these days. I still fear being 4 years in college and graduating only to not land a single job that I got my degree for.

(Reminder that this guide is unfinished and I specifically marked it as such.)

College can help a lot with getting a job, but it's obviously not the only path to getting a job. But if you don't go to college, you have to make up for it a lot with solid networking, applying for tons of jobs, and having strong outside stuff on your resume. Disregarding the job stuff, education is good for you anyways, even if you don't get it at college. It'll help you perform well in your life and job. You seem like an eager high school student, put your energy into research and learning and then you can come back to stuff once you've built up with learning and practice!

Your guide is completely unfocused, unresearched and highly opinionated, most people just see that as a lost cause. In your guide you tell people to stop using Steam. Sure, out of context it's technically correct that you can close Steam to free up resources but don't you see how rediculous that is to include in your TF2 optimisation guide?

dozens of people telling you what you are writing is blatantly wrong maybe you listen
no, seriously
i was going to reassure you and tell you maybe you should focus on getting better at the game instead, or find someting better to waste your time on this game like making friends, or exploring the gamemodes, or practicing dm

what you are instead doing is keep posting "easily digestible performance guides" and giving out advice on a forum filled with people who have thousands of hours in the game, with, evidently lack of expertise in all of the topics you mention

i dont want to deduce your age, intellectual level or mental health state, and immediately come across as rude,(which i am to be fair) i just want to hit you with a reality check - everything about your posts on this forum seem out of place, including but not limited to: the knowledge you posess, the formatting, the persistence in which you post and respond with, the inability to think critically of yourself and evaluating your posts, incredible lack of self projection in compliance with the audience you are trying to slip this to

literally, last month a guy posted an obvious copypaste to which unsurprisingly, you unironically responded only reinforcing my view on you as incapable to critically think, evaluate and self project

take your time, take your time with your posts, take your time with your life, if anything you are running out of it, all while pointlessly spending it on a videogame forum where unfortunately you are of little help, fighting against the crowd, which in a society has next to none success rate

take fucking care

I cant wait for that results of that research

Thanks for the support!

This was the feedback I needed! In any case that was just meant to be an example, but I can see how absurd it seems. P.S Exactly what parts of this unfinished guide seem unfocused, unresearch, or highly opinionated?

I was just messing with them; I obviously knew it was a copypasta.

Salted, buttered popcorn is my favourite type of popcorn

the desserty caramel popcorn is top tier as a snack but for movies u def should get normal salty popcorn

Rahmeds proper performance guide on popcorn [UNFINSHED] when?

movie theater popcorn is infinitely better than microwave popcorn

I don't really know about AimIsADick skills in this project, it looks like you want to help and it's good but you should work more deeply into things before posting.

At the end I just feel bad for you to being nuke in every answer you get.
