"There’s no way to turn Windows Update off. Microsoft says feature updates will be tested on consumer devices before they’re rolled out to business PCs."

(this is about win10 Home.)

do you know what his fix does, in the first place? because it's very unlikely that you will ever need it.
the only game i've ever played that needs it is the original cd-version of Quake 2.
(i presume they've fixed it for the steam-release of quake 2)

anyway; he's updated his blog-thing to "The MarkC Windows 10 + 8.1 + 8 + 7 Mouse Acceleration Fix", so i would presume he successfully updated the fix to work on Win10. my guess is that Win8 and Win10 are very similar in this regard.
you could always just test it with MMR (mouse movement recorder).

you're not wrong, but i've owned a couple of lower-end in-earphones from sennheiser and i was (positively) surprised with how the sound sounded, with some.

@OP
it's been mentioned already, but i would refrain from getting a headset. (but if you really must, then just get something cheap.)
otherwise, get separate pieces. because in 99% of the cases, you're just throwing away money when you get a headset. not just because they're overpriced, but mainly because there is so much better available when you get separate pieces.

also, just try not to drop your headphones ;p very few are 'made to be dropped'. it's really just a bunch of plastic, some glue, maybe some screws, etc. it's not so much the outside, but rather all the tinier things on the inside that will move/dislocate/detach when you drop your phones.
if you get anything above $60, then i would certainly try to treat them with some luv

i don't suppose you've ever made anything in 3840x1080? would be nice for my dual screen setup

i want these damn stickers

i've read that lightboosting works better on benq monitors, as opposed to asus ones. maybe that's why?
because on my asus vg248qe, it's definitely noticable. 144 (or even 120) easily beats 120-lightboosting when gaming.

edit: sorry for double post, i meant to edit

this. lightboost looks smooth and all, but the lag counters the smoothness too hard.
it also messes with your colors. which is not necessarily an issue, but it can be a hassle if you want to switch between lightboost and non-lightboost. or if you've spent some time getting your colors right, you'll probably have to start over again.
i could handle the slight lag just fine when on my desktop, but in any game it's incredibly annoying.

you could just get the free non-steam version and try it out. then it's up to you whether or not you support the developers by buying it on steam. (after reading some reviews, you might want to keep using the non-steam version anyway.)
my guess is that it won't be as smooth as actual fullscreen, but who knows!

there, at the bottom, is the download link to the installer.

wow, i'd never actually noticed the existence of this thread before.

it's very heartening to read all of the humane reactions of fellow-gamers : ) it's just great to see that a forum for some FPS is able to have a section where people can share their real-life struggles (or otherwise celebrations).

i've dealt with my share of sadness, in my personal life as well as professionally (social work). one thing you quickly learn as a person, is that each day houses a tremendous amount of ugliness; terrible stuff is happening everywhere, all the time.
so.. i do hope that everyone who's experiencing heavy stuff is realizing that he/she is not alone.

i'm already 26, but have been convinced for a while that there's no such thing as getting used to seeing fellow conscious organisms (with respect to our beloved pets) in pain. hence.. i just can not express how cool i think it is to see such sympathetic posts coming out of all of you : )

lastly; there're just too many posts to respond to,
but if anyone ever feels overwhelmed, please know that you can send me a PM about anything. i can't guarantee a fast response, but just sharing your feelings might already lower the weight a bit.

+1 for the compassionate posts, guys!

your post sounds mean / like a shitpost.. but it's actually exactly what i'm thinking.
looking at his prior posts/videos, i wouldn't be surprised if he's just "trolling"

you'd almost think that there's a reason for people to (want to) use windowed mode.
i guess the developer(s) of this tool didn't realize there was such a thing like fullscreen mode,
maybe you should inform them

if you're using a script, then try the regular binds to see if that makes a difference.

you're right, it is a cool flag.

give us Benelux

why would 1 minute of sketchy play be nullified by 29 minutes of non-sketchy play?
it's not very hard to toggle cheats on and off or to try to make it look like you're legit. it's a sport that comes with cheating.
i think what rickjames is doing is exactly right; accumulate sketchy moments, and go over them.

if boar is cheating, then he is obviously trying to not make it blatant.
personally.. i think he cheats.

at any rate, +1 for looking into it rickjames

why? it's just a union, not a country. besides, belgium, luxembourg and the netherlands are options already
