#2398
I'm holding off until further notice.

Starting a build. Would love any advice.

GOALS:
Plays modern competitive fps games at 144hertz + streaming.
Willing to compromise game quality for performance, especially for maximizing refresh rate.
Need monitor. Single monitor setup. Between 24" and 27" is fine. Curious about ultra low motion blur.
Flexible budget around $700 USD. Can time with technology releases and sales.

Specs:
<1TB storage
1SSD+HDD
MicroATX
single GPU
3-4 USB ports
OC is fine

Ill post a pcpartpicker tomorrow.
Thanks!

Saam asking the important questions.

Also I meant hold your nose closed so no air can come out, then blow. The "air" goes elsewhere.

Hold your nose and attempt to blow out of it. Do it right now and you should feel it inside your ear canal. The pain is usually from pressure and this relieves it.

For good tracking
a. have consistent friction with mouse and mousepad, you need less overall friction the higher your sens because friction helps with stopping power of flicks.
b. Put your focus on watching players and anticipating movement, not aiming. Aiming should be subconscious.
c. 120+ hertz monitor with constant framerate
d. sensitivity/accel settings are personal preference, don't focus too much on what people use and use what is comfortable to you. However, I would put emphasize that medium to long range pistol tracking is easier at lower sensitivity, or medium sens if you use negative accel or aim with your fingers.

Tracking is effected by how players move, people move differently depending on the situation. To practice:
1. track teammates in a pub to practice peoples movement when they aren't aware of you
2. find someone (hit me up if you can't find anyone) who will run around for you in mge
3. track people in the actual game under normal conditions (i.e how people are expected to dodge). Be careful of DM servers because people will not usually move under those circumstances but at least its constant practice.

Quake LG is mostly strafe aiming, only becomes tracking when people are falling vertically, retreating carelessly, etc

TL:DR
Practice, focus on how people move, consistent mouse/video settings, people move different under different conditions.
Source: heavy main.
BONUS:
i. Slow down (or speed up?!) the game using host_timescale in the beginning to give yourself more time to respond to movement, Quake has a similar command.
ii. Record demos of yourself playing and slow down the demo to get a better idea of how smooth and consistent your aim normally is.

Changing combat text. Have the BOLDED options ever worked? They do nothing for me. Color alpha don't seem to work either.

Found what I was looking for replacing and renaming Scoreboard.res with Scoreboard - Minimal.res, which alternates between a 6vs6 and 9vs9 scoreboard.

Thanks for the prompt reply.

rip highlander 9vs9 scoreboard?

I'm registered. I've got space in my car for one person is someone needs a ride. Ill be starting from Marshall University. This will be my route. https://goo.gl/maps/A8uvm

The registration pages says the event is full. Can you still pay as a spectator?

Ive used aimbot as a training method. Good stuff.
