There's a command to set the number that your sensitivity changes by. I forget what it is ( zoom_sensitivity_ratio ?), but like if it's 1.2 and your sensitivity is 2.11, then when you scope in I think it does 2.11/1.2=1.758.....

I seem to be getting ~£300 figures (not including travel) for playing video games away from home. Basically the cost I'd expect from a single-person weekend holiday. Thanks, that tells me what sort of budget I need in life (a bigger one than I have right now) before I can start considering this stuff.

Edit: Unless like there's like smaller/local 2-day events that would come to like £100 (not including travel).

Is there a beginner's guide to PC LANs? I assumed the whole point of a LAN was to bring your own gear, but if a ticket for that is extra, then what do you do without the extra?

I've never been to a LAN before and recently I've been kinda interested in attending an insomnia LAN.

How much does an event like this (for someone living in the UK), actually cost after all is done, food, tickets, accommodation and all?

Are there smaller, cheap LANs that "freshers" like myself are advised to start with?

Oh and don't bother getting anything but the basic slow stuff. You don't need the 0.5gbps stuff for gaming.

Also FYI, powerline is kinda wifi but rather than stick the aerial in the air, you stick it in the wire and get all the free shielding (super ELI5 version). It does mean in some cases your neighbors can get on your "wifi", but you live in Norway so I suspect you live far enough from your neighbors that you don't share a short enough power cable for the signal to reach. ;)

One word for you: Powerline.

Something like

or

Literally the best of both wired and wireless for a house.

Edit: Also, get a program like radar http://wifi-radar.tuxfamily.org/ or linssid https://sourceforge.net/projects/linssid/ or a similar program for whatever OS you use. You may be surprised what crap is on your local wifi bands. I was surprised to find a massive noise burst every 3 or 6 seconds that would temporarily kill the 2.4GHz band for half a second. You wouldn't notice this with a video or browser because the data link between your router and computer would "catch up", but it would affect VOIP and games. Turns out, at the top of our street there's a massive water pump that supplies half the village, and the motor in that causes all the noise, so 2.4GHz was never going to work and 5GHz didn't have the range to reach across the house. A pair of powerline adapters gave me an extra 1ms ping or something in exchange for a wired connection without breaking out my 10m cat5/ethernet cable.

So why do people still play sniper on it? Does it just sometimes work?

(also, hoping around the maps on serveme.tf server by myself, I just found the_stairs which has to be the least sniper friendly thing ever)

Yeah I saw as much sniper on freight around the map as, idk, snake? Heavy too, team I knew ran roaming heavy rather than solly and occasional sniper rather than scout. But that was div 5 idk about when both teams are good.

I used to have this problem and it's 200% the wifi, entirely the wifi and only the wifi. Are you on a 2.4GHz or 5GHz wifi connection? (I'm assuming 2.4GHz but you need to confirm before we can go further.)

Past and current?

Also worst for last and worst for rest of map?

The idea of wearing headphones or earbuds when cycling scares me. You need your wits about you to not get run over or crash into someone, and music doesn't help that.

I've been cycling as my main transport/exercise for 4 years now. Nothing beats spacing out in a slowly moving landscape, except going downhill when you can see the road ahead of you and pretending you have enough money to own a motorbike.

Highly recommend getting a cheap bike and just going wherever you feel like each day for 20 minutes before turning back.

We did snake and process this week and it went much better! We only lost 5-1 and 3.2 this time :D

This guy perfectly sums up my comp TF2 and MM experience and now I feel exposed.

Edit: actually it's missing the 20 fps on gran mid, I take it back

It's 5 years old, is it still relevant?

I thought it was pretty good when I was playing 2-3 years ago, and was thinking it still mostly holds up today, with only some out of date stuff like the rollouts (old map versions, seems to not mention equalizer rollouts), and maybe stuff to do with team aggression and ammo conservation? But I'm not a good enough player to really know what's out out of date (or wrong to start with).
