I prefer coiled since it's usually shorter and easier if you're close to your source (ie computer or phone/ipod if mobile). Don't think it really matters much though, not like its gonna change the sound quality or anything. Haven't tried both the M50 variations myself, but there's tons of threads about it on the internet.

Also off topic, you might want to look at other headpohnes from the m50. They are really popular and not bad but for gaming there's really not much reason to go for them over open back phones (ad700, various sennheisers, etc). Might as well go for soundstage if you can.

I think the easiest way to do it if you don't care too much about quality is just to record an OBS stream to twitch and highlight it, then export that to youtube.

stock everything isn't bad, though the ambassador and l'etranger are both decent upgrdes

I'm not sure why you think getting a mentor will improve your DM magically. Only way to 'land more directs with stock rl' is to practice.
Might want to edit the OP and include more info as well as use decent grammar/spelling

Have you ever checked to see if the game is using all 8 cores? Would be interested to see that. I've heard tf2 only uses one core, but my quad i7 with hyperthreading gets less frames than that. Could just be the dual gpus but I doubt it since tf2 is so cpu limited

Anyone mind explaining what exactly this does? I'm used to using the in game m1 once and then forget, is there any way to have the same sort of thing, and not have everything be switched backwards? Don't really understand all the code

Minor threadjack but what are some examples of games that you would play if you had a better PC? I have a problem with not playing any other games but TF2 but have a decent computer

Can anyone do the edgebug on the badlands rollout reliably? I know I can get it occasionally but I'm shit at jumping. Really cool variation, though may give you too low hp to reliably do anything.

240fps nearly all the time unless pubbing. Used to get up to 800 even in pubs but now it goes down to 100 or less. Rip tf2.
