we may need to start a gofundme to buy him a 50 dollar discrete gpu from like 2010 to make that happen

as someone who jumped fairly quickly from playing against advanced players to invite players, what were the most difficult things to adjust to?

when are we winning invite together?

the monitor they're demonstrating this with is still a TN panel, the fact of the matter is that cheap VA panels are prolly gonna have really shitty response times and so you're gonna get ghosting at high refresh rate no matter what

I couldn't find its exact response time but I assume this 27 inch one is pretty similar for instance, and it looks abysmal particularly the dark avg

better than being an engi main

thanks for interview, my only disappointment is that he didn't ask me about the spawncamp, that's lore in and of itself! (and an opportunity for me to get entertainingly salty)

Sia is failing this

I'm sure you're right, you're talking to a guy who had to clear cmos with a screwdriver like 1 hour into using his new pc earlier today

this might be an incredibly obvious point and I'm not a tech genius or anything but have you checked for dust buildup inside your laptop, as well as fan curves and stuff like that

I feel like if your frame time is way worse than your frame rate then thermals are prolly the main factor right?

if you want to work very few hours w/ school obligation and just make enough money to cover a pc (because you definitely aren't paying rent), consider tutoring

hell you could prolly find some rich parents who want someone to teach their kids to code since you seem to like that kind of stuff

use the ubersaw, it gives more frames

so I was still on that list even though I told my dad to cancel it at the time (it was on his paypal cuz I first got esea premium literally like 11 years ago)

turns out he missed it because they're now called "turtle entertainment online" on paypal receipts??

step 1: entire tf2 community stops paying esea premium for no reason

step 2: bitcoin prices tank worldwide

step 3: buy bitcoin at reduced price

step 4: everyone buys esea premium again

step 5: profit

the thing is, I'm not even opposed to holding invite players to higher levels of scrutiny. the problem is, it needs to be a two-way street. if invite players have to adhere to stricter rules, the admins need to actually try to cultivate better relationships with them, and also be more transparent in their decisions.

look at, say, cs:go to see what I mean. on the one hand, top tier pros would definitely get in trouble for things that no random player ever would. at the same time, pro players have direct channels to communicate with valve, their feedback is sought more directly, and if any pro player gets banned you best believe it's instantly going to require a big news post explaining everything, rather than just a random anonymous ban. and that's valve, a giant corporation with a reputation for being absentee/opaque in their decisionmaking. the idea that volunteer mods in a community league with 1/1,000 of the player base would be so secretive and paranoid is just absurd.

like 500,000 words and they still haven't even addressed the fact that they banned a black person for saying the n word

again, if they plan on holding invite players to a higher level of scrutiny, then it's on them to do their due diligence in that regard

I said this about non-ban rgl decisions but it applies here

like clockwork says a bit of context would be nice in such a small community, but even barring that how about at least a lil transparency

unless this is like cheating and you can't reveal why someone was banned unless you teach other people new slurs to use??? that doesn't seem right!
