idk a lot of alliance get cucked because they have to walk to the night elf area and back.

I've done some speedruns and I get better times on horde in the early levels, night elves may be an exception though.

if ur just talking about the atmosphere of the zones then yeah

this game is rly fun.
hella ppl calling me a cheater tho, very paranoid

sorry for the awkward bump. I'm here to say as creative director on these maps y'all should switch to ctf_ballin_skyfall in the future.
it has minor improvements, notably you can't crater on the hoop before scoring which became a significant problem with the increased skybox height of ballin sky.

ty I will look into that

seems good for the price. plastic screws and separated heat pipes but probably a lot of cooling @ $26 cad

So my skin gets worse when I turn on my PC. The side which is closer to the PC will get more irritated. It just itches and I get rash above my eyes, ears and hairline. All I know is my PC circulating air around the room makes it worse.

I'm not certain.

I have had an allergy test and it said that I'm allergic to dust mites, pollen, dogs+cats. I don't believe its pollen (not the main thing), and its not animal hair (I only have fish for obvious reasons), not cockroaches (there are none).

It could be mold (I live in a damp climate, and my house has a green roof above the workshop that leaks, gets repaired, leaks etc. I've put up a temporary roof up but its not perfect. I also have underfloor heating using water pipes. Water features, cedar roof. I've had many leaks before. There's lot of things that is potentially an issue). I haven't seen mold spores or anything obvious. I don't know if I'm allergic to mold (+there are many types etc).

I get triggered if I don't change my pillowcase every day, make my bed. foam earphones are awful.
I haven't had this issue my whole life, more like the last 4 years.

If I had to guess: Dust > mold > foam/latex.
steroid cream helps a lot, but not something I want to be reliant on.

I would move, but its very difficult and will cost me 100k so I would rather exhaust all other options first.

I have moved my computer into its own room. It sits on the floor as far away from me as possible, which is better than on my desk but maybe a box or something would be better.
I have a metal desk, leather chair, hard mousepad, and my electronics. I have wood floors, no wallpaper, no air vents. There is a box of tissues :> which I might get rid of and cream for my skin, nothing else in the room. It's on the lower floor of my house which seems worse.

Housekeeper cleans my room. I've told her to change products. I clean my PC often with a leafblower.

My pc has stock dust filters on intake (fractal design r5), 2 intake fans with the door closed. I've removed the exhaust fan. It has a noctua nh-d14 with 2 fans. its hard to clean the heatsink because it's so large. I've changed from static overclock to dynamic to reduce fan speeds on idle.

it was overclocked, 4.1ghz at 1.55v, still ran fairly hot on liquid. it's been higher like 4.4ghz but not stable. I had a crappy aio liquid cooler before and it would hit deep 90s/thermal shutdown at my goal of 4ghz lmao.

As far as my goals now, I'll be happy if its stable at stock clock (3ghz). I don't care much about the performance of this PC anymore as long as she runs.

I was considering a more expensive cooler that can be used in the future (eg:NH-D15 with adapter), but probably not worth it. I could use the NH-D14 from my main pc and get a new cooler for that which is better with dust if such a thing makes any difference.

I think my best option is a cheap cooler that is sufficient.

I'm not sure, my guild is going Horde. I'm really bored of Horde tho, I have R13 undead mage on Northdale.
Alliance is the stronger faction and the cities are nicer.

I have a few questions.

1. I have a *really bad* dust allergy, how can I setup my PC to help as much as possible with that.

2. I have this old gaming pc with a core 2 extreme QX6850 (socket: LGA775), it used to be liquid cooled, but my loop is broken. I need a CPU cooler to get it running again, what should I get. I'm planning to use it for netflix, and it's unlikely but maybe stream encoding.

1. the dogs paw is just resting, drum is automated
2. video is spliced
3. #2 implies the audio has been tampered

rate makes no difference unless:
-its set too low to handle the game traffic
-its set too high for your internet connection

you need higher rate if there is more players in the server. A 32 man pub game is going to send more network traffic than a 12 player competitive game.

realistically rate 100000 is complete overkill. there is no difference in gameplay between 60k and 100k. 60k is also higher than necessary.

however with today's internet connections, high rates will not cause lag so why not.

@op those settings are all pretty good. it makes such a small difference, it does not matter.

@31 when you join a new server, your rates will be updated, check netgraph. for that reason plus the fact that rate changes nothing unless it is extremely low. your feeling is likely placebo or has another cause.

both of you should have rates in a cfg that gets autoexec if you don't already

o ya i forgot about that. been so long since I did a pov smooth cause hlae

you can but it must be a pov demo, and yes very aids

That sucks man if it helps I know the struggle. I hurt my wrist badly like 2-3 years ago, couldn't use a computer with my right hand for about a year, then trackball for 8 months, now back to a normal mouse. my wrist still isn't 100% but its so much better than it was.

In a way its been good for me, I learned to appreciate the basic things in life a little more, and its gotten me off video games which I've been addicted to for way too long. I kind of needed a slap in the face however painful.

and yeah mvp quit the game man, he has cervical kyphosis (his neck bends the wrong way) leading to nerve damage, not carpal tunnel. I also thought I had carpal tunnel (all the symptoms) but it's tendinosis.

I hope you make a nice recovery op

I would get a CRT monitor. just a matter of finding the right one, they are usually dirt cheap.
the response time is simply better than lcd's. the refresh rates can be well over 100hz up to like 260hz depending on the model and resolution. u will have to play 4:3 on low resolution ofc. but for just pure aim they are really strong

queen sacrifice thats leads to a checkmate

heavy
non stock weapons (almost all of em)
playing soldier on high ping (just a personal grievance)
spy backstab changes a really long time ago
crouch animation changes
demo nerfs
rampbugs
the great divide between pub play and competitive. it feels like two different games
valve not giving a fuck about us (the competitive community)
