The 'jews run the world' conspiracy always makes me feel bad for unsuccessful jews. I can just imagine being a kid who has read about it thinking he is going to get clued in after his bar mitzva -- but nothing. Maybe it's like studying the Kabbalah and you're supposed to wait until you're 40. 40 comes and goes, and still no invite to the illuminati. Finally he goes and asks a kindly old Rabbi. The Rabbi sits him down and says, "Yes, it's all true, but you won't be getting an invitation. I'm sorry, Hershel, but you're a schmuck."

No, the driver circuts that controlled the on and off function were fried. I guess i could have if i wired to to be constantly on when it it was plugged in but that would have been a bad idea, so the toggle switch.
Speaking of bad ideas, somewhere around here I have a motion activated birdhouse/food processor combination (Never used, I am not a monster and I like birds.). That thing is a hoot, it will chew up a pencil pretty quick.

Mr.Bob posted:

It is pretty much what it sounds like, I somehow ended up with a birdhouse painted by some random kid and i had a food processor and i put the two together with some electrical bits and a motion detector. It would turn on with a five second delay if i stuck anything in the bird house hole.

Edit for I like birds. And would not hurt one.

Enourmo posted:

ok so its just a gimmick housing for the food processor and it doesnt sit outside or anything

because the alternative is positively psychopathic

well it sounds like one but apparently it's still just a food processor, but in a different housing, that isn't used to mulch songbirds, as insanely and hilariously psychotic as that would have been

I've read this over and over and I still can't wrap my head around it. Why make it look like a birdhouse?

I've been playing Tribes at an elite level, the same as or better than players like Matin or RTCLL (and definitely way better than fireinasa or mabel or mstarr) for 15 years and have been offered money through small salary to play it at different times over my career.

Here's a video narrated review and analysis I did on Tribes Ascend: PTS vs. Live https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ljUHoiSYHLA

Here's a youtube channel with many Competitive Tribes Fragging Playlists from various Tribes channels over 15 years.

T;A is a heavily dumbed down game for casuals and needs to go the route of Tribes 1 LT PRO MODE (you know where we got paid salary to play the game and then moved on to Overwatch and got paid salary there too) like the Lightweight Perk was starting to do but on Steroids.

There is nothing insane about wanting a high skill level required game that attracts spectators and plays like basketball or hockey. And just because it's hard doesn't mean it has to exclude casuals. It can just be a game mode or mod like "blitz" or whatever.

That;s what my pastor troy music thing was about.

Also when rynex reads this.

I just wanted to say.

Welcome to FYAD Tribes noobie ignorant idiot <3 Dare :-D

haejajaekjak posted:

I'm not arguing that at all. I'm simply stating that T:A's competitive community suffered because the game was overly dumbed down and not as robust for the competitive gamer as most competitive Tribes players would have liked.

Especially people that are into E-Sports and Pro Gaming.

Also to the other guy.

I enjoy the air strafing mechanic in T:A immensely as someone that competes in CPMA, Reflex, and Quake.

I just want the game not to be so ground hugging.

It's a Tribes game so you should expect there to be much higher and consistent aerial acrobatics and less of a Real Life Ski simulator where you're always hugging the ground.

iceridge not sb but good description

sb is the one with the flags inside and really big tall hills and they on top and u spam from the hill mortars down on tiny people cuz ur a loving loser
then u go camp the base inside where ppl respawn and kill them more times

sometimes u kill them 50 times in a row

hoily gently caress

ya t1 was the best of the best of the series

but the best of the best of the best of the series was Tribes 1 LT (every pro from every major mod came together - base, arena, duel, renegeades, shifter, meltdown , annihilation, etc, as one big family, and we all agreed, this was where the pro scene should be, the skill, everything encapsulating tribes, a truly great skillful game on par with quake CPMA (competitive pro mode arena). so they made Tribes 1 LT :'-)

Soon there's going to be newly marketed games in this genre of "fps-z" type games with jetpacks and rockets.

this game format works best with tribes 1 LT style ctf. if you guys want to know the history check out https://www.reddit.com/r/Tribes1 it's a great resource it's modded by some of the best people to ever play tribes (they get voted this). a couple of them have won cash tourneys, one is on the #1 Overwatch Pro team right now Team Hubris.

these new games will probably not be clones of tribes 1 LT, but they can have a Tribes 1 5v5 LT style e-sports format/game mode and probably will in some form. so i definitely suggest you check them out as this is the direction the series is head in in the future - while still remaining to its multiple armor/class/position roots and offering that to casuals.

all games need a pro mode democratically discussed and decided by the pros IMO.

haejajaekjak posted:

basically these arrogant game devs and casuals get ahold of this series.

then they try to reimagine it while it was never broken from the original (which only got popular because the game had a glitch and was broken in the first place and drm free word of mouth marketing and distribution)

every time the casuals and egotistical devs do this the community completely divides, the pro community abdicates to new games (like chump and talespin did with Overwatch and are now #1 in the ESL @ it) and people get dramatic

the pros are never listened to they leave, a new group of pros come in severely more arrogant less skilled and blind than the historical guys that have been playing for 18 years since they were 10 LOL

these new casual "pros" cry for changes to be made for the game to cater to their low skill level to make them feel good like they're actually good fps gamers, the game gets dumbed down even more. no one wants to play the dumbed down game, even more ppl leave

eventually its just the casual devs and their hardcore fan base of casuals and even their casual pros leave because they aren't getting the ego fix or attention they crave by being #1 at the easiest video game of all time.

the most major ironic and great thing imo was oldschool players coming back to t;a and owning all the new school guys and causing them to quit their own claim to fame game

anyway the series is totally hosed and no one wants to play a basketball game where the rules change every other day to reward the worst players.

this is why im most comfortable playing http://reflexfps.net/ or https://www.reddit.com/r/Tribes1

with truly skilled fps players, not cod/cs/console noobies like what ascend attracted.

dunno whats more pathetic, the group of gbs losers trying to vote rig their way into competitive esports on /r/Tribes or the fact that i got a shitload of stalkers from writing a post about player league regulation and unions.

im not going to play a game that rewards casuals that have to vote rigg reddit to feel good while the game population stays uncompetitive and dead neither are any real e-sports organizations or former pros, or current pros with agents, as has been publicly stated.



i realize there are a lot of hurt egos, money on the table, success and failure, possibly firings,

idc about any of this though

the co-founder of hirez contacted me about game ideas and the last bunch of employees they had all lied about their credentials and pedigree of "tribes pro best ever for 12 years" status, HiRezAPC, and some game testers etc.

the quake: ascend prefab physics they provide are a good competitive start but it needs a lot more tweaking

im glad they're reaching out to the historical pros more though like 5150, tribes 1 LT, natural, etc, and won't be surprised if one of my friends ends up with some streamer/game design or talk show type gig

we still have the best/most beautiful tribes playing womyn around Br0n who will come to this t:a game and kick every scrubs butt on stream 4 cash :"-)
she grew up with 4 older brothers who all played competitive tribes for 15 years and has played since she was less than 10

her brother is now a sportscaster

esports is business i do not enjoy partaking in and wish to deal with briefly. but t:a is most likely not going to take off without major reworks even if casuals or t2 pubbies enjoy it.

circle jerking each other isnt going to change this

It's like owning a gun. Just because you have one, that doesn't mean you're going to shoot anybody with it. But you still have it.
