Is there a section anywhere on setting up colours/graphics settings to make it easier to spot people? I often end up in a "where the christ was he?" situation after dying because he was blending in almost perfectly with a wicker basket/in bloom or similar.

Someone talk to me about swings. I wanted to get MG2 this weekend, but ended up playing so badly I dropped down to Nova 3. Think I lost 15 games in a row or something, and I can't blame my team either because I was consistently one of the worst players even in the nova 3 games, then suddenly today I'm hitting everything again and trashing 2AK players. WHAT GIVES. And how do I avoid it happening again.

I've gone on longer gaming benders than 15 games over 3 days believe me. I basically just lost the ability to aim for the entire weekend.

I get that DDoSing is done buy a 13 year old using Daddy's credit card to buy himself time on a botnet, but how does he get access to the specific players IP address? Are they available through the client or through an API? I've no idea how much ISP's charge for DDoS protection but you'd think it would be a must for any pro gamers.

Throws aren't deliberate in this context.

Why does CS:GO shift the value of your bet after you've got your skins in already? That's pretty dodgy.

VVV Ah drat. I thought I was being clever by getting my money in early when I saw Titan could be going down.

I get quite bad screen tearing in CS:GO, despite having 250fps constantly in game. Is this likely to be a cause of my monitor, which is just an LG 60hz job not exactly optimised for gaming. Or is it the fact that I have a dual monitor setup? I've noticed that games on my housemates PC always appear smoother despite his system specs not being as good as mine.

Edit: I also got obscene screen tearing in Titanfall. The game was horribly optimised so everyone got a bit, but mine was actually unplayable.

Edit2: Turning on vsync adds horrendous input lag + still has screen tearing.

Cuntpunch posted:

If he's getting solid framerate>monitor refresh rate I really doubt 'tearing' is what he's experiencing. If he's thinking it's lovely monitor stuff, it's probably more a problem of ghosting? Ghosting sounds more correct based on him noting that things 'appear smoother'. lovely monitor g2g or response times could easily mean he's just seeing the effect of stuff kind of blurring across the screen.

In which case, yes, you can't fix that in drivers or settings, you'll need a better monitor. But to confirm this, what is the model of your monitor so we can look at specs?

I'm not sure what ghosting is in this context, basically when I move the mouse quickly I'll get lines, typically in the center of my screen, where the top half of the frame doesn't line up with the bottom half, only obviously it's happening at high speed. I always thought that was screen tearing. The monitor I'm playing on is using a VGA cable as I didn't have a spare HDMI cable, could that cause it? I tried disabling that monitor and solely using my other one which is DVI but the problem was just as noticable.

I'm wondering if I'm just hyper-sensitive to it or something. If I have to shell out a bit for a 120hz monitor then so be it, but I'd like to rule out everything else first.

I did check my graphics card (nVidia GTX 670) control panel settings but they all seemed fine, nothing abnormal.

Edit: apparently having FPS too high for the monitor can cause screen tearing too? perhaps that's it. I'll try limiting the FPS tomorrow.

Turns out that the special MM taser that makes a hooter sound and fires ribbons etc still actually does damage and you should not aim it at your teammates in the first second of a match and fire :(

Dota2 is objectively awful. The concept is all very good but the implementation is batshit insane, itemisation and the "meta" lead to the worst pro scene, literally impossible to follow if you don't have 1000 hours+ invested in the game.

You could add an echo with some con_filter magic for when you toggle on and off like this guy does here for the damage notifications:

If you don't care about anything else in console you can just leave developer 1 always on and con_filter out everything except for the damage reports and your own echoes.

Aye my worry is that I might occasionally want to see other console text. Having said that I could just bind another key to a script that sets/unsets all the con_filters and also turns developer on and off, and toggle that if I ever need to read something else in the console.

Tbh I agree with you too. At the end of the day you're ONE person, and you'd have to be some sort of idiot to think that one person getting some extra skins has any measurable effect on the economy. If Valve gave you more skin drops then literally everyone would be happy
