Some notes:
- Upgrading from a 3570k (which will be recycled hence the upgrade)
- Want to overclock this shit to the max (have a cooler already)
- Want dat smaller form factor
- I don't know what the fuck I'm doing
- Have a shitty GPU (hd7800)
- Does the RAM matter?
- What are the differences between all these different motherboards, I need a z170 to overclock it right?

I am going to be upgrading the GPU a bit later on when I actually have a mind to play games other than rendering video, TF2, and simulation games maybe when all these shiny new cards come out

my question is.. is there anything I can do "better" to optimize my upgrade? I'm thinking no.

#35 A rant about Competitive tf2 financial crisis/art in TF2 General Discussion

eee / elliot is making a lot of sense here (minus the shitposting)

If you grew up before the mid 2000's you probably remember the MPAA bitching at every collective internet user about pirated films. "Films are fucking expensive to make! You motherfuckers have no idea how many people have to get paid for Star Wars to happen! How could you possibly keep downloading films for free, knowing that you are hurting the artists you love???"

Tons of video production people lost their livelihoods when changing consumer attitudes about video made a $15 DVD "expensive." I am intimately involved in a video production company (which is, as you might guess, no longer a video production company because of economic realities). Video used to be 90% of our revenue stream in the 80s and early 90s. Now it's probably less than 20% and continuing to drop.

We were the best legal video production company in America's finest city. Clients would routinely pay $10-15k+ for multi-day video shoots and the associated production. They would also pay $25 for each tape copy. We had 11 guys doing video full time. Last year, we had ONE video shoot over $2500. Clients also say stuff like "can you just drop box it to me? I don't need a physical disc." Now, instead of hiring us to shoot site inspection videos, our clients give their paralegal a handy-cam and drop them off at the plaintiff's house. No script, no voice-over, no slick edit, shot with a broadcast quality camera, with proper lighting, mixing, with everyone mic'd up and sounding good. It looks like fucking garbage because they don't hire us to do it.

But we don't send out letters to our clients bitterly explaining the intricacies of video production. Instead, we fire people, take pay cuts, and figure out how to make money with computers. One of my former boss's biggest mistakes was not firing people fast enough as video got cheaper. Our clients didn't kill us, nor did consumers kill the MPAA. Shit just changed.

That's the position that dashner, uberchain, sideshow, etc are in. I have a lot of respect for people who produce TF2 content because that shit is difficult. But the reality is, because of valve, tf2's competitive nature, Overwatch, or whoever the bogeyman is, producing great content for tf2 will never make financial sense.

Walk away -- a paralegal with a handy cam will do it and it will turn to shit. Sucks but that's the way it is.

*** Dashner you should work for ESPN, your shit is TOP NOTCH.

#63 tf2 guilty pleasures in TF2 General Discussion

every now and then i go into a pub and just play heavy for 3 hours

even rarer still i will play and actually communicate and try to coordinate with a pub medic (only when there is one) like those crazy 25+-year-old heavy mains with like 5 e-gfs (do you guys know the type? I've always wondered if anyone else knows like the type of person i'm talking about...)

i was sad when they nerfed heavy, it had no effect on my games in 6vs6 but in pubs it got slightly less relaxing.

it's just... heavy can have such a huge impact on a pub game. When i am in this state its impossible to be angry. heavy aiming is so relaxing.

#23 vaping congressman spends campaign money on steam in Off Topic

Wow, I really didn't know about this guy. He serves my district. I might've voted for him had I known his stance on video games, lol (it wouldn't have mattered because of the political makeup of San Diego).

I'm also pleasantly surprised at the number of seemingly video game savvy Union Tribune readers there are:

#60 Any AmericanTF2 people want to meet up or host me? in Off Topic

down for a beer when you visit San Diego, i also have a very centrally located apartment if you need a place to crash (but i would want to meet you first lol)

PS -- if you're not sick of poland already, my roommate is polish and he is (likely) enough of a nerd to come along

amplifierworshipHit me up in San Diego.

HELLO fellow san diego gamer!!!

PS san diego is fun for a beachier, more relaxed SoCal experience. It's also more manageable than LA. I wouldn't spend more than 2 or 3 days here from a vacation standpoint, however.

I've been telling girls that i got really good at tf2. I keep telling them like "no, you have no idea how good a person can get at this game"

im worried that one of them will ask for my steam account because it's surprisingly common for chicks to have played tf2

#203 Donald Trump in World Events

Jobs won't get outsourced because of a $15 minimum wage, but they will be automated and replaced. Those jobs right now are not worth $15 and they never will be (until the rising tide of inflation floats them).

Vending machines, touchscreen menus, self-checkouts -- it's already happening in the USA and you need only look at Japan to see what an automated society really looks like. The minimum wage issue isn't an issue at all for people over ~30 years old. It's trumpeted by the Sanders crowd because of the demographics of the group. A livable wage selling merchandise or meals is not a means to a prosperous society, it is the byproduct of a prosperous society.

Sanders' policies work in Canada, Scandinavia, and Qatar because they are efficient for small homogeneous populations and subsidized by vast natural resources. We don't have that in the United States and more bureaucracy at the federal level will not create it.

Trump's policies won't work because... wait, does Trump even have policies?

The United States needs less gov at the Federal level and more gov & participation at the state level. You're seeing right now in the E.U. what happens when government takes a larger bite than it can chew.

I do have to say though my company has done work for one of Donald Trump's entities (or one named after him) and we were paid quickly!
