The funniest thing about this screen cap to me is that I cannot find a picture in my SD cards that closely resembles that screencap.

I saw y'all looking the night of, I appreciate it so much <3

Hey, for anyone at the Ford Gaming house last night, did you by chance take a silver keychain with a bunch of little folding tools on it (pliers, flash drive, scissors, and a key)?

I had it last night and popped it out to open a beer. Then I didn't have them when I went to open my next beer.

If you find please please please let me know, that flash drive has files and footage from the LAN that will be a pain in the ass to re-acquire. I am in San Francisco until Friday.

Looks like you've been helped, but I have rc2 through to rc4 if needed by you or anyone else.

count me in pls

So the fundamental issue here is that class-specific scrips are part of a .cfg file, which will get executed when you load a map and select a class.

Sounds, including custom .vpks are loaded when you launch hl2 and cannot be handled while the game is open.

I haven't made a custom crit sound in a long time, but from looking at my old ones (and trying to make some new ones recently), you won't hear your custom sound in-game unless you copy the file 5 times and name it crit_hit1 through 5 respectively. You are adding a custom sound to the game so you can hear it, not for the chance to hear it anyway, right?

Hope that helps.

Oh yeah, did some playing around after posting my initial benchmark and meant to post my results.

So, downloaded Masterconfig Medium, switched to full screen, and overclocked CPU (6600k running 1.4v @4.6GHz).

Results prior to modifications:

4812 frames 36.165 seconds 133.06 fps ( 7.52 ms/f) 25.979 fps variability

Checked RAM seating and speed, and installed masterconfig:

4812 frames 32.862 seconds 146.43 fps ( 6.83 ms/f) 31.118 fps variability

After settling on OC settings:

4812 frames 27.751 seconds 173.40 fps ( 5.77 ms/f) 25.152 fps variability

There is an obvious improvement, but should I be expecting more? Running the 5 min quick benchmark in Intel XTU before and after overclocking didn't demonstrate a marked improvement (677 to 684 pts). Obviously going down to the med-low config would provide more improvement, but I want to make sure I'm not underperforming first.

I am a long time violinist violist. I absolutely love discussing classical music with people!

I find that what interests me the most in terms of listening and discussing is stuff I've been personally involved in playing. For the most part, that has been chamber/ensemble stuff. String quartet is my favourite format.

Probably my top quartet set to play. The viola opening tune is the most recognizable melody for the viola. The finale makes me think of an old Western-genre film, and it was written well before those were a thing.

For those who may not be familiar, the viola is a different instrument in the "violin" family. It was used to pad out the sounds of violins similar to how the double bass pads the cello sound. As such, its repertoire is small, but its sound is very interesting when it's used for pieces written for it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v-sbebj6cZg (Marchenbilder/Fairy Tale Pictures by Robert Schumann)

EDIT:

Just reminding you to get your 40 hours of practicing in today.

I have a VG248QE, and I bought an Acer Nitro VG240Y because I was looking for a 1080p IPS display, and it was only slightly more to get that and have 144hz refresh. I wasn't intending to buy a new primary monitor, but it has taken that role.

Picture quality is noticeably better than the VG248, but that is to be expected. It has minimal bezel unlike the Asus. A few things to keep in mind though;

• On advanced monitor settings in Windows, you should be able to set the refresh to 165hz, while the box claims it is a 144hz. 165hz works, but I personally was getting occasional random flickers, so I toned it down to 144hz.
  
• The NA model does not come with internal speakers. When you plug it in, Windows will tell you there is a speaker, but the monitor's settings won't have any speaker settings. Of course, this may be irrelevant to you.
  
• If you don't use a VESA mount, prepare to use books to prop it up. The plastic stand that comes with the monitor is a joke. That said, you might get away with canabalizing an Asus monitor stand. I haven't tried, just thought about it.
  
• What is made more annoying with a VESA mount, however, is the monitor's power and menu buttons which are located on the back of the monitor. They're a little annoying to reach and press with the monitor suspended on a mount in comparison to the Asus button placement on the bottom right.

Overall, I'm not disappointed in the monitor, just those shortcomings do reflect in its slightly cheaper price.

Type

ping -t 8.8.8.8

into CMD.

-t makes it ping until you manually stop it. You can also replace that address with any IP if you want to check your connection to a specific server.

I use a TP-Link. One of them failed within months of purchase, but since they had an RMA office not far away I was able to mail it in exchange for a new one.

Tron Legacy soundtrack is one of my absolute favourite movie soundtracks.
