#3 Monitor upgrade in Hardware

i don't mean to assume your situation or anything, but in my experience if you're gonna save up for a mid-tier monitor (or any peripherals) you might as well just save the extra dosh and get something insanely good, something you won't have to replace hopefully for many years to come. i've made the mistake of getting "decent" equipment and then realizing 1 year later that i could have done so much better for just 100-200 bucks more.

again i know not everyone can afford to just drop a trillion dollars on crazy gaming equipment, but if you really want a monitor that will last, i say save up and splurge out on a BenQ ZOWIE XL2546K (copy and pasted, not an ad i swear) or other such similar monitor. read up on blurbusters and make an informed decision about a purchase that could stick with you for years

#42 A statement in Off Topic

The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far. The sciences, each straining in its own direction, have hitherto harmed us little; but some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the deadly light into the peace and safety of a new dark age.
Theosophists have guessed at the awesome grandeur of the cosmic cycle wherein our world and human race form transient incidents. They have hinted at strange survivals in terms which would freeze the blood if not masked by a bland optimism. But it is not from them that there came the single glimpse of forbidden aeons which chills me when I think of it and maddens me when I dream of it. That glimpse, like all dread glimpses of truth, flashed out from an accidental piecing together of separated things—in this case an old newspaper item and the notes of a dead professor. I hope that no one else will accomplish this piecing out; certainly, if I live, I shall never knowingly supply a link in so hideous a chain. I think that the professor, too, intended to keep silent regarding the part he knew, and that he would have destroyed his notes had not sudden death seized him.
My knowledge of the thing began in the winter of 1926–27 with the death of my grand-uncle George Gammell Angell, Professor Emeritus of Semitic Languages in Brown University, Providence, Rhode Island. Professor Angell was widely known as an authority on ancient inscriptions, and had frequently been resorted to by the heads of prominent museums; so that his passing at the age of ninety-two may be recalled by many. Locally, interest was intensified by the obscurity of the cause of death. The professor had been stricken whilst returning from the Newport boat; falling suddenly, as witnesses said, after having been jostled by a nautical-looking negro who had come from one of the queer dark courts on the precipitous hillside which formed a short cut from the waterfront to the deceased’s home in Williams Street. Physicians were unable to find any visible disorder, but concluded after perplexed debate that some obscure lesion of the heart, induced by the brisk ascent of so steep a hill by so elderly a man, was responsible for the end. At the time I saw no reason to dissent from this dictum, but latterly I am inclined to wonder—and more than wonder.
As my grand-uncle’s heir and executor, for he died a childless widower, I was expected to go over his papers with some thoroughness; and for that purpose moved his entire set of files and boxes to my quarters in Boston. Much of the material which I correlated will be later published by the American Archaeological Society, but there was one box which I found exceedingly puzzling, and which I felt much averse from shewing to other eyes. It had been locked, and I did not find the key till it occurred to me to examine the personal ring which the professor carried always in his pocket. Then indeed I succeeded in opening it, but when I did so seemed only to be confronted by a greater and more closely locked barrier. For what could be the meaning of the queer clay bas-relief and the disjointed jottings, ramblings, and cuttings which I found? Had my uncle, in his latter years, become credulous of the most superficial impostures? I resolved to search out the eccentric sculptor responsible for this apparent disturbance of an old man’s peace of mind.
The bas-relief was a rough rectangle less than an inch thick and about five by six inches in area; obviously of modern origin. Its designs, however, were far from modern in atmosphere and suggestion; for although the vagaries of cubism and futurism are many and wild, they do not often reproduce that cryptic regularity which lurks in prehistoric writing. And writing of some kind the bulk of these designs seemed certainly to be; though my memory, despite much familiarity with the papers and collections of my uncle, failed in any way to identify this particular species, or even to hint at its remotest affiliations.
Above these apparent hieroglyphics was a figure of evidently pictorial intent, though its impressionistic execution forbade a very clear idea of its nature. It seemed to be a sort of monster, or symbol representing a monster, of a form which only a diseased fancy could conceive. If I say that my somewhat extravagant imagination yielded simultaneous pictures of an octopus, a dragon, and a human caricature, I shall not be unfaithful to the spirit of the thing. A pulpy, tentacled head surmounted a grotesque and scaly body with rudimentary wings; but it was the general outline of the whole which made it most shockingly frightful. Behind the figure was a vague suggestion of a Cyclopean architectural background.
The writing accompanying this oddity was, aside from a stack of press cuttings, in Professor Angell’s most recent hand; and made no pretence to literary style. What seemed to be the main document was headed “CTHULHU CULT” in characters painstakingly printed to avoid the erroneous reading of a word so unheard-of. The manuscript was divided into two sections, the first of which was headed “1925—Dream and Dream Work of H. A. Wilcox, 7 Thomas St., Providence, R.I.”, and the second, “Narrative of Inspector John R. Legrasse, 121 Bienville St., New Orleans, La., at 1908 A. A. S. Mtg.—Notes on Same, & Prof. Webb’s Acct.” The other manuscript papers were all brief notes, some of them accounts of the queer dreams of different persons, some of them citations from theosophical books and magazines (notably W. Scott-Elliot’s Atlantis and the Lost Lemuria), and the rest comments on long-surviving secret societies and hidden cults, with references to passages in such mythological and anthropological source-books as Frazer’s Golden Bough and Miss Murray’s Witch-Cult in Western Europe. The cuttings largely alluded to outré mental illnesses and outbreaks of group folly or mania in the spring of 1925.
The first half of the principal manuscript told a very peculiar tale. It appears that on March 1st, 1925, a thin, dark young man of neurotic and excited aspect had called upon Professor Angell bearing the singular clay bas-relief, which was then exceedingly damp and fresh. His card bore the name of Henry Anthony Wilcox, and my uncle had recognised him as the youngest son of an excellent family slightly known to him, who had latterly been studying sculpture at the Rhode Island School of Design and living alone at the Fleur-de-Lys Building near that institution. Wilcox was a precocious youth of known genius but great eccentricity, and had from childhood excited attention through the strange stories and odd dreams he was in the habit of relating. He called himself “psychically hypersensitive”, but the staid folk of the ancient commercial city dismissed him as merely “queer”. Never mingling much with his kind, he had dropped gradually from social visibility, and was now known only to a small group of aesthetes from other towns. Even the Providence Art Club, anxious to preserve its conservatism, had found him quite hopeless.
On the occasion of the visit, ran the professor’s manuscript, the sculptor abruptly asked for the benefit of his host’s archaeological knowledge in identifying the hieroglyphics on the bas-relief. He spoke in a dreamy, stilted manner which suggested pose and alienated sympathy; and my uncle shewed some sharpness in replying, for the conspicuous freshness of the tablet implied kinship with anything but archaeology. Young Wilcox’s rejoinder, which impressed my uncle enough to make him recall and record it verbatim

#66 Monthly RGL Thread: July 2021 in TF2 General Discussion

add: i don't have anything against the guy as i don't know him personally, but what makes the situation funnier to me is that we literally just played against an IM team that had an old top invite player rostered on medic. is darty better at medic than him? the arguments about sandbagging are so moot at this point that they're not even worth having -- you can, in the span of 1 week, be denied a ringer because they're a t4 surfer or whatever, and then be forced to fight froyotech in newcomer "as long as they're not playing their mains" lmfao

#65 Monthly RGL Thread: July 2021 in TF2 General Discussion
b0nes_NARight I got something GOLD. for context we are going into an rgl match in IM both of us are mid IM teams. med is currently on vacation so we need a ringer to play for us. Darty (IM scout main) volunteers to play MEDIC for us. our last ringer was an advanced ringer so he got denied (which is within the rules), however the other team denied this ringer. now for extra context the team lead on the other team is buddies with an rgl admin, and according to him he said the denial was validated by the admins in DM's. now unless admins get into match comms and communicate that shit it doesn't apply to the match. admins never posted that shit 4 days ago.

during the match timing they kept claiming to have a valid argument for why he should not be allowed to play MEDIC ON KOTH BAGEL, so our TL's started DM'ing each other and here's the screenshots for that.

so at around the same time these DM's are happening i decide to take the initiative for my team and contact an admin through a support ticket. NOW keep in mind this entire time DARTY IS PLAYING MEDIC, he is (according to RGL's very own rulebook) allowed to ring for match's in AM on medic.https://docs.google.com/document/d/1jfp2o6X4m0zdrX50kZ5YNsrvBANqxfDb-nEsRBb1wh0/view#heading=h.p0j0aqcb6ms6

Overall this entire situation is pathetic and stupid. the rule book was thrown at us ignoring the actual rules and we lost because the admin "dm'ed" that player to okay the deny. darty is on a playoffs IM team ringing for an IM match. he falls within the definitions of a "default ringer"

do my eyes deceive me or did the other TL literally say "you can't ring him because he's good at surfing"

that's genuinely top tier hilarity

#9 If TF2 was an esport... in TF2 General Discussion

most likely 6s. the reason why 6s works better is because it's easier to find dedicated mains for the 4 classes than it is to find dedicated mains for all 9 classes, a lot of the time you just end up with people that are good at X or Y class but don't really main them, because there's no alternative. and getting 18 people together for scrims/matches is a serious pain in the ass. 6s is better because it's smaller, easier to follow for spectators, and much simpler than highlander.

that's not to say highlander isn't good or whatever, any gamemode where i can play heavy full time is good imo... it's just that it's a lot more inconvenient than 6s
