you definitely dont want a laptop as your primary pc if you're doing mech e.

I did ECE and lived with 5 other people in a suite. I can't tell you the number of times I let my mech e roommates/friends use my pc to compile their SolidWorks projects while their laptops bluescreened from the heat/cpu usage.

Get a PC. Definitely get a PC.

dont buy a laptop for gaming. thats for like LoL players at college who have no idea what competitive gaming actually is.

buy/build yourself a cheap ~900-1200$ pc and leave it in your dorm room (you can use the bigger monitor to watch movies, have a stable wired connection, do more cpu intensive homework assuming youre doing computer science or engineering or something, and game), and then buy yourself a cheap laptop/tablet with a keyboard to do homework and check email on the go.

also dont get a wireless gaming mouse or headset if you want to win.

fps_max 100 and your life will be fine.

it was a drive by fruiting

you probably don't wanna spend more than like $40 if theyre gonna be for the gym, unless youre gonna drop money on a warranty.

generally woot.com has a headphone for sale or slickdeals.net .

i use overpriced beats buds but i have a replacement warranty on them so its fine.

its more or less a ploy to get people to use youtube more

you can probably do a lot of funky shit with the right audio drivers and the right splitting programs, but its a lot of work and gets mad confusing. im sure its possible, im just not sure itll be worth it.

Their image/prestige is dying though.

I'm not saying what theyre doing isn't completely insane, I'm just saying its pretty justifiable.

Its not that simple. The problem with quake isn't fully the subscription model for an ancient looking shooter, its the fact that if you can't already aim and move well you get stomped.

You can make the argument that 'that's true for every game' but it's especially true in quake live. Learning movement mechanics in that game are much more difficult for people who have never done it before, and there's no real functional ranking system viable for the way the game plays.

They needed a way to get more people to play it more than 1 time. This is them trying to do that. Once they get an established player base, maybe we'll see some more money pumped into it.

id isn't exactly rolling in the dough right now. They need a cheap way to get more players to play. Making it easy and on steam is a start.

this is a pretty radical shift if its real. Props to them for such a ballsy move. Desperate times call for desperate measures.

set visible to 0 on random shit. I feel like you installed something wrong or messed up the locations of files or something if its not reading a custom hudlayout.res

i emailed their devs about a bug and they emailed me back within an hour, thus making me feel obligated to market for them.

also don't install an english patch, itll ruin the authenticity of the 'wtf' feeling

check console for errors...

you pretty much have no idea how to navigate the menus or anything cause its in japanese

then when you launch a level you have this weird bow gun shit and no crosshair and you have to get through a map using jump pads and aim but if you dont aim quick enough or accurate enough you lose and have to start over

the maps are like 15-20 seconds long max.

think of it like super meat boy but with a gun instead of precision walljumping

its not in huditemeffectmeter

its in hudbowcharge and huddemomancharge

itll look something like

"/resource/ui/HudDemomanCharge.res"

ItemEffectMeter
{
BLAHBLAH
xpos "shitnumber"
}

You want to change shitnumber to c-50 or something

or better yet open scripts/hudlayout.res

and change the xpos on huddemomanchargea nd hudbowcharge to c- values.
