#62 What is the game that requires the most skill? in Other Games

chivalry: medieval warfare is as close as you can get to a semi-alive, full character control PvP game.

gunz: the duel is ancient & super niche since it lives solely on private servers & only hardcore veterans even play it, but it prioritizes character control over everything else. arguably one of the hardest mechanical shooter games (although i enjoy tf2 a lot more than the current state of gunz).

these servers are practically the only ones with players (only ~200 on at any given time):
https://universegunz.net/ and https://fgunz.net/

here's a decent enough tutorial to get you started on playing the game:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mg8QsK8-Ds0

here's an example of the physical mechanics required to play gunz (note that this guy is way slower than most players nowadays -- unfortunately, i can't find any keyboard videos more current & accurate of gameplay than this):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lyQ2O-LtgRo

here's an example of a typical 1v1 match:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TgkEj1JBFPI

elder scrolls: daggerfall is also a lot like what you're describing, but it's single-player & on DOS. really fun game regardless.

if you can compromise on not having full limb control, natural selection 2 might be up your alley.

#47 What is the game that requires the most skill? in Other Games
shirtsnotshoesAre there any that are like an MMO but allow for insane individual skill? (Kind of like black desert online but more deep in terms of mechanics)

DARKFALL: RISE OF AGON for NA players and DARKFALL: NEW DAWN for EU players

hardcore open world sandbox fantasy MMOFPS with full-loot & clan warfare.

some recent gameplay videos:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dxZ50K4cmgI
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ng7oSFDpcWU
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K_YdSt7CF5M

manual attacks (melee, archery, & magic), a wide variety of spells & skills (~60 unique spells out of ~100 in total that are actively used in competitive play), fast paced movement (INCLUDING BUNNYHOPPING), and active health/stamina/mana management to name a few defining PvP features.

easily the most skillful MMO that has ever existed

the new player experience (NPE) isn't well fleshed-out & the population is relatively small as a result (~200-500 on at any given time). as such, i do not recommend that you pick it up quite yet. once they make it easier for people to understand the game, however, i have high hopes for its success.

very talented team of veteran darkfall players are leading the game's development; the community practically directly develops the game.

note: darkfall was originally available between 2009-2012 until Aventurine (the original developers) went under.
~2 years ago, two different teams got in contact with the right people & were able to license the game (giving them nearly full control over the source code).
the directions of development between RoA and ND are a bit different, but the fast-paced combat isn't in contention.
it's safe to say that NA players should play on RoA (their beta server is hosted in New York) and EU players should play on ND (their beta server is hosted in Paris).
having high ping is disadvantageous, but it isn't the end of the world.
for example, one of the best players lives in Pakistan and plays on RoA with 200+ ping: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c1AEIMNZFjk

#7 doubleclick OS issue? in Hardware

unless you prep an enterprise LTSB ISO to completely remove cortana & other miscellaneous performance hogging bullshit, i wouldn't touch windows 10 with a 10-foot pole.

also, that site was registering double-clicks erroneously for me (two quick clicks wouldn't register as a double-click, but two delayed single-clicks would). you need a different (preferably low-level) testing suite. i have a few programs i used a while back to properly vet mouse performance; i'll send them to you after finals.

#17 How to get the max FPS in tf2 in Q/A Help

hey jakalighting i was inspired by u so i made my own fps guide by quoting u here is my fps guide it is quoted but it is mine thank u for reading

Jakalightning!WARNING! - Will make TF2 look significantly worse depending on how much FPS you want-

-This Guide is to show how YOU can get the MAX FPS possible in this game (without breaking it)
-Enjoy!

FPS WITH DEFAULT SETTINGS IN TF2: 18-40 FPS (21 average)
FPS WITH THESE SETTINGS AND MODS: 36-117 FPS (60+ average)

---------------------------
ALL Works in SV_PURE 2 (official Valve Servers)
---------------------------

LAUNCH CODE OPTIONS

To go to Launch code options :
(go to steam> library> right click on Team Fortress 2> Properties> Set Launch code options)

Most people already know what these are. But for those who don't, these are just commands that are executed before the game is launched

For max FPS (copy these down into "launch code options")
-dxlevel 81 -full -w WIDTH -h HIEGHT -nod3d9ex

change -w WIDTH to your screen res width
change -h HEIGHT to your screen res height
*Example of mine is -w 1366 -h 786

remove -dxlevel 81 from launch code options after launching the game once.
*i will not use -high since it may cause overheat*

CONFIGS

-FPS configs are files that contain commands that will help your FPS by lowering settings. These settings will help it easier for your computer to handle. Hens, giving you more FPS

-Quick note: I will not include Chris' Configs because half of the commands are outdated

RECOMMENDED CONFIG:
--------------------------
Comanglia's FPS Config- http://www.teamfortress.tv/25328/comanglia-s-config-fps-guide
--------------------------
This config is used by most competitive people who want more FPS. I would recommend changing these settings : mat_filterlightmaps 1 to mat_filterlightmaps 0
mat_trilinear 1 to mat_trilinear 0
mat_specular 1 to mat_specular 0
mat_viewportscale 1 to mat_viewportscale 0.8
-------------------------
R4NDOM's FPS config- https://www.dropbox.com/s/orhw78x73pw50nt/r4ndom_graphical.txt?dl=0
------------------------
Another good FPS config: doesn't give as much FPS as Comanglias, but looks better for some

:HOW TO INSTALL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eZ_2QIaJCK0

MODS/SCRIPTS

-This is the part that will decide how much FPS you really want- I recommend install all if you have a bad computer

------------------------
Harbls No Hat's Mod
https://teamfortress.tv/thread/16179/no-hats-mod
------------------------
(put in custom folder)
-Removes All hats in the game (may leave newer hats in; but only a handfull) This can increase your FPS by 5-20; neither the less, it is guaranteed to increase FPS

------------------------
No Hat's Mod Particle Effects remover (Very Few Unusual Effects remain)
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/92187841/Nohat-effects.vpk
-----------------------
(put in custom folder)
-removes unusual effects. Works very well with Nohats mod! This will increase your FPS by around 1-4. Garaunteed to increase FPS

-----------------------
Remove Bullet Hole Dust
http://drok-radnik.com/junk/surfaceproperties.txt
-----------------------
(tf> custom> my_custom_stuff> scripts: make a new text document called "surfaceproperties")
-Removes Dust that are in bullet holes (useful in spammy situations)

----------------------
No explosion smoke script
https://mega.nz/#!cxYWGQbD!cDx_flldisJ7bErs-vZQ5StS9NlM3GBoYq0DAukNQZM
---------------------
(put in custom folder)
-Makes explosions more simplified. I've come across many and this is the best one for FPS. Very effective with spammy situations!
*I absolutely love this mod!

HUDS

-some hud elements can take up FPS. Mostly from crosshairs- i recommend default crosshairs that are already in TF2
-fps counters can also decrease FPS. Net_graph x and cl_showfps x can decrease FPS by 2 or 3. disable these unless you really want to see your FPS.

HUDS ITSELF

-there many HUDS out there! the good ones are found in huds.tf
-most huds shouldn't effect FPS. So these don't really matter in most cases.

My hud right now is EVE HUD. Very simple, beautiful HUD
http://gamebanana.com/guis/download/25711
(put in custom folder)

WINDOWS SETTINGS (mac users can try to follow, but i don't use a mac)

-----------------------
Adjust Visual effects of windows to "Best Performance" http://www.techsupportalert.com/content/how-adjust-visual-settings-windows-7-best-performance.htm
-----------------------
-nothing much to say here.. just saves more memory.

!THATS IT!
-Hope this guide helped you! give me feedback. :)

My laptop specs
Dell Inspiron 1440
intel graphics chipset family 2.2 Ghz
4GB RAM

Nothing special

Thank you for reading this guide! hope you liked it!

Props to comanglia! this whole thing was inspired by it

#33 How do you study? in Off Topic
MarxistThe other thing I did was use vick's vapor rub. So while you study, slather a bit of that menthol scented junk on one of your arms (I use my non-writing hand). Then, before you show up to take your exam, put a bit more of the vapor rub on your arm - hopefully your brain has built of a significant association between the vapor rub and the information you were studying the night before. Sometimes I could even remember exactly what was written on my pre-exam sheets that I'd write out.

wtf LOL

#7 Playing on a team with an iffy schedule in Off Topic
Elepimpjoshuawnsnipthanks for the advice. Im definitely not considering quiting hockey im definitely going to be playing as long as possible, I was just trying to see if people thought if i should try to play tf2 with my hockey schedule being conflicted with normal tf2 scrim and match times or is I should just wait until next season when hockey is over.

since you care about hockey, i wouldn't if i were you.

#26 How do you study? in Off Topic

i'm pretty lax about studying for finals.

i try to reconstruct most of my courses' materials from well-established sets of atomic facts to minimize the amount i have to memorize. during this process, i'll identify the most abstract concepts from each course and construct a memory palace (or, more trivially but less effectively, use mnemonics) to memorize sequential processes (i.e. mathematical algorithms, historical timelines, interactions between objects, etc.) that haven't already been ingrained &/or cannot be trivially decomposed (usually because they're pedagogically local in scope).

#5 Playing on a team with an iffy schedule in Off Topic

video games can be played at any age. on the other hand, your chances to play hockey seriously will most certainly decline substantially as you grow older & have more real-life commitments to manage. and since it's an actual physical sport, you may completely miss out if you don't commit while you're still (relatively) young.

if you care about hockey, then just focus on your real-life well-being & prioritize hockey as your main hobby. being distracted by two competitive hobbies simultaneously is just going to divide up your attention unnecessarily & inhibit your potential.

if you never planned on taking hockey seriously, then you need to realistically consider whether your attitude aligns with the expectations of your hockey team & your prospective tf2 team.

most importantly, don't stress yourself out just to make an "iffy schedule" work.
