if any third party every manages to do something remotely meaningful (other than sway some states' presidential election votes to less representative outcomes), i will happily start paying attention to them

but given how the green party is seemingly made up of TERFs/ ppl afraid of wifi and the libertarian party is primarily made up of fucking idiots, i don't have any meaningful reason to care about their existence. other parties are even less important here in america

friendly reminder to anyone in this thread that mastercomms has spend a shitload of time pushing fps configs pretty much as far as we can reasonably expect and that there is a place to donate for that work here

no.

miles/hour communicates the same thing as hours/mile. there is no functional or mathematic difference. even if hours/mile were better at communicating the measurement linguistically (there's a decent argument there), there's no functional benefit warranting the switch to an entirely new system.

i have no idea if a frametime of __ ms is good or bad, but i immediately understand what __ fps visually is. that is the crux of what everyone in this thread is trying to tell you

fps changes every frame. it's not actually measuring the past second.

it is much easier for us to think in terms of fps because it operates on a much easier scale for folks to understand (generally 30-300 except in extremes) as opposed to spf which is weird (.3-.03 i think lol?)

it's like how we measure car speed in miles/hour, but it's not actually the amount of distance we've traveled in the past hour. just the amount we would travel if we were to continue at that exact speed the next hour

I promise you that isn't mastercomm's fault.

cant wait to lose my bench spot

It's hard to keep mixes going, and NA mixes only work due to a few people doing huge amounts of thankless work for extended periods of time (i did it when i was in high school from like '13-'14, others have stepped up since). EU so far hasn't found anyone that is able to do it consistently.

I am happy to help anyone willing to organize weekly EU newbie mixes. Anyone w reasonable rep is welcomed to hmu, and I will get game/mumble servers set up for you for free

we have the most fun bench tbh

can we uhhhhhh make this tourney happen? rofl

if it's not on/spinning, just don't throw/drop it and you're good lol, it'll almost definitely be fine.

you shouldn't be keeping any mission-critical/ important files only on one HDD anyways

I only ever take out my gpu (currently a 3090 so it's huge) and transport it in its original box. i would do the same if i had an air cpu cooler

everything else is fine as long as your pc isn't held together by glue/tape lol

coffee to start the day. guji mane pourover, great coffee from memphis; coworker's brother is the roaster. order some it's amazing

going to have a late breakfast with some frozen from-scratch biscuits a friend gave us (leftover fried chicken on em). will likely take a nap immediately afterwards

for non-gaming, yes. 1440p is a minimum for me with new displays.

for tf2, i find it much easier to play with a crisper, more easily decipherable image. it's not an objective upgrade (see: b4nny res works real good for him ¯\_(ツ)_/¯), but a preference. my preference is being able to easily see anything, even if it's super far away (like on process seeing a sniper on their second deep from their mid forward spawn, for example)

i'm also able to run 1440p games at 144fps+ constant because i'm lucky to have a great pc (video editing freelance work necessity). in teamfights (or god forbit pubs) most machines won't quite get there unless your specs are pretty balled out

re: 240hz v 360hz, you are pretty deep into diminishing returns at that point. the jump from 120 to 240 is way more pronounced than the jump from 240 to 360, even though it's the same amount of additional frames per second. frame times start to get way way closer

60 fps   16.7ms per frame
120 fps  8.3ms per frame (~8 ms improvement, huge deal)
240 fps  4.2 ms per frame (~4 ms improvement, p good improvement)
360 fps  2.8ms per frame (~2 ms improvement. meh)
480 fps  2.2 ms per frame (hypothetical, ~1 ms improvement, rofl)

keeping in mind that peak, absolute-best reaction time for humans is like 100ms, it's getting to a point of almost no real-world benefit

i can't see a big difference beyond 144hz.

i opted for a 144hz 1440p monitor, which has been amazingly helpful for hitscan, particularly sniper for me

like scrambled said, blur is the biggest issue with current monitors imo

why rallo got so much toxicity (much worse trait)
