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)

wholesome content alert

my bots were kinda carrying in some moments on sunday. they would just do such unexpected shit that it would work. pubber-movement-type vibes

i'm assuming balance is coming for those folks, which will be nice. i really enjoyed adding up with a few friends and just shooting the shit while playing in a really solid pub, i'd probably not play if ""stacks"" were no longer a thing.

casual please

not too hard to push though, most sentry spots on 5gorge last are decently spammable or just generally bad

i love the drudge of 5cp community servers but yeah, it's not right for faceit imo. the only decent 5cp pub map imo is 5gorge but even that can be really terrible

watchparty @ next lan, anyone?

had a bunch of fun playing for a few hours tonight. people were comming things in a way i haven't really heard since 2013ish, and I had a really great time

remove ctf maps, add some pub staples (gorge/5gorge?, lakeside?, frontier?, goldrush?) and it will be 10/10.

esea also fucking sucked

we need coaches friends :)
