Anyone have good recommendations for a Starcraft setup for wooting profile?

#

I just got the full length and am trying to figure out what would be good for SC

#

I know theres unlikely to be many SC players using this keyboard since most of them despise linear switches

worn crescent
#

Probably a low but reasonable actuation like .5-.6 and a short .2-.3 reset distance would work well for SC

#

Quick but not a ton of accidental actuations

The true threat to gaming. Ubisoft like mentality.

Don't own games, keep buying our micro transaction filled garbage, which competes for attention in a super competitive market.

For those of you who are like me and don’t know much about gaming technology, make sure to disable adaptive sync as it gives you a slower hz than your maximum, I realised this only today after using the same monitor for months

#

The difference is about 60hz on my monitor (165hz)

# willow quiver For those of you who are like me and don’t know much about gaming technology, ma...

Adaptive Sync, synchronises the monitor's FPS to the game. The reason your monitors Hz goes down with it enabled is likely because your game can't hit the maximum 165Hz, thus the monitors needs to slow down to compensate.
Adaptive sync is meant to reduce screen tearing (when the monitor receives a second image whilst still drawing the last one, making the image cut half way inbetween, and latency by having the monitor draw the frames it gets them, rather then waiting

willow quiver

It never drops below 190

#

When uncapped it’s around 300-400 but it makes my pc too warm, my pc cooling can handle it but my room turns into a sauna so I have it capped at 200

#

I play in a small room so it gets hot really quickly

severe compass
#

Is your GPU driver up to date?

willow quiver
#

I turned it off anyway cause if it syncs to game’s fps then I don’t need it, I play mostly first person shooter games and have my fps capped above my hz

severe compass
#

You can try the factory reset option if you have further issues. In the meantime goodluck

Ughhhh... I hate the Bloodlines 2 reboot so much. No more a fledgling vampire, now you're an elder.

still spire
#

lol

#

What

#

An Elder?

#

How does that work?

feral ferry
#

I thought it would be in a development hell forever

still spire
#

Elders in VTM are like close to demi gods, in terms of gameplay, they'd have to be makign you feel pretty powerful

#

Leveling up won't make sense from a lore perspective lol

orchid prism
#

Completely turning over the previous script.

#

So salty. I was so invested in the whole Thinblood approach, where you had to eat a vamp to become a clan.

still spire
#

I mean yeah, how are they gonna explaing leveling up, getting new abilities ect, now

#

Just gonna start at max power?

#

Or some lame excuse

orchid prism
#

If I had to guess they're going to make you lose powers and remember them somehow over the course of the game.

#

Like the Deus Ex Reboot

still spire
#

lol

#

Dues Ex Reboot made sense within the lore of the universe, but if you're an Amnesiac Elder...

#

Cmon man

#

I thought it was bad looking before

#

Now it's just toast

orchid prism
#

The trailer gameplay has a very... uhh... Dishonoured feel to it.

still spire
#

Somewhat

orchid prism
#

Don't get me wrong - I don't mind the idea of being a named character. But that's never been Bloodline's vibe. You were a newcomer, a stranger to the world of darkness.

Redemption gave you a named character.

#

But come on... We've had a narrated campaign and all built around the thinbloods, even new ruleset material.

still spire
#

Yeah but Redemption was still just a baby, named or not

#

Good game though

orchid prism
#

Yeah that's fair. You had a similar path to Bloodlines there.

still spire
#

They shoulda really gone nuts here, have it in the year 2300 and have the player character from Bloodlines show up as an Elder you devour and steal his power. 😛

#

VTM: Cyberpunk

#

IT's gonna be bad already, why not just go for something really weird

ungatotrue actual game release is far more important to judge

drifting rose
#

signs are not pointing that it will be great or anything. I saw an interview with the producer who was accompanied by the concept artist of OG SH2 and akira yamaoka, who both looked like they were about to sleep

#

then there was that interactive series they streamed last halloween, and it was clear that there is still no quality control in this franchise

If FTC has approved merger under the condition that ActiBlizz would retain mostly independent from Microsoft, and MS fired AB staff, because it want to replace them with own staff... Well, I think that'd be both anti-trust and class-action duck_sip

that would be some redundancies

but from what it seems they just made game teams smaller

I fail to see how that would help the fired workers.

fringe salmon
#

the leadership would not be with MS anymore and they could get the jobs back

orchid prism
#

Yeah... no?

fringe salmon
#

yes?

orchid prism
#

You would have to rehire everyone on new contracts. You can't reverse those, due to a TON of employment red tape and laws.

fringe salmon
#

yeah it's not done in 2 days but they would have different people make decisions and they could rehire people on new contracts

#

im not saying they are just getting reverted back but that it could open up all the positions and people applying for it that originally had it are obviously likely to get it again if they want

severe compass
#

TBH, I am certain that ActiBlizzard management would've done a mass layoff as well. We've already seen their leadership really can't be considered ethical

fringe salmon
#

thats just random speculation

severe compass
#

Based on evidence given by the recent trends of mass layoffs

fringe salmon
#

given that the most value for Ms is in Kind and not the rest of ABK, whereas ABK standing alone would have much larger need of the AB parts, not really

severe compass
#

A lot of these layoffs are not done in a logical order. I am not convinced Actiblizzard would've done any different

#

ActiBlizzard ain't run by the same fellas that ran it 20-30 years ago. The top has filled up with beancounters who are just like every other beancounter.
Have a look at OverWatch 2. Big promises about how it was going to be the next big thing, but the team floundered with no funding to actually develop anything. Anything that is except for the new battlepass system that was going to earn more money then the lootboxes. A move demanded by the beancounters.
It's only saving grace was going to be a story mode...

#

Or look at COD

fringe salmon
#

no clue how any of that is relevant to the fact almost no layoffs happend at King afaik which would not have happened if they needed more parts of AB to be standalone

not for long evilpatrick

Anyways, conversion rate looks ok...20$ gets you 2000 "Super credits"

And a skin is 50-150 credits

That's better than most games, honestly.

#

Darktide wants like 30$ for a skin lol

Still wish it didn't have one, but it's hidden and way better valued than it's contemparies

proper basin

yeah that sounds pretty good, especially for a $40 game

still spire

Yeah I mean if you drop 20$ you could probably get like 7-8 things VS other games...where you get like 1.

#

Also keep in mind you can earn the premium currency in game

#

Slowly mind you, but you can

#

They iron out the technical side of things, this game will have a long shelf life

proper basin

yeah, itll be a right step

still spire
#

You get a ship like the first game, but this one you can customize with name, appearence and even add stuff too it, kinda some small flavor of fun

the anticheat will still probably plague the game perception for eternity but fixing the game as it is right now is far more important

You can set ur own local backups easily, i've done it before problem is gotta think about running your script to avoid corrupting your own save files

Aka graphics settings

Cause if you have more than one device it sucks needing to change those each time

it was originally to have a save backup in case the PC went down
now that people are bouncing between devices, it's a problem

would make more sense to just not save graphics settings at all imo

Ayyyyy according to the Steam hardware survey, about 2 million Steam users are on Deck

while around 6 millionm are on Linux

#

at least 2 million Decks sold.....damn! thats amazing

I will say here that my deck has had 0 hardware surveys when I got multiple on my desktop in the same timeframe. It would not surprise me that the deck due to it's portable nature and only being used when gaming is underreported.

Yeah, same.. havent had any show up for me either on Deck

Except last year, there was one

hmm, i like the look of that orange pi neo

the only thing that'd suck about it is the fact it wouldn't have the same massive support that something like the Lenovo Legion, ROG Ally, or Steam Deck has.

the fact it uses a 2280 ssd is nice.

from both a power user and casual perspective

fading spade
#

Yeah :/ Windows is odd like that

worn crescent
fading spade
#

I do have bad news though

If you use the taskbar on any edge of the display that isn't the bottom
You can't do so anymore in Windows 11
Taskbar is basically permanently glued to the bottom edge

.-.

#

And if you use a registry edit to move it
Only the bar moves but non of the menus that pop up from it

#

They also removed the virtual desktop switching animation when using the keyboard shortcut
No more slide to the left or right to let you know you actually did something
Your open windows just disappear instead with no indication you actually switched to a different desktop

Appreciate the heads up though 👍

But moooom, he started it

how is the game? is it good?

#

It's good when people don't spam air strikes. 😛

#

But yeah it's a fun game, just a bit of a technical mess.

It's fun when the servers work

I mean, it isn't P2W, and their cash shop is one of the fairfest to date - but what the fuck is that title?

It is pay to win by the definition of the term, "paying real money gives a significant advantage over those who don't."

#

Co-op games are different in that regard. You can also earn everything by playing.

#

At a reasonable rate too, that is

#

Battle passes also never go away, I mean sure, I'd much rather none of this nonsense

#

But this is the stupid world we live in

#

It's a COOP game with no inherent need for a centralized server, that enforces unlocks via DRM.
Anyone leading that project has lost the right to make any kind of points as far as I'm concerned. 😄

I can agree with Mansen there

#

Sadly the court of public opinion is hailing the devs as heroes

#

It's weird to see

#

When I think back on that stupid 2$ Horse armor and how we've come...

It's like any game that introduces some kind of "social hub" specifically to let players show off their cosmetics bought with real money, as a way to drive micro transactional sales.

#

The first game had this stuff, and DLC packs, but it was kind of part of the experience and for funsies. Darktide is the one that really went heavy over that.

#

The hub in Darktide literally exists just for cosmetics

#

And it's a boring mess

#

Helldivers 2 is doing so well despite all this, I can't imagine if they had properly tested their game and not gone with such poor choices as nProtect and GaAS.

There are six different currencies in the game, plus experience. If they hadn't tied functionally different guns to cash-bought currency, then it wouldn't be P2W.

#

Whoa hol up there

#

Those weapons can be earned without buying mtx

#

You gotta put in the grind, but it's a grind that comes naturally as you play. The first game had them as 5$ DLC.

#

Had plenty lol

#

Game was 20$ though and came with like a free extra copy, but still
