And make up rumors about me were good

[small nimbus]

[normal barn]

[small nimbus]

yknow to all the mutual people i know

[sly warren]

Cholax, don't fret. When I was 13, the majority of my friends were significantly older than I was.

[normal barn]

As long as it's not bad stuff about me we're good

[small nimbus]

im just joking who am i gonna talk to about you behind your back

i dont even know how to render videos on vegas ;;

[timber ridge]

vegas looks too hard

[small nimbus]

i dont have nitro so i can't post the raw file so im trying to upload it but yuotube bullying me

[timber ridge]

gg

i used ae

apparently its harder than vegas but its easy for me

[small nimbus]

lowkey kinda wanna take a photoshop class but i dont have any reason to

[timber ridge]

i use to design for the cod community lmao

[timber ridge]

made avis, headers, and twitch overlays but that was long ago

[small nimbus]

the old lance

[tacit wing]

POG lance

[timber ridge]

i got bored of designing and picked up editing

then got bored of that and did music for a while lol

[tacit wing]

the only "creative" thing i did was photography

but the interest faded

[timber ridge]

photography was too expensive so i didnt get into it

[tacit wing]

wat

no

i live in the I.E.

[timber ridge]

o

apparently there is a schiit headquarter there or some

and you can pick up orders there

[tacit wing]

oh yeah its an hour away from me

an hour and a half given the usual LA traffic

probably 2

[timber ridge]

la traffic is cursed

[tacit wing]

they call it the Schiitr

you can try out some of their gear only if you bring your own headphones

[sly warren]

No, Houston Traffic is cursed.

[timber ridge]

thats p epic

@small nimbus sick penta

idk how you play unlock cam tho

[small nimbus]

you have to eventually

[tacit wing]

aev nuts on LoL?

[sly warren]

Unlocked Camera is the way to go on MOBAs

[swift lantern]

pain, suffering ev3en

[timber ridge]

mmm, the champs i play make it too hard to play unlocked

[tacit wing]

bout to post my 58x on OfferUp soon

SALUTE !!!

[timber ridge]

gl

[tacit wing]

id post them on eBay but i dont feel like shipping

i have to get a box and all that jazz

[small nimbus]

well tbf you don't really need unlocked cam if you're not playing macro

[timber ridge]

i unlock camera if i have to look somewhere, i play locked for the majority

[small nimbus]

yea its healthy imo

bc then you don't have to worry about camera when you're fighting/csing

[timber ridge]

i can play cam unlocked while playing adc, but with lee and zed its super hard

bc im flying cross map constantly

[last plinth]

my dad was a photographer

he said his career was ruined cuz i was born

:(

[small nimbus]

i'll ruin ur dad for being toxic

[tacit wing]

i smell a 6xx and Starfields soon

[small nimbus]

your wallet is never empty...

[tacit wing]

thats because i have no girlfriend

[small nimbus]

[swift lantern]

[tacit wing]

i dont think my area is exactly into headphones so i doubt that ill sell my cans soon

if all else fails ebay it is

[timber ridge]

thats one thing im looking forward to when i move out

offerup in sf bouta hit differently

[swift lantern]

sucks being a person entirely consistent of niche interests

[small nimbus]

so kuzu

is that a no on being friends

[swift lantern]

we can be friends but it's not the same as in person

[small nimbus]

in person is banned anyways

[tacit wing]

i refuse to believe that yall are real people

[swift lantern]

what if I just...

[tacit wing]

yes

[timber ridge]

isnt there a similar amp for 200

[swift lantern]

honestly a50 would probably be better hahah

wait yeah it totally would

yeah think I'm gonna shoot for a50s

probably get it off of drop.com if I can since I got them points from the 6xx

[timber ridge]

whats the difference betweent he s and reg a50

[swift lantern]

I think s is just a revision?

bit more power

[timber ridge]

you gonna pair it up with a e30?

[swift lantern]

e10k

[timber ridge]

ooo nice

im either doing schiit stack, topping stack or 1 from each

[thick plank]

@swift lantern a50 isn't a balanced output though so not a perfect comparison

But it actually is slightly lower distortion if I'm remembering right which is great as the 789 is already really good

[swift lantern]

don't care

[tacit wing]

[swift lantern]

a50s it is

[timber ridge]

danngg

did u put in the order yet

[queen sigil]

@timber ridge https://pcpartpicker.com/list/jM4yHz

[timber ridge]

very gamer pc

[swift lantern]

imma wait to see if that [insulting] stimulus even drops

[swift lantern]

turns out it's kinda tough to find balanced output

that isn't those dumb xlr cables, bleck

[swift lantern]

dino

[tacit wing]

yes

[swift lantern]

https://www.amazon.com/Monitor-Musician-Earphone-Magnetic-Headphone/dp/B0813145L4

these

THESE

THEEEEEESE

[timber ridge]

what do they compare to

[swift lantern]

there is nothing like them that I've ever seen

did you read what they have

[tacit wing]

dynamic and a planar

this mf swings both ways ok

[timber ridge]

o didnt see that

inna val game so i glanced at it quick

[swift lantern]

dynamic, planar, AND a balanced armature

bruh momento

these might be endgame iems for me personally

if only they were 2 pin instead of mmcx

[tacit wing]

just bc its a frankenstein iem

[swift lantern]

gotta have a dynamic for biggest deepest bass, armature handles the highs, etc

in theory, it should be what I'm lookin for

the year is 2025: they come out with the TRI i4, it has an electrostatic tweeter as well

[timber ridge]

my end game rn is oh10

[swift lantern]

where I find those btw

ikko?

[timber ridge]

yup

[swift lantern]

$135 hmm

[timber ridge]

but im lil 97% getting fh3

[swift lantern]

they probably pretty good as well

idk probably can't go wrong tbh

especially if you're a sane individual who is willing to mess with eq

why are the oh10s like

lumpy

[timber ridge]

idk

ikko style

[swift lantern]

I think they were going for a rustic metal look but it's smoothed out too much so it just looks lumpy

what if I made a youtube channel and reviewed the audio products people don't get so often and also wasn't pompous about it

[timber ridge]

wait are oh10s 135 rn ?

[swift lantern]

on amazoon at least

so far as I can tell

[timber ridge]

swear

its usually 200

[swift lantern]

oh that's what it says they usually are but I didn't believe it

amazon like 99% of the time says stuff is on sale even when it's not

[timber ridge]

ok

i might

jus buy them rn and get the amp later

[swift lantern]

I like that cable

amp for phone?

bro they're 18ohm

wth

WHY DO THEY DO THIS

[timber ridge]

pc amp

[swift lantern]

the tri i3 are 15 ohm

BRUH

I hate iem companies

15ohm means it'd max out at like 40% volume

[timber ridge]

fh3 are 24ohm

[swift lantern]

see that's reasonable

making it too low does 2 things

1. you now have to turn them DOWN on even something as weak as your PHONE
2. they are now even more sensitive to background static n stuff

[timber ridge]

idk, the oh10 hav more bass

but both have a good amount

[swift lantern]

go with oh10 it's 2 pin

here's the real question, with a planar magnetic in there, how the heck did they get the i3 to be 15ohm

like the p1 are 20 and I even thought that was a bit low

[timber ridge]

mannn

the oh10 would be perfect if it wasnt lumpy

wait it comes with anime girl on the box

[swift lantern]

if you have the aptitude, you could try adding a design to them

[timber ridge]

gonna see what it comes with

bc the fh3 comes with a lot of goodies

https://youtu.be/-eB2ho55yJk?t=135

so op

[tacit wing]

holup

[swift lantern]

when an audiophile tells you "too much bass"

that means "an actually adequate amount of bass"

[timber ridge]

yea lol

oh10 has more of it

[swift lantern]

I do not have the wallet emote

[tacit wing]

[swift lantern]

"so what are you gonna spend your $600 on?'

"..... stuff"

[small nimbus]

[timber ridge]

u good

[swift lantern]

[tacit wing]

i just looked up the oh10 and

wtf is that

[swift lantern]

what is what

[tacit wing]

it looks like they threw it down a rocky mountain to get all that dents and repolished it

[swift lantern]

yeah I think they were going for the chunky metal look

like you'll see on old pieces of armor and stuff

but then they polished it again (probably to avoid sharp edges)

[tacit wing]

its shaped like a bicycle seat

it looks premium af tho

[swift lantern]

this kind of look

at that point though I think I'd prefer them to be fully machined like a t2

[tacit wing]

i like the blob look of the t2 plus

t2 pro looks like a blowdryer

[swift lantern]

Aaaaah I hate t2 plus and pro

Then t4 they figured it out again

[timber ridge]

hmmm

I need help deciding, fh3 or oh10

[swift lantern]

Seriously go oh10

Just cuz 2 pin

[tacit wing]

soundstage seems pretty good on the ikko

[swift lantern]

My t2 still work 99.9% of the time

[timber ridge]

soundstage on both r really good

[swift lantern]

But there's those times where a weird signal thing happens and it bothers me... So much

And afaik it's cuz mmcx weirdness

[timber ridge]

welp, it looks like my amp purchases is gonna be pushed back

[swift lantern]

[timber ridge]

stock cable doesn't look as good as fh3 tho I think

[swift lantern]

[timber ridge]

this is not pog

[tacit wing]

yes

[timber ridge]

jan21 is too long

[tacit wing]

yes

[last plinth]

[timber ridge]

[stoic solar]

[final notch]

can i use vegtable oil to lube my mouse

[stoic solar]

[tacit wing]

you have to use gaming lube

[cunning hearth]

Why do u even need to lube a mouse lol

[queen sigil]

do people lube mice

[gloomy berry]

Switches sometimes

Depends on the switch

They will literally start squeaking lol

[cunning hearth]

Hm

Never had that problem

[neon quartz]

kuzu | BLM#5709 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[swift lantern]

I didn't even think of that

Do I get holiday pay?

If so that's a 37 hour week for me

[queen sigil]

Logitech c922 good or bad

or are there better alternatives

[civic kestrel]

does anyone know a brand of mouse grip? or should I make my own

[plain silo]

@civic kestrel there are a few good ones out there

Glorious makes some for their mice. Lizard Skins makes grips and a couple other companies

[civic kestrel]

the only one I saw that was shipping through canada was lizard but they are quite pricy!

[tacit wing]

i used dragon gripz on my Viper back then

i now use Razer's official mouse grip which is more rubbier

the thing with universal grips is that you have to stencil your mouse by yourself

[wooden gust]

Good deal on g502

[gloomy berry]

Wow

[wooden gust]

Tempting

[timber ridge]

its been like that for the last 2 months

[queen sigil]

anybody know of like a bluetooth adapter for pc

mobo has bad bluetooth

[sharp kindle]

I think the regular g502 has been like that for a long time

If you want to get that, i would reccomend the basilisk wireless

[daring zenith]

MOW and wrist rest arrived :D

[sharp kindle]

or whatever the heavy af razer g502 clone is called

last i checked it was 50 bucks or something

pretty poggers, Mr1111

[timber ridge]

need the first impressions

and basilisk i think

[sharp kindle]

yes i wanna know if the MOW is good

and how the build quality

boardzy and badseedtech said the build quality improved which is nice

[tight pulsar]

any good iems on newegg for like $50ish?

[sharp kindle]

viper mini?

pogger ftip mouse

[daring zenith]

@tight pulsar slap it in steam

[timber ridge]

you want a neutral or v shape sound

[daring zenith]

Will open up and use now in a bit

[normal barn]

t2s

blon 05s

[tight pulsar]

ic

whats the difference between v and neutral sound lol idk which i like

well i should say i havent tried either

[timber ridge]

neutral is more balanced you can say

[normal barn]

i havent tried withre too

[timber ridge]

v is like lots of low end, lots of high end

[normal barn]

@daring zenith make a vid

[daring zenith]

Vid of what

[normal barn]

mode o wireless

and ooo

is that a schi fulla

3

[timber ridge]

@tight pulsar one of the best budget iems is blon 03

[daring zenith]

Ye

[normal barn]

look niceeee

the model o look nice

how big is it

[timber ridge]

mow is gonna be a 2021 purchase

unless razer does something

[daring zenith]

Side by side with gpw

[timber ridge]

crazy how the mow is cheaper than the og gpw and superlight

[daring zenith]

Looks like glorious took inspiration from logi for the connector lel

[stoic solar]

dont talk to me or my son ever again

i like those uh

snap on usb cables

[timber ridge]

magnetic ?

[stoic solar]

yea

[daring zenith]

Why does the cable on the MOW feel so nice

so much better than the cable I need to charge the GPW with

This feels like using a GPW wirelessly

[timber ridge]

glorious got their cable game down

[daring zenith]

Yea

All I need now is software so I can do 600dpi

[timber ridge]

i only really have space for one more purchase

and i think issa be iems

[daring zenith]

Only thing I like more from the GPW than the MOW so far is the scrollwheel lel

the "texture" feels weird

[stoic solar]

im so sad glorious doesnt sell box jades or pinks

[timber ridge]

why lol

[daring zenith]

Hm

Should've bought the slim wrist rest tbh

[normal barn]

SAMEEEEE

[daring zenith]

thicc

[normal barn]

magnetic usb cables

are poggerssss

[stoic solar]

they seem convenient to buy from

[daring zenith]

Magnetic seems pog

[timber ridge]

since u like clicky, have u seen outemu phoenix

[stoic solar]

https://youtu.be/XgE-5CVfH88

o thats hott

[queen sigil]

box switches all just feel really bad imo

the double click thing or whatever feels terrible

[stoic solar]

honeslty i do it for the sound cause my fingers have nerve damage

[normal barn]

LOL

[stoic solar]

doesnt matter how they feel cause i barely feel anything

[queen sigil]

the just buy cherry blues

basically liek the loudest

[stoic solar]

not clicky enough

[queen sigil]

but iyou literally said you cant feel anything

[stoic solar]

s o u n d

need me one of these

https://www.youtube.com/watch?t=39s&v=hK2cnxXauls&feature=youtu.be

[queen sigil]

blues are like

the loudest switch

[stoic solar]

as someone with blues and jades

jades are louder

[gloomy berry]

I like clicks

That's annoying

[timber ridge]

outemu phoenix are stupid loud

[tight pulsar]

phoenixs are nice

[sharp kindle]

pretty sure outemu blues can make someone go deaf

from what i've heard

[daring zenith]

@sharp kindle hmmmm I have a K552 with outemu blues next to me....

[sharp kindle]

oh no

[swift lantern]

Remember how I mentioned those tri i3's

[tacit wing]

[burnt thicket]

should i get model d- or kone pure ultra

literally cannot decide

[timber ridge]

so u getting the i3s?

[tacit wing]

the D is a safer shape

the kone pure in particular is a very niche shape, its a hit or miss for the majority

[burnt thicket]

hmm

[tacit wing]

though if the shape is for you and you've tried it out in person it's actually top tier

[burnt thicket]

ive never tried it

havent really looked into mice b4

rn i have an mx anywhere 2s so like

[tacit wing]

also the D has a way better cable

and i dont think the Kone in particular has stock PTFE feet

[burnt thicket]

hmmm

alr ty

[tacit wing]

i have tried the Kone and the coating is pretty great

but it do be needing some mods to make it S tier

[swift lantern]

I've still gotta do research but it'd be fair to say I'm interested in the i3s

[timber ridge]

if it was priced a bit lower, it would prob be an easier decision

[swift lantern]

Not necessarily

[timber ridge]

at that price range, theres a lot of good options

[tacit wing]

razer synapse is pure booty cheeks jesus christ

[queen sigil]

razer

[tacit wing]

they cannot make good software if their life depended on it

[timber ridge]

logitech has best software imo

havent tried glorious yet tho

[sharp kindle]

glorious core

from what ive heard is ok

the old one is extremely meh

[tacit wing]

synapse doesnt even update the hardware with the latest firmware, you have to MANUALLY go to Razer's site and download it

are they even aware that its 2020

braindead Razer

Lance, if you haven't already, download the firmware for your V Mini because it lowers the LOD of the 3359 sensor in it

which is like the majority of the complaint on that sensor

[stoic solar]

steelseries has the best software cause i only had to use it once and the mouse keeps the settings no matter where i go

[sharp kindle]

that doesnt mean its good bro

[tacit wing]

Alot of peripheral software does that and onboard memory is pretty much standard, what is odd with Synapse is that it doesnt do firmware updates, which pretty much other peripheral softwares do

[sharp kindle]

most mice nowadays can save profiles

[west hornet]

All software bad

Make own custom

[stoic solar]

true

i judge the usefulness of software like that based on how little i have to interact with it

[west hornet]

Razer’s I only really go to when it fails to start up lol

[timber ridge]

im so split on iems rn

and im not gonna double up this time

[tacit wing]

or the dented helmet ones

[west hornet]

That looks like fallout

[tacit wing]

THATS WHAT I SAID TOO

Blon05S Fallout vibes

[timber ridge]

if my budget cap was like 60

i would no doubt pick up blon 05s

[tacit wing]

Ikko

[timber ridge]

blon destroys the budget range

blon 05s are my pick for 50ish

anything under my pick is blon 03

and the ikko shipping is killing me

i get it when i get back to school

[tacit wing]

ever consider er2's?

if you can stomach the fit of them lmao

[timber ridge]

i feel like its gonna touch my brain

[tacit wing]

[normal barn]

Lol

No cap

They look bad

And they gonna pop ur eardrums then squish ur brain out

[tacit wing]

they sound as good as much as they are gopping to look at

[timber ridge]

shipping times is the only thing stopping me from copping oh10s rn

[normal barn]

Lol

[queen sigil]

i mean is it better or worse than

like keyboard shipping times

as in like GB times

[stoic solar]

tru

[timber ridge]

nothing near gb times

but i wouldnt get anything that isnt a gb that has gb shipping times

[tacit wing]

keyboard mfs foreal wait in MONTHS for molded plastic

[queen sigil]

i mena

kbd67 arriving in Q1 2021

and thats apretty good

[normal barn]

Lol

[timber ridge]

shipping isnt as bad now

[small nimbus]

2021 though that's a whole year away

[tacit wing]

meanwhile, Kuzu still waiting for his 6xx

do it bro

[timber ridge]

its out of stock, so that shipping is reasonable

weeb packaging

the packaging and design of the kxxs is unbeatable tho imo

[tacit wing]

the artwork looks like bargain Starfields

[timber ridge]

what box do the starfields come with

[timber ridge]

the ikko packaging fits the starfields better lol

spring 2 were tempting bc how nice they look

[west hornet]

Wow that look pretty nice

[tacit wing]

thinking about getting SSR's just because its her sister

[swift lantern]

bingus

why doesn't drop.com have the a50s

[tacit wing]

no one has dm'd me on my 58x on offerup

i knew this was hopeless

[swift lantern]

how much you sellin em for anyway

[tacit wing]

100 flat

was hoping to get a quick buck but seems like mfs are broke during the holidays

[swift lantern]

I know a guy who might

🤫

what earbuds she got on

[tacit wing]

theyre shaped like ikkos

no idea

[swift lantern]

it's asca

the lady

[tacit wing]

oh shoot Carti dropped

pog

[timber ridge]

its eh

imo

[swift lantern]

carti?

b or playboy?

[tacit wing]

you form your opinions too soon lance

it just dropped like 15 min ago

and its a 24 track album

[timber ridge]

im in a disc server

and we played most of it

[swift lantern]

Listened to all of "songs to get murdered to", meh

[tacit wing]

the 5xx handles hiphop and r&b terribly

gotta switch to the PP

[swift lantern]

fr?

[high fulcrum]

carti....

[swift lantern]

FR?

[last plinth]

yo its kinda trash

[swift lantern]

I don't like rap like, in general so my opinion doesn't matter

[high fulcrum]

Legit when was carti ever good?

[tacit wing]

[timber ridge]

splur gang era was goated

tragic that fauni didnt blow up as much

[tacit wing]

some of these beats produced by Ye, no wonder it sounds wacky

Die Lit was carried by its production and it was soooo good

[timber ridge]

i miss old carti when he was cool with uno and fauni

goated times

[last plinth]

cartis drop ruined

the beat mannnn

[neon quartz]

cntrlkey#7926 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[last plinth]

carti is actually a homosexual vampire wtf

cartis best old song imo is fetti

theres also this

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KJAhTjLFjLE

god damn it gives me nostalgia to this day

[swift lantern]

The darwin's game OP in flac

actually 130mb but can't upload that lmao

[tacit wing]

Pissy Pamper didnt make it in the album

some of these tracks in WLR have been floating around in SoundCloud for years lol

expected since Carti gets leaked all the time

[last plinth]

how do people even manage to get it

[timber ridge]

idek

but his leaks been hovering around sc and reddit

and twit

[swift lantern]

lmk if a new Lynch album ever leaks

[timber ridge]

gg

i need an amp and dac asap

i got a taste of good of it then gg

static

[swift lantern]

ikr

I'm really wondering if I should go ifi zen actually

Like topping a50s is poggers n all I just have this bad feeling I'd have to run it at like 0.5% volume

[timber ridge]

zen can?

[swift lantern]

sounds good but how much is it

$50 more than a50s and less powerful

[timber ridge]

isnt it 50 less

[swift lantern]

topping a50s is $199

[timber ridge]

isnt the can 150?

[swift lantern]

zen can is $249

oh I was looking at the "signature"

yeah the normal one is $150

[timber ridge]

i would get it if it fit my budget

[swift lantern]

didn't you say $150 was your budget before

[timber ridge]

for a combo

standalone, im spending like 100 on each or so

[swift lantern]

here's your dac bro

[timber ridge]

think ima do magni 3+ and l30

[tacit wing]

youre using Schitt as a Topping

[swift lantern]

bro you seriously don't need an expensive dac

[timber ridge]

ik, i can literally do meize dongle and amp

[swift lantern]

also wait

isn't magni an amp not a dac

l30 is an amp for sure

[timber ridge]

e30 then

naming scheme is similar

basically topping dac, schiit amp

[swift lantern]

why would you get a dac more expensive than your amp

[timber ridge]

l30 and schiit offering perform about the same

[swift lantern]

literally e10k that sucker

I stg

[timber ridge]

ill look into alternatives

i jus feel like ima want to upgrade the e10k or meizu dongle if i go that route

[mortal knot]

well gn merry Christmas hope you get what you asked for 🙂

[swift lantern]

things a dac does: convert the signal

[small nimbus]

i think thats impossible but ty nini

[swift lantern]

things the $130 dac will do: also convert that signal

[swift lantern]

like the only reason I think you could justify a more expensive dac is if you want bluetooth capabilities

mqa and dsd are buzzwords full stop

[tacit wing]

some dacs are dual mono which are dedicated dacs for both L and R channels, theyre pretty pricey but worth to pair a balanced amp with

but sub 100 dollar range, theyre more or less the same

[last plinth]

i spent 40$ on steam

world record

[small nimbus]

$40 on steam sale

light work

what did you get

[tacit wing]

i wouldve went to work on steam sale if it wasnt for cs and genshin keeping me busy already

and Chess

[small nimbus]

maybe i should drop you off in chess but i feel like i would choke

[tacit wing]

dinoSiwnl

[timber ridge]

smurfing

[small nimbus]

lance im gonna choke i feel it already

[timber ridge]

cheering you on from the sideline

[tacit wing]

lets run it

youre rated higher than me

[small nimbus]

im 800 in blitz

so its okay

what happen

[tacit wing]

YOURE WHITE

[timber ridge]

without context that is quite the message

[tacit wing]

.

[small nimbus]

ngl

idk why i was so scared

[tacit wing]

[small nimbus]

its ok bb

u keep practicing and you'll get better

[tacit wing]

[small nimbus]

lance look how embarrassing this is

[tacit wing]

im leaving

[small nimbus]

noooo

[tacit wing]

run it back

[small nimbus]

imo the problem is you can't mirror when you're not whit

and bishop to b4 was really bad

lose huge tempo

no i am getting ranked anxiety from this

i dont wanna run it back

[small nimbus]

unless u wanna trash talk then i'll 10-0 adopt you

[tacit wing]

i have never took an L faster in my life

ong

[small nimbus]

btw ily i'll stop trash talking

[swift lantern]

ok but can you out lift me tho bro

[tacit wing]

im out of shape

but my PR for deads is 405 and 315 for squats

my bench is wack

[tacit wing]

gg's

i need to study

[small nimbus]

no its just blitz

idk how to play chess so i only play biltz

[tacit wing]

i usually do 10 min

[small nimbus]

bc you just do safe moves/develop pieces and then wait for opponent to blunder like bishop b4 and then punish

yea 10 min is too long for me because i can't think multiple steps ahead

also high level chess like streamers and stuff don't use the queen often (unless it's botez) so if u play aggro w/ queen usually works

we can try 10 minute chess later if u want

[swift lantern]

imagine being a nerd

[tacit wing]

no we have to play 3 min

i need the time pressure

but ill lyk

i need to study

[small nimbus]

xD okok

i tried 10 min chess

i'm 2-9 and 1300 rated

i just play too aggro

[tacit wing]

you are smurfing...

[small nimbus]

u have to keep in mind there was a time where i only watched chess for like 4-5months

[tacit wing]

im literally like a silver and youre like a platinum in Valorant

[small nimbus]

i go on binges w/ whatever i'm interested in

[tacit wing]

silver vs. Legendary Eagle Master on CSGO

chess smurf 1300 elo

[small nimbus]

i'm really bad w/ openings and defense late game

[tacit wing]

i only know like two openings

ruy lopez and queen's gambit

i really need to study

[small nimbus]

idk any of the names i just always do the opening w/ knight

[tacit wing]

honestly i need to do more of the lessons and puzzles, i just play randos and thats it

its not helping me much

[timber ridge]

wait so aev was smurfing

[tacit wing]

SHES 1300 ELO

[small nimbus]

well dino also blundered

i think if we played 10 games maybe 7-3 or 8-2

[tacit wing]

STFU

[small nimbus]

steam sale lowkey saving me from playing league

[calm cobalt]

[kindred cape]

What's semi cheap

[timber ridge]

lmao

[kindred cape]

The razer one and the cougar one both get good reviews

Zowie as well

[tacit wing]

Camade is OP

[tacit wing]

Xtrfy B4

Camade is pretty much the best if you have the budget for it

[kindred cape]

Cougar and razer v2 are both $20

The camade is the zowie it's like 50 or 60 last I looked

[timber ridge]

xtrfy has really nice mice

[queen sigil]

just make your own mouse

[timber ridge]

im almost tempted to cop one

[tacit wing]

xtrfy m42 one of the best mice this year

modular shells for ftip and claw

[timber ridge]

ye that was the model i was looking at

but im not copping a wired mouse in 2021

[tacit wing]

aev just kicked my ass so bad i still cant wrap my head around that loss

[kindred cape]

I went ultralight wired with a glorious mouse

[queen sigil]

what

[tacit wing]

u mean a paracord

[queen sigil]

oh u mean ultralight as in

how light the mouse in

[timber ridge]

she was rusty too apparently

[kindred cape]

Yeah

[timber ridge]

she legit came back from the dead to beat u

[queen sigil]

i had like GPW superlight or whayevrt

in mind

[tacit wing]

Glorious paracords had a massive glo-up from their original cords

original O cord was tragic

[kindred cape]

I saw

[queen sigil]

cant complain about cord if u go wireless

[tacit wing]

the original O was packaged wonky where the cord was bent out of the box and people kept having connectivity issues

[queen sigil]

unless its like an apple mouse

[tacit wing]

SHES 1300 ELO

[queen sigil]

and you need to charge it from the underside

[tacit wing]

literal smurf

[desert bronze]

The GOW cord is pretty neat, I end up just leaving it plugged in since its my first time having those type of cable

[queen sigil]

GOW?

[desert bronze]

glorious model o wireless

[queen sigil]

oh the model o wireless

[timber ridge]

mow

[daring zenith]

MOW

[tacit wing]

MEOW

[desert bronze]

yea my brain fartted

[timber ridge]

gow kinda wonky

[little crater]

THE LAWN

[daring zenith]

yes mow cord good

I like

[queen sigil]

sassy joins chat to tell people to mow the lawn

wow

[daring zenith]

Sassy goes to sleep

[small nimbus]

LOL sassy

[desert bronze]

is it what people say is paracord? because i never used a paracorded mouse

[tacit wing]

the MOW has pretty much made all the wired O obsolete with how much they improved the quality control imo

for a little bit more money its ALOT more mouse

[little crater]

ugh, i had a meme, i cant find it

[queen sigil]

me no like hole mouse

[tacit wing]

me neither, it just has a stigma of fortnite meme mouse

i cant shake it off but theyre still good products

[daring zenith]

I still haven't used the MOW wirelessly yet xD

[queen sigil]

thats how i feel about most 60% keyboards

[daring zenith]

cord too good

[queen sigil]

at least 60% gaming keyboards

[kindred cape]

I have a wired model d I have yet to actually use because I'm waiting till you move my desk

I only got like a week ago

[queen sigil]

whenever i see like a ducky one two mini or a gmmk mini, all i have in mind is someone with their keyboard flipped 180 degrees to play fortnite

[timber ridge]

one two with gmk caps

[queen sigil]

stop

[tacit wing]

i do believe that the MOW is better than my Viper Ultimate down to the build, the clicks and the absurd mushiness and pre-travel on my Ultimate is booty cheeks. i still chose the Viper bc no holes

[queen sigil]

literally fortnite keyboard

[timber ridge]

i saw a reddit post for an upcoming gmk kit

some comment said my first gb kit, i jus got into keyboard and bought a one 2

[queen sigil]

gmmk/razer - fortnite mousepad
ducky - fortnite keyboard
Finalmouse - fortnite mouse

final mouse is a brand right

or am i being smooth brain

[tacit wing]

NAWWW GSR-SE is the Fortnite mousepad

when Bugha plopped it on his desk for his mousecam to see all the 12 year olds started wanting it

come to find out Zowie doesnt make it anymore

[queen sigil]

taeha literally said one of the reasons his chat is always in sub only mode is because fortnite kids

[desert bronze]

kids should just go back to playing minecraft smh

[daring zenith]

no u

[small nimbus]

but they cant afford 3090 which is min requirement for minecraft now

[queen sigil]

ok mr11

[timber ridge]

kids should go back to playing outside

[desert bronze]

yea gotta lose the nerdiness

[little crater]

THERE ARE FOUR 1s

[queen sigil]

man im still mad about that one kid who got really pissy because i called him spoiled after he bragged about the 3080 prebuilt his parents bought him to play fortnite

[tacit wing]

mr2

[daring zenith]

o gawd

[queen sigil]

mr111

[tacit wing]

[tacit wing]

Bugha keyboard OP for Fortnite

https://www.fivebelow.com/products/bugha-exclusive-led-gaming-keyboard-for-pc

[timber ridge]

apparently there is a new gamer headset champ

[tacit wing]

i dont think ill be able to beat Aev within a week

[timber ridge]

competitor* not champ

[tacit wing]

1300 elo smurf

[small nimbus]

i dont think i'm 1300

if i played like 50 games i'd probably settle 1200 or 1100

but blitz i'm 800 soooooo

[tacit wing]

it took me a while to beat 1100 bot

[small nimbus]

i get ranked anxiety even against bots

[tacit wing]

but i beat like 4 of them

[small nimbus]

we can play for adoption next time

and if i don't adopt you then that counts as a win for u

usually that's how chess streamers do it when one is way higher rated

[tacit wing]

im not losing to anyone 10x in a row

if i did i would quit chess

[small nimbus]

not even hikaru ?

[tacit wing]

yeah

i would turn into Magnus Carlsen on game 9

[small nimbus]

i would bet my life savings on that

[tacit wing]

Aev how does adoption work

is it 10 games but can there be like any significant amount of time in between games?

[small nimbus]

usually they're in a row so it's blitz

bc if you don't play blitz then the better player will win defensively every time

but if u wanna spread them out that's fine w/ me

as long as you are 400 rated on the first game and not 2600 rated on the last game or smth

we can do something like 1min matches if you want

but bullet is a little too fast imo

[tacit wing]

a week from now, lets play for adoption

speed chess

[small nimbus]

okay winner gets 401k

glhf

also am i allowed to play chess in the meantime

bc i literally haven't played a game in months

[tacit wing]

yea

[tacit wing]

not agreeing to this btw

wait what does adoption even mean

[small nimbus]

"yea" means agreeing though

[tacit wing]

like if u were to adopt me

[small nimbus]

just means i beat you 10-0

[tacit wing]

just sounds like a formal way of saying i got clapped

[small nimbus]

yea

i'm gonna try to spam some games so i have less ranked anxiety

[tacit wing]

youre gonna be like 1700 by the time we play

[small nimbus]

no xD i'll probably be 1100 that is more average

1700 is good enough to compete in local tourneys

plus its only 1 week w/ the learning curve of chess hard to improve much after the fundamentals

[tacit wing]

b4 isnt a blunder according to the analysis

[small nimbus]

well imo it is

[tacit wing]

how

[small nimbus]

bc i just kick your bishop and get tempo to move my queen

because u have to move your bishop to safety so you lose temp

and then i put in my queen in a position to take take and take

i was going to take your pawn and knight and then trade queens, but then u left checkmate open so i just took that

bc that way i'm up material adv

i dont think the computer would say it's a blunder but anything that loses tempo is considered a blunder i think

[tacit wing]

knight to g4 was my first blunder

[small nimbus]

u have to keep in mind i'm bad at chess so

[tacit wing]

and there was so many opp. i couldve took with my bishop i placed on a5 but i didnt spot

im just blind

[small nimbus]

yea that's why i like blitz

it's more of sharp thinking than like, how many dream levels can you go deep

because i seriously just develop my pieces randomly, i make sure they aren't hanging but i don't do anything more complex than that

[tacit wing]

bishop to b4 threatens your knight but i didnt take for GOD KNOW what reason

so its not really a blunder

the blunder is that i didnt take

[small nimbus]

i guess so yea

the blunder is when i kicked you

[tacit wing]

what does that even mean

[small nimbus]

its like when your opponent is threatening a piece

and you move up a pawn to kick it away

because your opponent doesn't wanna suicide the piece

but even if you take my night their it's still find because we have even material almost and i get to develop my bishop AND cover center pawn

[tacit wing]

aev

[small nimbus]

knight*

hallo

[tacit wing]

im completely lost at the middle game

[small nimbus]

well i'm completely lost at early/end game so

it's even

[tacit wing]

lets play a month from now

[small nimbus]

okay i decline my 401k bet then

[tacit wing]

were not doing no damn 401k bet

[small nimbus]

i don twanna practice that long so i'll just practice on the last week

xD ikik im jk

there are some chess streamers that give more constructive commentary though

because i have only played like 15 games online

i just know what i know from watching

[tacit wing]

i watch Hikaru, Botez, Gotham and Agad

sometimes Nemsko

[small nimbus]

if u wanna beat me probably stop watching botez

[tacit wing]

i didnt even hang my queen, so that shows i dont watch her enough

[small nimbus]

agad is like S tier for constructive commentary

[tacit wing]

i find Gotham the most helpful

Agad is too 5 head for me

[small nimbus]

but that's for like high level play usually, ben finegold/gotham is way better for us

i already lost we happy few btw it's one of those games where u can lose at the very beginning if you make the wrong choice

[tacit wing]

i dont like Finegold bc of the mean things he said about Hikaru

[small nimbus]

yea finegold actually is monkaS in terms of character

he had some personal issues w/ his partner that really got out of control because they have like a chess school/foundation together

but i think he is trying to reform

[tacit wing]

good for him

i shall study

gn and gg's

[small nimbus]

okay nini gg

[last plinth]

reform like tyler1

[small nimbus]

no one can reform like t1

that is the most reformed anyone has ever been

[swift lantern]

What he do

[small nimbus]

used to be really toxic

and now he is making an esports team/brand w/ faker

but he's been reformed for a while

he used to stream league with the intent of getting banned as fast as possible

got perma banned which happens like a handful of times in league, he had like 30+ banned accs iirc

[swift lantern]

Why do people torment themselves with league

[small nimbus]

probably need jung to come in and explain that one

[swift lantern]

At least torment yourself with a better game like tf2

[small nimbus]

i would if tf2 had more players

i'm very bad at the game so i just lose a lot

[swift lantern]

Play with me

[small nimbus]
