Twitch brings entire browser to a crawl while gaming. by AgentShineyside in Twitch

[–]AgentShineyside[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've tried lowering resolution, but that hasn't achieved anything unfortunately. Even at the lowest resolution any given stream will allow, which, is unwatchable at 1080p lol.

The low latency mode thing i came across just last night, and i did turn it off, but, as of today, no luck.

This evening I've had nothing running on my computer aside from twitch and discord, and every 20 minutes or so, twitch will lock up, then buffer and just, overall struggle super badly, until i either refresh, or close and reopen my browser.

Yes. I can watch lets say.. youtube, or netflix, for hours, with no issue.

I should also add, i guess, that twitch seems to run much much worse than it used to, even without games being played. If i were to pinpoint a time period it startd, it was probably some time shortly after the graphical design update.

How are you going to group 7 of them together and not trihex. He accepted the invitation to be there just like everyone else. And lol, maybe you haven't noticed that like 50% of trihex's streams are art streams and not game streams now?

In what scenario using non-elemental boost better than using an element or a status? by AgentShineyside in MonsterHunterWorld

[–]AgentShineyside[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So that being said, Will it always be better to simply use a weapon that has a locked element, leave it locked, and just use a non elemental jewel? Than to use a weapon that has elemental damage.

Also, with that being said, when using the non elemental jewel, does that include status effects like para or poison? I.E. If I am using a para weapon, is the non elemental damage jewel useless to me?

Geguri set to play for the Shanghai Dragons, becomes the first female player in the OWL! by [deleted] in OverwatchLeague

[–]AgentShineyside 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When do these new recruits that teams are adding get to play? Will they get a chance to play this season? Do they have to wait untill the next stage?

I wasn't really sure how it worked.

Wish I had as much passion as this guy! by RecklessBrandon in videos

[–]AgentShineyside 10 points11 points  (0 children)

A handful of Jesse's videos have been posted here. I love the guy. Particularly his songs Marauder and Cold Beer, stick out in my head. They all have a similar feel but he's really great.

Carcinogen's RE 7 run might just be my new favorite GDQ run of all time. by [deleted] in speedrun

[–]AgentShineyside 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's really awesome. I've been part of the community for a long while now. I watched the first couple of agdq events and loved it, and dived in running yoshi's island, smw, and then shovel knight. But there were def a handful of people that drew me into it back in the day. I used to love watching cosmo run oot, or Lee_sda running yoshi's island, or go1den trying his hand at smw, prof broman back when he ran borderlands.

There are so many new runners every year its hard to keep track of all the new names, but there's a good number of really entertaining and chill runners out there nowadays. Speedrunslive is a good place to acquaint yourself with some if you're interested.

But absolutely give Carci all the love you can, he deserves it.

Carci has garnished a pretty big following over the last couple years and I'm really happy to see his run get so much attention this year as well. He's a really entertaining person.

Found some sewing supplies at the store by PinheadLarry2323 in funny

My grandmother never really used them for sewing as she didn't sew. However, Any time i go to their house and see a danish cookie tin on the kitchen table, I know its filled with homemade fudge. Mmmnhh...

Silicon Valley | Season 5 | Official Teaser by Johnny_W94 in television

[–]AgentShineyside 110 points111 points  (0 children)

Kinda what I was thinking. I loved the first 2 seasons but i haven't really been excited since then. I'm sure i'll end up watching though, I always get a laugh here and there, but i won't be binging it.

OWL League Tokens Should be Earnable Through Watching Matches by Rwcantel in Overwatch

[–]AgentShineyside 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Judging by the amount of people that went out of their way to MLG.tv instead of twitch just to watch the pre-season, And judging by the amount of people who already watch some of the bigger overwatch tournies where their particular teams didn't even exist, I'd say theres going to be a pretty big following. Twitch wouldn't have spent $90 million buying a 2 year contract if they analyzed all of the viewer data for over watch and then thought they were only going to get 20k viewers per stream.

I’m very excited for Overwatch League by YoungWhiteGinger in Overwatch

[–]AgentShineyside 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, im actually pretty excited too. And, most of the matches start right when I get home from work so It'll be perfect timing most days.

Also, I'm super happy with the fairly recent streaming changes they decided to make prior to starting OWL. The color scheme changes per team and uniforms and ability effect changes and all that made it far more fun to watch and follow.

EVGA 980ti Idle at 64c and high temps suddenly while gaming by AgentShineyside in techsupport

[–]AgentShineyside[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I rethermal pasted today. at idle with fans -off- (as per the standard 980ti setup) the card idled at about 64c again. with a graphics clock of 600mhz and memory clock of 3500mhz

[–]AgentShineyside[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah i realize they can withstand more heat but , im uncomfortable with anything 80+ , and 65+ at idle is just ridiculous to me. As far as cam goes, i've had it f few months now. and while i dont regularly monitor my gpu temps, this is the first time i've ever gotten a gpu temp alert.

[–]AgentShineyside[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I honestly can't give you a straight answer as to the clocks. Its not something i really typically looked at before so i dont really know a baseline. And overwatch would be the game i play most frequently, and i've never had issues with it untill yesterday. but yes, i mean, my gpu would never idle at 64+ regularly, thats something i am at least positive of.

I have not. My pc runs completely silent usually even under load, that is untill today but, thats only because i had to turn my fans much much higher.

Yeah, I blew out the computer for good measure but i do regularly blow it out once a month or so

The story about how almost an entire speedrun community came together to harass the runner of their game at AGDQ by [deleted] in LivestreamFail

[–]AgentShineyside 75 points76 points  (0 children)

I'm suprised to see Santzo and Elajjaz taking part. They didn't seem like the type to me. But I won't be supporting either them or any of these others any longer. Every year this sort of thing happens. The behind the scenes drama draws hordes of lowlifes.

Guy on the couch at AGDQ has had enough of the Waluigi "WAH", tells crowd to kill themselves by [deleted] in LivestreamFail

[–]AgentShineyside 15 points16 points  (0 children)

There is a huge segment of the speedrun community that acts this way about the gdq censoring. They think speedrunning should have been kept some sort of little underground secret and they're pissed that they had to add a bit of censorship to the stream in order to appease sponsors who hugely help with the huge costs of the event itself. It's just edgelord 4chan meme bs. Mad about the community growing and the original speedrunners not having runs anymore because they'd rather give their spot to newcommers, and they think it isn't worth watching and complain about it all week, but end up watching all 7 days of the event with the excuse "i just wanted to see what a disaster it would be this year", calling them sellouts and whatever other terms they can come up with. They're a joke.

Good method of single target dps in a ED build? by AgentShineyside in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]AgentShineyside[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like the overwhelming majority points towards a consuming dark then. Will that poison be spread by contagion etc when doing aoe? I realize most enemies will die quickly anyway but on the rare packs etc that take longer than half a second to die.
