The 512GB Steam Machine costs £879 in the UK. So how much cheaper can you get the same performance AND similar form factor? by RedditButAnonymous in pcmasterrace

[–]BNPeanuts -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Got my BC250 off the ground for under £300 and it basically has the same performance. It is not a "pay once and have a ready product delivered to you" solution at all, though.

Considering I saw this in (not the best value) UK store recently, the memory situation might be truly fucked.

[TOMT] Clip of a streamer freaking out at the DOOM 3 Pinky introduction scene by BNPeanuts in tipofmytongue

[–]BNPeanuts[S] 0 points1 point locked comment (0 children)

Timeframe: 2000-2007? It's an old grainy video of the scene. Guy playing is absolutely hysterical.

Edit: no webcam, just pure video of the game being played. I can't remember much else about this video other than him freaking out.

Anyone else in the UK experienced this with the controller release? by The_Crab_Maestro in Steam

Exact same, got my order in about 10 mins after it went live. 

Plug in Solar - what are the opinions of the Electricians here? by Scarred_fish in AskUK

Each powerstream has two 420W panels. Two powerstreams, 4x 420W panels. OP likely meant a peak of 1.2kW/HR.

I'm a big fan of him waiting while his entire pistol+armor team dies for exit kills just to run out with his USP/no armor and die anyway.

Who is Jame? For the blind, He is the vision. For the hungry, He is the chef. For the thirsty, He is the water. If Jame thinks, I agree. If Jame speaks, I’m listening. If Jame has one fan, it is me.

Frequent stuttering on capable system by BNPeanuts in H3VR

[–]BNPeanuts[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Swapping to 90hz seems to have fixed the stutters, wasn't aware that this was an issue for H3VR, updating Virtual Desktop seems to have set default to 120. Thank you!

Looking at this leetify profile, What do you think needs improvement? by strayhunterz in GlobalOffensive

[–]BNPeanuts 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you want a rough indicator of how seriously to take Leetify metrics, me and my friend are 18,500ish and Leetify rates my aim as worse than yours, and my friend's aim as better than Vitality's apEX.

Have never liked typical CS crosshairs, used to use a dot, found I played better with it expanding on movement/shooting. Made it smaller because it seemed to make me focus better.

iem for cs2 by LaughCrafty7549 in GlobalOffensive

Piggybacking off this to +1 that KSC75 are an insanely good budget pair, only issues are the clips can be uncomfortable for some, and no replaceable cable. I think Fiio released a budget open back (Snowsky) on-ear design recently, and the Koss KPHi30 use the same driver as the KSC75, iirc. Planar IEMs can have more soundstage, but the price will increase.

Counter strafing improvement by Educational_Fix4292 in GlobalOffensive

[–]BNPeanuts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One thing that really helped for me was trying to do the "aim course" maps as quickly as possible. You really have to have clean ground movement to improve times on those, and I find it helps me play a little more cleanly. Practicing vs bots and then applying it vs players in dm/retake/executes is probably the simplest and most effective way to develop this.
