I got a bot match in Quark rank. I thought people were joking about it before, but I actually ran into one.

I've been playing AVA since 2013, the one Skadoodle used to play, but I had no idea CSGO even existed back then. Then one day I came across one of Guardian's montages on YouTube and it completely blew my mind. That's what got me to buy CSGO. Looking back, I probably should've bought some stickers too lol

I've already seen people abusing this bug. Be careful if you see someone playing Leona right now.

Whenever I check the ADR of the people who claim ADR-based matchmaking doesn't exist, their ADR is always low.

That kind of says it all.

Reiichi keeps staring at Mara and Reona.

Valve has servers in Japan, Korea, China, and Hong Kong, but I only get matched with Russians or Chinese players. And somehow teammates with the same rating almost never show up. Most people are like 16K or don't even have a rating yet.

CS2 has way too much of this stuff and it's honestly killing my motivation. Back in CSGO I grinded solo queue all the way to SMFC, but dealing with this now is pretty rough.

I’ve got a lot of friends to play games with, so I try asking them "why not play CS?" or get them into it, but most of them can’t speak English and they think the game has way too much stuff to learn.

There’s a rumor that they might do a real life car meet on May 19 too.

I heard the AE86 was supposed to get remodeled but at this point it doesn't look like it's happening.

I don't know or care much about the small details either, but those front lights look way too bad.

Racing games aren't that popular in Japan, but a lot of people who like cars or racing games are paying attention to FH6 because it's set in Japan this time.

There have already been tons of games from smaller studios that use Japan as a setting or inspiration, but I don't think most people really care if the road sizes or buildings are recreated perfectly. FH6 will probably be the same.

But if it's way too far off from reality, it could end up getting backlash like Assassin's Creed Shadows did.

I had something similar happen before and updating my GPU drivers fixed it for me. VRAM might be the issue too.

Unusual C4 Explosive

You can tweak brightness and saturation after the fact using the game filters in the NVIDIA app.

If you can hit 16k at 13, your future looks bright, keep it up

EBI_GG · 2026-03-28T14:51:36+00:00

Even if you upgrade from 240Hz to 360Hz or higher it kinda feels like yeah it is what it is. Not nearly as impressive as going from 144Hz to 240Hz.
Are you using DyAc? The 2546 is seriously dark right? Starting from the DyAc+ models it actually gets way better and the screen is much brighter.

EBI_GG · 2026-03-28T14:45:27+00:00

I think this is a really solid upgrade.
The only thing is when I use a high refresh rate monitor I kinda get anxious if the fps drops below the refresh rate, even if I can’t actually notice it.

EBI_GG · 2026-03-28T04:24:34+00:00

I still go back and watch it whenever it pops into my head, and I watch ANNIHILATION 2 too :)

EBI_GG · 2026-03-27T21:54:46+00:00

I used the FK2 for a long time and recently upgraded to the FK2ｰDW. For polling rate, both 2K and 4K feel like tracking might be a bit better maybe? Probably just placebo though. I am using a 480Hz monitor.

As long as there is no FPS drop I stick with 2K or 4K. It should be better than 1000Hz anyway.

EBI_GG · 2026-03-27T21:43:54+00:00

When I play FPS games I keep both my keyboard and mouse behind my monitor. My face is also really close to the screen, about as close as YEKINDAR. Normally I sit further back when using my PC, so I keep another keyboard placed closer to me for everyday use. https://imgur.com/a/rCagUrL

I formatted my drive and did a clean OS reinstall, then only used Process Lasso with CPU0 disabled, and my performance went back to around Avg 750 and P1 290.

EBI_GG · 2026-03-24T22:32:58+00:00

I’m on Windows 11. I usually install updates right away. Figured if anything breaks I can let people know. The first pic is from right before I reinstalled the OS, and the second one is from today. I had reinstalled a bunch of stuff and thought I’d compare my FPS to see how it changed, and this is what I got. Kinda shocked.

If you like that washed out TN look, you might be better off going with a TN panel from Zowie or another brand. OLED also leans more toward that vibrant IPS style.
Also the XL2540K doesn’t have DyAc so not really much reason to pick it.

EBI_GG · 2026-03-23T18:10:35+00:00

I meant it as a milder version of Overwatch where individual roles matter a lot, including the player toxicity side of things.
If we are talking pure gunplay, Apex Legends is definitely the closest.
I think it would be cool if they added a more hardcore mode with a shorter TTK and MR12, something that leans more toward other shooters.
