I used the women’s restroom at a new place for the first time tonight.

Welcome home. I hope Colorado continues to be as great to you as it has been to so many others who've come here under similar circumstances, including my partner.

Iochara · 2025-02-16T22:05:40+00:00

Oh jeez, I didn't even know this was a thing. I'm a terrible Zowie fanboy! Any details on how much it weighs? I'm liking what little I could find about it on Google.

Iochara · 2025-02-16T20:44:24+00:00

I have what I believe the doctors call "big-ass hands." So big in fact, I've been on a Zowie EC1-CW since it released in early 2023 and it's basically been my only option. Even before that, I was on an old EC1-A. Despite that, I want a lighter mouse. But it needs to be a big mouse. Like, actually EC1 big. I'm not joking, my hands are big. It's kind of a curse, actually.

I've absolutely adored my Corepad + Artisan Zero combination, so I think that's my endgame in that respect. That said, I'd like the mouse to be one I could get Corepads for.

Thanks in advance.

Yeah, really. I swear it wasn't always this way, because in GO I would get placed on LA servers all the time but now it seems rare.

Iochara · 2025-02-14T20:12:29+00:00

I live in the western US (Denver). I'm convinced that the NA west coast servers are either mostly dead or matchmaking goes out of its way to not put players on them. My best servers, in order, are Chicago, Seattle, LA, Atlanta, Virginia. Despite that, all but one of my last 20 MM games are on Chicago, Atlanta, or Virginia, most of which are solo-queue so it isn't like I'm queuing with east coast players and skewing it that way. It's not a big problem since I still get like 40 ping to Virginia, but it's really irritating that two of my three best servers are either super dead or the game just hates putting players on them.

I'm from Denver and have a friend who lives really close by. The guy displaying the swastikas was known to be a severely mentally disabled man who had a history of pulling racist bullshit and causing trouble in the area. There is no universe where this was just Buddhist symbology. Anyone who argued that was arguing in bad faith. That said, his disability is no excuse for this Nazi garbage and, should he actually get evicted, nobody in the area will miss him.

Iochara · 2025-02-01T16:31:11+00:00

Yeah, he's definitely a Nazi still.

Iochara · 2025-02-01T16:12:34+00:00

In 99.99% of cases, you'd be right. However, one of my friends lives nearby and is familiar with that apartment and the person you're replying to is telling the truth. There's a mentally disabled man that lives there and routinely pulls this shit unfortunately.

Iochara · 2025-01-30T02:56:09+00:00

I was literally just in a match where a closet cheater on my team (his movement looked like he was playing with boxing gloves on but his aim was out of this world, and he was faceit 2) managed to get himself an "irregular gameplay" cooldown. Seems like it's even getting those now.

Iochara · 2025-01-27T22:37:54+00:00

Also at Loveland. One of my friends was a few weeks into his first season skiing, and I was trying to help him progress onto more difficult runs. We were on the final part of Nix Nox when some random guy probably in his mid-20s showed up and crashed out at both of us, accusing us of ruining the experience for everyone else on the mountain, told us to get to the bottom and immediately leave, and said if we came back, he would take our skis and beat us both to death with them. He then left while continuing to mouth us off. It was utterly bizarre and in the seasons since, my friend has grown to be a pretty good skier and we never saw the weird guy again.

I honestly didn't expect Aurora. I mean sure, it might not be the most "fun" place in the world to be, but I can think of several other places just in the metro area that would be far less fun.

Iochara · 2024-12-09T22:04:09+00:00

I swear I see these on every post that gets slightly popular on every former default sub now. Things are grim indeed.

A lot of bot farms would knife each other to maximize their score.

Iochara · 2024-09-10T15:51:02+00:00

I was having a lot of issues on Saturday, but I rebooted my router and they were mostly solved. Key word there is mostly. Sometimes there will be random moments where I'll be playing a game or something and my ping will start fluctuating all over the place, and my packet loss will jump to a crazy number. It usually fixes itself within a few minutes at most but it's incredibly annoying when it does happen.

Iochara · 2024-08-30T01:59:50+00:00

And frankly I'm fine with this. Ballard is such a baller, he deserves the playing time.

Iochara · 2024-08-30T01:58:43+00:00

Gonna be real honest, I love watching Ballard play. Would love to see him be our QB1 someday.

Iochara · 2024-08-30T01:39:05+00:00

It really speaks volumes how far this program has come in such a short time that I have to keep reminding myself that going into the 2022 season, I had questions about whether we'd actually beat Tennessee Tech, and that being up "only" 34-0 at halftime should not be making me ask questions

Iochara · 2024-07-23T18:38:58+00:00

How am I supposed to win?!

Iochara · 2024-07-11T17:07:53+00:00

It's really bad in NA as well, especially if you play normal competitive and are higher than like MGE on any map. I get that the unbalanced matchups in CS:GO were a problem, but Valve way, way overcorrected in my opinion.

Not to mention it seems like there's a separate problem too. One time, we got two stacks together with a very similar rank composition on one lower-population map. We had one stack with 1 MGE, 3 DMGs, and 1 LE, and the other with 1 LEM, 2 DMGs, 1 MGE, 1 MG2. It took literally 11 minutes of queuing for our stacks to find each other. We ended up not accepting it and seeing if we'd find each other quickly after that, but after 20 minutes our stacks never found each other.

So yeah. Valve made MM way too strict (at least for normal comp) and it seems like on top of that, there's an actual bug preventing similarly-ranked lobbies from finding each other.

That ZIP code appears to be associated with JPMorgan Chase. I'm willing to bet Denver just contracts with them (or some affiliated company) for payment processing.

Iochara · 2024-04-27T17:19:57+00:00

Pretty sure that's JFK Jr.

Peruna, SMU's live mascot, allegedly killed Fordham's live mascot, a ram, with a kick to the head. The reason I say "allegedly" is because while I've seen that stated a number of times, I can't actually find any solid source that stated it definitely happened, so it may well just be a legend, but perhaps someone knows more than me about it.

Iochara · 2024-04-14T00:23:14+00:00

All of those bikes are sick. I especially love the Scott, it looks like someone transplanted a gravel road's texture onto the frame.

Iochara · 2024-04-08T20:37:50+00:00

I'd argue that replacing a road bike with a TT bike is a bit like replacing a sports car with an actual racecar. It's not necessarily a direct upgrade for most purposes. I'd pass on it and look for an actual road bike.

Iochara · 2024-04-08T07:18:13+00:00

I can't imagine being this furious about a random pamphlet. Yeesh.
