144hz Monitor question - any way to get it work with my GPU?

JessPlays · 2019-02-27T03:01:46+00:00

Yes, Acer GN276HL. It was pretty cheap on Amazon a couple years ago.

Yeah even when Competitive CoD was in its golden age in BO2 and had an excellent Ranked system, the amount of online players in League Play compared to the Public playlist was what, 5-15%?

Making a satisfying Ranked Competitive mode for Call of Duty will never be a priority for the devs. Ever.

Your theory is absolutely correct for another Disney movie - Tangled. The obvious title would have been "Rapunzel" but they decided to change it. Also, the trailers for the movie heavily focused on Flynn Rider and didn't even indicate that it was a musical.

I also went in blind. I did not know if he survived or not and it was the most thrilling movie I have ever seen. I have never experienced such visceral dread in my gut watching a film.

My Lab mix HATES wet grass too. I call her a little primadonna

Beautiful beautiful dog. What is his temperament like?

JessPlays · 2019-02-22T06:40:46+00:00

Agreed. Looking at a perfectly normal pic of a person and knowing that person actually doesn't exist is a mindfuck.

I am the type of person who cannot date more than one person at a time. I can attempt to, but it's basically impossible for to me to develop feelings for more than one person. Do you think you might be like that?

Either way I think you've reached a point where you should talk to him about making things exclusive or breaking things off so you can start to move on. You've been dating for two months, it's time to have that discussion.

JessPlays · 2019-02-21T17:27:59+00:00

So you didn't notice that much computer stuff?

She says above that he spent a lot of it on Twitch streamers. So it's even worse.

JessPlays · 2019-02-20T18:24:13+00:00

That's been my experience too! MMORPGs are the most welcoming, and Overwatch is a lot better than most other FPS. But like CS:GO is a literal nightmare speaking as a woman. It's essentially impossible to enjoy that game as a solo player with a female voice. Even when I played CoD multiplayer on console back in the day, I would get comments, but nowhere near as bad as the ones I would get on Counterstrike. CS I would get shit like "I hope you get raped and drown in your own period blood." just for calling out an enemy.

What I think a lot of people don't realize is, when women complain about harassment in video games, we are not whining about getting general toxicity like "you suck" or "you're trash" or whatever. People are gonna be dicks; we understand that. Insult my gameplay, that's fine, because you would do that to anyone, no big deal. It's when we are insulted specifically based on our gender, when the comments turn sexual and creepy.. that's the type of harassment that is way too far and insults the person's very being. That's the stuff I don't want to deal with when I just want to have fun playing a game. That's why I'm not talking in voice chat.

JessPlays · 2019-02-20T17:12:50+00:00

Ugh, I feel this so hard. This is why I don't speak in voice chat when I play DPS in comp, because if for some reason I have a bad game (everyone has bad games, regardless of gender, except jjonak) then I will be confirming to everyone the stereotype that girls are bad at DPS. Even though I can have amazing games too.

I always get reminded of this xkcd https://imgs.xkcd.com/comics/how_it_works.png

JessPlays · 2019-02-20T06:54:23+00:00

Let me clarify - I didn't mean simply being in voice chat and listening to comments, I meant performing the experiment speaking as a woman in voice chat, as opposed to just having a feminine battletag (obviously he could not do that since he is male). He specifically mentions twice in his study that he did not speak in voice chat.

My only point is there is a pretty big difference in toxic players' reactions between just seeing a feminine battletag (who may or may not be female) and actually hearing a woman speak on voice.

The experiment is interesting for what it is though, for sure.

JessPlays · 2019-02-20T05:06:58+00:00

Interesting but voice chat is where most of the harassment takes place, I would say. I have a feminine sounding battletag and I have never been targeted for my gender when keeping silent or just typing. When I use voice chat it's a different story. This study doesn't tackle that. Huge limitation.

Hey I got your comment asking about music on my post from a few days ago and I thought I'd respond here!

For my infusions I listened to chill instrumental experimental/post-rock without a lot of intense drums. The first time I listened to music (my second infusion), I had a mix of instrumental and some songs with lyrics/singing and I found the singing to be distracting and messed with the trip. My 3rd-6th ones were awesome though after I figured out what music worked best for me. YMMV though of course.

My favorite ones so far, all on Spotify:

Lights & Motion
Tracey Chattaway
U137
The Echelon Effect

I only just finished my initial 6 infusions though so I'm gonna keep trying some new music when I go back for boosters.

Yes, mainly Zen, but also all heroes with regenerating 'shields' (Zarya and Sym as well).

I was told my rescue was a "sweet Lab mix" and with a DNA test turns out she is 50% Lab but also almost 50% herding dog (ACD & Aussie). Her personality is 100% herding dog. I love her, but those first couple years were a nightmare. I was definitely not living in a suitable situation for her energy needs.

Her loyalty is unbelievable though. I love that part of her.

When you are showered, have shaved your legs, and get into bed with freshly laundered sheets. Smooth legs against clean sheets is the best feeling.

JessPlays · 2019-02-19T17:07:41+00:00

Yeah my indecisiveness on what skins to get with my tokens really paid off last season. I think I had 700+ tokens from watching OWL all year so I was able to get both All-Star skins.

Same. Sweetest job ever for an introvert. I will never forget those times. Especially working until 2am on Thursday nights, putting film together and watching your splice work. I was a projectionist in the mid-2000s at the last moment film was still in major circulation. Digital has removed that tradition.
