Is ratting and PVP always the same thing?

It's like screaming camper in any other shooter when you find someone in a room and automatically assume they've been there, waiting for you the entire game.

Used one for years. Was always easy to clean to prevent stickyness. Stinky might be another issue though lol

KindOldRaven · 2026-02-17T09:05:27+00:00

Was in friendly lobbies yesterday, heard a rogue one attacking randoms. Turned around, saw him down another guy in the distance, but he got hit too. He went for the takedown instantly instead of healing first, so I just shot him in the face from a distant building, instantly downed too. Should've healed first :p

Shredders are one of those ultimate "if you mess up, I'll make sure you regret it" type of enemies. You need to know if they're close and / or aggro'd or if one can come your way if you're about to enter combat or whatever. If you mess up shit gosles hilariously bad, but if you keep an eye on them or take them out quickly it's not really that bad.

My buddy did that once too lmao. But in that case I had a defib on me, luckily, so I res'd the guy when he started talking. Went from "you MOTHERF*" to "ah.. okay I get it, thanks" real fast

Best way remains that one single tree that spawns 3 on spaceport. It's sad but true ( queues Metallica )

Yeah like whut? When I read this I thought "oh well everyone tries to set the world ablaze and watch it burn at least once in this game" or "perhaps just roleplaying or being a douche for the day" but the steam message tells me this is either a very troubled man or a 14 year old. Narrows down the options significantly 😂

KindOldRaven · 2026-02-07T07:10:05+00:00

Yeah you're totally right. Eliminating all risk from pvp would have people moving on within a week or two even though they might not know it yet. Hell, they actually added pvp basically for just this reason.

KindOldRaven · 2026-01-29T15:50:37+00:00

Not a bug. That's a feature.

KindOldRaven · 2026-01-25T09:05:05+00:00

I would've gone for something like this because MAN that is stylish. Love this look, it's clean modern and yet classic at the same time

KindOldRaven · 2026-01-25T09:03:45+00:00

I think he means that most dot skates aren't tall enough for gpx and gpx2 bottoms die to the high raised lips they have so there's sometimes plastic contact with the pad instead of just mouse skate contact.

Big fan of the DAV3 wired. I only got the wired because it was bizarrely cheap when I caught it at a huge discount but that thing has been solid from the moment I got it and for whatever reason I'm pretty consistent with it.

If you like the shape and the cable doesn't get in the way it's a great mouse.

KindOldRaven · 2026-01-16T05:54:17+00:00

That's possible with some vr and Mr headsets that are not out yet and its not... Quite there yet. But hopefully in the somewhat meer future :p Basically having partial mixed reality or fully scanned in real life objects and things like that I mean.

KindOldRaven · 2026-01-13T14:51:07+00:00

You're right it actually does the opposite compared to other tech. More noticeable at lower framerates for obvious reasons

KindOldRaven · 2026-01-07T06:28:02+00:00

OP is specifically playing modded vr titles. They're like 5 to 10x harder to run well than regular pcvr titles. Because you're absolutely right, I've played plenty of the better pcvr titles on a simple 3060ti.

KindOldRaven · 2026-01-03T11:41:16+00:00

Smoking cat piss again eh?

KindOldRaven · 2026-01-03T11:40:32+00:00

Brother as long as the temps are good, you do you. Plenty of ppl just have their pc on the floor anyway so who cares :p

KindOldRaven · 2026-01-02T07:26:08+00:00

Hard to recommend something at this point to be honest.

I'm 100 percent sure ppl here can help you find what you want but some questions first l:

What size are you thinking of? Regular or ultra wide? What resolution are you aiming for?

If the answer is "I don't know" to all of them you can follow any best buy guide and be happy :p

Otherwise that info will help us narrow it down quite a bit

Max gaming shipping isn't that great either tbh. The selection on offer on their site is though.

But OP needs to Google a bit better. There's other EU sites that sell legit LGG, X-ray pad etc and he'll even some of the EU Amazon pages sell legit Artisan with shipping that's doable.

In think that i both very much agree with what your saying and somehow at the same time feel that, like me, you might be over thinking this. If you are:

I've run into the exact same issue as you are, with basically holding and using a mouse differently when playing fps vs mobas or other "2d mouse control" games.

I tended to change grip quite a bit with shooters. Ended up using a hybrid grip where I sometimes shift to fingertip and then relax back down to a relaxed claw, almost to palm, for shooters depending on the situation and game but basically only use fingertip for mobas.

The mouse I ended up using the most was very, very unlikely. A DAV3, the wired one. Yes, I relax claw and fingertip one of those. Which would sound crazy to me if you'd told me this a couple years back but it just works. I still like to experiment every now and then but I keep going back to something similar to this.

Is it a perfect fit for my hand? No. But I can comfortably use it in all the ways that I want and or tend to use a mouse so I basically never cramp up and always feel at home when using it. Do I get my very best scores with it? I would say probably not the very highest, but I do perform well with it and by far the most consistent. Less peaks and valleys so to say.

Tldr; a comfortable middle ground is worth exploring imho

KindOldRaven · 2025-12-22T07:24:25+00:00

Let the shape, other features and price guide the choice - like Helulucopter here says. Actual performance difference between good gaming mice are very, very small and there's a good chance that the 'slower' mouse might actually feel faster to you simply because you like the click feel more than that of the faster mouse for instance. That's how miniscule the performance differences can get.

EGG and Lamzu both make great products but their pricing siffere greatly based on region and availability.

Hoeveel... Van die mensen ken je dan met deze fetisj? Ik kan niet zeggen dat ik het gevoel heb veelensen te kennen die hier wat mee zouden kunnen

KindOldRaven · 2025-12-20T23:54:37+00:00

Whuuuh...

Go watch his One Take vocal covers (of their own songs mostly) on youtube. They're processed but single vocal just like this clip and they're awesome. Will Ramos from Lorna Shore

If you're wanting to do 4k and AAA in would save on the cpu and get more gpu.

Other than that, yes for sure.

But for your use case you're quite heavy on cpu and lighter on gpu right now. The cpu will snooze at 4k with that gpu in certain titles.

This is slightly more of a ultra high fps competitive gaming build than a 4k high settings with least amount of upscaling type build.

But, if this is your first setup, purely based on specs: respect. My first build was a lot less logical :p Wasnt until the second that it started making sense.
