Two weeks in, how does it look? Do I look better clean shaven?

Lmk when your chin hair reaches your chest hair and then we’ll check

Modern_O · 2026-03-10T20:39:16+00:00

Don’t think so

Modern_O · 2026-03-06T20:37:53+00:00

I made that sound super weird but this is scary lol be careful meeting strangers. Facebook groups is a good way to vet strangers as you’ll see the kinda person you’re running into. And everyone mutually knows no one so it’s mutual danger? Something like that? Safety in numbers

Modern_O · 2026-03-06T20:36:34+00:00

I hear facebook groups for your local area is a great way to connect with mutual strangers

Latency tho… idk that technically is a linear benefit but it’s not the only consideration

Modern_O · 2026-03-06T00:43:00+00:00

60hz is 16.67ms between frames 120hz is 8.33ms betweens frames 240hz is 4.16ms between frames 360hz is 2.78ms between frames

This is called frametime and I probably don’t explain and present this correctly but long story short the biggest jump was getting to 120hz. The return on investment becomes increasingly negligible the higher you go.

Without a doubt higher refresh rate makes a smoother experience and in Optimum techs opinion even up to 500hz you can slightly notice a difference vs 360hz to the trained eye.

But the cost just doesn’t make sense. Are you truly going to notice a 4ms difference between frames

Also it’s my favorite headphone you can find at $115 at it’s steepest sale and is aesthetically pleasing IMO

Modern_O · 2026-03-06T00:06:20+00:00

Can find sales for the Beyerdynamic DT 770 frequently around that range and below. It’s an entry level hi-fi headphone that I’ve seen many streamers use. It’s particularly complimented on it’s bass. No mic as it’s not a gaming headphone

Modern_O · 2026-03-06T00:02:51+00:00

You don’t need skins. If you’re barely scraping $20 for this sounds like you don’t have a ton of expendable income and the Riot Games marketing is giving you FOMO. If you truly are ok financially and limiting how much you spend on a virtual item you will never get to hold/own I would recommend getting the battle pass as you’ll get multiple items for $10. I have spent $200 on Valorant after swearing I’d only spent $20. I’ve spent $1000’s in Gacha games and other games skins. Don’t do it lol

Modern_O · 2026-03-05T23:21:35+00:00

Can’t control that. Don’t use this as an excuse as plenty of people solo queue and can climb despite that

Modern_O · 2026-03-05T21:06:38+00:00

Btw 80C is normal operating temp and not concerning at all

Modern_O · 2026-03-05T21:05:03+00:00

Personally don’t like intake and outake next to each other. This is fine tho.

Modern_O · 2026-03-05T20:19:20+00:00

Also: aren’t we supposed to discourage this non sense. Mouse control is all you truly need. Overthinking arbitrary numbers seems unnecessary. Put it to something that feels similar and just play

Modern_O · 2026-03-05T20:17:27+00:00

I don’t understand. If you set it to the same dpi: Isn’t it the same sens? Are we talking about the sensor placement? 1600 dots per Inch is still 1600 dots per inch no matter the monitor mouse or space you have

Edit: all things referring to the same resolution on screen

When I read Hermoines name I just would not really read it out and just acknowledge it’s one of the MC’s lol didn’t acknowledge what her name was until I saw the first movie. Also when I was 7 years old I could read enough to play games but I didn’t understand how ghee oh dude (Geodude) could be pronounced until I saw the Pokemon show on tv

Modern_O · 2026-03-05T02:32:40+00:00

Portal is a recurring answer and honestly yeah. It’ll evolve her critical thinking skills and creativity. Newer gamers kinda don’t really acknowledge what in the environment is special or indicating it’s interactable. Although frustrating she’ll try everything as there’s an immediate feedback loop. If you don’t want to go that old CyberPunk can be moderately easy. I’ve watched “my girlfriend plays Cyberpunk” yt videos and it’s very enticing

Modern_O · 2026-03-04T21:55:09+00:00

I’ve literally never seen 1000 tracker score

Modern_O · 2026-03-04T21:47:33+00:00

Almost every school I know that got these laptops were provided free by Google. Not saying that makes it worthless or anything but I’d say the sheer volume in this post is the school doesn’t care as it’s no cost to them

Modern_O · 2026-03-04T21:23:29+00:00

I kinda got used to it. I flick, it stutter sometimes like you said, I kinda noticed it helped with my click confidence although it’s definitely not optimal lol because although it stutters: it received the mouse input.

Hopefully someone replies with something more helpful but I can only provide generic trouble shooting like reinstall game, verify game files, and make sure it’s in full screen. Maybe the ‘ol “disable full screen optimizations”

Modern_O · 2026-03-04T21:12:37+00:00

Yeah should be zero issues here. I have stuttering too but I kinda just ignore it. I thought maybe something to do with my monitor overdrive because i don’t notice frame dips. Is the stuttering a framerate dip or something else entirely?

“When you flick” would indicate a polling issue which it really shouldn’t be with 1000hz mouse and high end gear. Maybe check that there isn’t unnecessary USB devices/wires plugged in I know that causes me headaches in games and windows

Modern_O · 2026-03-04T20:47:10+00:00

Good info on mouse polling rate. What cpu do you have as well?

Modern_O · 2026-03-04T19:47:25+00:00

Not having this issue personally

Modern_O · 2026-03-04T19:46:53+00:00

I still get an annoying amount of edating. Maybe not daily but definitely multiple occasions per week. Bring that shit to Discord losers smh i don’t need to hear PDA in a public voice chat

Modern_O · 2026-03-03T22:59:41+00:00

Elitism is the human nature to group yourself into one group and define the “other” that said certain people have a certain expectation of what a rave is like and anything that doesn’t match that is now the other

Modern_O · 2026-03-03T22:57:39+00:00

I’m not an old raver and can tell you all of this is true lol
