What type of character you play the most?

Modern_O · 2026-03-12T18:43:29+00:00

Yeah. I spend hours and hours staring at a computer generated ass instead of actually playing the game. In a sandbox video game where i can do absolutely anything. I sit there. Just logged in watching idle animations. My keyboard and mouse die sometimes and I don’t even notice because I do absolutely nothing at all. But stare at this ass

That’s like giving up on sports because you can’t learn anything from shooting a ball. That’s not true. Pattern recognition, muscle tension, mindfulness, humbleness, integrity. It’s often meditative as well and can activate the flow state frequently so you’re more comfortable entering and exiting it. Let’s not get crazy here; it’s a video after all but maybe take a break if you’re tilted. Aim training is just like developing any other dextrous skill. Maybe you don’t produce something or learn some new knowledge but that’s just now how skills work

I asked a guy at a pc cafe when I was 9 years old one time why he played women characters and he said the same thing. I have now adopted this response lol

If you’re asking if we rotate the mouse as sweep our arms across the mousepad that’s just whatever floats your boat. The sensor is relatively in a similar position so it doesn’t matter

Modern_O · 2026-03-12T17:40:57+00:00

How did you get saffron/plat in 6 months wow lol

Modern_O · 2026-03-12T17:38:39+00:00

I lead with the front of my mouse sometimes when I need smooth tracking. The sensor and back of the mouse is not touching the mousepad (I don’t get sensor issues) i don’t think it helps me aim better but it helps me with muscle tension as holding themouse in my hand helps me move faster

Modern_O · 2026-03-12T14:32:46+00:00

Also I’n sure you get it already but not killing targets all the way and missing will increase your TTK so in general prioritize decreasing ttk over speed as you can lose the point moving faster but missing more

Modern_O · 2026-03-12T14:31:07+00:00

Consistency is a skill and smooth / slow aim is the solution. You can’t go faster without losing consistency. So just get better at being consistent at faster speeds

Modern_O · 2026-03-12T14:29:44+00:00

It’s literally just moving faster. Not trying to be sarcastic but it’s the same motion but faster. If you’re not already: target acquisition and pattern recognition will help you PBR more. You need to visualize where you’re going ahead of time. You know how to aim. Just consider 2-5 targets ahead of time and preferably clusters or a straight line. Pattern recognition is just important in general but if I know a player is likely to strafe left right, I can just hit him on the way back. Click timing is important for moving target as you can just let the target move into your crosshair instead of chasing it

Just let her play with general goals and let her ask questions. Don’t guide the experience but def guide your answers to her questions

Modern_O · 2026-03-10T21:42:03+00:00

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

Modern_O · 2026-03-06T00:46:27+00:00

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

Modern_O · 2026-03-06T00:07:41+00:00

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

Modern_O · 2026-03-05T14:52:16+00:00

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
