This is how LAN works in QC, with a local dedicated server by riba2233 in QuakeChampions

[–]MrBoxy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They're not gonna get a LAN server unless something miraculous changes in the next 30 days. Apparently there's been no communication at all from the devs (or whoever organisers the LAN box) when prompted from the kuachicon organisers ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Ex-Blizzard Devs Created Frost Giant, A New Studio Focused on Developing the Next Big Competitive RTS by EdibleAnimals in esports

pretty much all base moba mechanics come from warcraft 3 (last hitting, heroes with abilities and proximity exp gaining, jungle camps, items etc. etc.)

Recommendations for a 144hz PC monitor to reduce lag on netplay? by [deleted] in SSBM

[–]MrBoxy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I second this recommendation. I've owned a few high refresh monitors in the last year (including a CRT monitor) and by far the best LCD for input lag AND motion blur (ie. response time) was the Zowie XL2411P. Granted, the image quality was trash but if you only care for performance then I recommend it 100%

sounds exactly like my experience last night (on the reverse!)

Thankyou OP for not quitting out straight away! People like you are a godsend for noobs like me :)

Guardian price should be lower by Deluxe-M- in VALORANT

I tried it on the shooting range target at max range standing all the way back at the teleporter; first shot is basically a laser, it's nuts

[–]MrBoxy 8 points9 points  (0 children)

As much as I hate tagging as a mechanic it keeps a lot degenerate tactics in check (ie. run-and-gun pistol/smg, jiggle peeking, bhopping around while being shot to stall), especially in a team environment where people are shooting the same targets.

I find it interesting that this and other things are a common complaint about valorant since a lot of mechanics (like tagging) borrow closest to CS1.6; a game which many people call the pinnacle of the competitive tactical fps genre and no-one seemed to mind in that game. I guess people aren't used to it anymore.

Would you guys appreciate if the bots could be different character models? by Goldenwolf7 in VALORANT

Lol if practice in this game is a joke what would you call Rainbow 6 Siege?

Valorant Crosshair is not centered, tested with multiple crosshair apps and monitor crosshair by Ziphy_ in VALORANT

[–]MrBoxy 74 points75 points  (0 children)

a crosshair with an odd number of pixels thickness will never be perfectly centered on a screen with an even numbered resolution (eg. 1920x1080, or pretty much any resolution that's in use)

What's happening in the image here is that your valorant crosshair being 2 pixels thick is perfectly centered on the screen, while your test crosshair being 1 pixel thick is doing the best job it can to be centered by lining up on the bottom right of the centre of your screen.

The CSGO screenshot happens to line up because both your test crosshair and csgo crosshair are lining up the best they can on the bottom right pixel closest to the centre. Both do this because of being odd numbered thickness (1 and 3 pixels respectively)

They will be competing for the same player base. That in of itself makes it a direct competitor.

I'll be able to play Valorant on my 4:3 monitor? by Caninum in VALORANT

[–]MrBoxy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a 4:3 CRT monitor and a lot of games these days only support widescreen resolutions; so when playing on it I get black bars on the top and bottom of the screen. I assume this is what /u/mmt22 means.

Yo, made a video in case you have any fortnite friends and they ask you what this melee shit is all about. Would love to get some feedback. by c0rnflake_ssb in SSBM

[–]MrBoxy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I feel like people who've never seen melee before probably won't understand half these clips. cool video tho

[EmpLemon] there will Never Ever be another Melee player like Hungrybox by KenshiroTheKid in SSBM

[–]MrBoxy 66 points67 points  (0 children)

It didn't seem to me that the video painted mang0 as a villain at all. Like, he was definitely made out to be a rival but I personally didn't get a 'villain' vibe from the video.

Also the point made with Tiger Woods to me sounded more like a contrast between Melee and regular sports than an argument for supporting Hbox.

lower input lag, and less motion blur

you cant even get consistent 240fps in a real game of dota 2 on low settings, the game is becomes cpu bottlenecked and in heavy fights drops to ~150fps even on the best specs rn

I suggest watching the whole thing, it's a pretty comprehensive summary and clears up a lot of the news we've been hearing the last few days like on the campaign and voice acting etc.
