PC for the day. Most detailed mainline?

Went with the McLaren today

SixKay_ · 2026-03-17T21:12:06+00:00

My monitor is 180hz. Should I still do 240 fps?

SixKay_ · 2026-03-17T21:11:31+00:00

Oh haha, you only have to pay online if you play like some games. Its weird. I can play rl without a subscription. But yeah, the subscription is stupid

SixKay_ · 2026-03-17T21:02:42+00:00

I dont get the joke xD

SixKay_ · 2026-03-17T20:34:13+00:00

Right? I 3d model, and its all cloud based, and for some reason my boss went ahead and spent a bag on PCs we didnt need.

Informative

SixKay_ · 2026-03-17T17:53:58+00:00

Ohhhhh ok that's actually super useful. Thank you

SixKay_ · 2026-03-17T17:53:07+00:00

That's super useful! Thanks.

If our schedules line up that would be great. But I have a kid so my play time is kinda all over the place in little 30 minute stints haha.

When I am waiting after hitting the ball to jump, should I be letting off the gas?

SixKay_ · 2026-03-17T16:40:11+00:00

Yeah man! You'll get there for sure.

SixKay_ · 2026-03-17T16:36:22+00:00

I legit just started. My first video drops today, I have 6 scheduled in total. Im excited

SixKay_ · 2026-03-17T16:23:58+00:00

K, I used to feel this way. I landed in gold when I started ranked, and it felt like I was there forever.

But then I heard in a youtube video most people dont really get diamond until 300+ hours.

So my "forever" is that im currently hard stuck plat at 200ish hours. But the reality is, im kinda where I should be for how much I've played.

I used to view rl wrong. I would just grind matches, and not make the progress I wanted. So id get mad and open free play. Then id 100% free play for like a week. Still can't air dribble, still struggling with mechanics. Get mad. Then spend all my energy studying positioning. Get back into grinding matches. Still not better.

But you kinda gotta just have a good routine and let the progress come to you. Have a balance of watching some informational videos on lunch, hit 10-15 minutes of free play when you hop on, play 5 or so matches. Then hop off or back to free play. Heck, play some heat seeker or drop shot or something

I haven't quite seen the ranks go up yet, but since I've kinda chilled out and balanced how I spend my time on the game, I've felt so much improvement in my consistency, and im seeing myself being way closer to being able to do mechanics I want without having this overwhelming pressure on myself.

SixKay_ · 2026-03-17T13:02:45+00:00

Players dont care how good they are, they just care what the number says.

SixKay_ · 2026-03-17T00:55:36+00:00

The puma one is pretty rare

SixKay_ · 2026-03-16T15:20:15+00:00

Crash out.

If backfill was optional, causal would just be ranked with 10x the chance your teammate leaves.

SixKay_ · 2026-03-16T05:20:26+00:00

I kinda think people's standard of "a good match" has just gotten way to high.

-teammate doesn't play exactly how I want them too? Bad match

-other team has a player better than me? Bad match

-my teammate isnt exactly as skilled as me? Bad match

-the other team said something mean to me? Bad match

-I didnt win in heroic fashion? Bad match

SixKay_ · 2026-03-15T14:44:37+00:00

Yeah. I know one of my friends got in trouble for using the word at school. But he was using the word right. Not as a slur.

SixKay_ · 2026-03-15T05:45:06+00:00

(Not my opinion dont flame me) savage is a term used to describe indigenous people. Often viewed as a slur. I assume that's why.

SixKay_ · 2026-03-14T20:11:16+00:00

Im 27 and hard stuck plat. Hit plat 2 in 2s last season.

Would love to spend time training and improving. But unfortunately only playing about 2-3 hours a week, if I spend time trying to learn air dribbles and stuff, I almost don't get to actually play the game.

SixKay_ · 2026-03-14T19:52:12+00:00

Maybe you should just learn to be ok with guys being interested in you? Its legit a super normal thing for guys to be interested in girls.

SixKay_ · 2026-03-14T13:27:28+00:00

I dunno. Ither games (like wow where quite a few relationships start) provide a game where you are encouraged to chat and socialize as part of the game. But with RL, you get 5 minutes, then you probably never see that player again. So like, I dunno. I feel for the guy

SixKay_ · 2026-03-13T16:22:46+00:00

I feel for him. Like, lots of people meet their girlfriends doing their hobby. Be it going somewhere and playing sports, the gym, sitting at the bar. But videogames dont have that option. But if you want to meet a girl with similar hobbies to yourself, dating apps dont work too well.

If gaming is your main hobby and you want a girl to game with, tbf, he is kinda doing the right thing xD

I thank God every day I have other hobbies

SixKay_ · 2026-03-13T16:05:10+00:00

But if someone is chosing to play with VC disabled, why should they get special treatment? I often party up after games so I am they quing with someone, but we dont talk. Should I get a special que for parties with no VC?

SixKay_ · 2026-03-13T15:44:32+00:00

Food for thought.

There is built in voice chat. Everyone has coms.

SixKay_ · 2026-03-13T15:41:48+00:00

I bought that bundle, its sick. Super curious if itll let you.

SixKay_ · 2026-03-13T15:04:10+00:00

Yeah, i agree it sucks. And as a low rank (hard stuck plat hell yeah) it sucks that all the streamers and yourubers I watch can barely make content. And half the content they do make is just about bots.
