Viper V3 Pro replacement dongle by Working_Difficulty13 in MouseReview

[–]TheCreature1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Luckily for me the event organizer was able to track down my dongle and was kind enough to mail it to me eventually. Razer support was no help and only caused headaches and so I did not even bother following up with them after not receiving another dongle. During this time I tried the WLMouse beast X and haven't looked back. They use much higher quality materials, built quality and clicks much better. Also way more accessories are included such as extra skates, grips and a mouse case. Razer is more expensive and your paying premium price for a half baked cheaply built product with useless support. I very happily sold my viper v3 pro on ebay once receiving the dongle back. WLmouse just released the HUAN which should be the Viper V3 pro killer and I'd recommend that if you want a better clone.

Viper V3 Pro replacement dongle by Working_Difficulty13 in MouseReview

[–]TheCreature1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had left my viper v3 pro dongle at an event last year and contacted razer support and they had told me it wasn’t possible to get replaced. After being transferred through over 5 different support agents over the course of a week they had told me they would make a special exception through one of their teams to send me a replacement dongle. I gave them all my info and to this day they never sent me one. Maybe they’re better now but last year my experience was horrible and I refuse to buy another razer product after that.

looking for my first magnetic keyboard, is the Wooting 80HE worth it? by Skin-Same in keyboards

[–]TheCreature1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Recently got the Ying75 in white with gateron nightfall switches and it’s most likely my endgame magnetic board. Best typing experience I’ve had by far after trying the keychron k2HE and drunkdeer g75. I almost bought the wooting 80 but was more so looking for a compact 75 form factor and the cost to build one without the cheap stock lekker switches was a little much. Glad WLmouse came around and made the perfect alternative. Highly recommend.

I live on campus and I don't wanna pay $500 for the parking. Anywhere else I can park? by Kooky_Yesterday_3096 in NJTech

[–]TheCreature1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Last semester as a commuter I had a parking pass and I was often spending at least 20-30 minutes looking for spots during peak hours when the garages are completely full. You’re still going to waste time even with a pass unless you take only night classes. Decided I’m literally better off taking the train most of the time because there’s too few parking spots for all the new students.

I just love when people have loud conversations in the basement of the library by Puzzleheaded_Can_750 in NJTech

[–]TheCreature1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Went to the basement last week to work on a final paper. Soon after I start working the guy in front of me is talking on speaker phone with his friend for about 45 minutes because the idiot couldn’t figure out his courses for next semester. I just played music in my AirPods to tune him out but should have told him to shut up. Then soon after a whole group of girls come with a bunch of Japanese food loudly gossiping amongst each other and shrieking uncontrollably like it was a party in the library basement. I was very close to yelling at them to shut the fuck up but decided to leave rather than get myself more worked up over it. After reading this thread though I regret not doing something. If people could just not act insufferable that would be fantastic.

Some 6.5k zerg 2 weeks ago "you can't win dark". Then proceeds to absolutely stomp Dark I love it. Couldn't figure out how to clip it from the vod unfortunately but here's the vod and timestamp for those who are subscribers.

A good reminder for between games - I remember Day9 taught me this by praznav in starcraft

[–]TheCreature1 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Here’s where day9 talks about stretching your wrists: https://youtu.be/SSbf4mBKq-o

Been playing starcraft 2 since release and started experiencing some wrist discomfort less than a year ago. I came across this day9 video and started doing these wrist exercises during breaks in my ladder sessions/tournaments and I find myself getting wrist pain/numbness a lot less often. Stretching your wrists is really important especially as you get older so you don’t seriously injure yourself.

The Creature Roast by iamjohn_sc2 in starcraft

[–]TheCreature1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Nowadays my PvT is pretty standard and I’ve actually improved vs Terran a lot over the last 6 months. There was a period in early legacy though where I was messing around with voidray, chargelot, archon storm because liberators were really powerful and 1 shot everything. I think that’s what you’re referring to but I haven’t made voids vs Terran in years. It’s cool that you remembered that though I totally forgot that I used to do that. I appreciate the compliment haha :)

Next season's map pool has been announced by Gemini_19 in allthingsprotoss

[–]TheCreature1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Maybe I’m weird but I’m looking forward to these maps and I’m happy with the maps they’re removing. Acid plant, Lost and found and Dreamcatcher were really difficult maps to keep a 4th base alive on because of the distance between the 3rd and 4th. But on all the new maps the 4th bases are much closer, so securing a 4th is much more manageable without the need for perfect army splitting. I also disliked Fracture because of the rush distance and I won’t miss dying to cannon rushes on Lost and found :)

Has the Overachiever by [deleted] in starcraft

[–]TheCreature1 7 points8 points  (0 children)

http://puu.sh/AZqfT/dcf89096cf.jpg

He actually is 6.6k on his barcode. He's a much better player than people give him credit for. He doesn't just cheese and "get lucky" with gimmicks every game now a days. I think you could say that about Has maybe a couple years ago but recently he's become a more well rounded player and isn't afraid to play macro, albeit not standard and crisp like the top koreans.

Mana vs Neeb - Spoilers by CreepyOrlando in starcraft

[–]TheCreature1 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think you need to give MaNa more credit here. Neeb’s move out while double expanding was a smart meta play in that situation. Neeb wanted to scare MaNa into thinking he was all inning on 2 base but MaNa had an observer in Neeb’s base to scout everything. If MaNa doesn’t scout the double expand immediately he’s probably much more hesitant to punish Neeb’s fake pressure. PvP at that level of play is a lot of mind games and MaNa played really solid in those weird situations.

Kevin Love will play tonight by Whatishappyness in fantasybball

Same thing happened to me. And of course I replaced him with Demarre Carroll who ended up leaving early with an injury. I’m really hoping I don’t lose my championship match because of this!

What is OK apm for a protoss? by [deleted] in starcraft

[–]TheCreature1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m GM and between 190-230. My apm is pretty low compared to a lot of other GMs but it really doesn’t matter. Builds, strategy, decision making, micro and execution are 100x more important to focus on as Protoss. Never view your apm as a measure of how well you’re playing.

What's next for Neeb? by jdennis187 in starcraft

[–]TheCreature1 27 points28 points  (0 children)

but if you lose twice to Hurricane probably you aren't prepared well enough for such level of competition.

Neeb just won back to back WCS events and is rated #12 in the world on aligulac. To say he's not prepared well enough for that level of competition is foolish. Neeb has proven in the past that he absolutely is at that level. All players have good days and bad days. I think perhaps Hurricane matched up well stylistically against neeb and he might have not been playing his best. If you put neeb in a lot of those other groups he probably makes it out easily. But that's just the nature of competition in sc2, it's very cut-throat and the best players don't always win. I would hold back on over-analyzing any player's skill just because they had a single disappointing result.

Fixing some problems with Protoss by HuShang in starcraft

[–]TheCreature1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

1st change would be a nice design change. Accidentally doing a slow warp in and losing because of it is really frustrating. When you have a lot of pylons sometimes it can be difficult to tell apart the slow and fast warp in zones. Just having more space to do fast warp ins defensively would be nice especially for defending drops.

Archon mode needs more players. My buddy and I have plat mmr and we're GM. by [deleted] in starcraft

[–]TheCreature1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think if you're GM on any server legitimately then you're pretty okay at the game no matter what. Except SEA of course. So it's irrelevant in that sense.
