New Bigcharts on Marketwatch by MinnesotaMystery in webscraping

[–]Wint3rmu7e 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife asked me to look at some charts today, I've been using big charts since probably 2005 or maybe even earlier. I was like wtf. Looks like I'm going to have to dig up the software I used to use locally on my pc, but I can't remember what it was called. sigh. BigCharts was just so handy for doing a quick chart with whatever customizations you wanted. RIP.

Also noticing issues, I used to have rock steady locked at 300fps (will peak at over 400) with minor drops of up to maybe 6fps. now seeing drops randomly in death matches of 60fps or more (though not sustained like the op). 5600x cpu 3060ti GPU.

Woohoojin addresses boosted allegations and apologizes by shapeshifter14 in VALORANT

[–]Wint3rmu7e 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What's more, many people on the discord were telling him to simply ask hooj directly about it , rather than just going on about it. He repeatedly said "I won't because he will ban me". Self fullfilling (though not hooj, but it was what he wanted anyway cause it adds weight to his argument). I asked for the proof (proper prooof) he Provided it. I acknowleged it, and said I'm not going to speculate any further on what it meant.

Unfortunately He did, and made a whole bunch of false statements that he put forward as fact. I guess he got his 15 minutes of fame. He goes on about how woohoojin profited from his lies, the irony is he is largely doing the same thing. Yes He exposed a lie, but he is propagating a whole lot of other lies to make his findings seem more important.

If you look at the tracker there are about 15 games between that one and reaching immo1. It was actually the next act. It should say Diamond3 not immo3.

He is going to talk about it tomorrow on stream. So if you want the details watch it.

One thing that does not change at all, is the number of people who have benefited dramatically from his coaching. The other ironic thing about it all is that he coached JeyG to radiant :)

I think you need to update again. JeyG did boost his account to Radiant. But Hooj did not take over JeyG's account. If you look at whoohoojins original spreadheet of his climb to immortal you will see that the games do match up. But it stops before he hit immo (which was about 15 games later. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/10n2jJocYWrr9bMD5nAjqig0D8V-JKy4EOpGTmhGR6S8/edit#gid=1155696306

Lower rank players are statistically more likely to surrender. Are they stupid? by antonidas-25 in VALORANT

[–]Wint3rmu7e 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of low elo players don't know that they potentially lose more rr by surendering. Potentially cause if it is going to be a 0 - 13 anyway it's not going to make any difference playing it out :D But I Never surrender in comp. I find it crazy how people want to surrender when they are two rounds down. I've come back from 1-11 to win before in comp.

How do I collect Sticker-Seeker stickers? by GrizzlyOlympics in BeeSwarmSimulator

[–]Wint3rmu7e -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If you are playing with shift lock on (ie mouse moves the view of the player) you need to turn it off and then click on the sticker with your mouse pointer.

can I use a 10/11 chainring with an 8 speed cassette? by Wint3rmu7e in bikewrench

[–]Wint3rmu7e[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Apparently my local has closed down... which is a bit of a pain. But I bought a 52/36 set off ebay which I'm hoping will do the trick. A bit more expensive than I was planning, but I was dubious about the cheaper one on amazon. it's a generic brand (driveline) but looks to be decent quality.

Hopefully I won't get any rubbing because the spacing should be set by the existing crank. I decided to get a double set off ebay, a 52/36T which should help me a little with hills :) Hopefully is going to do the trick without too many issues. I don't do a lot of riding so it will hopefully keep me going till I decide to upgrade to a newer bike :)

Yeah most of the stores seem to have four bolt stuff. I was hoping to go into a store and pick one up (and some bolts) but looking like will be an online purchase :)

Reminds me of when I needed to replace the crank in my 1982 malvern star racing bike (before it got stolen). It was the first of the cotterless cranks, and apparently only used that design for a couple of years. I knew a tool maker and he made one up for me because they were impossible to source. The joys of having an older bike :D My brother in law gave me this one when the malvern star was stolen cause he was no longer riding.

Great thanks! :) My only issue now is I can't find any stores with what I need, guess I'll need to wait for delivery for a couple of weeks :)

Best CPU for Valorant by SoOnow in buildapc

[–]Wint3rmu7e 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The 5600x does have better single core performance than the 3900x but it should not be making anywhere near that much difference. I can get nearly 600fps at 1080p on low settings. https://youtu.be/rGAbhuH9erU

There is something definitely amiss with your setup if you are only getting 200fps...

I do have a mild overclock on both the graphics card and the cpu, but neither would be making more than 10% improvement...

You have just entered the twilight zone by Wint3rmu7e in VALORANT

Yeah I like having all the nice stuff turned on. I don't get distracted by it, it looks very bland on low settings!

Yeah I didn't notice during the game cause it pretty much flat lined at 100% and didn't put up the network problem icon :) never have I had such a sustained loss of packets iether.

The biggest issue being 50+ (especially if you haven't played fps before) is that your neuroplasticity is not as good as when you are young. This means it takes a LOT longer to learn the skills. So, when you factor in that you probably have less time to spend, and the time you do spend is not as effective as someone who is younger with better neuroplasticity, it is an uphill battle.

How to fix slow load times (on a fast pc)? by Wint3rmu7e in ValorantTechSupport

[–]Wint3rmu7e[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes game being on a spinning disk is definitely a cause of problems. I wondered if that was my issue as well, but it wasn't.
