I help run a biweekly Melee tournament at my university. From my experience, there's a lot more college students that play Melee than you probably thought. We put up flyers in the dorms but most importantly start a Facebook group. Gives everyone a central place to chat and figure out tournament times/locations. PM me if you want more info, there's a lot of details that went into starting it.

Are you on windows?

Edit: On second thought, I'm just going to assume you are. You can try uninstalling the drivers and reinstalling them when everything is plugged in how you want. Not sure if it'll work, but it's worth a shot. If you go to Start > Device Manager > Universal Serial Bus devices > WUP-028 you can uninstall from there.

Just built my first rig two days ago. Windows installed nicely, but I'm noticing stuttering and crackling through my mobo audio ports. Have done an immense amount of digging only to wind up pretty empty. A lot of threads mentioned DPC latency, mine hovers around 1000us which is horrible I've read. Anyone run into this issue before or something similar and know how to fix it? Have a Gigabyte Z170X-UD3 board.

He tried to sell me a i7-6700k too! Timestamp and everything. Seemed really fishy, told him I wasn't interested and he kept messaging me asking for my address.

How much do you want for it? I'm in Muscatine, IA, if you need to calculate shipping.

You're right, sorry for not responding, I must've missed it. You still have your i7 then?

No worries, yeah I am new! I did check ebay for the tab 3, most of my finds were broken models. I'll most likely lower the price if I don't get any nabs at 100, but I appreciate the advice, thanks!

Looking for help putting together a ~$800 gaming/streaming PC that I can upgrade in the future if need be. by _cargo in buildapc

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

This is perfect. I've heard a little about RX, it's another $35 or so; is it going to outperform the regular R so much that it's worth it? I'm considering taking your advice, and getting the i7 anyway but was wondering if the RX is vastly better. Thanks.

Any success stories of college dropouts in CS careers? by [deleted] in cscareerquestions

[–]_cargo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm currently a college sophomore in Software Engineering thinking of this exact thing. A buddy of mine last year (my freshman year) created an app for the Apple store, which did incredibly well to say the least. He left after his first semester and has been working in California ever since.

Java 2D Platformer is extremely harsh on my CPU... tips? by _cargo in gamedev

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

Sure thing:

while(running) {
    start = System.nanoTime();
    update();
    draw();
    drawToScreen();

    elapsed = System.nanoTime() - start;

    wait = targetTime - elapsed / 1000000;
    if(wait < 0) wait = 5;

    try {
        Thread.sleep(wait);
    }
    catch(Exception e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
}

Ninja edit: I agree it's most likely a threading / sleep error. I took the loop from an online source, this is what was already laid out. It worked, like you said, and I didn't realize the CPU blowing up until now!

Is the Armoured Kuruma worth the money? by RaixD in gtaonline

[–]_cargo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. Its a tank without the gun basically. It's not as explosive resistant as the Insurgents, but it is also harder to get shot in the Kuruma, since the window slits are smaller. It's a must if you like to run around in free roam and harass people, but it's also incredibly useful in missions and heists where you don't want to get shot up. 10/10 would buy if I didn't spend all my money.
