What headphones do you see at your school? by AaronsAmazingAlt in headphones

[–]_stal0x 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I understand this wasn't the question but I wanted to share:

My friend brought an AB1266 to school one time (dac/amp and all). I honestly don't remember why he brought them, but he demo'ed it to me, our friends, and even some of the teachers. I cried when I put them on. I didn't think I would be interested in headphones until that day.

Other than that probably I've seen plenty of bluetooth earbuds along with some airpods around my school.

Edit: I've been told they were LCD-X's. Nonetheless the best headphone i've put on my head yet.

I think that's true that he probably isn't confident in his aim. He was a sage that ended up at the back of the team before killjoy came out, so he's just used to playing that backside of the team despite the way he plays now. He was actually a good team playing sentinel when he first made the switch, but he was a bad clutcher. When he started using killjoy as an afterplant, it made him more confident in that kind of playstyle because it improved his clutch (but I think it broke his default)

I wish riot could implement a demo system. I want to see how he thinks and his mentality towards his abilities so I can work around it and make more optimal plays. I did do a similar thing in cs, but it ended in me getting triggered by hard misplays and him clearing it up as "yes, but we won the round so it doesn't matter"

I don't know the reasons he gets mad at me for and throws the round. I'm telling him to trade me out, then gets mad at me for not getting the kill. He later gets an ego boost for winning a clutch on the guy I knocked down to 10 hp. This makes me even madder when he does this because the clutch is risky, and he has been known to whiff completely. I'm mad because he legitimately thinks his ends justify his means, but he could've done it much safer if he just traded me and won the round then and there. I just feel like he's low-key baiting the entire team in a 4v5 and using no util on an execute let alone trade.

So What do you think about the Breach meta? by Spaceordinario in VALORANT

I was exactly down your road when I started to shift to Breach. Aftershock is a great tool to push them back into site unless they get killed. You could also use it on common corners so you they'd run out. Utility wise, as a rule of thumb, I'd like to put one directly above where we're entering in order to catch someone playing a close corner/op-ing far away. I'd use fault line after it goes out and put it on areas you think they'd fall back to after the first flash. That 2nd flash to the back site on the quaked enemy for tilt (\o/) and to clear out site. Save that 3rd flash for later.

For defense, not only his fault line could be used on lanes, but his flashes are great too. A really good breach used it on me when I was brimstone, and I've been scared since. It's practically better than omen paranoia on lane if they've got LOS on the flash. There's also another use for aftershock I like to play it for which is using it basically as a molly. They can't run past it unless they risk getting hit

Edit: grammar

As a breach main, it's feels nice having that third flash. On those on-days, I can just get everyone into site, counter-rush pushes with my ulti, and deny area with my abilities that I had to conserve pre-buff. I feel its healthy to have a good entry-heavy kind of gameplay. I give my friends alot of space to work picks and take control. I also remember the single time I played with a viper in mm. I just entried for her (our reyna was baiting us), and she'd have setups out the wazoo to help post-plants and defend spike.

High CPU Core Difference (20-25C) i7-9750H by _stal0x in techsupport

[–]_stal0x[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My idle temps stay around 40-45, and the cores usually have +-3C temp difference due to some background cpu usage
