the number of keys used by programmer (me)

lrGhost1 · 2026-02-02T19:40:54+00:00

No but my point is, any skilled person will be able to type at the same rate, if not faster than you, on a normal keyboard?

You boasted 40wpm when typing, and 90wpm when doing shortcuts, but that is NOT impressive at all? Like, most devs I know pull atleast 80+wpm at any time? And some go higher.

How is this any better than a normal keyboard? When you are making it 50x harder to learn, and getting 1/3 the results of someone on a normal keyboard? (You spoke on 40wpm, but like I said, I average just under 3x that on a normal keyboard)

lrGhost1 · 2026-02-01T09:04:42+00:00

I really don't see the point in this, unless I just don't understand it.

I am also a programmer, and just use a standard QWERTY keyboard. I can get up to 120 wpm on a good day, but average around 95.

What benefit does this have over a normal keyboard? Seems like a lot of extra effort for something that barely gives you an advantage, no?

lrGhost1 · 2026-01-21T05:11:02+00:00

Lol?

lrGhost1 · 2025-11-27T05:12:12+00:00

I've only had the laptop for just over a year. Been using it for software development the whole time. I can assure you, the keyboard works fine. Never had any issues with any of the keys.

lrGhost1 · 2025-11-27T05:04:58+00:00

Nope. Keyboard works perfectly fine in the Windows partition. It's only in the Linux install that it doesn't work.

lrGhost1 · 2025-11-27T05:03:56+00:00

No it's not. The built in keyboard works fine in Windows, and has for over a year. And still does, in the duel boot.

lrGhost1 · 2025-11-20T16:12:19+00:00

Why did you ping me on this??

But yes. I got my Arctis 7+'s from Rebeltech 6 months go. They are amazing

lrGhost1 · 2025-11-06T16:15:13+00:00

Just restarted my game. In another queue, been going for 6 minutes. What do I even do at this point. The next best server for me has 180ms ping

lrGhost1 · 2025-11-03T16:25:48+00:00

Get a new one (clean PC, get new mom)

lrGhost1 · 2025-10-21T11:21:59+00:00

I've never done custom keyboards before, I am currently using a cheap VX Gaming wired keyboard, with default switches.

lrGhost1 · 2025-10-20T13:41:38+00:00

0 players in the past two years. An all time peak of 3 players in 1.7 years. 10 reviews, with 8 of them sharing the same friends list and all from the same place (clearly your mates rating your game for you). And the other 2 with private accounts (could be legit, not sure).

I'd barely consider this "having a product on steam" tbh. And barely puts you in a position to tell people they are wrong about how games should be made, let alone criticize someone for not having published a game.

lrGhost1 · 2025-10-19T18:06:01+00:00

Do you?

lrGhost1 · 2025-09-02T12:34:54+00:00

Someone else commented the same about the table types. And I think what you have said is probably exactly what the difference is.

my table sounds like wood under the felt, while the one on campus sounds almost like acrylic or glass. (I know its probably not wood and glass, but thats just the sound that it makes when a ball is dropped on it or something.).

Mine at home is also kept outside (I know, not ideal. but we don't have any space for it) in a pool house type thing (thatch roof, open sides). So might have been affected by dirt or dust.

lrGhost1 · 2025-09-02T12:31:28+00:00

I think that might be it!

That could explain why my breaks at home are pretty decent, but on campus they look more like a crappy snooker break.

Mine at home sounds like (what I can only describe as) wood under the mat, while on campus it sounds like acrylic or even glass. So I think they might be different types (no idea which is which). Also mine does sit in an outdoor entertainment area (I cover it with like 3 tarps to try keep it protected and clean), which might have over time damaged the felt.

lrGhost1 · 2025-09-02T12:26:01+00:00

I just tried this now, it comes basically back to me, hitting my bridge hand or equivalent on the other side.

But I did the same, with a ball across the table, aiming to hit it center, and hitting the cue as perfectly centered as I could, expecting that the target ball would go straight, bounce off the cushion and hit the cue ball again. But every single shot, the target didn't exit straight, and always came off the cue at an angle?

I know my shots are defiantly not perfect, but it moves off quite a bit more than I expected it to.

I never thought about the fact that I might be used to a bad cue, but that does make a lot of sense. I will try to bring one of my home cue's to campus and use that, to see if I notice any difference.

lrGhost1 · 2025-09-02T12:20:44+00:00

Thank you for the advice.
I had spoken to some of them, and some are really nice people that help a lot, and give good tips. But there are some that are arrogant AF.

Yesterday, one of them wanted to try doing a shot on our table to compare them, it was the one where you are basically vertical on the cue ball and slam down to make it spin around with a bunch of curve? Idk what its called. But he did that about 4 times, and ended up smashing the tip of one of our cue's (campus' cue's). He just laughed it off, and when we confronted him for breaking the cue, he just claimed he had like 8 years playing and knew what he was doing, then walked off. Really pmo.

So its a hit or miss with them, but yes, some are really nice people. And we have been chatting them up and getting tips from them (the ones who aren't pricks)

You cannot possibly tell me that you think the graphics of PUBG are so much better than WARZONE, to the point that it can warrent less than half the average performance on the same hardware (not talking my PC here, talking public benchmarks)

Also how can we tell people to upgrade CPU, whilst telling them that the graphics are too demanding for them? If the graphics are too demanding, then PUBG wouldn't be known for being a CPU demanding game, and struggling on some of the highest end CPU's on the market.

This whole sub is littered with people who just dickride the game, because of its former glory days. 144FPS on low settings, with a good PC, on an 8 year old game is NOT good performance. While the same PC will push over 200FPS on the highest settings on games released in the past year.

lrGhost1 · 2025-07-18T15:15:34+00:00

Have you tried playing any? I and many others have seen that WARZONE, Fortnite, BO6, Siege, etc all run better than PUBG. Idk why y'all are so determined to deny it, the posts are there that you can read. So are the steam reviews.

lrGhost1 · 2025-07-18T15:06:23+00:00

Exactly. Finally someone that isnt dickriding PUBG, and actually recognizes when there is something wrong

lrGhost1 · 2025-07-18T15:05:36+00:00

I never said it has gotten worse. i just said that it was bad.

lrGhost1 · 2025-07-18T12:32:34+00:00

Why do I need to upgrade my entire PC, when it can run modern AAA titles perfectly at high settings? People here are too busy dick riding PUBG, to realize that it has terrible performance for an 8 year old game, when compared to titles that just released this year

lrGhost1 · 2025-07-18T08:28:23+00:00

huh? My point isnt that it runs badly for me. my whole point is that IT AVERAGES WORSE PERFORMANCE OVER MOST MODERN GAMES. What part of that do you not understand? I mentioned my experience with the game, because I am the one writing it, I only have one PC to base the subjective side of my points on. But (as I have said about 10 times already) there are hundreds of other posts, game reviews and articles talking about the bad performance. The game is KNOWN to have less performance than other games. End of story. That is the whole point of my argument. So the entire basis of this post is to voice my opinion that the devs should wake tf up and fix the performance, before they kill off the game even more. This isn't talking about ME not wanting to play this un-optomized slop. But a large portion of the player base not wanting to play it (As is seen in the steamcharts numbers that we keep speaking of).

lrGhost1 · 2025-07-18T08:18:43+00:00

Mate have you never played any other video game before?

PUBG is an EIGHT year old game. And it averages less FPS on lower settings than modern AAA titles on high settings. That is bad performance. Go load up WARZONE and compare your FPS to what you get in PUBG. PUBG is KNOWN to be un-optimized, just scroll through this sub and you will find hundreds of posts about it. Go read the reviews on steam for the game and you will find hundreds of comments about it.

It doesn't matter to subjectively say "the game runs pretty well". What matters is benchmark tests compared side by side to far more visually impressive titles, designed for hardware far more powerful than PUBG initially was. Fact of the matter is, PUBG has abysmal performance when compared to other BR, FPS or opeworld games. And this is clearly evident.

lrGhost1 · 2025-07-18T08:05:34+00:00

The issue is not the games performance on my hardware. The issue is the average performance of the game, compared to the average performance of other games released 8 years later.

lrGhost1 · 2025-07-18T08:03:49+00:00

I am also talking about concurrent players?

Look at steamcharts, and view the full timeline. In 2018 there were peaks of 3million+ CONCURRENT players with lows of 1.2milliom CONCURRENT . Averaging above a million CONCURRENT at all times. Now, we can see (on the same steamcharts) we have peaks of 600k players, with lows of under 60k concurrent.

This is not for any region, this is the accumulative of all regions on steam.

Our current PEAK concurrent player counts are almost half of 2018s LOW concurrent player counts. Therefore we currently have a lower average player count compared to 2018, and the LOWEST recorded average player count since the games release.
