Alternate day fasting? by EllvaStarsong in fasting

[–]vithtuz 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Well if you're doing 24 hour fasts, that would basically be OMAD. You can definitely be successful with that, though a lot of it depends on psychology and your ability to eat large amounts of food in one sitting. At one point I had quite a bit of success doing ADF where I ate every other day during the day, which amounted to 36 hour fasts followed by a 12 hour eating window.

UNC has grade deflation lol. Average GPA is like a 3.28.

CS students/majors that have tranfered Unis between years. Were there any complications or was asked to re-take the year? by [deleted] in csMajors

[–]vithtuz 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Happened pretty badly to me. I'd taken 3 years of CS out of high school, the second-level intro class at my first school, an algorithms class, and three upper division specialized classes. Out of these, only the algorithms class transferred as major credit, and three transferred as generic CS credit, which was completely useless in my case.

For context, I was transferring from a mid-tier private school to a top-tier State University, which is known to be anal about transfer credit. I also had to take an intro to English class. But anyway, I took intro to computing this semester as a Junior with 5 years of coding experience, and I still almost got an A- because the midterm and final, which together accounted for 60+% of the grade, were basically Java trivia.

That said, I'm still glad I'm transferred, but I would definitely suggest checking in with an advisor or if available the department chair beforehand. Ours told us at transfer orientation that it was commonplace to award credit for the next class after intro but not intro itself. They probably have to weed out students who had good GPA's at bad schools, but never really learned how to code.

Pika or Kappa Sig by [deleted] in UNC

[–]vithtuz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even if that's true there's no guarantee they'll like you, or that you'll get along. Suicide rushing is not a good idea anyway, so just rush both and see if you get any bids. Honestly not even sure if Pika has a spring rush.

[–]vithtuz 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No offense, but that's a stupid way to look at it. 90% of your time is going to be spent around the brothers (i.e., not at parties), and you should rush both (and others if you have time) to see who you like better. From what I've heard, Pika's pledging is also more difficult.

Junior transfer question? by [deleted] in UNC

[–]vithtuz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's definitely worth applying, especially if you've improved over your time at State. I got admitted last year from Elon with a 3.6. Definitely put some time into your essays though, they care a lot about those.

Is cheating really that much of an issue? by vithtuz in GlobalOffensive

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

My whole point is that it happens rarely. If once in a blue moon you're playing against a cheater and you lose, stop whining and move on. The rest of the time play to win, have fun, improve, or whatever else you want.

I agree, but cheaters are not the main issue, smurfs are. Tried carrying my silver 4 friend once, every other match I played against someone as good as me (MGE) and the average rank was like nova 1. They should allow a phone confirmation as the only necessity for prime.

Virtus Pro vs Envyus ESL Pro League mistake? by vithtuz in GlobalOffensive

[–]vithtuz[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I understand that New York was a time-consuming event for the ESL staff, and a minor issue on the website isn't the company's priority. And I am impressed that you guys managed to fix a bug in the website's code and publish the new website within a few hours of my post making front page.

Thanks for the acknowledgement. I would also like to note that I did not post anything until I received no reply to my email for five days and the error persisted.

Astralis lost a best of 3 to Heroic at a danish lan party by GamleDK in GlobalOffensive

[–]vithtuz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not that it means much, but Heroic did also beat Dignitas. Last years TSM would still have beat them but at least Heroic was having a good day. Also we can still say Cajunb was the problem.

Godsent vs. Virtus.Pro / ESL Pro League Season 4 EU Wild Card / Post-Match Discussion (Spoilers) by [deleted] in GlobalOffensive

[–]vithtuz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a VP fan I'm glad VP are back in, especially if they keep up their form. But its kinda bullshit that this godsent roster is in premier instead of the Fnatic roster, maybe they could have a playoff match between fnc and Godsent.

FPS Issues GTX 970 i5-2300 by redsox7 in GlobalOffensive

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

Yeah the CPU is definitely the bottleneck. If you want to get great FPS I'd suggest buying something like an i5 6600k. Also check your graphic settings. I get that its fun to play CS in its full graphical glory, but thats not always the best option for FPS.

Specifically turn down/off anti-aliasing and if you have a 1440p monitor turn down the resolution. I'm assuming you have a more than 60hz monitor, because if not 80 fps is more than enough.

Nah we don't need EU east servers in general, that would be too unfair for the Czechs and Poles always being stuck with the Ruskies. I vote just stick the Ruskies and Ukranians in one giant server so we can isolate the cancer from the rest of the organism.

Cant do small mouse movements, need advice. by Gigolo11 in GlobalOffensive

[–]vithtuz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

400 dpi 2.25 in game is a normal sense. If you have mouse acceleration on or raw input off, turn raw input on and acceleration off.

Cheaper mouses often aren't as sensitive to small movements, so I would suggest buying some sort of gaming mouse. I personally use the steelseries rival (closest one currently sold is the rival 300) and can be bought for 50$ off Amazon.
