The discord is not the official discord of this site, just a place where people from here can hang out if they do have discord, if you have a problem with offensive jokes or people suggesting views that you do not agree with that's your problem, none of the admins or mods there want to police or censor people unless it crosses the line and the barebone rules in place.

    Man people like you put me in a position to defend Trump which I would rather not do but you are blatantly skewing everything to fit what you're shipping so guess I have no choice.

    oh those silly nazis, what scamps :)

    hate is hate, to brush it off as a joke, or as "trolling" is wrong. ask yourself why someone may find those jokes funny. it's usually (if not always) because of one's hateful views.

    you're also right that I do have a problem with people suggesting views that I don't agree with, those views just happen to be racist, sexist, xenophobic, etc. views. weird

    so if white supremacy is okay in there, what exactly crosses the line?

    Nobody says racism doesn't exist, rather than the fact that it's an overplayed card and the entire term is open to interpretation of each person, as for a small group of teenage students doing what teenagers do best, I don't see how they represent me, my opinion or millions of other people. Guilt by association does not work, there are all types of disgusting people endorsing either candidate.

    It wasn't students spouting hate, the crowd was largely made of middle-aged adults. by brushing off hate, you allow them to represent you. I have yet to see you actually denounce hate, only defend it.

    the motherfucker was wearing a lapel mic. I may have said worse when I was 12, but I've grown up since then, and have rejected hateful views. Trump wasn't a 12 year old when that was recorded. adults should know better.

    Quote from Vorontsov

    3 hours ago, Vorontsov said: Adding onto that, that's the reason why the overwhelming majority of people working in any type of national security so to say, like military, border control, police, support Trump. It's because they don't live in the same bubble as more common folks do, their illusions are quickly shattered by the reality of things and that's the fastest way to realize things are not as black and white as everyone makes them out to be.

    I would appreciate if you could give any statistics for this, though a certain occupation doesn't make one infallible. I live in a state where that was proven over the summer, when an innocent black man was shot and killed by an officer after being pulled over. In fact, many argue that this is a larger problem with the police as a whole.

    nah racism sexism and xenophobia don't exist, especially on this site whose discord channel regularly shares white supremacy memes (or at least did before i peaced the fuck out) and we had to ban an actual white supremacist somewhat recently ?

    trump visited my university at one point close to the election (once hillary thought she won the midwest, but we saw what happened :/), students of color were literally told to go to class at their own risk. meanwhile, the crowd was telling those students to go back to where they came from, but w/e racism doesn't exist. of course, sexism and xenophobia also don't exist, after all our new president told us he sexually assaults women, as well as telling us mexicans are rapists :)

He has just been sworn in, let's perhaps wait till he handles those things badly first maybe? It's like people outside of here protesting against Teresa May because of Brexit, nothing has happened yet! Actions speak louder than words...

    yes, let's wait for everything to collapse to protest, that's a great idea. it's just like waiting until your car crashes to put on your seatbelt, or waiting for until you have a heart attack before you start caring about your health. ??

    It's 2016, we should be able to make a motherboard that isn't a piece of shit.

    Well, it'll be cool when I have a PC again in ~3 weeks.

    An addendum to the addendum: I cut my losses and picked up an EVGA Z170 FTW, but it turns out my motherboard actually didn't fail in the first place! The CPU actually seems to have died, oddly enough! From what I have messed with it though, the EVGA board is much better than the ROG board. If my PC actually worked I'd be rather happy with it... The BIOS is written in plain english, it's kind of incredible. One weird thing, though, is that the POST is a full color image that's a little ugly, but w/e, it's functional and has almost everything I want. The only major issue is that it doesn't have USB 2.0 headers like I wanted, but that's my case being weird.

    First CPU I've seen fail in my life, funny enough, it happened right after commenting on how rare that is with a friend.

Luckily, the new cheap and good gtx 1050s were supposed to launch yesterday, but it seems to be going horribly. Is this how tech product launches normally go? Because I'm not seeing any reporting on what a dumpster fire this has been, but it's totally a fucking dumpster fire. The only products listed on Amazon are third party price gougers selling a $110 budget card for $200+, all the versions listed on Newegg are also marked up and completely sold out, etc. This shit is ridiculous. Even for other video cards, despite news before launch that AMD was proactively cutting prices on their budget video cards to compete, prices instead have skyrocketed by about $40 across the board, according to the graphs on PC Parts Picker.

    What the fuck, computer part industry? I just wanna be able to use my computer again. ;(

    The Pascal launches have been *bad*. I got my 1070 not long ago (two weeks before my motherboard exploded!), and it was still $30 over msrp. Similarly, while shopping for motherboard, I found the very same i7 6700 that I bought for $350 retailing for $305. Not the best year or so for buying computer parts...

  • Nintendo Switch

    Nintendo is being very savvy in using Skyrim and NBA 2kXX to advertise the Switch. As someone living in a college dorm, Skyrim is still the game people talk about. People still often own 360s, they still don't know which current gen console to own. This isn't designed for just nerds arguing about framerates and specs, it's for the people that got excited about Pokemon Go.

    I'm curious if Nintendo will further open their dev program when the Switch releases, will the Switch just work as a devkit? If so, the Switch could have one of the best game libraries out there. I would love to be able to develop for a portable console by myself.

    I'm going for future-proof (usb 3.1 would be cool, but pointless lol), but I just want quite a few USB 3 ports, like 4-6 is what i'm going for because i'm a nightmare person. I need support for DDR4 3200, a 1151 socket, intel LAN (killer has no linux support ://///), and USB 3.0 and 2.0 pins. I'm maybe leaning more towards the MSI Gaming Pro (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc…N82E16813130867 ) right now, but I'm not too convinced.

    I've only really looked at EVGA, MSI, and ASUS's stuff, maybe Gigabyte will have something good? I've owned two of their boards, they've worked, but the software was always a bit dodgy.

    EDIT: Now I'm looking at this Gigabyte board: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc…N82E16813128841 . It seems to have everything I need, though I would want more USB because i'm a crazy person (as a side note, who designs the IO there?! everything is all over the place!)

    EDIT2: Or I could go for this ASUS board and join the REPUBLIC OF GAMER'S (R)(TM)(C): http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813132586 . It has more USB 2.0 due to lack of VGA+DVI (cuz it's 2016), though it looks like the USB 3.1 controller is wonky. The USB3 header is better placed for my case. Also it's much more expensive than the Gigabyte board. Maybe better quality??? Might as well just title this post "the motherboards are dreadful corner presented by party man x" I have literally been researching motherboards for days, I have a CPU arriving wednesday, and RAM today (maybe???), they're all terrible.

    An addendum to this shitshow: after being the most questionably stable motherboard I have owned for about 9 months, my ROG MAXIMUS VIII RANGER (TM)(R)(C) decided it just didn't like working today (seemingly, could be the CPU that failed, too...).

  • Playstation 4

    fucked up that Valve was the one to actually make the DS4 work with all pc games easily instead of Sony or Microsoft. It is rad, though, that you can rebind buttons for any game on a per-game basis, including stuff that a PS4 couldn't even do, like gyro controls/aiming.

    It will be even better when I will be able to map something like a fightstick to any game without worrying about directinput and xinput and even the way buttons are mapped. Better than re-wiring the buttons when I want to play games not designed for a stick!

    Compatibility versions of several Community maps from past Operations are being uploaded right now.

    • Coast
    • Empire
    • Mikla
    • Royal
    • Santorini
    • Tulip
    • Log
    • Rails
    • Resort

    Edit: More maps still being uploaded..

    • Season
    • Zoo

    Is there something bigger in the works? Let's hope we'll be able to play older Operation maps in official playlists. :)

    Probably removing them from the game's package to reduce the install size, I would bet.

    yeah w/e there were no issues whatsoever with the old sounds, forget that they clipped in a thousand places, ship it ??

    Really though, that old sound is broken as fuck. Sounds that clip that much really shouldn't be shipping with the game.

    4 hours ago, dux said: They are rubbish at maintaining this game. I haven't played in over a month from sheer frustrations are their ineptitude. Now I see they are charging you to spray a logo on the wall? Lol /quit

    yeah all those bugs they fixed really ruined it all for me

    Really though, adding sprays (which you don't have to buy, btw) barely changed anything. This is mostly just another example of the CS community being conservative to a fault. Literally every change to the game is whined about for weeks on end (remember when the community was in panic mode because you could no longer doom-run while scoped with an awp? lmao). Frankly I'm a bit happy that the sprays were added so dumbshits who know nothing about audio stopped complaining that they changed the objectively trash gun sounds.

    imo the spray system just needs a few tweaks to be good: removal of the 50 spray limit on paid sprays, and limiting the use of them in competitive to only be in non-active times.

    1 hour ago, blackdog said: @Vorontsov crouch jumping has nothing to do with spam crouching 8|

    There would be nothing to fix if they implemented the 1.6 crouching, by the way, which is what i have repeated enough times already.

    Then you have the problem where your actual head is above your camera, the reverse of the issue that everyone had with the game up until last patch, which also feels terrible and unintuitive (just like getting a small hop when you cancel crouching, which makes no sense at all).

    If I were in charge of "fixing" it, I would like to see a spike in inaccuracy while your head is moving down, making the player more likely to commit to one or the other.
