  • Want Help Building / Upgrading a PC?

    Hi everyone , I wanted to get advices for a PC monitor. I want a not too expensive monitor for work and to play with as well. Budget is less than 200 euros. Two things I really want are something good to limit eye strain, and a well uilt monitor which could last a few years at least 3-4 years. On the size front, I thought 22 to 25 inches should be enough.

    The best monitor I found so far is that one:

    retailer (in french but that gives the price etc)

    what would you think about such a choice?


    Thanks in advance /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" title=":)" width="15">

    I actually like the new iteration of the looks of the mobile version /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" title=":)" width="15">

    Just had one weird thing which happened once so that's probably an issue of my Internet connection not loading the text editing area. If that happens again and often everyone should be complaining by now!

    Thanks for the update!

    To me it's an evolution which should be welcomed.

    I tried to design a similar type of thing, with a door which is unlocked by a button. The things I learned with that was to:

    -first, ask the question: what does it provide to the map? Is it a way to boost a team, to refrain a team?

    -secondly, I had to ask myself how it can be abused to tame it down and balance it. For instance, for a team not to abuse it, the other team can have the possibility to use it to their advantage as well. What other have said about noise is something useful for balance: make it so if a team use it, it can be countered by a smoke or something like that for instance.

    - thirdly, what kind of classic design could achieve the same tactical opportunities, boost? One way drops? Etc.

    -fourthly, and lastly, how can I make people understand the rules of the mecanism in an obvious way?

    I don't know what has arisen from your thoughts, and I'd be happy to hear all about it, but to my mind those are the question I asked myself to use new mechanics for competitive viable maps.

    Thank you so far for your feedback. It shows me, that i wasnt too wrong with my concerns about complexity...

    If I understand you right you'd completely remove the T-Drop path and change the route from court to B-Main by shifting it's entrance position more towards mid.

    I didn't see th non walkable area when I saw the overview on my phone, so I wanted to suggest to remove it, but you already did:

    So I'll be saying almsot the same as you with that:

    I'd try to simplify redundant paths. For instance on the A part of the map, you have the T drop and a connector which lead in the A side - mid connector that could be simplified with only one route instead of two. Or maybe the first embranchement to B, it is going in parallel of the start of mid, and that's something you could imagine simplifying, making people go through the beginning of mid to go to B

    If you have any SCM issues or questions I can try to help out. Regardless of whether you choose git or p4

    I will take you up on that help offer when i'll have covered the basics I guess. Currently I am struggling to set up correct workspaces and correct file mapping, but I tried to set those up when I was really tired, so that explains!

    Are there things to look out for on the server side, like particular specifications?

    Having no server myself I'm using the cloud based service from Perforce to begin with, which, from what I understood, is like Assembla but with more space storage on the free versions (5Go should be enough for that game since it is supposed to be a lightweight game usable on mobile devices, or maybe I'm completely off, it's the first game my team is doing to be honest)

    How much humiliation must I subject myself to if I end up actually playing?

    if you're talking about being rekt, it will depend on your level, but even those who were global elite (maybe still are?) aren't going to absolutely shred you to pieces if you are only in the nova - silver area like me

    You will still play the game and should have fun :)

    a more realistic option could be a photonic propulsion laser launchpad.

    this technique allows us to push a 100kg unit to mars within some days. and its feasible with the technology we have today.

    Those americans! They think they are the only one doing things in the world (that guy made me laugh when he talked about Ligo's mirrors ^^ Have you listened to the conference? so few concrete infos to really take that too serisouly) ANyway, that will be at NiHil's to decide for his artistic approach :)

    Confirmed map feature: CT's can push a button which fires the engines and engulfs the entire A-site in flames, killing any T's on the site

    ahaha button is in CT spawn and re usable: easy retake

    but more Seriously, you can imagine putting the same smoke that firing that type of engine causes.

    you have a one-time smoke feature for 2 or 3 seconds !

    This is true. Maybe it could be a rig where the engines are tested before the real launch? I'm sure they test them beforehand, but maybe check up on that fact

    I've seen a video of nasa testing a combustion engine... the flame went on a few meters, that could be cool to see in a map ;)
