I'm not so interested in the money side of things because I don't think making money should be anyone's ambition when it comes to playing a videogame, even the professionals. Streamers are understandble because they are entertainners though.

Mostly interested in the recognition side of things, like its very easy to underatand that this is sort of shit https://youtu.be/rr3QXuldX4Y?si=csGqjcCwNMk9mtRu is difficult, and its recgonised by the fact that there is money associated with it. The amount of money doesn't really matter

I think one of my main purposes of this thread is to see if developers have moved away from making the games easier. The point of competitive gaming as we all know is for them to be difficult, but they are actually most of the time incredibly dumbed down. I was just wondering if they made something that could actually be taken seriously with eSports in mind.

Maybe Fortnite is just the best game? Being a third person shooter is a bit strange, but maybe this is the only one that is impressive, with high skill, recognition/money and not boring?

Personally I think CS looks really boring. My friend took me to one of the tournaments in London a few years back, and it was dreadful. Lol

Valorant looks like same shite but it looks even easier. Idk if thats actually the case with Valorant but I'm just assuming because it has the abilities.

I think one of the major factors as to why I think those games are boring is that its kind of the same shite every time. If I'm watching a player with their name covered, I could never tell the difference although if I'm watching MGE Mike or Banny, I'd know without the names.

CS has always had that recognition and high skill ceiling but it's just plain boring. Maybe if I gave it more of a shot, I'd enjoy it, but I never mustered the will.

Interested in TF2 playerbase opinion on the current competitive gaming scene as a whole. I think the last time I understood it, its either you are basically playing CS GO or playing some awful game that has money and recognition associated with it. Is it still like that?

Are there games nowadays that are recognised as well as being enjoyable with a high skill ceiling?

Congrats Chris

Every 10 mins of so my FPS just halves and the only way to fix it is hud_reload_scheme

what is going on? Been lioke this for 4 year Lol

It's a gaming forum.

Also a lot of people who are playing videogames have extermist views/are racist/homophobic etc. It is better to derail it than give those kinds of people a platform to spew their shite.

Lets not joke about this one. Lol.

Yeah I think that's it.

I have to wait into this OLED mumbo jumbo -__-

From today's research, I learned that there are even some 240hz better than 360hz and 500hz even if you reach that FPS, so maybe that's why you feel that way Funky. Sort of depends on what monitor you are having and then its about the whole package of that monitor

For example, some monitors have features like Dyac or better response time. I haven't finished learning all about it, but I think that the 240hz ones are actually better than some of the 500hz ones.

I think from what I've seen, the newer 240hz OLED panels (they are costing 1k) are even beating the 360hz benq for example

Looking for a temp solution. Picking between the Viewsonic 240hz and the Alienware 500hz

Ordered and even induldged in a new mouse. Thank you for your ideas

Guys I think I know which one I'll get... but its confidential info...

Hi

Recently been upgrading different parts of my set up for fun because I'm rarely home to enjoy my PC nowadays so I like to spice it up every time I get a chance.

Had this mousepad Steelseries QCK heavy since I was like 12 playing MGE on low spec laptop on grandma's carpet and I'd like to upgrade it. I only got the QCK heavy because it was thick enough to not really feel the carpet so much, and at the time, I think it was sort of considered the go-to mousepad.

Are there better options in 2023? Anything that is a direct upgrade? What do you use? How do you find it?

Bonus: Share your mouse if you feeling a little risqué... if u consent to this information being leaked... if ur willing to share... (not really asking this one - its just an opportunity to be vulnerable for those who dare)
