I'm the quick and the deadly
I'm sure tf2 will still have a community after Overwatch is out, it's a f2p game and there are always kids/people who can't afford to spend money on new games.

I just think it's funny that there are people that are mad that their favorite game now has a competitor, instead of being happy that there's now a new game that is similar to the one they love.

Carly shook her glass, willing the ice to melt. "You still haven't told me what the mission is."

She leaned forward. "We are going to assassinate the bad men of Hollywood."


TF2 never interested me all that much but I'm hooked on Overwatch and the reason is that OW is maximum bae.

yes but it is imperceptible to the human eye much liek the difference between 30 and 60 fps

Motion caps around 30, but flicker goes up to 75.

Back in the heyday of PC+CRTs, I was "85MHz or bust" gamer :getin:



But that didn't stop me from enjoying a game I thought was good. :shobon:

yeah like, sure 60 fps looks better than 30 but the frame rate is pretty low on the big list of things that determine whether i enjoy a game

I have an acquaintance who has some kind of moral opposition to playing any game that he could run on his previous non prohibitively expensive PC. If the game isn't pushing the tech envelope it's a waste of time for him to play it.

If it was easy to get 60 fps on every game without sacrificing other aspects of the games or bloating the budget, we would already have it.

How is everyone doing today?

My fiancee took us out to a nice tiny little restaurant at our mall where she had stromboli and I had a calzone and it was good!

She only ate half of her stromboli tho because she got full on the first half, and then I accidentally left the other half at gamestop because I accidentally knocked over one of their empty xbone boxes they had and when I set the food down to fix the box, I never picked it back up :( I feel bad about that. She says she isn't mad and doesn't care but I still feel bad since she paid money for that food and because of me she can't eat the rest of it.


I think I will maybe play a game, though idk what game, might try to fiddle with marvel heroes some more, see if I can't find some settings where it runs okay enough to play

I hope everyone else had a good day today!

There is seriously an ecig place on every block here now, I would think I'd have found at least one with a fun name but there's poo poo all

Plus every drug store and gas station sells the poo poo too, and there's all the online stores, I can't imagine how all these local ecig shops stay in business

It's partly a quality and variety thing. Like getting booze at the grocer versus an actual liquor store. And partly because most of those places don't sell juice.
I had a coworker who had a side business selling juice and tanks for vapes. Made pretty good money before he got off probation and went through his 5 thousand dollar head stash of coke in one weekend.
