I rebound these:
X: change fire mode
B: holster weapon
T: auto run
M4: PTT for discord
M5: PTT for game
`(back tick): map
Scroll wheel: zeroing

I'm not much better for it but everything feels more natural and in reach. gently caress reaching my thumb to M.

I like some people's idea to put lean on mouse thumb, but I'm too used to talking with my clicking hand. Game chat on M5 is for the extra pubbie in squads and I rarely reach for it, but sometimes use it if they're talking or one of the few survivors.

I mean what exactly is the hold up? I know next to nothing about video game development, but is optimization like the last thing you do during development?

I don't mean to be glib, but basically yes. UI usability and optimizations tend to come last, unless they're critical to a planned feature, because you want to take on the full breadth of the requirements at one time. If you try to over-optimize along the way, you waste time and inevitably undo your work with the next seemingly simple widget you have to rush.

That being said, this is supposedly a beta and not an alpha, despite it missing a bunch of v1.0 features, which is the traditional time for "hardening", but...kids these days...

Speaking of shotguns, an old arma bug seems to be in place where, if you have the 2-shot shotty, you can shoot the first shot, then reload, then quickly shoot three bullets instead of two. Easy to try on the gun island in loading.

I think the stats are broken. I played 5 duos last night and go 1-5 kills in all of them, and the tracker says I only played 4 and only got 1 kill combined

Same. Got two kills one game and it didn't give me credit for either. Can't tell if it uses different criteria for kill credit than the game. Also, with all games being unranked for a bit, I think the stats weren't getting updated on the trackers.

This usually means you have a psu not rated to support a full load from your graphics card, so it didn't sound that surprising to me, but if you have plenty of juice it is real strange. Power shortages are notorious for having ambiguous symptoms of it doesn't just force a component to drop entirely.

The problem with conditional or pseudo randomness, where you ensure a significant subset of a possibility space shows up in a sample, is a) you limit the potentially interesting extreme outcomes of true randomness, and b) by altering the selection space, it requires more computing power to determine each selection. Being able to decide each loot location's contents without knowing about others in proximity goes a long way to spawning the models before the round ends.

While what you say is obviously true about true randomness, the "pseudo" distinction in video games usually refers to a probability described with a flat number but is actually a different value depending on recent outcomes.

The mechanic I always think of is the crit or bash chance in dota. You might have 17% average chance to bash over a large enough sampling, but the first attempts are lower than that and each failed attempt increases your chances. Doesn't eliminate the chance of getting sequential bashes or first hit bash, but reduces it significantly.

In pubg it would mean having loot regions that fill slots with chances for an item dependent on previous local rng outcomes for that item.

Everyone starts with a crossbow with a single bolt

And you can't loot other people's bolts so you only get one insta gib chance and if you want it for the end you have to lug around an xbow...or maybe it doesn't work after two minutes.

Last thing about forcing a kar and a scope to spawn in pochinki turns it into a treasure hunt for the lot goblins and you'll never leave till you find it. It's unnecessary information that you're guaranteed any sort of loot except bullets for the guns that drop and way too many baseball hats.

God gave you lethal hands for a reason. Even this can be too much to wait for in school, and shotty is just fine to find you your first body.

To the other part of your question, you can leave if you think you can get away or you don't feel like assaulting an entrenched dude who's got you pegged, but most people would suggest clearing the vicinity before you expose yourself trying to move out.

Don't forget to hold right-click if you're ever hip firing, learn the parachute quick drop maneuver, bind zeroing to ctrl+mousewheel (I like map on tilde, firingmode on X), and if you're going to school there are some nifty window tricks you can pull on both floors.

WackyJacky taught me the 1:100 rule which is pretty sweet. With most guns you can lead a sprinting target one body-width for every 100m for good shots. AKM needs like 1.25 bodies once you get farther out, but the vss is more like 3:100.

I want to know how someone can play like that, like, on a fundamental level I don't understand it and I want to understand it. I keep my mouse at 3200 DPI and that's where it feels comfortable in both Windows and games.

You have to pick your mouse up more, which bothers people that don't play fpses or have heavy mouses, but you're trying to maximize your ability to quickly get to a small target zone. Dota's camera drag doesn't require you to pick your mouse up, which I think is genius and isn't in hots or lol for whatever reason. You have to be more precise with the higher sensitivity. Imagine shooting at a head that's 5 pixels wide and every centimeter you move the mouse is twice that. This is why you either miss or take too long to line up your shots with high dpi.

During skydiving, right before you hit the ground in your parachute, airspeed always slows to an excruciatingly slow rate. Is this just how the game works or is there anything that can be done to speed things up here?

Yeah this is to keep your legs from breaking. You have to do the same thing with a real chute. Everyone has to do it, so it's at least a shared experience.

I've had friends say they'd like the chance to dive straight into the ground or land harder and take falling damage, but it would suck if every game started with fewer people.

Kind of like how people who don't jump should just be carried off by the plane. Maybe their bodies packed into one of the crates. Would be alright if folks who didn't jump just fell to their death and got no points.
