/v/ - Video Games

>>14902856

Those guys never seemed so bad to me though, they at least weren't stupid enough to say that Uncharted is a fun "game".

>>14902856

They aren't wrong, obviously if you know what's coming up you will know you have to act, but that isn't the same as reacting to something you don't know that is coming.

I remember when Halo 3 was coming out and game journos as well as spastic children couldn't figure out that one of the weapons had to be charged to use it despite having a meter fill up in the center of the screen. That was probably the earliest moment I realized that people playing games are fucking retarded.

>>14902881

>he's fucking kicking at the pig cop

Did this retard run out of ammo?

>>14902886

Yes, he somehow managed to run out of ammo on the first level. Also, he obviously has no fucking idea how to use any of the powerups.

>>14902888

And these people want us to take them seriously when it comes to video games.

>standing in the broken toilet

lol

I don't think he knows how hitscan weapons work.

>>14902856

Reaction time is a thing and pretending that it isn't doesn't make you smart. It's also much longer than you think it is. In addition, you're ignoring the fact that you not only have to react to that something is there, but also identify what kind of threat it is and how to act. Let's also not forget that there are situations where a threat can be jumped over, but doing so makes you jump into another enemy, pit or to a worse path etc., meaning that you need to process the level coming up behind the enemy before you act.

But of course none of that matters because you can just show off how easy their example is to deal with when you already know what's there.

Someone post that webm about reaction times, I don't have it.

>>14902912

The weakness of his voice astounds me.

>>14902856

From a game design perspective they are right, though. SMW's camera is widely regarded as fantastic and it is because it was designed to avoid webm related. The game is still hard as balls despite that, and the fact that Mario isn't as fast as Sonic.

>>14902917

A reaction time of 200ms would but you in the 95% percentile in humanbenchmark.com. And that's just being asked to tap in a red square the moment it goes green. As you said, identifying the threat and possible gotchas could make this reaction time much longer. The guy who reacts at exactly 200 ms either has twitchy fingers, or is extremely lucky, or has superhuman reaction times, or already knew that obstacle was there. It's just shit game design.

Why was my post deleted?

https://www.humanbenchmark.com/tests/reactiontime

Post reflexes, faggot.

>>14902944

What's worse is that it's so fucking easy for them to sway normalfags to their side. Sometimes I believe that normalfags are for some fucking reason afraid of people who are less social than them, because they always fall for media schemes created to garner attention and demonize people like that.

Think about it, remember the whole "Video games cause violence" thing? You could say that it was caused by Columbine and a reaction to that, but moral panics and the fear I'm talking about seem to be far older than that. The irony is that I have never heard about an avid video game player being a bully, but I did hear of them being bullied a lot, how it never occured to normalfags that it completely contradicts what the media was saying? Usually violent people take out their violence on other, and do not hide around in basements in fear of people. Same thing is happening now with the "gaming is making people sexist debacle", but even before that writing, movies, media were full of different examples of antagonists who were secluded from society and were constantly scheming evil plots to hurt the rest of the world.

Why the fuck are normalfags so afraid of people who mostly want to be left the fuck alone and allowed to play video games in peace?

>>14902967

My average is 310. Hows that?

>>14902966

Of course he fuckin is. I wonder what kinda shit he gets up to when he's not bitching about "ebil gunz in video games"

>>14902967

My average is 254, I should probably try and work on it.

>>14902972

They aren't afraid of us, but rather afraid of either becoming like us or not being let back into their circles if they don't find the lifestyle appealing. They've been raised on nothing but superficial pats on the back so of course the moment they go without it they go into withdrawal.

>>14902976

… not very good. That said, if you are on a phone, a shit browser, have a slow PC or an IPS panel, you can get much worse reaction times that you should. I had a reaction time of 340 ms on my phone and an average of 200 in my desktop, so go figure.

>>14902947

You don't react to things you have already memorized in a game, you just press buttons in a predetermined pattern. The prerec fags were talking about reaction time. The rejects who were playing sonic instead of SMB when they were kids already know when to jump, but that doesn't make the game any good.

>>14902967

265

>>14902967

>259 ms

I couldn't get less than 0.3 when I was using my laptop, this test is pretty hardware dependent.

>>14902942

The thing is SMW's transition from one action to another is more slower than Sonic's. With Mario it takes an additional few frames for Mario to jump to a proper height to attack the enemy, so you had to plan ahead. But because of Sonic's speed, he needed to react instantly. In one frame, Sonic can instantly curl up exactly at the moment when you press a button. Not to mention that you don't just jump but can roll or whatever as long as you're in a ball. The problem with Previously Recorded was that they clearly didn't even try to roll into a ball. If they reacted just when the enemy is in the screen at full view, Sonic would've hit the enemy already. It's understandable if it's the first time playing, but I'm guessing they would have been playing the game more than once. And the whole "get hit and you have to start over your speed slowly" is bogus. You could at least go back to a sprint when you jump forward from a standstill.

>>14902967

290 on my laptop from resting. I imagine after a good gaming session, our reactions should be a little faster.

>>14902967

>>14902984

Tried again. 271, somewhat better, I guess.

>>14903009

>they could move the camera right

Not when he's in a normal sprint or platforming. I think you're talking about how they did it with Yoshi's Island. And to be honest, I really hated how they did the camera, because when Yoshi starts running, the camera pulls back to show what's up ahead. That's good until you want to jump back to get a coin, and then the camera immediately pivots from right to left. And when you get to the platforming sections sometimes the camera keeps pivoting left and right and it becomes nauseating and would be a whole lot worse with Sonic's speed.

>>14902981

Anon, I think it's more than that. There are horror themes that are based off of asocial people, there have been moral panics concerning almost every hobby that makes you interact with normalfags less.

Remember how DnD players were thought of as satan worshippers while just meeting in basement from time to time and keeping to themselves?

And have you ever heard anything from a woman who sees someone who isn't that social? Females always say that such people make them afraid, I have heard this from females themselves and from people who talked to females more than I do. It's fucking bizzare.

>>14903023

It isn't fear because it isn't consistent. Notice how they feign being afraid while also belittling and ridiculing us. That's not them being scared, that's them being a bunch of obsessive cunts seething with anger over not having the leverage to influence us, much like a psychotic bitch seeing her ex with a new man.

>>14902856

They aren't even game journalists. You back to your 'tism shed drawing Sonic OC.

>>14903031

>You back to your 'tism shed

I don't listen to cavemen, or god forbid, a nigger.

>>14903039

I can attest to toddlers beating Sonic. I beat Sonic 1, 2 and 3 with my childhood friend at the age of 4.

Kid Gunstar Heroes was one of our sweetest victories though, I loved that boardgame boss.

>>14903039

Why would I waste my time playing a shit game that causes autism?

>>14903039

I beat it on the first night I got it, me and two mates played life for life late into the night passing the controller around.

Good times... Doesn't change the fact it has some bad design choices especially the pipe maze at the end that isn't skill based at all and just needs to be memorized.

>>14902967

I'm using a touchpad and I got 249

>>14902879

I'm sure that's a great anecdote to other underage casuals

>>14903029

Don't people act out against things that they fear subconciously though? And it's not like they do that while ridiculing us either. I had examples of females saying that while not interacting with the person or even acting nice to them. Even if you're right, this seething hatred is even more bizzare because we rarely want to influence others and generaly just want to be able to live our lives ourselves.

>>14903065

Nobody is taking the bait, by the way.

>>14903014

The testing metodology should be as:

>Load test

>Start it

>Click once

>Okay, you know what to expect now. That was the "tutorial". As simple as thr test is, your first try will always be worse

>Get on the most powerful PC you have

>JUST open up either Chrome/Chromium or Firefox. Anything else will be shit

>Close all tabs

>Close all other programs (Round Robin can be a bitch)

>If you can, use a TN panel

>If you can, use a PS/2 mouse, otherwise an USB mouse. Never a wireless mouse.

>Perform the test

>This is your untrained score

>Execute test two or three times more

>This is your "trained" score

My first test (after I got bamboozled at the phone one) was 208ms even though my mother distracted me during one of the tests and I clicked 30ms later than average according to the all tests overview. Keep in mind that while the percentile is correct, the saved score is always three or four points higher than your real average, for whatever dumb reason. Maybe it averages all of your scores, I dunno. Your actual score is the score that appears at the end of the test or the top of your screen, so that would make my 208ms actually 205, more or less. My third try gave me an average of 195ms, so conditioning definitely plays a role.

According to the website, the human median (keep in mind it's all faggots like us and bots trying to dickwave their absurdly high reaction times, compared to the human average) is 215ms. According to a friend of mine, the text was outdated and actual data points to 240.

>>14903067

Women are control freaks.

>>14903067

>we rarely want to influence others and generaly just want to be able to live our lives ourselves.

Their biggest fear is that changing.

>>14903077

We are talking about reaction times as they apply to vidya, no one plays vidya under those conditions.

>>14902967

>256

>top 68 percentile

I feel bad.

>>14903090

Thinking about people too fucking retarded to navigate a Mario 64 level but being allowed to own a car legitimately scares me.

>>14903091

Like a few anons said, there's a plethora of factors, ranging from hardware, to practice, your current condition, etc., that can influence the score.

>>14903096

Why do you think there's so many car accidents to begin with?

>>14903091

>Average is over 300

Consider yourself lucky.

>>14903086

Assuming you are using original hardware, latency is pretty tight. With your computer, you have multiple processes eating up your CPU time, a browser running an asynchronous sleep-based VM running a JIT VM, a shitty LED panel with higher reaction times than a CRT, shitty non-interrupt based mouses (using USB, that is), an OS minding its oen business and a myriad of other things that a Sega Genesis does not have.

>>14903086

>We are talking about reaction times as they apply to vidya, no one plays vidya under those conditions.

Then how the fuck do i load this test up on my Sega Genesis so it can be accurate.

>>14902979

You can't improve your reaction speed, it's purely genetic. The only difference you can make is menial.

>>14903090

>t. Plato, explaining why he and his niggas should be kings of everywhere and everyone else is stupid as shit

>>14902944

>leftists

Yeah because no one on the right has ever gone after video games or gamers. Your tribalism is childish and lacking in historical context.

>>14902972

This anon gets it. The right thinks video games make people violent. The left thinks video games make people sexist and racist. Both use the exact same arguments for this and both are completely wrong.

>>14903112

Casuals playing games is what leads to the slow erosion of quality over time, which we are smack dab in the middle of now. Because when a casual goes to gamestop to buy a game, he is just looking for whatever he';s been told is good, or a familiar name. That's it. Quality, improvement within a franchise, creativity, all these are not even considered. Just "Youtuber told me this is good!" or "I remember Fallout!"

>>14903134

>>14903134

>you think everyone that can afford to get into drag racing just so happens to have great reaction times?

Yes, until I am proven wrong.

>>14903146

What form of evidence would you accept?

While this video pertains to large limb movements the same can be trained in figures, ask any guitarist.

>>14902967

250 but i could easily get more. This test is hardware dependent.

Also this is cheeseable, since clicking too fast has no punishment, so you can guess-click spam

>>14903142

>Your tribalism is childish and lacking in historical context.

OY VEEYYYYYYY

>>14903142

>Casuals playing games is what leads to the slow erosion of quality over time, which we are smack dab in the middle of now.

Quality, improvement within a franchise, creativity, all these are not even considered. Just "Youtuber told me this is good!" or "I remember Fallout!"

Casual gaming used to be an entirely different beast than it was now. What made it change was the advancements in technology, specifically the rise of the iPhone, F2P gambling apps, and CoD and the trend of multiplayer being designed around making the average fool feel skilled. Virtually overnight, casual gaming goes from Tetris and bejeweled to garbage.

>>14902967

So I just re-did it on the PC and got 200. yeah. hardware matters, not to mention latency.

>>14902942

>SMW

>hard as balls

The almost complete lack of momentum, ability to spinjump on spikes, boos, and other enemies that would otherwise do damage, the fact that the cape is the single worst-designed power-up in all of 2D platformers and makes every level completely trivial, etc. make SMW by far the easiest 2D Mario game, and are also why it's the worst one.

Not fully connected to journalism, but in the theme of casuals fucking shit up.

>>14903208

1) >ostracised

That is because the left controls the media, no one is denying that.

2) >censored

Depends, what was the last game to get censored by the government in the US? All I see is self censoring to avoid bad press because of 1.

3) >casualised

That is just the free market appealing to the largest possible audience and has nothing to do with politics.

>>14903196

Thanks anon I actually learnt something, while the religious right spent a lot of time bitching about vidya no laws actually changed until the 103rd congress brought in the ratings system under a Democrat majority (with both sides supporting the bill).

>>14903162

>What form of evidence would you accept?

Factual scientific evidence.

>>14903198

That's because anything short of communism is slowly being pushed out of the left, and you know it's fucking bad when obvious left learning retards like Sargon are considered right winged by leftists.

>>14903198

>I'm this! Agree with me!

Maybe facebook is more your speed

>>14903005

There's very little you can do to improve your base reaction speed. Practice can only fine tune what you have, it can't give you faster impulses. Your best gains come from increasing your recognition-response, the time it takes to figure out what you are seeing is and what the appropriate response to it will be. The time it takes to actually see it, process that you've seen ANYTHING, and tell your hand to do something is more or less fixed and will only ever get worse with age.

>>14903230

>Nothing to do with politics

Pretty common, really. The current generation even had to invent the term "Nintendo hard" because "game" is completely divorced from "challenge" in the world they live in.

>>14903260

I actually support that idea, now before you reply hear me out. If there was a casual mode then there would be no need to casualize the game as a whole allowing for more complex skill based gameplay without alienating the profitable casual market.

but this would never happen due to increased production costs

>>14903275

> "Nintendo hard"

I still can't believe that's a thing.

Also on the topic of faggots worse than DSP, there's a ton of them. Some like vid related also get really, really mad if you even so much as imply they're bad at the game, while DSP doesn't seem to care all that much.

>>14903182

Those technological advancements are what created casual gaming. There was no such thing back in the day. The closest you got was stuff like The Sims and that wasn't anywhere near as bad as contemporary casual gaming. Not to mention that before the phone games and facebook games, gaming wasn't cool. Only nerds were gamers past the age of like 10. And nerds used to be uncool as fuck. Not that they're really cool now, but the idea of pretending to be a nerd for some reason is.

>>14903295

I was never that good at games, really poor reflexes and sometimes playing really fast games gives me a headache, almost like a learning disability since I'm not so bad in other areas in life. I'm not so bad at something turned based but playing something like Dark Souls is a nightmare.

If you ever looked at top 10, mind this, ALL of them are just guessed time or a script.

The easiest way to get score close to 100ms is by constantly clicking like an idiot during the time green screen presumably would appear, your amount of tries does not reset when you fail to click on a green screen.

>>14903824

Make a script, probably in autohotkey, so that mouse down sends mouse up and mouseup sends mouse down.

>>14903204

whinging beta loser vs guy actually having fun.webm

Here's how this works for those of you who think you can actually improve your reactions (you can't). There's a difference between your "conscious" reaction speed and your automatic reaction speed. The trick with practice is to make reactions as close to automatic as possible. You CAN NOT increase your automatic reactions through practice. You might have a little more luck with diet and exercise and maybe drugs, but playing computer games 20 hours a day will not help.

The best way to see the difference between your conscious reaction and your automatic reaction is to use a startle test. Anything that can make you jump or react before you have time to think about that reaction must be based on your automatic reflex. The difference between this time and your normal reaction speed is the absolute maximum you can expect to improve.

I don't know where the data on that graph comes from, but considering very few people can test under 200ms on things like human benchmark, I have to assume they are measuring something else.

actually you know what this makes perfect sense because girls have zero spatial recognition facilities, this scenario of just not understanding how portals work and eventually reacting in anger and eventually helplessness happened nearly exactly to this one girl in college, and it was just as painful to watch without straight-up giving away the answer to that stupid cow

>>14902856

These guys are huge PC gamers right? Explains a lot.

>>14903928

It's funny how they always keep digging their own graves.

>>14903928

Reminder this guy managed to casualise Mass Effect series

>>14902967

kept getting 300s then I just adjusted my finger to firmly hold the mouse button now I'm scoring low 200s consistently

You can literally just change your technique of clicking and get better scores broken test since in gaming you are consistently bouncing between things going on except pressing the button when it turns green.

>>14903875

you shouldn't game the system for results though because I've pointed out that the more you take the test the better scores you can get

The first time I did it I just scored around 300s then the second time I took it I scored consistent low 200s and even some under 200.

The more and more I play it eventually I'll probably just be able to consistently score 200 or even lower.

>>14904020

Isn't that the point? You want to find how good your reaction times can be reasonably consistently, so you improve as much as you can and take your best set, as long as your best set is something you can repeat and not an outlier.

>>14904039

not really since when you are actively playing games you aren't waiting for a green light to appear to shoot someone. just because you can press the button when it turns green doesn't mean you can do a 180 degree swerve on someone and then imagine exactly where they are standing in an FPS game and kill them before they kill you. Reaction time can't simulate that because it involves more than just "reacting" also sometimes your "reaction time" backfires on you and you react to things that don't even matter(this happens alot if you play FPS games sometimes innocuous things will set off your quick reactions in a direction that's totally irrelevant and it gets you killed)

>>14903904

yea I think the best average I got was around 190 or so but I took the test like 5 times so……

this test is shitty because it just guages how fast you can click goes into nothing else besides that also we don't know about the hardware/monitor lag kind of shit going on here.

>>14903478

>his initial complaint in the second video is sort of legit

No, it isn't. The door at 10 seconds is where you come out of, with the path forward clearly implied through the layout. To make this seem misleading, he walked to the far side of the sign and looked back at the starting area.

>>14903904

also maybe if you have a mouse that's easier to click obviously you will probably shave off a good 30 ms on your score because just the action of pushing a harder mouse button down will artificially reduce your time.

Most of my scores though average out around the low 200s with the rare high 100 average occasionally. Now I've taken it like 20 times and I can't replicate that high 100 average I guess I was just doing better when I got that average but still I feel like if I had a better monitor and a better mouse I could shave off some more miliseconds here.

>>14902967

204, not bad for someone with literal brain damage.

>>14904097

I doubt brain damage would reduce your reaction time probably depends on the type since the people with the best reaction time in the world(pro boxers) all have brain damage.

>>14903954

The difference is if I started writing for a feminist site I would be fired for trying to destroy the thing I was writing about, that doesn't happen with vidya.

>>14904106

Nah, look at the reaction times top fuel drag racers get.

>>14904056

The test is about finding what your minimum is. You still have to practice in order to be able to use your minimum. Just whatever you can do on the test cold doesn't really tell you anything, your best possible test results tell you what you can aim for in a game.

>>14904166

Do drag racers even use reaction time? They know exactly what they will be doing in advance and if anything goes wrong they are pretty much fucked.

>>14904171

Because milliseconds matter the reaction time they get on the green light can decide races if they both get a clean run.

>>14904171

they essentially do exactly what we are doing with this test by pressing the button when the light turns green except drag racing is not randomized and the green light goes off at the same time every single fucking time

Different from boxing in which a boxer can change his rhythm to force you to react to a different "beat" at different intervals of offensive rhythm so these people actually have better reaction times because not only are they "reacting" to something but they are doing active decision making whilst reacting at the same time as opposed to pressing a button.

>>14903255

The best part of that fiasco was that there is a channel where some guy plays games with his brother who has down syndrome, and he's able to beat it faster than her without issue. In fact he deliberately goofs around with the portals for a while before going through and solving the room because he feels like it.

>>14903479

>>14904209

That's Forever Pandering, today more commonly known as the furfag Ken Ashcorp. He deleted his channel years ago because even he probably got annoyed by his own gimmick that was earning him a shitload of subscribers.

>>14902856

Reminder that modern displays introducing multiple frames of input lag make it harder to play than you remember. CRTs having zero latency made playing Sonic quickly a non-issue.

>>14902912

Reminds me of this.

>>14903281

The funniest part about this though is he is technically correct. Those are bad UI design calls.

>>14902856

It's almost like the way rings work is supposed to compensate for the need to react quickly. If you play with the mentality that "sonic is fast game that lets you go fast" and you can't react quick enough to maintain that type of playstyle, then you're the one at fault.

>>14903295

When he was first starting out, he said his fursona was male because of what degenerates were doing as if it fucking mattered, and in the past few years he's bought into libtard talking points like most Tumblrfucks do. I can't quite remember exactly what garbage he started spewing, but you could probably look at his Twitter page and find something within five minutes.

>>14903128

>All video games are stupid, of course.

Dunno if it's been posted, but this review of hotdogs horseshoes and hand grenades. You had a typical Polygon soyboy reviewing it crying about gun control.

It's the tenth reply, nigger. Look through the thread if you want to see what's been posted.

>>14902881

The sad truth about this man playing is that duke's movement speed is actually too fast for his brain to process. You can actively see him struggle to realize where exactly he is standing when he's running around.

>>14904425

The thing that pisses me off the most though is if you see that video, they do not use the fucking roll/spin dash AT ALL. Those two retards are too busy discussing how putting little animals into robots just wouldn't work out in the real world and bitching about SEGA's marking to figure out the important parts of the game.

>>14902967

I got 240

>>14904301

>CRTs made playing Sonic quickly a non-issue.

Horse shit. You still need to memorise the level designs like an autistic child or you will get your shit handed to you for going fast. No CRT in the world will save you.

>>14904311

Everytime it looks like they're kidding but no, they are really bad at video games because it was never their thing. They hate that medium, they wish they had a better job, something more intellectual.

>>14903928

>>14903960

This. People remember his Cuphead controversy but few know about him making a shitty review of Mass Effect 1 that lead Bioware to casualise the gameplay, the talent points and the inventory system.

All journalists are shit. And child rapists. Whenever some company is shilled by journos, that company must be blacklisted and their products never bought.

>>14905669

90ms

>>14903625

>90% of the world has reaction time that makes the mean of 215ms

>only 10% of people can breach this

I don't know if that's true, what I'm saying that's how statistics can work. it just means the vast, vast majority of people hover around 215, with only truly special cases deviating far from that (far in a realm like reaction time could be a difference of 5 ms). an average reaction time of 212-214ms landing you in the top 10% isn't unbelievable.

>>14902967

267 Average

>>14902856

What are they trying to say, that sonic should be at the complete left side of the screen? That it's too fast? The only reason the fast aspect is so focused on was the huge marketing campaign by marketers who didn't understand the games in the first place and wanted to sell the genesis. AIDSMoby and Rich need to stop pretending they understand vidya and go back to leeching off Mike.

>>14905679

>average reaction time is quarter of a second

>250 ms

>90ms, less than a tenth of a second

>not even trained athletes average less than 200 ms

>a 2011 study of olympic runners found that average male reaction time of 166 ms and average female time of 189 ms, with the top end of males reaching 109, and top end of females reaching 121.

>average for desk potatoes is 90 ms

nah.

>>14905744

Anybody ever test goalies?

>>14903255

Videos like this are the reason why Valve found out (with Portal 1) that had to teach players that you can enter/exit any portal regardless of it's colour.

>>14904280

On a similar note there was a guy who got YouTube of his 12 year sister who didn't like video games to go through the first two levels. She still figured them out faster than iJustine. (Starts at 2:30, this is the only remaining video of this playthrough, sadly).

>>14905881

>he doesn't say nigger while getting pissed at a game

it's honestly one of the most relieving words when you say it in anger.

To answer mr tongs

Socialism has ben tried and failed

Bitcoin hasn't failed yet, yet.

>>14905384

That makes an interesting point. What the hell where they doing before video games, since they obviously didn't dedicate any time to the hobby, what where they filling their free time with that ended up landing them in a job they hate so/ what job where they reaching for in the first place.

>>14905569

>The company as a whole hates its own existence.

I don't know whats dumber, the fact that they are attempting that "x was never that good" argument that stinks of postmodernism or the fact they actually released it for a press release.

>"To a slightly bemused PR person."

So whoever was writing this on some level already knew it shouldn't be writing it. Yet still submitted it. Did it want a pity party? The argument made could have just as well be used for any media, movie, book, ect.

>>14902967

You know humans react faster to audio than to visuals, right? I don't have particularly good reaction times and get about 240ms on visuals but 180ms on audio

Not like it requires a huge jump in thinking here. Chances are that these people wanted to get into journalism, and might have some topic in mind, but they weren't quite good enough to get a position in an industry that they care about. As they need work to get money, and they have their one main skill, so they get a job wherever they can get paid. Video games journalism is still journalism, so as long as they get paid, they're at least living, even if they aren't at their dream job.

>>14906014

Jesus christ, what do these people think journalism is? Complaining on twitter?

>>14906011

I'm just saying it's not a good representation of actual human reaction times i.e one guy with a 60 Hz monitor, one of the listed mouse models, with whatever browser add-ons, browser process on low priority is going to have a higher result than someone with a 144 Hz monitor, without doing anything to a browser, etc.

>>14906021

Some local journos have been asking me where I get my info, even the "pros" have forgotten how to comb the internet in the sesrch of information, they just wait to get it spoonfed by reuters or equivalents.

>>14905881

I hate when commie faggots think that anyone wants their ideology. Every single fucking instance of socialism being put into place has shown that these faggots don't want to stop a small amount of people who control all the currency and profit off that control unfairly, but rather that they want to be that small amount of people. They don't care that the problem is that shitty people are in control, they care that they aren't the people with the ability to abuse their power.

>>14906014

In my experience, most journalists, especially in tech and business related fields, wanted to become fiction writers and took media jobs because fiction does not pay.

>>14905900

The orange portals tutorial was the box puzzle at the start, which she had absolutely no trouble with. In the span of two minutes she not only forgot a mechanic she'd been using continuously through the whole game, but (and this is the important part) stubbornly refused to even attempt to reason her way through the puzzle, and actually became angry when she realized that the game expected some level of critical thinking.

>>14906087

The latencies listed are relative. So the click latency of the KTEC mouse is the latency of the SteelSeries one subtracted by 0.8. Positive values is additional latency.

>>14906071

How the fuck does a mouse have negative latency?

>>14906100

so what you're saying is who ever compiled that list has a boner for steel series, but it actually has .8 ms more latency than the best mouse, the ktec ktm-9500.

>>14906103

Sheiit, so you aren't using 4D gaymen mouse which lets you noscope opponents prior to their death?

Better upgrade that equipment anon.

>>14906118

>so what you're saying is who ever compiled that list has a boner for steel series, but it actually has .8 ms more latency than the best mouse, the ktec ktm-9500.

It was probably the first mouse tested and the rest came after.

>>14905972

>250 on image

>250 on audio

>try spacebar instead of mouse

>190 on audio

Nice latency.

Fuck the 5 second wait before the audio plays though.

>>14906206

it doesn't register until you let go of the click. Hold it down during the orange screen and report back. I bet you'll get it down to 180

>>14906249

I went down to 220, not sure if because of the mouse, the 10 fucking seconds it took for the sound to play, or both.

>>14906411

>pressing a button 5 times to a prompt

>anything but easy

maybe this is why AAA loves its QTEs

it's meant to test reflexes, silly. If you're not comatose, that's like reading an eye chart if you're not blind.

>>14906139

You can't have a negative absolute latency since that's impossible, but you can have a negative relative latency to a reference latency (which is a positive value).
