  1. Most games that come out these days don't allow for dedicated servers. So not being able to spin up dedicated servers on newer games hurts since a lot of people don't even play CS:S or G-,Mod anymore except for maybe once a month. Forums for communities were all the rage in the 2005-2015 era, but most people now opt to use group finders on the official game discords. Back pre-discord, forum communities were pretty much how you found like minded people to play with and talk on teamspeak/ventrillo, but sadly that time has mostly passed. I don't think there's really anything you can do to have people flooding back in, we just have to accept that the ERA of online forum communities is pretty much dead and I'm impressed steam-gamers is still around. I give ya'll props and it's refreshing to visit every now and again.
  2. I've got the Quest 2 and probably won't get another VR headset until they are on the Quest 5 or something. It's cool for a few days then the novelty wears off. I'm gonna give the tech a bit of time to catch up so graphics feel more immersive and there's more funding for VR game studios. My wife loves it for VR chat though, she talks with her friends across the globe in her native language. gorilla tag is a pretty good workout though and the first time playing spiderman-like games makes your stomach drop
  3. Probably won't happen but I always want to play on a CSS zombie cade server with unlimited ammo and can never find a server to play on except ones that have weird prop spawns and are filled with bots
  4. We're back!

    I was just playing gungame on CSS the other day, will probably be playing this. Will the bots leave as players come in? I despise playing with a server full of bots
  5. New Graphics Card

    Nowdays, unless you enjoy putting together PC's or want to do some cool customization, it's almost always more time efficient to buy a prebuilt from a good reputable company. I think a year ago when I ran the prices, I was only saving around $200-$300 bucks building it myself compared to buying a prebuilt. I'm terrible at cable management, so I opted to pay for the convenience and nicely sorted cables. You can get a 3070 with 32gb DDR5 ram(which is overkill unless you love running 100 Chrome tabs like me), a i9 10900KF processor for around 2k nowadays. https://www.amazon.com/Gaming-3070-Core-12900KF-5-2Ghz/dp/B0B5HKXYQT/ref=sr_1_20?crid=2KW3ZWEFVGB9E&keywords=cpu+solutions+gaming+pc&qid=1672349391&sprefix=cpu+solutions+gaming+pc%2Caps%2C82&sr=8-20&ufe=app_do%3Aamzn1.fos.ac578592-0362-4e0a-958c-0f2dd61d30d4#customerReviews I've bought 2 PC's from the CPU solutions and have had a solid experience. My wife is still using the older one I had that had a 1060 in it. I had one problem with them due to the motherboard shorting out in the first year, but they replaced that for me at no charge since it was still under warranty. You get a 1 year warranty and can buy a + 2 year warranty plan if you just want to make sure. Their website is here: https://www.cpusolutions.com/store/pc/showsearchresults.asp?incSale=0&IDSale=0&ProdSort=&PageStyle=h&customfield=0&SearchValues=&exact=0&keyword=&priceFrom=1500&priceUntil=9999999&idCategory=183&IdSupplier=&withStock=&IDBrand=0&SKU=&order=3&SFID=&SFNAME=&SFVID=&SFVALUE=&SFCount= But I bought mine through amazon since I could use an amazon payment plan to pay it off over the next 12 months. Just search cpu solutions on Amazon The CPU comes packaged out to the brim with foam pads in the interior, really secure shipping from my point of view, just make sure to remove it before turning on. Also double check connections to make sure they're totally secure. Reviews on seller here: https://www.resellerratings.com/store/CPU_Solutions You can also get a 4080 for around the 3k price-point,https://www.cpusolutions.com/store/pc/Custom-RTX4080-Gaming-PC-Intel-Core-i7-12700K-12-Core-to-5-0GHz-1000GB-m-2-NVMe-SSD-32GB-DDR5-RAM-Windows-11-183p6798.htm but I'm happy with my 3080 TI as of now (which costed 2800 for the whole pre-built a year ago when 3080TI's were not able to be purchased due to shortages)
  6. @Caution Have you ever explained where your profile pic comes from? I remember back in the day I thought that was actually you, lol...
  7. All good things must come to an end. Thankful for the memories.
  8. damn dude I can't believe you're still kicking here, props to you for that.

     

    always remember that old man face, LOL

     

     

    1. Caution

      Caution

      Yeah man, living the dream lol

  9. i'll play but when's the tournament going to begin?
  10. Local music

    A track that I made:
  11. rain

    When you walk through the valley of death
  12. Just like the title says, What's one thing that you do that brings you joy? I think mine is listening to music.
  13. Forced behavior in general should not be something that is left up to the government unless it directly involves protecting someone's life or assets (i.e. why we have laws preventing us from killing each other), but making a law forcing you to stand up for a national anthem is a little ridiculous. At this point I think the football players are just doing it so their name is mentioned in the news.
  14. Replace racist slurs with 'towel'.
  15. Usually 5 minutes early or right on time.
