The way Nora is portrayed doesn't feel like the same character as was seen ingame or in the promotional videos

When you see a duo of singularity players being put against a three day account i am starting to understand why player retention is an issue

Is having a shorter queue time really worth this? Can't be that much of an issue if it takes less than 20 seconds to find a match

Both pretty much admitted they can't touch ranked because the rampant win trading in higher ELO prevents fair matches

Honestly i dont think any attempt at increasing player retention will actually work as long as this is normal

Not upset at them at all. They have no less right to play demo than i do

Every match just feels like Koko/Kanami holding the entire match hostage until either of them dies and the rest of the team just have to hide in a corner until either wins the duel

I don't get why Port Euler and Cosmite has to go but this gets to stay

I know a lot of high of great players whose rank are lower than what their skills shows and the consensus seems to be that the number of hours it takes to get back to their career high every season simply isn't worth the amount of hours when the game just rips it away from them anyways

Kind of sucks because it also means that the people who do belong to the lower ranks just ends up facing opponents that are borderline impossible for them to 1v1

When looking at a replay how do you tell the difference between a Mercy succeeding a rez because she's good at it vs. a Mercy succeeding a rez because she got lucky that the other team didn't killed or CC'ed her?

I often ask myself that question when looking at my own replays. I dont know if i am doing it right or if it's just a habit that won't work once i try to climb

At launch i remember constantly hearing about Top 500 players being thrown against average Gold players and how unfun it was to play against

Do you ever feel like a lot of players in Gold aren't actually interested in ranking up? They just dont wanna play Rivals without hero bans.

Back when hero bans were introduced from Plat into Gold it feels like a lot of people just stopped trying so hard. Like not like they were actively throwing or griefing their team but you could kind of tell they weren't bothered to change their playstyle if something didn't worked

Similarly if hero bans were introduced in all ranks, far more people would probably be content with staying in Bronze and Silver

Seeing many of the people who live there and how their behavior is treated by the people working there it often feels like all it does it to enable the worst parts of their personality

Like there is a guy in his late 20's who constantly goes up to people to tell them how much he hates women and Jewish people or to show them videos of gore he find online but he makes sure to only talk like that to the people working there since they can't ostracize or otherwise respond in kind to him which ends up with them just treating it like a perfectly normal and acceptable topic.

Whenever he interacts with anyone outside the assisted living he always makes sure to act like a typical, apolitical centrist so it's not like he have no idea what he is doing

Idk maybe i just don't much about autism pedagogy but this just feels inane

Or at the very least wait until the folks from launch have all gotten their units

There is no way Valve is gonna ship out units while people from launch are still missing theirs

So basically i'm trying to find some proper headphones for competitive hero shooter games (and the occasional CS Source and arena shooters) and listening to FLAC music. So far i have whittled my choices down to the below:

Sennheiser HD 490 Pro

Beyerdynamic DT 900 PRO X

Beyerdynamic DT 700 PRO X

Initially i settled on DT 700 but i've heard both HD 490 and DT 900 have significant wider soundstage and depth perception so i've started to doubt if i made the right purchase and i'm anxious if picking the closed back headphones were truly worth the trade off. It won't arrive for some time so i more than enough time to consider the purchase and return it

Budget - Just trying to choose between the above headphones. Otherwise i'll say 500 USD is really my upper limit

Source/Amp - Don't have one. Just plugging them into the front of the PC

How the gear will be used - Just home use. PC can be noisy during load (30 dBA – 44 dBA) but i also still have options left to remedy the issue so not an entirely lost cause

Preferred tonal balance -  Just balanced i guess.

Music - Darkwave, symphonic metal, gothic metal, hard trance, progressive trance, heavy rock, electronic rock, alternative metal, nu metal, J-pop, eurodance

Past gear experience - Have a pair of Sennheiser HD 650 but they broke so long time ago i kind of forgot what they were like

I remember when the OG came out and nobody back then complained about it not working on their PS3? It was just treated as a given

Now when looking online so many people are acting as if it being a PC gamepad is some sort of flaw of dealbreaker

This is based on the same SteamDB data that applied to the Steam Controller release. I expect it will stay the same for the Steam Frame

If your country is not on the list, now would be a good time to find an alternative so you are not stuck relying on scalpers

I added the note about Great Britain since a lot of people outside of it tends to conflate it with the United Kingdom as a whole

This is based on the same list that applied to the Steam Controller. I expect it will stay the same for the Steam Machine
