Quick Reminder that we may have two Wemby vs Jokic games this month, starting in 4 days

Jokic already joined his team a few days ago and should play the two friendly games.

We know for sure that Wemby will play the 2 world cup qualifier games later this month vs Slovenia and Sweden, but it's very likely that he'll also play the 2 friendly games before that vs Serbia.

So, if nothing goes wrong, we'll get a back to back Wemby vs Jokic. First game in Belgrade, Serbia the 20th, second game in Orléans, France the 23rd.

Gobert will also play, so I wonder what France will do; play 2 bigs, or rotate Gobert and Wemby. The Twolves vs nuggets playoff series might give some ideas to the French coaching staff.

Anyway, these will def be fun games to watch.

We know for sure that Wemby will play the 2 world cup qualifier games this august (27 vs Slovenia, and 30 vs Sweden), but it's very likely that he'll also play the 2 friendly games before that vs Serbia (20 and 23).

So that'll be 4 games in the last 2 weeks of august.

Question about QMK and Macros

In the QMK documentation it says :

"Using Macros In JSON Keymaps. You can define up to 32 macros in a keymap.json file, as used by Configurator, and qmk compile."

Is there a way to save the JSON file on my PC instead of the keyboard's memory ? And is it possible to save more than 32 macros per file ?

Kinda like what most proprietary softwares from other brands do ; when you record macros, it saves them locally on your PC and usually there's not limit. Then you can manage them through the software.

I'm asking because I have more than a hundred macros saved in a .xml file, that I was using on another keyboard. I'm fine converting it into a JSON file even if it takes time, but I'd like to know if it was possible to use those macros on my current keyboard (keychron C2 pro 8k) but without saving them in the internal memory.

Thanks

The BFR Titan needs a reload speed buff

Since the titan got nerfed to the ground and barely anyone uses it now, could we give it some love ?

Because right now it's just a worse KS23 ; slower TTK, less dmg per bullet, less rof, doesn't have the KS23 utility, etc.

The only thing the titan has over the KS23 is the headshot multiplier, which on paper is good cuz it rewards being accurate and aiming for the head consistently, but in reality it's borderline useless because it improve breakpoints by just 1 shot against Medium and Heavy, and ONLY IF YOU LAND ALL HEADSHOTS.

I'm fine with the damage nerf, I'm fine with the range nerf, I'm fine with the rof nerf... But c'mon a gun with only 5 bullets that takes 1s to reload per bullet is just not fun to use. It has such a poor uptime that you're literally ALWAYS reloading.

Add to this the fact that the gun's sight is misaligned with the center of the screen when reloading, and you end up with a gun that has poor damage, poor TTK, no utility, average range, and is always reloading which also means less accurate (unless you use a monitor crosshair, or crosshair overlay).

Oh and also winch, mesh and QM don't cancel animation anymore and that's a huge indirect nerf to the titan since you need to cock back the hammer after every shot. They should remove this honestly and make it shoot like the R357.

Is a 750W gold PSU enough for the 9070xt ?

I'm currently running an AM4 platform with a 5700x3d on a 750W Gold PSU.

I wanted to upgrade my GPU to a 9070XT, as on paper a 750W Gold PSU should be enough, but I heard the card had pretty high power spikes and is also quite energy inefficient compared to the non-XT 9070. I changed my PSU recently so I'd prefer not changing it again if possible.

Would you guys think it's fine for the 9070XT, or should I go for the 9070 instead to be safe?

Thanks

edit : the PSU is a Cooler Master MWE 750 Gold V2 80+ , it's not ATX 3.x though

Embark if you were going to ban crosshair overlays, it would've been nice to at least fix ADS

ADS has always been super inconsistent in The Finals, in terms of where the bullets go compared to where your gun is aiming at. It did improve a little when they reduced visual recoil, but that's still very bad, especially compared to other competitive fps.

The images I linked are, to me, the best examples of why banning crosshair overlays is a bad idea when our sight/reticle isn't always centered.

When you reload the titan, your bullets don't go where you're aiming, but rather they go up and left. To be more precise, it's not that they go up and left, but that our gun model is off the center in ADS during reload, as it's slightly down and right.

We have no way to know this without using a third party crosshair at the center of our screen.

The titan is just one example among many.

The R357 also suffers from this when firing at near max rof while ADS as you have no way of knowing EXACTLY where your bullets go, as the hits are misaligned with the reticle/sight at the time you fired. The pike has the same isue but worse when using any of the scopes. Same with the AKM which was supposed to have been fixed a while ago btw. Etc.

Honestly, all embark needs to do to fix this, without giving an """unfair""" advantage (as they call it) to anyone, would be to add an option in the settings that allow us to lock our crosshair when we ADS. And if not the whole crosshair, at least the center dot.

They banned crosshair overlays calling it "unfair advantage", yet literally all gaming monitors nowadays come with built-in crosshair. So now it's truly unfair since it became a feature locked behind hardware, when before anyone could use a 3rd party crosshair for free.

And if the reason they called it "unfair advantage" was because of console players, then why not just make it a feature and add it to the settings so everyone can use it ? It would literally take a single dev 10 mins max to add a setting to lock the center dot while ADS.

That's the least they could do if they don't want to fix the broken visual recoil and terrible bullet feedback while ADS.

Looking for particular type of keycaps

I'm looking for keycaps like those in the pictures I linked, but with the transparent part removed.

Basically, 'floating' low profile keycaps, but with the same height as OEM keycaps.

Do you know if this exist ? If yes, I would appreciate if you could share some links as I'm quite new to keyboard modding.

Thanks!

It is possible to put low profile keycaps on the Keychron C2 Pro 8K QMK ?

I'm currently looking a replacement to my deathstalker v2 that doesn't work anymore.

Basically I don't want to use a low profile keyboard with super short activation distance on the keys because it feels too "tactile", but I do want low profile keycaps.

I want floating, thin keycaps that have the same activation distance but are shorter, if that makes sense. (Cherry/GMK dimensions I believe?)

Is it possible to do this on the Keychron C2 Pro 8K QMK ? Cuz that's the keyboard I'm thinking of buying since it's wired, full size 100%, hotswappable, and supports QMK.

Also, if you have keycaps suggestions for what I want, please feel free to share!

Thanks.

Do you guys know a good Deathstalker v2 clone ?

I used a deathstalker v2 for years but unfortunately it stopped working after I spilled my morning coffee on it.

I went to a local shop and bought the keyboard that resembled it the most as a temporary replacement, which is a cheap mechanical keyboard probably from an ODM factory, but it ended up feeling so good to use that I'm now wondering if there aren't other similar clones that may be worth buying instead of getting another deathstalker. Especially if they're cheaper.

Do you guys have any clone to recommend me ?

I heard only razer has good optical switches, so either hall effect, or mechanical. Analog keys if possible for hall effect, and hotswappable switches for mechanical.

The only requirements are full size 100% and low profile keys. Not low profile as in 'super slim' like a laptop keyboard, but rather the floating thin keycaps like the deathstalker v2 (around 7mm I think?). Bonus point if it has NKRO.

Also I linked an image of the replacement I'm currently using. The base is a bit thicker than the deathstalker, but it doesn't bother me that much since the keys are so similar. So anything looking like this would work.

Honestly I'd have kept using it if it was of better quality, and only about the shape and keys, but as good as it feels to use it has serious rollover and ghosting issues. Tbf it was to be expected given how cheap it was, so that's why I'm looking for other, good quality clones.

Thanks!

I want to upgrade for a 1440p 24" monitor, but I have a question for those who own one

I've always used a 1080p 24" monitor for competitive games, but recently I heard about 1440p 24" monitors and got really interested in trying it. I've wanted to upgrade for a 1440p monitor for a while now, but never did because they're all 27" or more.

So before pulling the trigger and buying one randomly, I thought of asking for feedback here from ppl who own any of those monitors.

Out of the 4 available models I found, my final choice fell on two of them : TITAN ARMY P2510S PLUS, and MINIFIRE MFG25F6Q. I'm still open to feedback on the KOORUI G2421V and AOC Q24G4RE though.

Especially for the MFG25F6Q. I know that buying a new monitor is a panel lottery, but I've seen an usual amount of people complaining about brand new Minifire monitors having dead pixels.

Oh and also, while I can find the specs of those monitors online and what features can be enabled in the OSD, I was unable to find good info or pictures about their built-in crosshairs.

This might seems like a small detail, but recently I've been playing some games where built-in crosshairs are a huge QoL improvement. So, do they have good crosshairs ?

Or better, do they have a single dot crosshair ? Because that may very well be what pushes me to buy one over the others since they're so similar.

(and yes I know crosshair overlays exist, but they aren't compatible with all games. Sometimes they don't work because the overlay can't be put on top of the game window, other times they're blacklisted by anti cheats, etc.)

Thanks in advance to anyone answering

Somehow they managed to make the spear even worse than it was before the rework

It used to have a 7.5m lunge on every attacks, which honestly was the only good thing it had over the sledge ; range.

Now the lunge is more like a mini dash like the other melees which feels very clunky, it procs only if you have stamina, and got nerfed to 5m.

Oh and also, the spear still has dogsht TTK :

- You still can't 2 shots a light like other melees do, because embark in their infinite wisdom set the dmg at 74, so you leave lights at 2 hp. Which also forces you to play winch if you just want a chance of killing lights. No mesh or goo.

- Obviously you can't 3 shots medium either, but now even 3 LMBs + QM doesn't kill since QM got nerfed to 25 dmg. You leave them with 3 hp, and once again, the only solution is to play winch for that extra 5 dmg.

- Worst of all, you need 5 (!!) hits to kill a heavy. And there's no way to make the TTK faster with QM or winch this time. You're literally forced to spam LMB like an ape, and the time it takes you to kill a H is enough to be killed twice with another weapon.

Heck, even the sword LMB can 2 shots lights, 3 shots medium, and 3 shots + QM heavy. Using the sword without the dash is literally better than the spear. Hello Embark ?? How come they buffed sword LMB to 110 fking damage, which is nearly as much as sledge, but didn't think that the spear hitting for only 74 dmg was an issue ?? It literally does less damage than the Riot Shield lmao.

RMB is just as useless as before too. At least now we're not locked in the whole animation, you "only" do one spin that does pisslow damage just like LMB. But who cares when the hit is at the end of the spin animation which means you don't hit in 99% of situations, and the 1% of situations where you do it'd have been better to just spam LMB to kill faster.

Everyone puts the finger on wemby, but at some point we gotta talk about mitch

Without even mentioning the rotations, it's the coach's job to create plays for his superstar. How come you have a 7'5 MVP candidate and you let him play on the perimeter the whole game ? I'm all for team-centric, selfless basketball, but that doesn't mean not using your best player's advantage over the whole fking league.

With wemby's gravity and how knicks players tend to collapse on him whenever he gets near the paint, we can just spam PnR and always have a good option.

Or what about just throwing lobes ? Our 3 PGs like to drive in a crowded paint, so instead of hard shots just throw lobes at the scoreboard. Wemby is the only one who can catch them anyway.

Heck, we could even run double big with kornet so he can box out Kat and open the paint for Wemby.

Idk man, I just feel like we're too much behind on the macro side. It's easy to say wemby plays bad, and he definitely doesn't play as good as previous series, but a big part of the problem lies with mitch and the coaching staff. We're playing 2 steps behind the knicks.
