[QUOTE=Bathtub;49646890]After a certain point, playing games on a huge monitor is actually a lot worse. I have a 21 inch monitor and I find I play tons better than I do on a large TV, and I tend to enjoy the experience more.[/QUOTE] There gets to be a point where you can't focus on all the action from your focal point because of how large the screen is, so it can be detrimental

For FPS I prefer it big tho

I actually recorded the data, my KD on the 50 inch tv was around 0.75, while my KD on my 21 inch monitor was legit around 1.50. It makes an enormous difference, it boggles my mind when people decide they want to play everything on an enormous setup.
theres other factors that you havent taken into account such as the response time of your tv most likely being much lower than that of your monitor. that makes a ridiculous difference too
[QUOTE=Anti Christ;49646961]theres other factors that you havent taken into account such as the response time of your tv most likely being much lower than that of your monitor. that makes a ridiculous difference too[/QUOTE] I totally forgot about that, you are right.
i think once youve ruled out all of the outside factors, it probably comes down to personal choice. you probably do best wherever youre most relaxed. if your prefer a 21 inch, then youll do best there. my personal favorite is 24 inch 1080p. i find i do best there.
I think it's probably a bit like using mice where there's no 'best' mouse and ultimately the best mouse is the one your hand feels most comfortable with
I want to see Clinton win in Iowa, just so I can post #tastethecli[del]n[/del]t in response to everyone ever who has said Feel the Bern haha
[QUOTE=Vodkavia;49647191]Theres def mice you don't want to touch tho. Razor mouse buttons are brittle as fuck but a a peice of tape fixes that completely if you don't mind your mouse looking like something picked out of the trash.[/QUOTE] i have a deathadder and it looks and functions great. had it for 6 months so far with 0 complications and i think it looks pretty nice, especially considering the rest of the razer products
I've had a logitech G500 for years now and it works almost as good as new, the only issue is that sometimes it double clicks when I single click, but it isn't incredibly common and it's only a minor annoyance when it does.
[QUOTE=Antdawg;49647111]I want to see Clinton win in Iowa, just so I can post #tastethecli[del]n[/del]t in response to everyone ever who has said Feel the Bern haha[/QUOTE] stop liking thing
[QUOTE=Mister Sandman;49647006]I think it's probably a bit like using mice where there's no 'best' mouse and ultimately the best mouse is the one your hand feels most comfortable with[/QUOTE] I can verify that my current mouse is total shit though. Doesn't like to register clicks, and half the time when it does, it counts it as a double click. Also, it's started randomly disconnecting from my laptop. I'm seriously considering buying a replacement.
if a musician isn't suffering mentally or physically, they will make boring, un-inspired music
[QUOTE=darkshadow321s;49648396]if a musician isn't suffering mentally or physically, they will make boring, un-inspired music[/QUOTE] I get the feeling you don't actually know anything about music or musicians
Nowadays if a writer comes up with a male character who could as well be considered a Marty Stu, everyone will agree on how much said writer sucks and how annoying the character is If a writer comes up with a female character who could as well be considered a Mary Sue, everyone will praise the author for creating an empowering and realistic female character in fiction and deem the character deep and meaningful And yes, I'm thinking about Rey from Star Wars: The Force Awakens, whom no one can call what she truly is without being labelled as "sexist"
[QUOTE=Antdawg;49647111]I want to see Clinton win in Iowa, just so I can post #tastethecli[del]n[/del]t in response to everyone ever who has said Feel the Bern haha[/QUOTE] Same reason many want Trump to win. Watch the world Burn. However, bit foolish to want your own country to burn.
watch the world BERN :suicide:

Not all great fictional characters are strong and independent, why do all women have to be perfect in that respect?
[QUOTE=darkshadow321s;49648396]if a musician isn't suffering mentally or physically, they will make boring, un-inspired music[/QUOTE] I disagree. Although if they have a perfect life then they will probably compose boring, uninspired music.
[QUOTE=Darth Ninja;49649485]I disagree. Although if they have a perfect life then they will probably compose boring, uninspired music.[/QUOTE] That's kinda the same thing?
[QUOTE=Darth Ninja;49649485]I disagree. Although if they have a perfect life then they will probably compose boring, uninspired music.[/QUOTE] suffering is a good source of inspiration but if you think it's literally the only one then you gotta open your horizons wider than Nirvana and Alice in Chains
[QUOTE=darkshadow321s;49648396]if a musician isn't suffering mentally or physically, they will make boring, un-inspired music[/QUOTE] you are exactly the [I]second[/I] person i've encountered who has this opinion. i have no idea how someone think inspiration for interesting art only comes from emotional deficiencies. i also don't understand how this sort of opinion would bring a person to say to my face "i'm really glad you're severely depressed" simply because they thought it somehow made my poetry way better. this comes off as extremely insensitive and is a bit insulting to a person's craft too, as if the only inspiration for it is depression. also just a psa: depression is a disorder that needs to be controlled with therapy and/or meds. not feeling depressed is a good thing for everyone (i can't believe i'm even explaining this.) [QUOTE=darkshadow321s;49648396]physically[/quote] i have no words for this
[QUOTE=Kljunas;49649719]That's kinda the same thing?[/QUOTE] There's a bit of range between perfect and suffering. Yeah my psyche has it's flaws but I don't perpetually hear voices in my head or shit like that

There are better 90's bands than Nirvana.
[QUOTE=TheFilmSlacker;49650957]That's a shame. You're missing out on one of the best bands to come out of the 90s.[/QUOTE] ehhh, they're ok. i listened to them from time to time in middle school but i never really cared for them i was more of a [sp]Slipknot[/sp] kid
[QUOTE=TheFilmSlacker;49650957]That's a shame. You're missing out on one of the best bands to come out of the 90s.[/QUOTE] I feel that there's a lot of false praise for Nirvana considering the tragedy of Cobain. Did they produce good music? Yes. But they are the definition of "famous because of death".

Speaking of which, I don't like Nirvana at all.
CS:GO is kinda garbage.
