How is that elitist? That's a perfectly reasonable rig. It's certainly good, but it's by no means excessive.
No, I meant about programs/websites.

Edit for context;

we were going to have a FC ("guild") poker night where we bet gil but all the sites the event hoster was going to use for poker were complete ass, so they called me an elitist about it :c

Kinda late to this discussion but I have a pair of Audio Technica ATH-M50s and they're great. If you have income you should just save up $50 more for an even better pair. But why stop at $50? :^)

well fair enough but that doesn't stop my point that team games require voice comms.
yes - voice comms which are available in a very large number of other ways

it's not really any game developer's responsibility to make sure that you can voice chat with people in their game when literally everybody has a smartphone that they can use to call or skype or etc. with people

Also it IS a problem with Skype. that doesn't happen in mumble, vent, ts etc. Skype changes your mic boost unless you disable exclusive control in windows.

That is a SKYPE issue.
I haven't disabled exclusive control in windows and skype doesn't do that for me or anyone else who I normally skype with (who've also disabled the auto-mic boost in skype at one point or another)

also;

Arguing with Bleck gets you nowhere. He's just going to say that it's a people problem since there's settings or whatever, even though you aren't wrong.
yeah, that

somebody not knowing how to use a computer is not the computer's fault

Bleck's perfect for a bait and punish.

He throws out a post that seems relatively safe to punish, but just like lucario, it cancels on hit and allows him to not only break your shield, but cause mad disrespect at the same time.

I'm always wary of that match-up. gotta respect those tools at his disposal.
714 pages later and it's still relevant.

I find it hard to believe you can say this seriously.

I obviously don't mean that people use voice comms to talk to friends or people they already know. Voice comms are useful for talking to strangers and unknowns. Do you seriously expect people to exchange skype information or teamspeak servers when the game could just simply include it?

I think it is a responsibility if the game devs want their game to be competitive and team focused to provide suitable team communication abilities.

I haven't disabled exclusive control in windows and skype doesn't do that for me or anyone else who I normally skype with (who've also disabled the auto-mic boost in skype at one point or another)

Well it happened to everyone I knew. *shrug*.

Perhaps I am too harsh on skype, but seeing how every update has made their IM and UI worse I am being too harsh on their voice system. I did use it for several years but I've found TS to be way better.

yes, I don't assume that other people should do extra work for the sake of my convenience when I have all of the convenient options already (I do this because I am an adult)

if you don't think that your smartphone which in itself can access the internet and do a myriad of things that solve all of these problems is convenient enough then you might have a problem of perspective

it's likely that there are non-voice related communication options included in the game

like, you know, all of the other games you're probably thinking about (hey, look, even dota2)

Well it happened to everyone I knew. *shrug*.
people generally tend to associated with others of similar levels of competence

y'all need liberal usage of the ignore function on smashboards

also, b/c I use premium I can just adblock the "show ignored users" link and never see it again it's great

I haven't used the ignored function yet and haven't need to yet outside of getting close with some trolls and ****posters in here a few months back.

not to sound elitist here but if skype is using up a lot of your computer's resources it's probably time for an upgrade

my computer is seven years old and doesn't give me any problems with skype

that being said...



random signouts are usually caused by either internet problems or having the account logged in to multiple different devices at once; the former is obviously not an easy problem to solve, but the latter is fairly manageable

as for the pangya issue I have no idea
Skype is fugly and has ads. Checkmate.

Distance too real... (Also, how do people react in general if one puts his hand over theirs? Has there been any data collected?)
It's actually pretty hard to maneuver their hands depending on the action. That's why I've come up with duct-taping my fingers to theirs so I can retract their fingers as well as push them forward. They're sometimes reluctant to that too so that's where I've got the waist belt and handcuffs but that's only on occasion.

In a month from now though I'm gonna teach this girl Smash.
Gonna start it off right by just thrashing her with Falco, and explaining you need 2 years to get good at Melee. Then I'll turn on PM and go from there.
@ SpiderMad SpiderMad

He probably has several videos, voice recordings, notepad entries and even a documentary, laying around somewhere.
I'll share them all with you eventually.

I don't really need an ignore button because it's such a basic human function that I already use everyday.

Ignoring people, not an actual button by the way.

If you are ignoring people it is time to stop using the internet for a bit.

Dota 2 is the only game I know of where I feel like the upsides outweigh the downsides with voice chat. Every game is a competitive oriented intimate 5v5 game, so it works. It also helps that it has the entire backing of Valve.

You've gone straight to pressuring your dates into sadomasochism Spidermad. That's...kind of disturbing.

Please don't take this too far.

You've just made me realize I need to set up some Music, with my computer's speaker system being far from the Smash room.

Don't forget the classics.
gotta be subtle, ya know?
**** that ****. I'm turning her on with actual good music. The problem is I might just move my computer's speakers to the room to use with my Mp3 player, so that actual good music sounds good. These Ihome things suck, unless I used audio splitters.. hmm I guess I'll try that. http://i.minus.com/jbsqc3z1t8Hw1A.jpg

Or I could just blast these from the work-out room, but there's no audio in

Play her Tired Of Sex by Weezer. That'll turn her on for sure.
I think I'ma go with... Emancipator..and Bonobo.. and J Dilla..

Using splitters is decent I guess, this girl deserves better sound quality than this crap though. I'ma either move my computer speakers or go with the blasting the large work-out room ones with a CD.

Finished my first play through of FE7. My only paired ending, aside from Pent and Louise ofc, was Lyn x Rath. But, aside from Awakening (which I only do because of how easy it is to build up and bonuses it gives), I rarely do supports in FE intentionally and it is usually more of just being an accident when the happen. But I have the feeling I might go out of my way for some other supports in this new play through due to the way they work in this game.

Started back on Lyn's mode, hard this time (which really isn't any different from normal aside from not being forced to do ****), but I'm just breezing through it and skipping all text so I can just get Nils to level 7 for the gaiden(s) of chapter 19. Though I have the feeling the game isn't going to let me jump straight to Hector's hard mode after completing the game once due to how the mode select only listed normal for his mode, meaning I most likely need to unlock it, which makes me sad.

Yoshimitsu's new design in Tekken 7 is SO sick, he looks like a Xenomorph squid ninja thing, full on alien unlike before. I'm getting hype for this ,surprisingly enough.
