[Rickster]

Same. Haven't been to a tournament in a while. Nobody in my area really plays so things have been slow. Alright, I'll try to play with the Pro controller, but can you not use mains or secondaries or pockets please?

...are you trying to say you don't want to play anymore

 

[RosalinA]

...are you trying to say you don't want to play anymore

No, I'm asking if you can use anyone but your mains, secondaries, or Cloud.

 

[Rickster]

Ahh...I'll pass then. I need to work on characters I'll actually be using in a local

 

[RosalinA]

Alright fine you can use them. I'm perfectly fine using Jigglypuff.

 

[Rickster]

Ok, hopefully we can get a good connection

Added.

Room is open

 

[RosalinA]

Ummm...I've been disconnected for 30 minutes appaerently. Can you play in half and hour?

 

[Rickster]

Ummm...I've been disconnected for 30 minutes appaerently. Can you play in half and hour?

Yeah I can wait a bit

 

[Nammy12]

Rickster I can play with you if you want until RosalinA can.

I've got about 30 min anyways.

 

[Virtue]

No, I'm asking if you can use anyone but your mains, secondaries, or Cloud.

Somewhat late reply, but you shouldn't be reluctant to fight your opponent's best characters if you hope to have fun or improve. Like, nobody is gonna learn anything or have actual fun if I played against them with my ROB, who has roughly 0 minutes of play. I'd rather lose more often then win to someone if they are playing their main then steamroll a character they don't know how to use.

 

[Y2Kay]

WALKING DEAD.

WHY.

MY GOD, OH WHY?

 

[Aunt Jemima]

Four months later:

Oops..... sorry we never got to play..........I had a heart attack and went into a coma...wanna play now?

I'm going to be playing with a controller that I'm only a little
better with than the Wiimote, so I'm not trying to improve here.

If you really aren't comfortable playing right now we don't have to

 

[RosalinA]

No

If you really aren't comfortable playing right now we don't have to

I am, I'm just trying to have some fun, not to get better for a tournament, that's what I meant.

 

[Buddhahobo]

WALKING DEAD.

WHY.

MY GOD, OH WHY?

The thing is I have no idea if this is your reaction to the latest episode, or the first one.

It's that type of show.

 

[Koiba]

Sorry to butt in, but wouldn't Rickster have fun too if he was playing characters he actually like to play as?

 

[Buddhahobo]

Sorry to butt in, but wouldn't Rickster have fun too if he was playing characters he actually like to play as?

Yeah, having fun playing is the best part.

If I was playing with an unfamiliar controller for fun against someone who wanted to get better, I'd be asking them what they'd like me to play if it's all the same to me, rather than putting limitations on who they're trying to get better with.

 

[FullMoon]

There's gonna be a big Sm4sh tournament in another state and it has almost 100 participants

And I'm not quite sure if I'll be able to afford travelling

RIP

 

[JayE]

tfw when everyone is talking about the Walking Dead but you don't watch TV

 

[ZephyrZ]

They probably weren't swapping out their oil regularly. Or maybe it was just a bad State Fair. What type of food was there?

There was a million food stands, but almost no variety among them. They all just sold cliche carnival food. I haven't been to any State Fairs to compare it to, but it was pretty awful as far as I could tell.

But maybe I just don't like fair food. Heck, maybe I just don't like fairs.

 

[RosalinA]

Can't aim, can't control my characters, can't do crap. You have a great Zelda Rick, but I can't do anything right now, especially when I john john john, john john john john john. So many johns.

Fire breathing Dragons are known for burning down fairs, come to think of it. You may be on to something.

That's fine, good games anyway. It was refreshing to fight a Jigglypuff since no one plays her (just like Zelda lol). I'm assuming she's your main since you chose her often

 

[RosalinA]

Nope. Not at all. I just wanted to have fun, and I did. If you can't see my signature, here:
Mains: Rosalina, Meta Knight
Secondaries: Lucario, Corrin, Dark Pit/Pit
Yeah when I wanted to side b, sometimes an up b would come out, and that applied to the other moves and directionsas well. That's why the controller didn't input the correct direction on the up b and I died as Rosalina and used Rest as Jigglypuff and used fair when I wanted to use dair and suicide with Corrin.

Late reply.

Any computer gorls around? I have a really... Well, bad setup. I bought it premade from Best Buys because of a sale and I was afraid of building one. (Here's the kicker: I had to take out the power supply and put in a new one ANYWAY, and found out it woulda been a cinch to build my own - Kinda stuck with this thing now :SecretSadPop: aaaa)

I only have 1 ram card (8GB - DDR3 - 1600). Would that be a problem? I have a 6 core processor with 3.5ghz, so I'm assuming that can't be why my computer sometimes goes "derp hurr???" and freezes for a moment. Sometimes even crashes if I'm a Firefox with multiple tabs/gifs while playing Overwatch or watching a video. I was wondering if the problem was the ram not being able to keep up sometimes because it's just one lil thing working by its lonesome. Or the other problem maybe being FX6300 (6 cores - 3.5GHZ - 4.3GHZ when overclocked but I don't do that nonsense) or NVIDIA 750ti graphics card.

If it's the RAM I was gonna spend 40 bucks on another similar card to keep the other one company. If not, I'll just save my money for... Like... Food that's not instant noodles.

I don't think 1 stick of RAM should cause any problem unless it was really low like 512MB (in this day and age) or you're doing insane stuff on it like +100 tabs for whatever reason -- I have no idea how people manage this [having a crapton of tabs]. Since it's 1 stick, it's single-channel which really is fine. Ideally, you want dual-channel or more. I say ideally since unless you're video-editing or doing something that really needs a lot of RAM and "fast RAM", 1 single stick of RAM is fine for everyday usage and gaming. It's just that it's not dual-channel or more.

Similar case with the CPU and GPU. AMD's FX 6300 is fine for everyday, gaming, whatever. It just happens that AMD's FX generation is crappy... GPU shouldn't be a problem outside of stuff like gaming, modeling, animation, etc., where it's going to be used heavily; GPU is used for stuff like video watching, but unless you're running a dinosaur of a machine, it shouldn't be problem.

The only thing I can think of why your PC is freezing and crashing outside of you heavily stressing it out for some reason like 101 tabs of Dalmatian puppy videos all running at the same time, is that something is failing or malfunctioning. Not to scare you, but things like this happen. For example, some component could be overheating for some reason; thermal paste issues, temperature problems, dust buildup?, and voltage? problems. If that's the case, then it might be best to head over to sites like Linus Tech Tips and Tom's Hardware and ask in their forums for help; replace whatever is failing if you can figure out what it is, or replace the system entirely. The only advice I got is to try and check temperature and stuff with something like HWMonitor.

If it's not your PC is dying in some way, then maybe try to lessen the stress you put on it if that's the case. Maybe invest in a newer, better PC as a long term goal too; indefinite goal/need of having (healthy) food is more important than upgrading a PC. You always have the option of going to a library and using their PCs, finding an office surplus to get an office PC as a temporary system, or get a cheap Chromebook which, yes, you can't really game on, but still. And I would suggest you at least keep the old PC or turn it into a HTPC or something if nothing really is wrong with it. Recycling! Really, you could just reuse the GTX 750 Ti as a temporary GPU if you say, really, really wanted a GTX 1080 Ti, but can't afford it with the rest of a new system.

Also, one more thing, while I do harp on prebuilt PCs and suggest building one yourself, prebuilts, even the ones from places like Best Buy are fine. You're going to be limited to stuff like options. LinusTechTip's "Buying a Gaming PC at Best Buy -- How Bad is it?" Spoilers: it's not.

Edit: I like how I've went from being "angry person Falco player" to "tech dude who is still angry in general".

 

[Buddhahobo]

you're doing insane stuff on it like +100 tabs for whatever reason -- I have no idea how people manage this [having a crapton of tabs].

Multiple screens and windows help.

When I'm on one screen like with my laptop, I typically open up different browsers and separate my various projects and tabs that way.

Depending on what sites you have open and what browsers you're using (Chrome has become a RAM heavy pig from what it was way back when), it's not actually that computationally exhaustive. And even when it is, I typically have enough free hard drive space to act as emergency RAM.

Lil Puddin , my two cents would be if you're in a position where you have to decide between upgrading your RAM or better quality food than instant noodles, than ignore the computer.

Typically when I hear "My computer is being derpy" and "I had to change my power supply", I assume something blew, hence the derpyness and new power supply. That doesn't mean everything in the computer got fried, but it can definitely hurt performance reliability if it got hit by a surge or some sort. I don't suppose it's still under warranty with Best Buy?

When you turn the computer on, does it beep at you, by any chance? Motherboards actually have something of a morse code to tell you what component isn't working correctly or if everything's groovy.

You can also just check how much RAM is being taken up in Task Manager / Activity Monitor when you're multitasking a bunch of tabs / playing Overwatch / Watching a Video to see how well it's holding up.

 

[Lil Puddin]

Lil Puddin , my two cents would be if you're in a position where you have to decide between upgrading your RAM or better quality food than instant noodles, than ignore the computer.

I was kidding sis. If anything it's more like choosing between saving for a better graphics card or 144hz monitor or RAM. I bought RAM anyway because this guy was selling it at his store for like 18 dollars vs the 37 at Best Buys (yay for friends). Couldn't hurt to have since I'd eventually up the ante anyway. I noticed there's less hiccups when I'm doing multiple things. So I guess it did help just a tad. For 18 dollars it's good anyway.

Also ty Ffamran . I got this computer 3 years ago, at the end of the year, so it's already pretty dated but can still do things nicely. My only true beef is the fact it had a crap power supply to begin with, not working front headphone/mic jacks, 3.0 USB ports in the front that shut off randomly for a few days (rarely, but still wtf), and the huuuuuuuuuuuge case. Although the huge case makes keeping it cool easier, even if all those vents all over it help dust get in there faster. LED lights are a pretty dumb touch too, but I suppose it's not a thing I hate.

Basically buyer's remorse. Shoulda just went to Newegg and waited 2 weeks to get the parts instead of rushing to get a computer.

 

[Lord Renning]

I have been told I've either got a scary Lucina or a very unique one. I'm far from the best, that goes to C-Lu and Kogarasuma. I just need to improve and train harder. Gotta become and keep on improving, since my goals are to show what she is capable of and that she shouldn't be overlooked and become one of the best Lucina mains out there.

I think you walk and dash irregularly, and stop at the perfect spacing for your chosen attack. It's really interesting. Also you're good with Lucina combos. Patient/aggressive. It's nice to see. I want to watch more games.

Fire breathing Dragons are known for burning down fairs, come to think of it. You may be on to something.

I hate this joke because I appreciate it.

McKnightlíght knows of the dark days (months) that 5 gallons of icing took to consume. Lil Puddin , the food meta is shifting towards the economical, (un)healthy tubs of icing. Invest in one now, and you will not be sorry.

I need to stop for a while I'm frustrated about something and it's really affecting my game. Great Zelda as always. Maybe we can play later.
