My son attempted to play Tarkov. Then tried to get a refund (he failed) :lol:

I really need to get back to gaming for fun, and not these frustrating games like BF.
Honestly, this is why I avoid MP. I could see myself maybe enjoying a co-op thing, but it's called 'playing' a game for a reason.

I would love for co-op to come to Halo, but yeah, MP isn't casual anymore. My matches are all sweaty now.

Exactly. I started playing those with friends and found communities of like-minded people playing the BF games, but fewer and fewer friends play these games any longer for various reasons. I have no interest in finding a new community/clan or whatever either.

I generally avoid multiplayer like the plague, but I might be willing to play if guys like this were always on:

I’ve had a razer blackwidow elite for a year, and it was really too big for my desk. I’ve been thinking about a tkl and came across this Glorious Gaming GMMK 2 96% tk-it gives me the extra space for my low sens gmg, and it’s the nicest keyboard I’ve ever used.

I have a BlackWidow Mini that I used for about 5 or 6 months. I really like the feedback of the keys but the lack of a10-key pad proved more of a thing than I ever thought it would be, so I reverted to my old Logi Wave dealybob. (I'll probably get an Elite when I update my laptop) Still use the Basikisk mouse, which is excellent.

It’s not just the size of that 96% tk; the smooth yet not mushy keys have a nice satisfying thonk.

I like full-sized keyboards. IMO there's no such thing as a "too big" keyboard.

After a 3 week break, Im' back into Skyward Sword. Just beat the Farron Woods temple and opened up the second area through the clouds to get to the Volcano. Also doing some side quest stuff.

While it's a big world, and a lot to do (I'm about 7 hours in), this game is a lot of fun, but after playing BOTW, it seems like a "small" world. Just shows how big BOTW is.

Season 2 of Halo started today, which included another ranking reset. This is apparently normal, but I was unaware, and hate it. I was floating between Platinum 1 and 2, but had to go through the 10 matches to get my new ranking. Gold **** 5. God I hate having to grind this **** out.

Third pc in 3 years done! I initially wanted to do another meshify c case, but the GPU was too much of a chonker. This build is in a Corsair 4000D airflow.

My RTX 3060 arrives today, and I'm hoping that it fits. I'm a little worried about the water cooling tubes.

2020 pc was all done up with rgb and braided sheath extensions for the power cables. Putting the case on the floor to have more desk space makes it so you can’t even see the rgb :lol:
Keyboards and mice tho :thumb:

I had my LEDs on the first day just to see them, then turned them off. They serve no purpose.

It’s nice to coordinate/customize the kbm-functionally it’s nice to have the keys light up for gmg at night.

A week in and the gmmk2&model I are great. A super light mouse is better than I thought it would be. Get those heavy weighted mice TF outtta here.

Got my RTX 3060 today, and holy **** is it small (TWSS). GTX 1650 for comparison.

Are you running 1080 or 1440?
Gaming on 1440 is sogood.

I accidentally reset my Halo settings - which I spent literally hours fine tuning. My stupid **** ass didn’t take a screenshot of the settings, so I’m going through the motions trying to recreate them. In the meantime, I’ve lost 5-6 straight matches, including damn near every 1v1, and have dropped almost a full rank.

Why these games don’t allow you to save your settings and restore them is beyond me. I know this is ultimately my fault, but still.

EA Games on PC have cloud save, which saves a lot of the common settings. I fired up Battlefield 3 for the first time in 3 or 4 years, and it pulled in all of my keybindings, mouse sensitivity, colorblind/HUD options from the last time I played. You'd think MS would have a similar feature.
