Title: Has anyone seen my aim? I seem to have lost it.
Post by: Piglet on January 02, 2024, 20:44
Maybe I accidentally lost it in a present I wrapped up for Christmas....

Piglet  you should ask Holy. I saw him bragging that he stole your aim in freon.

That sounds entirely plausible!

I had a bit better time yesterday. Maybe today it might be better again

Eventually, we all reach the age where the aim goes away and doesn't come back.  :(

no way . If this happens, you need to enroll in hell labs for research :D Age related aim issue must go under a doc. No way I think an older hell will be less better :D Its a phase. sleep it off :D

At least you had one!!

This year 2K24 confirm me in the terrible reality that I've been playing  for 20 years without any ^^
The worst thing is that even if I hoped it would come, with age it diminishes as Flenser says.

I wish you all a happy 2K24 UTyear ( (and would be delighted to help you thinking that your aim isn't all that gone).

I think you just have to figure out what works for you.

My aim is so up and down I can barely believe it at times. It varies so much I sometimes even wondered what factors decide how you'll gonna aim on a particular day. The only thing I got at this point is that I aim about 20% better when I'm hungover, maybe try that too :D?

I'm glad its not just me, sometimes I aim horribly, other days I'm fine. I wondered if it was anything to  do with the server or network conditions.

No, I think it's just life...

Yesterday was better.

I hope today will be even better. Time will tell!

Usually with me, my aim depends on how much tobacco and detritus I have on my mouse mat, or as someone pointed out previously the sensors on the mouse.

Nah! I missed so much.

I've worked out the problem. At the time I'm playing other people are using the bandwidth for things like downloading games and watching catch-up TV.

I don't have a massively broad connection, so the other things happening throw off a steady timing.

I probably should get a faster router with decent QOS, ready for the next few years

I just use a cheap £50 TP link one. I've used there gear for BT a lot, and my personal preference for jobs :)
There are a couple on sale on amazon at the moment AC1900 - not sure that is ADSL though. I made that mistake on my last job, router only had a fibre rj45 port  ::)

In France we get the box from the provider. Blazing fast internet for around 50 bucks and TV is included. Cannot ask better. 1 gbps line. How are the rates in UK / Ireland and is there any usage limits? Here everything unlimited and no speed throttle.

I'm at the end of my contract with Virgin Media (Fibre 250Mbps down/25Mbps up), next month it increases to £57 pm.
Plusnet are currently offering 500Mbps down/75Mbps up for £32 pm for new customers, so I'll likely go with them.

There are no download restrictions in place.  Virgin Media have/had a fair usage policy which throttled the bandwidth for a few hours, but you had to really hammer the downloads/torrents to fall foul of this.

I haven't lost my aim.  I never really had one to begin with :)

 Not bad but is the line optic fiber or ADSL tech [copper wires bring net]? Most people will find the specs you mentioned more than adequate. But netflix 4k does puts a lot of demand :)

I'm fortunate enough to be able to benefit from FTTP (fibre to the premises).
I can opt for superfast fibre at 1000Mbps down, but this is overkill for my needs.

This sound still haunts me...

I remember the sound as a kid :D I did force my poor parents to pay up a shit load as I think it was per min cost to connect to dail up? :D I remember the sounds lol

The first two words my eldest daughter learned to read are:

1. Her name.
2. The word "loading".

Yeah. We had dialup!

If I were recording it would be "Thaw ffs!". Teammates standing doing stombo's just outside thawing range, or walking straight past....

Apologies Piglet, that sounds like something I would do, accidentally. I tried freon after 4 or 5 beers on Friday night, I couldn't hit a thing; much to Somas delight - even managed to record my epic fail on youtube.
