How can I increase my reaction speed in FPS games?
How can I personally increase my reaction time in FPS games?You’re looking to lower your reaction time. This means it takes less time for you to react which means you’ll aim and shoot faster.You can train your motoric skills in the use of mouse so that your lack of skill in use of mouse doesn’t slow you down. You can get a precise mouse to further increase the precision of your mouse work.Second, you need a computer that can run the game preferably at 60+ frames per second - because at times such as when you make quick turns the frame rate will drop. You don’t want the screen update time to be a bottleneck.This means you also need a monitor that can update the image fast enough.Then you just need some training in the game in question so you identify friends from foes faster. Higher resolution helps some but requires a better computer to keep the frames per second at 60+.As for your reflexes, you’ll plateau at some point. Simply, you have a biological limit to how fast you can think, how fast you can respond to things and to the accuracy at which you can respond.Training will get you so far but at the top level it is more about genetics and life style support choices - getting all your vitamins, being in good shape and healthy and having the optimum amount of rest.Ideally you’d also have the right mindset and you will on certain days at certain time of day be at your best.With the right genes, training, age and so you could be the fastest human. Then it starts going downhill.Eventually as you close 40 years of age and get past it you will be facing more and more age burden. The neurons in your brains are as old as you are, they’ll be your age. The rest of your body will start to fail it’s maintenance and is starting to deteriorate.Even since early 20’s your brain will change. What you do will also affect how they change.Don’t feel alarmed or worried about that. I don’t. I’m relatively slow.Humans aren’t fast. Machines are fast.Humans can outperform machines elsewhere. You can outperform the rest of mankind by being that person no one else is - yourself.
What is the hardest game you ever played?
XCOM: Enemy Unknown.This game is also in my Games I’ve Deleted Angrily Before Finishing list. I really thought I could have fun in this game, but alas. It was not to be.XCOM: Enemy Unknown is a turn based game. Think of it like a sci-fi version of chess or checkers—except each piece has to move before your turn ends. You control a group of elite multinational paramilitary soldiers and try to stop alien activity on Earth. I say try because as much as this game has both a clear tutorial and an Easy mode, things are going to go south very quickly.Why is this game hard?The aliens.You see, you are fighting extraterrestrial life. In the early stages of the game, you fight these losers:They have small laser guns and…nothing else really. OK, some of them can hide behind bushes while mind-controlling their friends, but that’s it. They are no match for your 4–6 man team, armed with assault rifles and shotguns. At some point you come across these weird guys:They are known as Thin Men, and they are one of the most annoying things in the game. A single Thin Man was enough to take down one of my team members (This was partly my fault. I failed to carry a Medkit and it cost me. Still…)Thin men are incredibly accurate with their alien ray guns. A series of shots is enough to kill. But with the right cover and position you can still take them out and survive……for a few minutes because from here onwards you will see hell.The enemies just get harder. Entire squads will be lost. Blood, sweat and tears will flow. No matter how good your aiming is, no matter how much you upgrade your weapons, no matter how many UFO’s you shoot down, the aliens will win.It is very demoralizing to custom name your soldiers, promote them, build a connection with them only to have them wiped out because your sniper on overwatch was not hidden properly and was killed, meanwhile your Heavy decided that was the perfect time to miss a 100% accuracy shot. Your Support was the first to die, so none of your teammates can be healed. And by the way, your Assault guy can’t move anymore because he saw an alien in front of him and got mild PTSD.Even if you decide to retreat for your own good, the shame of bailing out will haunt you forever. Forever is a long time.XCOM, is the hardest game I’ve played.There are other games that deserve an Honourable Mention e.g Faster Than Light (FTL), This War Of Mine, and that MOTHERF*CKING LEVEL IN GTA VICE CITYʕ•ﻌ•ʔ
What are the best Tinder hacks?
Caveat: I've never actually landed a date off of Tinder, but that's not really my goal. I mostly use it as a casual hot-or-not and generally just mess around. I use it once or twice a week and usually have five to ten matches each time.If people liked you, they will be at the beginning of your stack: Tinder floats all the users who swiped-right (liked) you to the beginning of your stack, so if you want maximum matches than swipe right on everybody at the beginning.Pick a solo photo first: I almost never tap in and checkout a girl's other photos, so make the first photo a solo photo so it's clear who you are. If your first pic is a 10-person group photos I'm swiping left.Lots of mutuals = you probably defriended this person: I'm pretty liberal about defriending people on Facebook, so when a girl on Tinder has a ton of mutuals I probably know her/I'm swiping left.Your bio is most important after your photos: people tend to cop-out of this by just having a bunch of emojis as their bio, that's stupid. My favorite bio I've ever seen a girl have was "don't swipe right if you can't take a joke". Be still my heart.If you're a girl, you will get tons of disgusting messages: this seems to be a universal truth of online dating.Don't set your age to something super fake: Everyone lies about their age (I'm 20 and set my age to 22 = 2x more matches) but it's super annoying when someone sets their age to "100" or something dumb.When it comes to chatting, pick a strategy: This generally revolves around what you're trying to do. Trying to get laid? Try to close a IRL date ASAP. Trying to mess around with someone random? Be funny/weird. Trying to actually find a real relationship? Haha good luck.
How do I avoid distractions while studying (for IIT JEE)?
Hi,Thats a good question.Let me draw your attention to a small analogy here.Imagine there is an empty jar.2. There are few pebbles and sand which need to be filled up into the jar.3. Lets try to fill both these pebbles & sand into the jar; in the order of sand first followed by pebbles.You will notice that, you have many pebbles coming outside the jar & are not able to fit into the jar. How much ever pressure we exert on the pebbles/ or jar; the pebbles don’t get in but remain outside the jar4. Now Let's re attempt to fill the jar but in the order of pebbles first & sand later.Put the pebbles first in the jar & then pour the sand into the jar; you will notice that both pebbles & the sand could be accommodated. The sand fills in all the possible empty places in the jar.You must be wondering what your question regarding IIT has to do with the jar, pebbles & sand and hold on for few seconds you shall get your answer.Imagine the glass jar is all the time and energy you have got in a day at your dispensation.Assume these pebbles are those important tasks in a day; and in your case; must be the tasks related to your JEE preparation. Be it maths problem solving, or learning new concepts in physics or taking a mock test what so ever.And imagine the sand is all other lesser important activities like reading news paper, watching comics on TV, chatting with friends or even browsing quora :P just kidding; which you may think as distractions that are preventing you from reaching your goal.If you identify, plan and chase those important activities (pebbles) in your day; rest of the lesser important activities (sand) will fall in place automatically; but if you fail to do so; then these lesser imp tasks fill your day and dont let you focus on better things.This not only applies for your JEE preparation but in general a good principle could be applied everywhere.This i learnt from one of my favourite professors from IIT Madras and i tell you; this is a lesson for life.Having said this; i dont want to leave you with just a story; follow the tips that may help you derive the strategy to identify those important tasks and reach your goal in my another answer posted below.Rajeev YSR's answer to Are there any tips IITians followed in their preparation for JEE to work smarter instead of harder?
Why do people say "let love find you, don't look for it"?
“If you sit home playing video games all day, you won't meet anyone.”Heh. Heh heh heh. HEH HEH!I was 49 years old, and had never been married. In fact, I had barely dated as an adult. I’d had one relationship, when I was 23–24 years old, that lasted 18 months, and another when I was 36 that lasted six months. And after that, I just never had much interest in trying to find romance and love. I took the position, “if it happens, it happens”.So, living alone in an apartment, at 49 years old, I spent most of my time alone, playing World of Warcraft, when I wasn’t at work. Work and WoW, that was my life.So on Christmas Eve, 2015, I was sitting alone in my apartment, playing WoW. At some point in the evening, I wandered downstairs to my kitchen, and as I was entering the kitchen, I noticed for the first time a small, patched section on the wall. I was curious about it. You see, my apartment building was built some time before World War 2. I had already figured out that, when the building was new, it was heated by some kind of furnace in the basement, with all of the apartments sharing the heat. I figured that this small, square, patched-over spot must have originally been some kind of vent that allowed the air to move between apartments. My curiosity prompted me to knock on it.Somebody knocked back.So I knocked again, and heard more knocks in return. Then I heard a woman’s voice through the wall yelling, “Hey, come over here!”I was … a bit surprised. But I shrugged and went over there.I met my neighbor for the first time. We spent the rest of Christmas Eve together. Then we spent Christmas together. And the next day. And the next, and the next. She had a big TV, but no cable, so she could only use it to watch DVDs. I set her TV up with my WiFi password so that she could use my Netflix account. I spent most evenings in her apartment, watching shows on Netflix with her.In March 2016, she moved into my apartment, and toward the end of April, we got married.I was playing video games instead of looking for love, but love found me :)
