Not an atheist, thanks for the thoughtful post though! ;)

PLEASE stop the hate!!! @Charliere

ghosts/spirits - real but not in the scary/ horror movie sense. demons - real. god - fake.

I will never go back to an Intel processor. dead to me.

this helps

can someone give me timestamps

Logitech is king. Moved from the g502 to the g604 (wireless), but I still highly recommend the g502...great mouse all around.

Adobe rush/ Adobe premiere are the go to IMO and you can get them for pretty cheap if you are in college / have a college ID or of course obtain them...other ways. I know a lot of people use sony vegas but idk they just enjoy suffering or something.

Anddddd now Nvidia releases the rest of their product line. *waits*

A good burger REQUIRES good fries. A good pizza does not.

I'll stick to my pattern tracking for now, which is to say this happens every time nvidia releases their new series and then AMD is poised to release theirs everyone fires up the AMD is gonna beat Nvidia rhetoric. Nvidia is already lined up to keep crushing in the next 2-3 years so it's not really anything to figure out, their current adjustments to the 30 series from the 20 has cracked open a lot of opportunities.

Alright lets clear a few things up for all you AMD fanboys, and mind you this is coming from someone who switched to an AMD CPU for the first time in 15 years of computer building. As of Q2 2020 Nvidia owned 80% of the discrete GPU market to AMDs 20%, up from Q2 2019 where it was 71% to 29% respectively. Has AMD been killing it? yes Has Intel been complacent? yes. You have to understand that just because AMD is killing it on the CPU end doesn't mean they will magically own the GPU market, it's a whole different game there. Intel has been lazy as shit repackaging the same thing and calling it new for the last 2 years(if not longer) and at this point essentially tripped on a thousand dollar bill and cracked their head open. Nvidia on the other hand has been pumping iron training for this day for the last decade and if you don't think they're gonna hit hard you are blinded by your need for the little guy to prevail. If AMD went back 10 years and started putting in the same effort they've been putting to the CPU market towards the GPU market maybe they'd stand a chance. Nvidia is bigger and better with the money and infrastructure to crush any competition, if you don't believe me look at the numbers. Nvidia - 80% market share, $9.3 Billion total equity, 330 Billion stock market cap AMD - 20%, $6 Billion total equity, 93.8 Billion stock market cap So think about it here...you're saying a company that has already lost market share in the last year and has less money to their name is going to magically take what is their secondary product and own the market? No. AMD is going to continue to crush the CPU market and maybe keep their current foothold in the GPU market depending on how they perform this year, but it'll take another 3-5 years of them kicking ass in the GPU market to even come close to Nvidia. You just can't compete with how far invested Nvidia is with literally this one fucking thing: everything video cards. Think about all that is required with video cards...the marketing, the software, the hardware, the company deals, the monitors, the games, the raytracing, the 4K performance...and they own it all handily. They have been slowly over idk 15+ years just leaking into every portion of the computer market that they could even remotely touch and now they are in a perfect place. They own 80% of the market and they already adjusted their prices down to a more (high end) consumer friendly spot and now they are going to be able to properly deliver quality RTX and 4K which the gaming and video market will just feed off of. Even if your argument is budget pricing, the 3060 is slated to beat out virtually all of the base (and super) 20 series cards at probably a $350-$400 price range, and the 3070 beating out a 2080 TI at $500-$600 and you're just not gonna get a better bang for the buck. At this point buying a 30 series is future proofing while buying whatever AMD puts out is probably spending less money now for more money later, and even then you'll get a 30 series super in a year or two and maybe even another 1600 style series...but even that'd be a waste tbh. In 2-3 years RTX and 4K will be standardized and Nvidia will be sitting there as king on the fucking mountain of money, but maybe AMD can have a seat way down at the bottom of the pile...still better than being intel though. I wouldn't bet a fucking shiny penny against Nvidia.

Calm down kiddos. Gonna be mid-high end budget cards, nobody is beating out nvidia in 2020.

You again, did not read all of what was said to you as none of what you are saying was the deciding factor in you being denied. You had 5 votes...f i v e...it just isn't enough support for us to give you admin. Also you argue that what was said was taken out of context and that you were arguing because you were being calling bad things and being threatened, but that's not really the point of it. Admins get called mean shit everyday, they get argued with, they get told they are flat out wrong and a whole bunch of other things and they need to be able to handle and defuse situations properly despite that. You have again chosen to ignore a very large part of why you were denied, which was your lack of overall support and at this point you are doing yourself more harm than good. If you actually care and want admin in the future you should read and understand what is being said to you in terms of ways you can improve and prove you are this calm and capable person by simply going out there and doing that...not arguing about it on the forums. I'll leave this open for a bit so you can respond with any other questions you might have, don't make me regret it.

I know you're young and it's commonplace to assume a whole slew of things under the assumption that everything is fair and equal and that all actions will be treated equal from all individuals no matter the circumstances, but I'm here to tell you that is not true. That being said, you are not being unequally treated here as the decision of whether you get admin or not is based on many factors not just your chat logs. Obviously seeing people (admin or not) go around calling other people fags, faggots, retards, etc. is not great to see and depending on the severity and circumstances, particularly anything of harassing nature, it is always dealt with properly here. However, it is the internet and everyone in the higher-up staff CA through BD recognizes that you cannot stop people from using these negative words all the time as it is just accepted language at this point. Are some of the negative words out there getting phased out slowly? absolutely...but if we started denying/removing/banning everyone who uses the word retard or even fag we would not have much of a player base left. Just wanted to clarify that for anyone who is reading, it's not as cut and dry as "this is allowed and this isn't" and as Kieran said context matters a lot when it comes to what is okay to say. Moving onto your actual admin app and reason(s) for denial, Black Rain was simply giving you a suggestion on a way to improve yourself so you have a better chance of getting admin. Looking at your logs I have to agree that what is there looks rather aggressive and argumentative, which matters far more than you using a specific word like "retard". This was explained to you by Black Rain in the thread so I suggest you read it again to understand exactly why you got denied rather than jumping to conclusions. On top of that you got 5 supports which is far too low to get accepted as an admin, meaning you need to increase your presence on the servers and probably the forums or discord as well. If you want to compare, BloodBlades has been here since June and he has over 100 posts and had 18 supports on his admin app. At the end of the day though Bloodblades and the use of the word retard is irrelevant as it was not why you got denied at all. You clearly need to work on how you handle and understand situations as can be seen here by your all too quick assumption that you were denied because of specific words. I suggest you learn to calibrate and become a little more aware of yourself and your surroundings.

In an effort to get more people involved and participating in the event/contest we are reformatting a few challenges and changing the overall idea of challenge weeks. The challenges will no longer need to be completed during the week they are released, meaning they can be completed anytime between now and then end of December at your leisure. This includes the two weeks that have already passed. As the weeks build up we'll condense them into one large thread where you can go to see how you're doing comparatively. Hopefully this gives everyone a little more leeway in completing the challenges how they want, but remember you still need 30 and 60 challenges complete respectively to get the prizes depending on what you're chasing. Week 3 will be posted later this evening, good luck!

As you said, its a powerful tool...you'd be surprised how much you can string multiple discords together ;)

This man is delusional, you can't trust anything he says!

I don't know why they're making me do this promo thread...I don't even like these guys. Anyways yeah here are some more promos or whatever. First we have the man who never talks but is still somehow climbing the ranks while Trazz sits watching in terror. This may very well be the first mute Community Advisor that SG has ever seen so please quietly join me in welcoming Scrolls to the CA team. His responsibilities will include: Work with the higher staff on implementing important decisions and projects Handling player complaints and issuing bans Moderation of the forum Give awards to members on request Send group invitations to members on request Post in-game server problems on the forum Help in any way to make the servers fun Handle reported posts on the forum Second we have a very special promotion, and I'm not saying that because of the rank but because of his impressive (and at times scary) rise. A once horribly annoying child of JB and king of player complaints now reformed and on his way to greatness. The leader of the children, the prince of JB, the hall monitor, the most hardass CT you'll ever meet...prepare yourselves...joining us as a Server Manager is none other than TheZZL. God help us all. His responsibilities will include: Verify that servers are operational Reboot dead/lagged servers Assist in training new admins Search for new maps for all servers Upload maps to the servers and fast downloads site Edit map lists & rotations Honestly I'd understand it if you didn't even thank the post...what a buncha crap. Yeah so that's it. jk congrats to both of you. thank the post.

uhh...... [REDACTED]....so you know a few less than expected but not too bad.

just look past the ugly text to the mousepads my dude
