i didn't know it about chrome either, but it really fits google to do something like that

[AHoppy]

How resource intensive is it?  well, I have 4 tabs open, so you tell me

And I don't have a beefy computer.  I'm stuck with the free one my school gave me.  I mean, I'm not complaining, it's free.  But it also can't handle a ton

[eHalcyon]

I believe Chrome also has seperate processes for each plug-in and extension, and one for the renderer as well.

To be fair to Chrome here, my Firefox is currently using more memory than that, even though it just shows up as one process.

Huh.  Didn't realize that, but maybe all this does have more to do with the plugins installed?  I don't know.  I just know my computer's fan runs all the time, which happens when it's being taxed and the only thing I almost always have up is chrome.  Closing chrome usually turns the fan off.  Also, I know I do need to get the fan blown out...  Maybe that will improve my results more

Depends how old your computer is. Chrome never uses this much for me, but my old computer had the fan going when I used a browser.

i just had a game with fv and rabble and BoM. my op randomly imitated a pirate ship with his BoM, even though I hadn't bought a single silver (and he had no way of knowing what to hit). he ended up hitting 2 action cards and hurting me, but it would've helped me a lot on average.

after that we talked

can someone explain this to me?  i have no idea what he was trying to say

[2.71828.....]

It looks to me as if he didn't really like you giving him the advice that you gave.  And then got defensive about it and left.  I wouldn't read too much into it.  Maybe he thought you were being rude and criticizing him.  I know I am always up for advice on how I played poorly or should have done something different, but that is not always the case with everyone.

[silverspawn]

while we're at the topic: how much advise should you give others? it seems like a waste not to say something if your op is doing an obvious mistake, but it's also kind of weird to just give advise out of nowhere. you could ask "should i tell you something you did wrong", but that sounds kind of arrogant. what I'm currently doing is basically say something if it was an incredibly obvious mistake, like the pirate thing, and otherwise keep quiet. but I haven't really figured it out yet.

You could ask, "Do you want some advice?"  It doesn't sound as arrogant.

[Titandrake]

I've had games where I gave advice, and they reply by complaining that they had bad luck, implying that it was luck alone that mattered. Sure, could be true, but you don't have a good sense of your opponent's luck a lot of the time so it seems counterproductive...if you're at the level where you notice when your opponent is getting an unlucky shuffle you probably already know that there are things you could have done better no matter what the luck is.

[GeoLib]

I generally only discuss/give strategy advice to people from f.ds. Then again, I've played very little outside of GokoDom/League matches in the past year. It might be better to word things as a question, like "Why'd you choose to use BoM as Pirate Ship there?"

It's happening. Soon we will all get banned.

And then you can discard their best card.

I agree with this. Some people can't take critisizm of any kind. I know you're trying to help but really it's better just to say nothing.

[jsh357]

Pretty much every time I offer someone advice (or even say anything) they get salty about it, so I just don't even talk in games anymore unless they talk first.

[KingZog3]

I present it like "gg, not sure the whole ship thing was worth it." This way it puts it up for debat, and not me telling them why they suck. They can defend their play, and can say why I think it wasn't a goo play.

I wish that was me, but it's better if theory made that account.

Because of a conversation with my brother, I'm curious, to you who play video games, what do you look for in a video game?  My brother makes a game for fun and says that his weakest parts, storytelling and map design, are what everybody looks for in a game.  I would think good gameplay is what you should look for in a game.  So, what do you look for in a game?

Gameplay, but this it tied very much to the maps and levels. I don't know if you played Dishonored, but that game would be terrible if the maps were not as good as they are. Story is secondary and in fact, the only game ever to have a good story is Bioshock: Infinite. And by good story I mean one that is good for something other than a video game.

Hmm, I look for games that excel in multiple aspects (not necessarily the same ones each time), so I guess that translates to overall good "production values".

However, good gameplay is essential, and smooth flow and UI are great for not getting frustrated. I remember the teacher's assistant for my intro to game dev course emphasized replayability. Replay value is big as well. Variety and viable different game paths are neat too.

Innovative mechanics and amazingly original storylines are not nessecarily needed to make a great game.

Take all that together, you get something like League of Legends. Nothing really original there, and not much variety in level design. That doesn't stop it from being immensely addictive.

I guess it depends on the genre too. Good map design is a must for First-person shooters. Good enemy arrangement is a big deal for side-scrolling shooters.
