My thoughts on High vs Low sensitivity - CSGO (advantages and disadvantages)

Low sensitivity

Pros
It easier to master compared to high sens. Horizontal crosshair movement does not go too far up and down therefore you are able to maintain the crosshair at head level much better. Technique "slicing the pie" is easier to perform and looks clean. Micro adjustments of the crosshair is easier. Good for mid-long range combat. Target tracking is more consistent.



Cons
In my experience the cons are space, speed and energy consumption. Big mouse movements can sometimes cause you to hit the side of your keyboard even after you have provided enough space for the mouse. Turning your character is slower and big flicks are harder to perform. As you would regularly do big and rapid mouse movements your hand is quicker to get tired. Also you may do a lot of mouse lifting and repositioning.

High sensitivity

Pros
Overall movement around the map is better and faster. This helps in strafing. You can turn your character and check angles quicker. Big flicks are easier to perform. Your hand does not get tired quickly. Mouse pulldown when spraying does not require you to move the whole arm. High sens on close range combat is helpful.

Cons
It takes longer time to master. Micro crosshair adjustment/movement is quite difficult. Also, overflick is easier to happen. Mostly you will be depending on flicking more than tracking.

Remove Force Tower Effect in Mission War- Cabal Online

I am playing classic cabal online on a private server, there is no setting to remove the effect of Force Towers in nation war/mission war/mwar, also I do not know if this setting is even available or implemented in the official servers.

Why you should remove this effect

For better visibility. The effects from force towers sometimes can prevent you from seeing the enemies. Also, this effect is annoying. It is even worse if there are so many force towers built around.



To remove, navigate to your cabal "EFX" folder. The path should look like this:

Cabal Online\Data\FX\EFX
(Cabal Online > Data > FX > EFX)

Inside the EFX folder, you will see a folder named "forcetower".


Move the forcetower folder to somewhere else. For me, I just create a new folder in the same location and name it anything like shown in the picture below. Then I move the forcetower folder into the new folder.


Note: You must reopen cabal to apply this change or close cabal before doing this.

How to Delete Website Address in the Address Bar

Besides removing unwanted addresses, we want the address bar of the web browser to suggest and auto-fill or auto-complete the correct web address that we often visit when we only type the first few letters of its address, so that we do not have to type its full address. 

The websites that we often visit however sometimes get ranked lower in the auto-fill or auto-complete list therefore the browser gives a different website instead that spells the same for the first few letters of its address. 



An example of this is twitch.tv and twitter.com, where both have the same characters for the first 4 letters. 


The one that we visit more often for example is Twitch however we were given Twitter instead which we would not want to. 

To remove a website address from the top ranking in the auto-fill or auto-complete, follow steps below.
  1. Type the first or few first letters of the web address
  2. Highlight the web address using up/down arrow button
  3. Press shift+del button to remove
