#8 RCADIA Fortress TF2 Community LAN in News

I think this LAN coverage has the best HUD I've seen so far. The team health bars convey alive/damaged/dead very quickly and are tucked well out of the way of the action, player bars are well placed and quickly convey which team the spectated player belongs to, and the class icon getting ubered along with the player is extremely cool. I think my only (minor) complaint is that the uber and kritz icons are a little too similar.

#148 TF2 player vocabulary in TF2 General Discussion

some people make bad social decisions because they're autistic. makes it all the worse when others use their autism as excuse to be an asshole.

#49 TF2 player vocabulary in TF2 General Discussion

it sucks that the person who started this thread has apparently been one of the worst offenders in the past, kinda puts the whole motivation for posting into question. but at the end of the day the whole point of the rule is to help keep people who aren't capable of "just growing thicker skin" for whatever reason from being driven away. people should be able to play their favorite game without worrying if someone is gonna try to fuck with them. or at least knowing they'll face consequences for doing so

Everyone has filters they use around different groups of people. In a game where you know everyone, obviously you can be more comfortable saying whatever. But if you're getting reported, you're clearly making someone else uncomfortable. (tho rgl scanning scrim chatlogs for slurs is an odd grey area where people are potentially getting punished even if everyone on the server was fine)

really tho its not that hard to just not be an asshole

#59 The Fridge Enigma in TF2 General Discussion
delete_my_accountI think I've encountered the fridge like 2 or 3 times throughout my years but I never really thought much of it since I run into visual glitches at least once a week.

Yeah same, even over the years with multiple OS installs, so I think it's a safe bet that everyone sees them, it's just a matter of whether they care enough to notice. Since I suck at ARGs all I can do is be a party pooper and say that the fridge itself is almost certainly confirmation bias. It happens to everyone but you stop caring until you read a fridge thread--then it dominates your thoughts, filling your soul until there is nothing left of you but cold ham and a mustard stain.

#21 How to you get people to pay RGL fees? in TF2 General Discussion

I think the practical reason for the difference between NA and EU is that it's The Way Things Are Done for both regions, and the exact events that led to things being that way were years before I joined this forum. Also NA has UGC for all the poors so making direct comparisons of ETF2L to RGL isn't right.

How would you implement a prizepool in EU? I think fewer people would quit than you say even if paid divs were the only options. There may or may not be room for a concurrent free league, but despite the amount of shit that gets talked about it, NA has sustained a free league in UGC this whole time, so I doubt that would be an issue. ETF2L itself could get in on running both types or not, but at the end of the day, all an EU prizepool means is that the EU community needs someone(s) it trusts enough to handle money to step up and distribute winnings.

If running two leagues really isn't viable for whatever reason, we could try to get crazy. What if you ran an entry fee bracket parallel to the normal free one? During the season you can simply run everything normally with all teams, and then I see a couple of routes for playoffs. I think the best is again to just run playoffs as normal, but only teams that paid in are eligible for payouts. So for example, if at the end of grand finals you had:
#1 Team 1 (free)
#2 Team 2 (paid)
#3 Team 3 (paid)
Team 1 would still be able to say they're the best team in EU, but since they didn't pay league fees Team 2 gets the grand prize, Team 3 would get the 2nd place payout, and so on. You could argue that only teams with a chance of winning would pay in, but that's kinda how things already work anyway, except right now there's absolutely no one paying because it isn't an option. You could argue that it makes grand finals less exciting if the prizepool might not actually be on the line, but again, compare to now, where no one gets paid.

As full alternatives, if you want to lock playoffs behind a paywall, or run separate free vs paid playoffs, you could have a secondary point total for paid teams during the regular season that only updates when they play against other teams in the paid bracket. Then you can rank paid teams separately in the postseason. But these have huge drawbacks, like the best teams potentially not technically winning the season because they didn't pay.

I dunno, at this point I'm just throwing ideas at the wall to see what sticks, but the point I'm trying to make is that there are plenty of options to try to implement if anyone really feels passionately about prizepools. My feeling is that there isn't one because the people in charge feel they don't need one, or maybe even that TF2 shouldn't have one, and I wouldn't fault them for either.

#3870 PC Build Thread in Hardware

Hey, got a question about upgrading my rig as it relates to mining crypto. Something is compelling me to post about it on a tf2 forum, idk how you'll feel about that lol

I have a lot of ancient equipment. Two gtx680s, a 9500gt, an array of cpus a decade or more ancient than the i5-4690k I just replaced with an i7. Miscellaneous Other Things. Unused tablet and smartphone. A lot of this stuff has contributed to me playing TF2, i mean im pretty sure that 9500gt let me play the orange box for the first time ever back in 2010. But now that I've got an upgraded rig and an additional pile of mostly-functional equipment, I'd like to try to put it to use. Mining.

Everything I've come across online says "don't do this, your equipment is basically fossilized, dont be an idiot." Is there any other wisdom to be had?

My current specs are:
MSI Z97 Gaming 7 Motherboard
Intel Core i7-4790K
Samsung 870 Evo 2 TB 2.5" Solid State Drive
XFX Radeon RX 6700 XT 12 GB Speedster QICK 319
1x GTX 680

I've been able to get some mining done with the 6700, but the 680 refuses to cooperate no matter which coin or miner I try to use. Vertcoin OCM got it loading something at least, but I couldn't figure out where it was mining to lmao. I thought if I got a second rig going with just my NVIDIA cards, less scammy miners might work better.

I can list out all my spare parts in more detail (like I could maybe try to find specs on the pre-2000s Compaq pc cases I'm planning on using) but I figure the most relevant are the i5-4690k, the two 680s, the 9500gt, and a budget of $500-$1000 to hopefully pack all that together into a complete mining rig. Would I need to buy a new CPU+mobo to run all 3 cards in SLI, or can the 9500 even run on the same machine as the 680s at all? Something like this or instead like this?

Alternatively, some advice on turning it into a secondary gaming pc could be nice. Maybe something super cheap I could lend to a friend or whatever
