Robert_Cheeto must prevail

ok but for real the guy who said u should see a therapist is 100% right, but not in a negative way at all
i thought it was stupid when i was younger but it has helped me a ton over the years and i strongly believe that everyone would benefit from seeing a therapist, it's a shame it has such a negative stigma even today

and its much easier said than done but the best solution to not being motivated to finish a project is to simply sit down and make yourself work on it some more

im doing a computer science masters despite not having an undergrad in cs and ive had so many projects/assignments that ive been stuck on or unmotivated to work on, and ive told myself so many times like 'oh i dont have the coding background for this' or whatever story, but at the end of the day every time i actually make myself sit down and start coding or working on it (rather than thinking about it or rationalizing my inaction on it) i find it's not nearly as hard as i thought, its just the first step of getting started that is the hardest (which you have clearly already done on this project and many others, just need to re engage with them)

everyone has their setbacks and things may not be 'fair', but the only thing you can do going forward is accept things as they are and work with what you have, you will never be successful if you hide behind excuses to not try something

by all means maybe this isn't the project you truly want to pursue, but that line of thinking and attitude will prevent you from accomplishing pretty much any goals you have in life and i hope you are able to move past it (or at the very least not post on the forums about it lol, im posting this to be nice and hopefully help u go down a better path but if u keep posting this type of stuff in the future i will not care enough to spell it out like this)

Very disappointed not to see Cadont on this roster, -rep

baiter pocket theory go brrrr

obviously u wanna do as much damage as u can without being a bot and standing in a choke but having high damage taken definitely is not inherently a bad thing, i looked at my team's localhost logs out of curiosity and and besides rolls (winning team doesn't take much damage) most invite pockets would take 260-300 damage/min and be at the top or second of damage taken

good damage ratio + low damage taken (e.g., 240dpm 200dtm) usually means u aren't making enough space and are slightly baiting ur team (making them get shot at more), but if its a slow match all damage numbers get skewed downwards so it can be fine

ftfy

ok fr tho 200 dtpm isnt actually a good thing lol ideally on pocket u want to be the one jumping through first and fading to the side so they need to look at u, and not shoot at ur scout/demo/med who are trying to get through behind you

if ur used to shotgun pocket u can just babysit the med when the enemy team is pushing or on mid and clean up soldiers who jump ur med/demo, while being able to walljump and go deep in order to make space when need be (when ur pushing)

on the topic of bot airstrafing & miwos post there was a super cool project someone in the jump community was working on with using genetic algorithms to do jump/surf maps

demonstration of it 'learning' (they aren't really considered to be 'true' machine learning but its close enough) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YiAl9LVUc0U
stages 1-4 on jump beginner surf map - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RzLEOIzrDYI
segmented jump map - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qT_yc9nsJBk

was actually going to mess around with trying to get it to work using deep reinforcement learning last year but got too busy, might pick it up as a side project tho cuz its a rly cool problem

found another video of some guy using GAs for quake airstrafing - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xBodLDT_yrg

local man Schizo Pilled (psa, google can already uniquely identify u even without an account based off ip address and metadata like browser, resolution, ip, etc lol)

there are plenty of video hosting sites like streamable that only need an email address (iirc) which you can easily make fake ones
i would suggest using google voice for a new fake phone number but that would require u to overcome ur fear of Guggle

and sorry about the adhd/executive functioning but everyone has their own shit to deal with, doesnt make it an excuse for spreading misinformation (like on the spy thread or config threads) or wasting people's time lol
also i love the logic 'i think i know what im talking about, therefore, i know what im talking about' (maybe this is what Descartes was on about)

key word "i think" (if everyone else thinks u do not understand the topic well enough and constantly calls you out for talking out of ur ass, odds are ur the one who's crazy not everyone else)

edit: also stop using italics and bold in ur posts it makes u look like a dickhead (guys im so certain about this im going to emphasize it! except turns out im wrong)

pro tip mr AimIsADick bot is used as an Insult towards Bad or Stupid players (and mge servers dont have bots lol)
pro tip #2 if you want people to be interested in what you are doing maybe don't cite your own laziness (which sounds like an excuse for not actually knowing how to do it, which it is fine to admit lol) and put in the effort to upload a youtube video cuz nobody is going to download a fkn mkv file to watch your proof of concept video

if u want to make a post (on mapping forum or tftv) that people will respect u should instead reach out to a mapper or someone who can help you turn it into an actually useful idea (e.g., tr rocket shooting with bots that strafe, or even a simple map demonstrating the proof of concept, not just a nav mesh that ppl have to download and figure out themselves lol)
the thread on tf2maps u posted these incredibly poorly designed and unnecessary images which demonstrate a concept that a two year old could understand lol, makes it really hard to take you seriously (all u had to say was 'yep it turns out u can have nav meshes in the air and they will obey them! here's a youtube video')

it is an interesting idea and its cool that you're curious about these things and messing around with stuff but i feel like whenever you post it's always half-baked and super naive, if you want people to not shit on you whenever you post you should probably wait until you have a more fully fledged project (or acknowledge that it's only the start and ask questions, rather than declaring things as if you're some all knowing god... the problem is your posts often seem overly confident and authoritative as if you know what you're talking about when most of the time you do not, hence why people call you out)

Sounds like you're just strafing in the opposite way and cancelling your momentum
Afterglow has some old videos which I found helpful while starting out which show his keyboard presses live with the video, if you hold the strafe key while doing a wall shot you will definitely slow your momentum down cause you really only strafe when you want to move back towards the wall while facing forward (then you turn towards the wall and shoot). Not sure he has an example of alternating walls but understanding the mechanics for one wall you can apply it to two walls by switching between strafing right and strafing left at the right timings. When learning I found it was much easier to watch good jumpers and try to replicate their inputs, vs jumping entirely on my own and being led astray by a bunch of silly mistakes that I don't notice

ggs (except to cadet u suck)
also hedge is a savant so hes not wrong about that but also, Fear

should try to collab with officerreekz to get all the povs with comms on the same channel

seems a little weird to have hitscan just pass through your teammates lol how bullshit would it be if as a medic u get headshot by a sniper standing behind a blob of ppl

i can see projectiles going thru them but idk about hitscanning something that u cant even see bc a teammate is in the way

well played tasheem n friends

cursed.org

RGL is only for na lol what are u talking about
