It says social liberalism for me, a little left of center.

There is also a big issue with how sloppy the law itself is written and what could be made of it with the new amendment as opposed to being against trans rights. Here he goes over how bad the wording is and there is concern about what those laws could end up doing.

Its definitely something needing consideration.

There are two major things you are leaving out that the community has more control over than getting Valve to push competitive. The thing people really need to do is address how many players feel the game is stale and its lack of an ability to get people to watch despite being one of the most popular games on Steam.

There really needs to be a change in how competitive is played. Both to keep people playing interested and in getting people interested in actually watching the game. There is great fun to be had in competitive TF2 but for many people it lacks the variety to keep them interested. Hence why you see high level players take seasons off, play highlander, drop to a lower division to play with weird unlocks or finally just leave for Overwatch.

After talking to different people on twitch in TF2 streams many just people aren't interested in watching the matches get played. They know competitive exists but they don't watch because most of the time they think its boring. If a format is found that is both acceptable to players and more interesting to viewers you'd be much further along. Valve isn't a charity, they aren't going to heavily invest in competitive TF2 if they don't see viewers which they can get enough advertising dollars from. Sure maybe its not the pinnacle you feel the current 6s meta is but you'd still be able to play your favorite game in a healthier state than it is now, and the community will have more say in how to proceed in this than waiting on Valve to make the changes you want.

There is a free version of the game now for people to play it, its been a bit busier recently because of it. Its a very fun game for anyone who is a fan of Unreal.

Overwatch is probably the most fun in a shooter I've had in several years. I was skeptical of the ults at first but they are fun and for the most part take some skill to use them effectively;there is great satisfaction for using yours well or shutting down an enemy one. After some pugs I'm definitely interested in playing it competitively. Its nice to play something with similar teamwork demands as TF2 that feels unique yet familiar.

I think demo is too strong.

Good luck AG, you're swell people!

What was it about the jumping and surfing that people enjoyed so much? I honestly was expecting them to be on the remove list.
