comp people hate it because they think it's the main reason why they can't make a living out of playing this game and how it caused the infamous ow exodus
casuals hate it because it influenced valve into adding casual/comp mm which naturally got rid of quickplay and accesing valve servers through the server browser
everyone combined hates them because they're competing with daddy valve and how dare your corporation challenge my favorite corporation
i hate it because, if we are ignoring how vile actbliz is, they have yet to make a good game in the last 12 to 20 years (depending who you ask)

idk about y'all but if i was in charge of tf2 updates i would fuck the economy up on purpose because it's funny
revert the quickswitch thing, again
add like more unusual unusuals, call them mysticals or something
make keys in the store like 15 dollars
rerun rare crates
renable the 100% chance unusuals
be able to sell your comp medals
etc etc

just lock the thread at this point there's not even bait on the hook it's just the hook and y'all keep falling for it
before you lock look at this cool thing i did in tboi https://streamable.com/7dw5z8

to be a bit more serious about your post, tf2 does require a different set of skills compared to cs or a moba. like a csgo player will probably struggle trying to do the most basic rocket jumps or know how to play demoman besides just trapping a choke. but tf2 players will also probably struggle trying to do spray patterns at the heat of the moment or know granade physics/spots or any other skills that cs players have been honing for more than a decade at this point

i just find it silly to think about it in a way of "oh THIS game takes SO MUCH MORE SKILL than this other game". you could maybe argue this with games that are so similar like tf2/ow and csgo/val but for something as different as csgo, or a moba, or rocket league or whatever other electronic sport you can think of, i just find the discussion a bit pointless and potentially just a place for people to jerk off about "yeah i spent so much time into a game that has yet reward me for my training, but at least i am more skilled than s1mple"

peak autofellatio thread

they fucked up so bad they didn't even get the top player privilege of being able to sweep stuff under the rug

to be a contrarian to this post if there are any comp tf2 players with a porn addiction i WILL jerk you off

be honest with yourselves y'all wouldn't notice if it's blands or sultry in the map pool y'all are just gonna play snake and process again

probably gonna try doing this later

stuff is pretty vanilla afaik, window manager is muffin, drivers are wayland 515.65.01, config is mastercoms medium-low, launch options are same as mastercom's recc

-novid -nojoy -nosteamcontroller -nohltv -particles 1 -precachefontchars -noquicktime -freq 144 -w 1920 -h 1080 -fullscreen

hard to say so far but mouse movements definitely feel different, and at least stickies feel better on a local server so take this with a grain of salt
i already deleted the outdated library a while ago

leaning towards this being a mint issue if anything since other games have felt slightly sluggish (but far from unplayable) which is a shame, thankfully booting up windows takes like less than a minute atlhough still an incovinience compared to just booting up steam and clicking play on tf2
