can't speak for the original dude but for potato pc's/laptops it raises fps (probably does nothing if you have a desktop gpu from 2012+ lol)

i don't think ppl really argue that arrows and going fast aren't fun/interesting/engaging/some other adjective, just that it's bad for 6's. personally my biggest gripe was arrows was that i could just rely on them and not learn heal order at all or anything more "medic-like", but i'm open so take that with a grain of salt

anyway unpopular opinion: i like the risk/reward dynamic you actually have to consider when pushing on payload (and koth to a certain smaller extent), the risk being failing the push, reward being better time overall. i find that in 5cp it's really not too punishing if you play overly safe, in fact always playing safe might be the right call because of how the timer/rounds work

overall though i think push/pull dynamic of 5cp overrides other game mode benefits, but man some stalemates can get pretty boring

daredevil is great except for the fucking ninjas

i think the only time pyro was used seriously outside of some 5cp lasts was breaking viaduct forward holds? no idea if froyo still uses this strat though

logo looks a lot nicer without the red/blood-like decal splatter behind i dig it

i'll extend this to generally when the patch notes say one thing but the gameplay is completely different

I think the only true statement here is that the angle of airblast is factored in (maybe airblast being a cone, haven't tested), everything else is the opposite of what the patch notes says it should be. somehow made it even worse to play against.

edit: i guess reduced footing meaning turning the map into an ice rink is also true but seems a bit extreme considering how its worded

shit i used to think that cheating in ugc was bad but now i know that u get the plus of avoiding highlander and just going straight to esea i'm starting to have some thoughts...

throw in my 2 cents, i'd totally be willing to donate for all the effort you've put in but i'm also really really against subscription based services (perhaps scarred by forgetting to unsubscribe from esea premium....) one-shot donation would be greatly preferable, mastercomfig+ would be cool also but i dont really play the game anymore so that's not really the main appeal for me personally

sick edit but i think in the future having the crosshair would be nice (especially for scout frags)

-r_emulate_gl def. breaks esea

i have so many friends in the tf2 community at this point i usually autoblock anybody that i have 0 mutual friends with

following that if they have a female alias + profile picture i block them also + it gets rid of degens so win/win imo

this hud is fire but if anybody asks me what hud i'm using i'm gonna say pigby's hud i actually refuse to say uwui

last i heard duolingo was really really bad for chinese and other asian languages iirc

pleco is rlly good can't believe i forgot it

@zensanity best resources would really depend on your current level of proficiency and what you want to do with the language

Lingodeer/Hello Chinese/ChineseSkill I believe are usually recommended?

100% make sure you nail pinyin and pronunciation first though, particularly stuff that isn't in your native language (which I'm going to assume is English). Good luck, chinese is a bitch

edit: don't know much about textbooks I'm afraid, hopefully somebody else can provide

like 20% of the time my iphone alarms just straight up don't go off, I tested it today and woke up before my alarm was set to go off and it never did, fucking ios
