This is how hazmat for sniper looks, thanks for keeping class silhouettes valve.
edit: ok it seems to keep the default hat on in reality so it's slightly not as bad

Just wondering, when valve optimizes the game do you guys think it will be a massive update at once for it or will it just be over time? Cause I feel like in the past 3ish months my FPS has been getting slightly better (could just be placebo tho idk).

I'm honestly curious how people find these weird bugs in the game. Like if anyone could explain how these people continue to find small errors in the code and report them to valve, that'd be pretty cool

I don't care, that's hilarious.

Maybe we can sneak other stuff by them too, like a Gullywash update (I wish).

realistically the person doing the model shit is just someone who does the QC for workshop or w/e and has spare time since there's no big updates that need art assets in the pipeline rn

all they're doing is keeping someone on retainer who otherwise would be doing jack shit

So apparently other workshop contributors are super pissed at the Hazmat person for a) remodelling an item shittily on purpose without their co-contributor's permission since his co-contributor actually modelled it & b) fear for Valve no longer accepting cosmetic fixes due to breach of trust & because of proclaiming they did it for teh lulz, you know despite how Valve do need to basically look at it and say "yeah let's add it" or "no this is shit".

Meanwhile everybody else either finds it hilarious or people are shitting themselves over Valve's quality control (which whether or not it was ever there is probably subjective opinion).

Why do I get a feeling that it's valve being valve and just counter trolling the troll and the entire community at the same time?

It makes your head look like you're a pyro. Makes sense for people to be worried if they think that in the future Valve may allow more of this to the point that it becomes extremely difficult to differentiate classes
