The first time I tried getting into competitive TF2, the gunboats were banned and I thought that was dumb so I didn't get into competitive TF2.

Four or five years later I started playing on a competitive-oriented pub server very consistently, and after 250 games of matchmaking in the beta I knew I wanted to play 6s, so I formed an esea-open team.

edit: my first MM game in the first stress test was on everyone's favorite competitive TF2 map, ctf_doublecross.

now that I'm thinking about it, the AUGH-EGH-UUUGH-EEGH-UAAGH-NNNGH-EUGH whenever Scouts build uber by bleeding themselves is godawful on the ears

who thought 15 scout pain voicelines in a row with a half-second cooldown was a good idea

You can even have a set of binds like "ds_mark airshot" and "ds_mark med-drop" on your numpad cuz the bookmarker in Demo Support supports comments.

Yeah, the search for a user works but then there's no actual link to pay for their premium once the search finds them. Their ESEA user page doesn't have it either.

I hope there's an easier way besides having to login as the teammate I'm paying for, as I imagine a lot of teams don't have every member paying their own fees themselves immediately.

re: domestic american beers
I only drink inexpensive pilsners and lagers and wheat beers cuz I'm a plebeian who can't stand the bitterness of hops. Lionshead and Yuengling are good, the former you can get a 6-pack of 16-oz cans for $5.75 in my neighborhood.

I don't use scripted autoheal cuz I'm afraid of flashing uber on a spy like ondkaja

Side mouse button with lshift as a backup like most people, but I also have the same mouse button toggle my viewmodels so it sometimes gets disorienting.

a challenge to the next generation of tf2 fanfic writers: try to make it sound like you've had sex before

I love drinking water! I enjoy finding the people at parties who are visibly approaching dehydration and sickness and offering to guide them to a source of cold, refreshing, life-giving water. They really appreciate it!

I love Nursey and want to see Nursey succeed in high Invite but I love bird noises more. why must you do this to me ;_;

what the heck is a twitter relationship

man, back in my day, people only took benzos if they were having a bad trip/panic attack or were actively trying to kill themselves.
