Sad to see you go, damneasy. I fondly recall your performance on PE/happy farmers back in S23 and 24 even though I didn't generally follow ETF2L that closely. Good luck with your hobbies and personal life. :)

You could probably put the items you want to give away in a private scrap.tf raffle and just post the link in this thread.

we have this thread every 3 months. the lessons are: don't rely on valve for anything, and competitive 6s will always live on in some form as long as there is a community of people who like playing 6s.

you will probably never be able to make a living off playing TF2 if your name isn't b4nny, and that's ok.

congratulations to an american hero. very happy for her and I wish her all the best of life's pleasures

for those unaware, her disclosures of war crimes in Iraq directly helped lead to the withdrawal of U.S. troops in Iraq and the end (as it were) of the Iraq War:

In college I lived at this group house that had a partially sealed-off closet in the basement called the "Throw Closet". It was called that because drunk people at parties and house shows would throw glass beer bottles into the closet and they'd smash against the brick wall supporting the closet. Additionally, someone had dumped a bunch of smashed computer towers and monitors in there so it looked very much like a dystopian sci-fi movie set.

It had been there for at least a couple years prior to my move-in, and by that point was already, as a then-tenant put it, "a legitimate biohazard" because of all the organic matter (i.e. beer) that had been left to rot in a pile of broken glass for multiple years in a moderately humid basement. The residents eventually decided enough was enough and got masks and gloves and many boxes of contractor trash bags. They put all the sealed bags into one extremely overflowing trash can, which was left sitting in the basement outside the closet for at least 6 months. Eventually I made it my project to finally dispose of the throw closet remains, but was too weak to move a 200-pound trash can full of broken glass by myself, so I had to open some of the bags and transfer the hazardous contents to new, smaller bags.

After that experience, I can say that any household problem I've encountered since has felt very doable.

this is the only good thread in weeks

@OP: So your main complaint is that his admiration of the mass-murderer Elliott Rodger was mischaracterized as racism instead of violent misogyny? That's not a very compelling argument for his unbanning...

thanks geel, very generous

Great to see people working to incorporate more communities and players into competitive TF2. Great job!

I don't mean to be rude but you have to have read literally 0 books in your life to find the plots and philosophies explored in the Bioshock games elucidating or compelling

come up with it yourself or don't bother

it's possible to think that both criminalizing incorrect speech is wrong and that this guy is a blowhard not worth paying attention to. you guys don't have to immediately latch on to every half-baked loudmouth who offers even the slightest resistance to """identity politics""".

all the overblown reaction to college liberals is such a waste of time—tumblr teens have no power over anyone but other tumblr teens. save your energy for more worthy causes.
