From my experience, the ping can be as high as you want. Yes, the generally-agreed limit still applies, but what matters most is the stability of that latency.
That 150ms you have going is only going to be tolerable if you have a 150ms consistently. If each packet is jumping from low to high values, or you're dropping packets, it's straight-up not playable.

Thank you so much for doing this!

Absolutely worth the money, it's the most comfortable hoodie I have.

Shitposting aside, I can definitely empathize with the topic. The parent I lived with while getting into comp did not like that I was playing TF2, albeit for different reasons. What eventually helped alleviate this tension between us was going to, and organizing a LAN. This demonstrated initiative and independence, but also showed the people on the other side of the screen and why I enjoyed playing with them so much.
You don't need to organize an entire LAN by yourself, but contributing to the community and showing why you love it can work wonders.

Do volunteer service and eat Tide Pods.

I totally missed these posts since I haven't been checking up on here as much as I used to. I don't have any updates currently.

Yes, people affiliated with a college or university can get steep discounts on spaces on their respective campuses. If you are eligible for booking discounts at Sheridan, please let me know. Most preferably, if anyone is currently enrolled or affiliated with York, U of T, Ryerson, or George Brown, please PM me on Steam or Discord so we can talk.

Where was this posted, originally?

I am at a total loss for words right now. Given how Miggy talked to me in our last conversations, he seemed to have a sense this was coming, but I didn't believe it. To honour Miggy's life and spirit, the only thing coming to me is some sort of get-together tribute. That could be at RGB/FITES in March, or it could be sooner. Either way, flan will be served.

I find what matters more isn't your internet speed, but your connection. I always monitor the quality of my connection so I know what to expect. On Windows, you can do that by running this command in CMD: ping -t 8.8.8.8

That will show you how often you are receiving packets, and at what rate. If you are getting a consistent and low number (Say, 50ms or less) then you are totally fine to use "good connection" network settings. Even if you drop the occasional packet, which is inevitable on wifi, don't worry.

I get free Spotify with my phone plan!

Between Google Play and Spotify, the two i'm most familiar with, it comes down to where you use it the most.
Google Play has a better PC interface. Spotify has a better mobile interface.

Put me on an IM team :)

(But seriously, I'll play if someone needs me)

Even though I have started working away from my computer and most of the internet for the summer, I want to thank you guys for keeping this going. Up until I got this job, I was really hoping I'd be able to help carry this torch, but a job is a job. But, thanks to you, there are still people willing to carry on the spirit of TF2. It warms my heart to know I can come home after three months on a rock and this community is still here.

Glad to see there's still interest. I am currently working on some sweet graphics and scouting out venues. I am currently aiming for early September. I have pushed the date from June as I had said to people earlier due to health and work.
