I really liked the Count of Monte Cristo (barnes and noble abridged edition). It has some of the coolest uses of dramatic irony in literature, and many of its original quirks are now common tropes. What books do you like? :]

try putting your res in launch options, so -w 1980 -h 1080. sry if this doesn't work

Your note about derivatives is why bunnyhopping is still technically possible in TF2. Because airstrafing is "non-holonomic," the increased total distance that comes guaranteed when you airstrafe translates into increasing or decreasing velocity and acceleration.

This might also explain why w-strafing is "worse" than A/D strafing: An A/D strafe keeps acceleration perpendicular to a player's current velocity because acceleration in Source is based on the keys you're pressing. So by strafing with A or D while moving in some velocity through the air, total distance is increased because you're turning through the air at a different angle than where you're currently headed. And because velocity and acceleration also presumably depend on distance in TF2, increasing your distance pathway through the air increases your velocity and acceleration while in the air as a result.

A W airstrafe, on the other hand, keeps velocity and acceleration together for the player. This results in smaller-angle movement through the air (you can't rotate your velocity as quickly with a w-strafe than with an A/D strafe), and a kind of "pulling feeling" back in the direction of your original rocket jump. These smaller angles result in less gained position in the air, which in turn causes less gained velocity and acceleration.

A/D strafe, where the black arrow is velocity and the red arrow is your strafe key: https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/1100293836530956311/3F5B008BE5788665344963CE8A73B904DE20092A/

We're one step closer to a training map where you can practice airshots vs bots that strafe like real players. Cool post!

I firmly agree with Young Sanity in this situation

editing because of mcats' post: It was not your place to decide who got to play and who didn't get to play. Of course I don't agree with Young Sanity being late, etc., but we established very early (see the team name) that Young Sanity was not going to be cut or "benched."

Young Sanity decided not to play the match because he was in too much pain. We won with a ringer

Dear scrim finders,

Go Raw, Revival! Titan Arc receives an F rating. They:
-took 15min to get more than 2 players joining the server
-pretended they had a ringer and told us to "ready he's joining"
-played 5v6 for 10 minutes
-finally baited our pregame after 30 minutes total, when one of their players rage quit (their nonexistent ringer never joined)

I don't know if this is a one-off, but proceed with caution...

^ 82 minute long match... longest in the season so far?

People forget that dictators are usually fairly popular among their people. Hitler, Stalin, and Mao were popular when they ruled, and modern dictators like Jinping and Kim have set new heights for dictator popularity.

Dictators often thrive off of popular support, and many are democratically elected in their first years. Plato said that "tyranny arises, as a rule, from democracy." Anyone who's interested in this sort of thing can look into the concept of the "legal (world) revolution."
