yeah my thing is, if someone says something that i find offensive or hurtful... i just don't play with them anymore?

like no one is making me play w/ folks that say racist stuff/ gay slurs/ transphobic shit/ etc. there are great ppl @ every level. there are also terrible ppl @ p much every level

i actually think the lack of lans has made some folks forget that we're all, like... friends? ty for the apology mods. y'all are cool but also humans who are capable of messing up. cant wait to buy u drinks at whatever tf the next lan that happens is

the most fun 5 seconds i've ever had in competitive was a heavy bomb in an ESEA-O match

ibuprofen

better safe than sorry when the twice-a-year headache rolls around

i peaked at 100 hours every two weeks towards the end of high school and had a blast doing it

realized i was getting addicted when it was hurting me in college. that's what most ppl i'm assuming are happy about that are sharing smaller numbers now.

also, this thread is full of boring ass q's. my q for habib: who in competitive tf2 do you dislike the most? what player just makes you mad/annoyed/wanna dc?

as one of the admins that has to harass literally everyone i've ever played with in tf2 on fridays for newbie mixes
