vegas is bad at this kind of thing, even computers that can absolutely handle it in theory (ryzen 3950x/rtx3090 still chugs when i have a moderate number of things happening at once). i've been using vegas professionally since the middle of last year, and i've lost hundreds of dollars in productivity cause it just blows (it's a side hustle tho so i cant be bothered to learn anything else)

here's what's made it marginally better for me:
- shift-b to prerender sections with transitions/effects
- changing the quality to "Draft (auto)"
- make sure you have hardware acceleration on and your most recent gpu drivers
- if you're on vegas pro, turn off "smart resample"
- accept that it's gonna be bad, take a deep breath, and use your imagination

Post your bizarre rollouts that you love. Weird paths, memes, etc. Bonus points for rollouts that are harder but not better.

I'll start with my MLG gullywash pocket rollout. (Medics hate it!)

if you're affected by these rules, you should take the two weeks off to reevaluate how you treat other people ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

general dislike for rgl admining aside, this is an obvious move forward

Yes, but you can come play hitscan if your ping isn't too bad. You can also spectate our weekly games or join our discord (http://discord.newbie.tf/).

As someone who has experienced hundreds of people casually appreciating work that I was doing in comp tf2 back in the day with a dozen or so people that felt seemingly abject hatred toward me for some reason, it's not something that most people are capable of just "shaking off". It really really hurts, and I can only imagine that is intensified when that minority is literally hundreds/ thousands of people.

Just wondering to those that have played this for a while in actual games: does the "uncanny valley" feeling of this map mess with anyone else as much as it does me?

This is obviously not a criticism or anything, rather an observation. After spending hundreds (potentially even 1k hours) of hours on the original map (my OG inhouse pug group played gully religiously back in '12-'14), something just feels deeply "off" when playing this new version. I felt this weird feeling of unease when it came up in DM before the cup yesterday, so much so that I had to go to another server.

Is this something that you guys have felt goes away after playing it for a bit?

edit: to clarify, I think what you're doing is amazing & this is not meant to say "i don't like it" or "let's stay in 2010 and never make anything better" lol. just want to see if this is a feeling felt by more folks than just me/ the couple other gamers i was in mumble with at the time

buuuuuunch of newbies tonight. really need two coaches rn
