I think the tf2center people are WAY past the point where anyone sane will try to help them in their effort. They're insufferable, childish, rude people and there's little hope to fix the absolute mess of a system they have with our words. So, introducing an alternative competitor could do one of two things: force tf2center to get better staff and have better policy OR give us a thing that isn't tf2center to play lobbies on.

Both are better options than what we have now.

Yeah I'm 90% sure about that. I will run some tests today I guess. (Either way it's always better to run at a lower resolution instead of using mat_viewport).

That's a regional thing. Where I live, "Kaidus's" is correct because the "s" at he end of "Kaidus" does not make it plural.

iirc, mat_viewport does nothing to help your frames. try with and without and compare your fps.

Got a new PC and was finally able to test your (and other peoples') claims (not the reason i got the new pc, but a good little bonus).

Looks pretty much exactly the same as x264 on anything lower than "veryfast".

Also, more tutorials coming soon because now I can actually have a decent workflow because I don't have a five year old entry level gaming PC anymore. So yeah, get hypee etc

I think it's safe to say that we as a community should move away from the current TF2Center. I personally think major staff changes should be put into place rather than try to shift to a different website, though. The ammount of effort put into tf2center is huge, and to throw the (seriously impressive) functionality and infrastructure of tf2center away is crazy imo.

Honestly, just get a group of new admins to run the place from a PR standpoint, and have the technically inclined people stay doing work on the website. The "LALALA WE CAN'T HEAR YOU" vibe that I'm getting from the staff is absolutely childish and needs to change if they want their website to stay populated-- especially considering the impending MM update.

Truth is, it would take a considerable amount of time to get a service up and running that could replace tf2center. Sure, there are great pug websites, but they just aren't ready to deal with 500+ people of such varying skill levels.

wtf that's terrifying

that hud is looking sick so far. i'm not a huge fan of the scoreboard though (seems absolutely huge and could be made much smaller and easier to glance at)

Would perform well on any mid open team, and probably could hold her own on a playoff bubble team if she keeps up at the rate of improvement she's shown over this last season.

PUT ME IN

ty for doing this, man

i'd much rather watch people try to make nice, clean videos with discernible frags than watch what you posted. ignoring criticism and instead calling out others shows you have no desire to respond to/ improve from that criticism. which means you posting this thread was literally just self promotion.

yes. the colors don't make any sense, there were only two frags, and the video leaves me feeling more confused than entertained.

to me "artsy af" (and even just "artsy") insinuates some sort of meaning. the point of art is to display some sort of human emotion or trigger some sort of response. this was just grainy, wiggly, meh frags with an awkward title and not enough length.

this may come off as rude, but i really don't like when people throw the word "art" around as an excuse for making random pointless stuff (edit: by all means keep making videos and stuff if this is what you like, but this video wasnt worth making a thread imo)

that is the most mangachu play i've ever seen

There's still thousands of dollars on the line. I'm all for trying this out after this season, but allowing this in playoffs is crazy.
