ok makes sense. The hosting phrasing threw me off

I went to this in 2020 and it was sick. Same weekend as the supposed tf2 lan though right?

sourcemod is broken currently, so no server access til its fixed

artist is OUR champion

we were here

Pretty sure this rule was made for this exact reason. Surprised they keep coming back, unless the rule is just being ignored

Yikesss... someone's gotta tell them

It might be worth reconsidering the length of the ban until its either patched out or the plug-in itself is directly addressed at a rules level. I'm sure there are plenty of people using it without knowing, which is unfair to those who were hunted down for it/those who are hurt directly by it (spy mains mostly)

Good at the game, puts a lot of effort and time in to back it up. Worth his own on any team :)

of course

Hey man, hope you're doing alright. There's no cut and dry answer for this type of thing, at some point the only way to make a change is active effort that starts with you. You have to want it and be good enough to yourself to stick with it and not let yourself slump into familiar habits. Try structuring your schedule and and really pushing yourself to stick to it until you develop a routine, such as when you sleep or make a point to go outside each day. I echo what others said in here regarding intramural sports being the best type of social club when you're not in school, I know I ended up trying a few before settling on krav maga but I know a lot of folks try ultimate frisbee or hiking for easy entry. The biggest thing is picking something with a relatively set schedule where you can expect to see the same social group each time, rather than something you have to push yourself to do on your own time (i.e. starting a gym routine, which is solid for structure but not so much socially). Do you play any instruments? Community music groups or even taking lessons are something else that can be fun. What about bar trivia, board game groups, or perhaps hobby groups? For me personally, I had to scale away from TF2 in order to truly be able to invest myself in other things, as the scene/grind to get better were hard for me to separate from and balance while attempting to do other parts of my life. Not everyone is like that of course, since you can absolutely balance both aspects of your life if you're disciplined. Just know that others have been in your shoes before and you're definitely not alone. Best of luck, you got this.

Ayy Phoenix crew. There are a few of us still active

A+ name, love it

Nice guy, wicked dm

Fantastic teammate and an awesome person to be around. She has a wealth of knowledge and years of perspective/experience at her back, not to mention the best engineer out there :)

The frequency has definitely gone up.. I mean, it's not lagging/crashing servers anymore, but I think we've been kicking a new hacker every 2 minutes in each pub we join. The micspam is an annoying addition
