I hope they keep Reckoner. Genuinely good map, it was just rough because there aren't a lot of resources about how tf to play it, so I had to go ask a real European gamer.

Disagree. It's really easy to check Steam profiles for questionable content, takes like a minute or two, and often saves me even letting in a weirdo to begin with.

I run a closed PUG group that has some outliers but targets the NC/AM/IM demographic. Based on my experience running and player feedback, I think some qualities of a good PUG server are:

• Gatekeeping: I decide who gets in, and I do my best to make sure that new additions aren't bigoted in or out of the server
  
• Heavy moderation: I talk to people privately if they behave poorly, (snide remarks, bullying noobs, malding, etc) and remove if there's no attempt to improve. Bigotry is addressed publicly to assure players that it isn't tolerated and will be dealt with appropriately (doubles as a teachable moment; personal growth > punishment if possible)
  
• Emphasis on sportsmanship, patience + teaching with newer players, and encouragement/runner assistance with drafting even teams

I think my time and energy for this kind of moderation is higher than most, so I don't necessarily expect it from other PUG servers, but the result is a chill server with a community that cares about itself and fosters friendships. It's really rewarding when more casual players demonstrably improve in 6v6 through the group or make connections and join teams, too.

tl;dr I like when I don't have to worry about someone running permajumper, screaming on mic, being exhaustingly passive aggressive, or saying slurs.

Didn't have the opportunity to snag any as a kid, so I've been scouring the internet to try to find any now. Was able to find meet the teams for sniper, demoman, scout, and sniper v spy update poster. My holy grails are definitely medic, pyro (sunset variant), and that black and white Aperture Labs Portal 2 concept art, but I'm interested in seeing what anyone may have lying around that they'd be willing to part with.

Shut the FUCK up, dude. A 26 year old man has way more experience and a fully matured brain vs a fucking freshly 18 year old girl. It's not a "matter of opinion", my GOD. Leave kids alone. Get help.

EDIT removed some personal details idk if they are public

Man, I don't go here, and I don't know any confirmed/intimate details about this, but "she wanted it" isn't the defense you think it is. It's an adult's responsibility to say no to a child/minor showing romantic/sexual interest.

Chuy's is okay (got em up in Dallas) but you can undoubtedly do better with a local place. Haven't been out to Houston, but if you (or anyone else) ever end up in Dallas, Trompo in Bishop Arts is incredible.

tbh
just call yourself Indecision and permanently alias

Hey, I live here. Can't wait to get owned IRL.

I know very little about HUDs, but I like as much information as possible near my crosshair for the easiest visibility, so I was wondering if something like this would be possible? And/or how to do it. Basically a tiny version of the spectator HUD (in addition to the one at the top) displayed as little pips.

i played like 1 game with him and he seemed turbo chill, big-brained and patient, 10/10

found! ty

I've heard that it's him but I figure using his name is just giving him the attention he so desperately wants.

Hey, idk if there is somewhere better to mention this or if you've already been notified, but some loser is uploading a bunch of doctored logs with slurs n nonsense.

Great DM and movement, clear comms, doesn't feed, doesn't hesitate. Not immune to tilt, but he takes it seriously if you talk to him about it.

I think he'll perform the best with equally dedicated players who value and work towards good player communication and a healthy team mentality. (But I would recommend this for everyone.)
