I agree that in virtually every other context no non-Black person should tell you how to use/not use the N word. I think it becomes an issue in online spaces because not every player knows who you are or that you're Black; you can't see a player's skin color, so if someone has no idea who you are or what you look like, and all they see is the N word, they might assume that the league is fine with racism. I don't really know how they could resolve this unless they actually had predominantly white staff handing out N word passes after demanding to see the color of someone's skin. And if they somehow made that work and not be really awkward/bad optically, how would people who don't know you know that it's okay for you to say the N word? Would the league require a tag to denote your pass/skin color? I just don't know how it could possibly work and not cause other issues.

Thank you for the help, everyone!

I ended up asking Whisker about it, and he was able to pull the counter from deliHUDNeue and make it work in raysHUD for me. Here's the DL in case anyone else wants to use it: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1xUfB4A1FMYeRLKBUHa_xKn3xcQyqbNUM/view?usp=sharing

I know conceptually that you are better at math than me, but I don't understand why the thing you're saying is true.
If a medic spawns at 10:53, the average build time is 55s, so I would expect them to have close to 10:00. How are you getting a two minute difference?

I can add 20s to 30s because I know that 5 + 3 = 8, but if I have to add 20s to 55s and have to think about the sum rolling over into the next minute--but wait I'm supposed to subtract a minute--but I'm in the next minute now--I can't get my brain to work fast enough. I know this is objectively simple, I just cannot do it quickly. I probably could if I had a pencil and paper to write it down and look at it for a bit.

I don't know what this means

Self-diagnosis isn't always a Tumblr meme. Getting professionally diagnosed usually isn't trivial or inexpensive, and can even affect your likelihood of being employed (even if it's not supposed to lol). AFABs are also historically underdiagnosed. I don't really want to dump my personal info to justify myself to you, but I never graduated because I couldn't pass algebra. I held back tears during every math test, and my physics teacher told me after five attempts to explain a problem to me that he "didn't know how to help me" and gave up. I lost my job as a cashier in part because I couldn't handle actual money; I'd lose count every time I tried to give someone change, and customers had to help me do the math for them. I would be more shocked if I didn't have dyscalculia.

I tried to do the whole +15s -60s thing I mentioned earlier during a game and found that I just couldn't do it fast enough, especially with the whole rest of the game going on. If I'm not counting on my fingers for small sums, I'm still visualizing the side of a die in my head and counting the dots on it, which doesn't work for fast math in fast-paced games/while multitasking.

Basically, I want a more accurate way to count ubers...but I can't count.

I've been going by the feel of time and/or referencing my own build, so I have a decently accurate sense of where ubers should be, but I think being able to use an actual round timer for reference would get even better results?

I understand (because someone explained this to me lol) that, referencing the round timer and seeing when a medic spawns, I should just be able to add 15s and subtract a minute and get about the time the enemy should have full uber. I just can't actually do that mental math very quickly during a game.

I've considered having a phone timer set to 45s by my keyboard to just activate/reset, but I was curious to see if anyone had other ideas that might work better.

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.
