In terms of not knowing what you want to do, don't worry about that. Most people never know what they want to do as such and just move from thing to thing. I certainly do. Focus on your short term goals instead if you don't have a big plan - like I wanted to live abroad so I made it happen. Don't worry about the big picture of what you should be doing with your life or whatever. It will only make you anxious. Focusing on smaller things like getting fit, making friends, getting a job somewhere decent, etc. etc. will be better for you imo.

Obviously try and improve your useful skills and work in industries that are lucrative or you enjoy, but don't overly pressure yourself if you don't have a career path all figured out at whatever presumably young age you are.

On the friends thing, having hobbies that allow you to meet people is good. Once you're out of school it can be difficult to meet new friends - the key is to just get yourself out there and in situations where you can meet people. Get back in touch with people you used to know too. Could be a little awkward but if you have nothing to lose, so what?

I also think you should take a shitload of self damage if you shoot a rocket launcher into an enemy that is essentially pressed right up against you. As I said in the thread about the changes, it feels like a get out of jail free card for soldiers when you've ended up in what should be a bad position. I know it's annoying when some scout eats your direct and one shots you when you meet round a corner, but then you should prefire corners or whatever. Essentially this change means that instead of enemies waddling into soldiers to cause a lot of self damage, soldiers can walk into enemies to do lots of damage without taking much. Seems arbitrary.

Imo, the gunboats are for rocket jumping only.

Only tiny, minor drawback to that is that it's actually not a door.

Part of the TF2 comp experience and rite of passage is getting owned by better (in this case open) teams, until you are the better team.

Though you still get owned by better French mixes.

Dear Sir:

I have been requested by the Nigerian National Petroleum Company to contact you for assistance in resolving a matter. The Nigerian National Petroleum Company has recently concluded a large number of contracts for oil exploration in the sub-Sahara region. The contracts have immediately produced moneys equaling US$40,000,000. The Nigerian National Petroleum Company is desirous of oil exploration in other parts of the world, however, because of certain regulations of the Nigerian Government, it is unable to move these funds to another region.

You assistance is requested as a non-Nigerian citizen to assist the Nigerian National Petroleum Company, and also the Central Bank of Nigeria, in moving these funds out of Nigeria. If the funds can be transferred to your name, in your United States account, then you can forward the funds as directed by the Nigerian National Petroleum Company. In exchange for your accommodating services, the Nigerian National Petroleum Company would agree to allow you to retain 10%, or US$4 million of this amount.

However, to be a legitimate transferee of these moneys according to Nigerian law, you must presently be a depositor of at least US$10,000 in a Nigerian bank which is regulated by the Central Bank of Nigeria.

If it will be possible for you to assist us, we would be most grateful. We suggest that you meet with us in person in Lagos, and that during your visit I introduce you to the representatives of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company, as well as with certain officials of the Central Bank of Nigeria.

Please call me at your earliest convenience at 18-467-4975. Time is of the essence in this matter; very quickly the Nigerian Government will realize that the Central Bank is maintaining this amount on deposit, and attempt to levy certain depository taxes on it.

Yours truly,

Prince Alyusi Islassis

Fucking hell Sprite man, I hope things begin to look up for you asap.

edit:

it is kind of annoying to rocket a scout as you turn a corner, do 100 to yourself, and he one shots you with his first shot.

But then, it also kind of makes sense that you also take a fuck load of damage from shooting a body pressed pretty much against you with a rocket launcher. How much damage would you now take with gunboats in this scenario then?

I'm not sure that this fix is quite in line with the intention of the gunboats (to aid mobility right?) and feels like a bit of a get out of jail free card, but i guess it's worth testing.

All the other fixes seem like no brainers. Good shit.

The logic I used, but everyone tells me I'm stupid for doing it.

Mould made good points.

For me personally, I wish I'd learned that changing sens will massively hold me back (amongst other things) from improving. Especially changing back and forth every day or two, in scrims, in dm, constantly. Even now I need to pick a sens and just stick with it for a long time. CHanging it both stops my muscle memory and takes me focus away from the cerebral side of the game. At least I know it now and am trying to break the habit.

I guess another would be to not think about div so much when judging player quality or my own quality. I could be carried in a div2 team and it wouldn't make me div 2 quality. I guess relating to Mould's point, basically just don't think about that kind of thing and focus on whatever improvement I can make rather than thinking if i'm good enough to play at X level.

Well yeah actually. But a lot of sites/reviewers tend to recommend the one I opted for. I mean, I'm open to other suggestions, From what I gather, Ryzen is better value for money than intel at the lower/mid end and I guess Intel is best at high price points (which I don't want). SO i opted for a Ryzen and that one seems to be popular.

Feel free to recommend others. What would you suggest?

Okay cooler dropped. And I think you're right on the EVo from what I understand. So you suggest I overclock the cpu? I mean I could, if it's simple enough to do.

What about the power? Is 650 too much considering partpicker suggests it will use about 350. I assume overclocking uses more?

- Had it recommended to me by a friend and when I did some research it seemed to review really well. It's a good price too.

- I won't be overclocking any time soon, no.

- Ideally I'm looking to spend up to 1300 including monitor. 1500 is absolute max, but ideally 1000-1300. So any cost savings are appreciated.

-I'm probably going to order all the parts this weekend and build it when it all comes really. Hopefully by next weekend.

If I can save money and not have an extra cooler if I don't need it then then that's great. I'm not bothered about stuff like 4k and TF2 is the main game I play (though may play some AAA games tbh), so I also assume my GPU could be downgraded. Maybe an RX 5500 XT?

Yo, looking to buy a pc as I've moved abroad and don't have one. I'll basically use it to play TF2 (and probably stream a bit) and probably some AAA games with friends/games like Bannerlord if it ever comes out (but mostly Tf2). If a more portable or smaller case would work, that would be cool cause I may have to move apartments at some point, though I'm probably too shit at building to effectively manage a small case.

I've made a build on Partpicker and it would be good if someone could have a look and suggest any areas it can be improved ( more efficient, unnecessary stuff, cheaper options etc). I may have gone OTT on stuff like the GPU and power for all I know. I want that CPU so I built from there.

Any help much appreciated.
