a hot take perhaps, but TFTV isn't the right place

Imo the right move for TFTV regulars is to drag abusers through the mud until their behavior is all that remains. Nursey, coyo, broking, dashner. Plenty more. Whatever they contributed at some point no longer matters. Now their name only reminds people of one thing

They can change their alias, change communities, but it will follow them whenever someone connects the dots

Taking things seriously inevitably results in people walking on egg shells discussing the situation. Silence is what helps them outrun the consequences. Protect the victims, ridicule the nonces

I've talked about being a victim before in some TFTV thread (it happened before I played TF2). Mostly on a whim. Behind the scenes I was approached by people showing me support. Some were TFTV regulars I'd not talked to prior. It was appreciated, but in reality I already had a social safety net with my close online friends to help me process things. Not all victims have this privilege ofcourse, but TFTV isn't the place to find or create one

I'm struggling to find an old video that was broadcasted during TF2 cast downtime for some time
It was dubbed by Bren and explained the basics of 5cp, uber and player advantages, etc for the newer comp audience

The visuals felt like a shounic video? not much gameplay, but it used the TF2 color palette and simple graphics to explain things

Got to hang out with him a bit at CPH and would like to echo what Mia posted
Seemed like a genuine and nice person who felt happy seeing his legacy still persisted
He won't be forgotten for a long time

it is always worth it to buy 144hz if there's a good deal. Plenty 144hz deals these days with 240hz becoming the new standard. companies will slowly clear out stock of older 144hz models

it's worth if your pc can't even handle 60 fps. you can upgrade other specs later
Lock the monitor to 60fps in the off chance you don't like the experience on low specs, then unlock to 144 when you upgrade the CPU etc

On 144hz I visually noticed when TF2 drops to below 110 fps. but that's still almost double of 60, so still better
For me, going from 144 to 240 wasn't really noticeable, but the 60 to 144 transition was huge

in EU we tested it during a cup (alongside gas passer and meme spoon). some funnies were done like skybox demoman rollout, probably the "best" use case. It was unbanned and nobody used it after. Been multiple seasons now

RGL still has some actually strong meta-shifts like loch n load (same slot as base jumper).
So using a base jumper demo would be an even bigger loss in NA than EU

NA soldiers don't seem fond of giving up gunboats. They're not even running battalion's backup on last stalemates afaik. If they go parachute before learning that, they're throwing
