the road to recovery. Some context

https://i.imgur.com/dqzV1Cw.jpg

Didn't want to post some of the pictures where you can tell how skinny she is atm in case some people are sensitive to that. But if you look at her back legs/hips you can see the outlines of her bone structure just to give you an idea. The wound on her nose has some dirt in it, but seems to be healing just fine so we're going to leave it as is

I assume she was stuck in a basement or something. A lot of construction sites nearby

One of the things my cat liked to do more than anything in the past is just sitting in the bathroom upstairs. No reason. She just likes to bother me until I open the door downstairs so she can get into the hallway where the stairs are.

I wanted to open the door to the hallway (to go to the store for some cat food) and she managed to sneak into the hallway with me. She started to try to climb the stairs. She was struggling a lot but when I tried to support her she sort of flinched to show she wanted to do it herself. She ended up climbing almost to the top, but ran out of energy completely at the final 4 steps. I carried her up the final steps and put her in the bathroom. She enjoyed a quick victory rest after I carried her downstairs again. I'm very proud

Just to add some context, she basically has no more muscle tissue left. She's a very fluffy cat, but even with the fluff she looks like a skeleton. I only feel bone when i try to pet her or carry her. If you'd see her right now you wouldn't think she'd even climb a single stair, but somehow she almost did it. I'm crying lads. I'm so fucking proud of this persistent motherfucker

A lot of pets had gone missing in our neighborhood, including many cats. Chickens of our neighbour being killed and our bunnies disappearing, alongside at least 1 fox living in the park close to my house basically confirmed a fox was killing pets to feed a nest it has. I thought my cat was also killed

She used to be very slightly overweight, now she's thinner than my forearm. She has multiple wounds on her face including a major impact wound on her nose and a minor laceration on her ear. and no energy left in her body. I'm glad she didn't give up the fight. She's very scared, but she's safe. She puked all over the carpet but that's fine

on the subject of PJC he's also one of the best half-life map runners https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LTrZT4QhGSo

Some friends of mine. Some might recognize their names from hanging out in budsquad members' streams back in the day.

https://www.speedrun.com/gotham_city_impostors Albean (Dead category but it counts. also a cool dude. real life took over I think)

There's a couple more i know of, but most have quit TF2. I don't want to flood the thread with people that don't play anymore

i61 for being the first time I met the best friends I've ever had

copenhagen games 2019 was amazingly convenient. The entire event is so enjoyable with the entire TF2 crowd sitting together (not an option at insomnia due to BYOC being a free-for-all and seperated from the viewing area)

Swelan was also great, but mostly for the social aspect. We had like 40 TF2 people sitting in a tiny kitchen at the hostel all night having fun. Only real issues were getting noise complaints (understandably) and at some point a group of people stole food from the regular residents (The owner of the hostel was really upset at some people and had to lock the kitchen for the final night)

A fox killed my cat and 2 bunnies

Hi I'm back with another nerd essay. I'll be using some recently posted fragvids to get my point across. Hope you don't mind

there goes my trial...

The thing Team Fortress 2's competitive scene needs to gather the attention of sponsors and Valve is doing it with a new promotion that makes Team Fortress 2 look much more like a competitive platform than an online-only MOBA. Starting today, Team Fortress 2 players can get in free matches on Twitch and in the next two weeks, Team Fortress 2's two premier Twitch streamers will be getting in free matches with the League Champions Korea roster. This promotion isn't limited to only the two players from the two top streamers right now however. As if that wasn't exciting enough, there's also another promotion in store for all League Champions Korea players, including several players who have been part of the Korean scene for awhile and will be returning! The League Champions Korea Players Team Dignitas And IEM New York team Evil Geniuses will be partaking in an even bigger promotion this January: they will get a free match against each other

incorrect actually. It definitely helps, but it's not going to ban someone instantly because 1 person reported them. Not seeing an instant result doesn't mean nothing's happening.

Whether or not that deters cheaters or prevents alts from being made is a different story though
