I am death merchant in that shitty game mode and all I can tell you is that:
1) meet your match happened in 2016, whatever "blood" on our hands that you're referring to is 9 years old
2) valve isn't listening to anybody as the game hasn't had a real, serious update to internal balance since 2017
3) competitive players DID play it at the time, and valve didn't make any changes then either. Tons of people played, and before long the entire game mode was wiped out because the cheaters in it were so rampant to the point that it was entirely unplayable. Bots continued to run up competitive matchmaking YEARS after it died in the regular playerbase, to include the casual community that don't come here to talk about game balance.

please update your frame of reference, it's not 2016 anymore and the game isn't going to change because we didn't queue up enough in something with no game balance when there were already better, pre-existing options that we could play instead.

bless up I can't wait to watch, always top tier production coming from cappingtv

it's still possible and is generally better to learn how to do them manually so you can decide when to ctap when its optimal, but even with that this ban just negates a way that I can do them consistently without twisting my hand in horrible ways or completely relearning how to jump with different binds. It's not necessary and just makes soldier harder to play, when it's already one of the harder classes to find real value on at higher skill levels where this tech is more necessary

Going to Sharks games in year of our lord 2025 is a practice in seeing how badly you can see somebody get beat up before you feel bad about it
Not sure how to go back to 2016 though so being from san jose is just like that now i guess

ngl man I went through your logs.tf page and after clicking for about 30 seconds I wasn't able to find a single log where you went positive anyway lmfao

we should discuss the difference between trolling as an epic own and maybe just realizing to yourself that you're really just not that good at playing the game

If I had a wishlist towards a pro mod, in-game player QoL is obviously important. But I'm imagining things that might make production easier, and there's a couple of things that come to mind. If we could have tools like CastingEssentials built into the game, it would make it WAY easier to configure before streams, or for newer casters to get involved. Native support for multiple huds, more options for customization without having to go down config rabbit holes, all of these things seem like no-brainer level positives. I know the PASSTIME group already have ideas in mind for bug fixes for their game as well, which cause a lot of grief for anybody trying to produce for that game mode too

I don't know if this "valve's last update" type of update but outside of seasonal hat additions it probably is. Whoever is going to be in charge of this project has a lot of work and expectations from the community, and they shouldn't take that lightly.

This is going to sound crazy, but I've been struggling since I got this monitor a couple of years ago with a burn-in problem, which only burns in when I sit in-game (for TF2 only!) and goes away after there are enough moving elements on my screen for a while, like if I start actively playing or watch a video for an extended period of time. I've included some pictures of the problem here and here.

Does anybody know why an IPS monitor would be burning in for solely TF- no other games or platforms do this. Also, I have to take pictures of the burn-in with my phone because it doesn't show up on a screen capture or OBS recording. Thanks!

caption ammomod and then you post an endif pic instead... clickbait

RIP to the best CS update ever with the ragdolls launching themselves across the map

I’m so hyped everything is coming together. Siyo said it best that we’re trying to be by the community for the community, and this event should be no different
that being said cu@ and we may have some more exciting announcements coming up

Adjustable legs are a bit overrated, especially if you don't really care about ergonomics as much (or are just on a tighter budget) but facebook marketplace is your best friend in either of those cases. Sounds like giving the malm to your girlfriend is already the best move no matter what happens, you just should probably upgrade yours in the meantime.

Pretty much anything when it comes to desks are secondary in comparison to being sturdy and looking good, height usually gets changed with an adjustable chair so you shouldn't have to worry about that. If something is nice but not well kept after, maintaining desks that are made of actual wood is still easier and worth more than buying one made of IKEA wood and having to replace parts entirely over time

editing to say that if anything else look into getting a deeper desk, 30 inches was a game changer for me over 23

This both looks bad and also simultaneously really unergonomic for office work

I know what red bull are doing to checo is kind of fair when his teammate is verstappen but the two people that they're considering replacing him with are usually worse so I don't really get it

not sure how it is in the EU, but in NA there's a plugin we use that gets rid of the higher FOV that source normally gives wide-screen players, which I really took advantage when I used it in csgo or pubs to get a little bit more screen space, which might be another reason to have considered it in the first place. Otherwise I love widescreen monitors, and used to use one over 16:9 all the time.
that being said, one thing I noticed in your two monitor selections is that the higher refresh rate monitor you've chosen is 1080p, vs the 1440p widescreen model. If you do end up picking up a monitor, the 1080p models will feel so much less clear than one that you can buy with 2k or 4k capabilities for everything that's not directly related to tf2, and it's such a noticeable difference imo. try to find one that's at least 2k for anything modern that you plan on doing, and you can downscale games if you're worried about performance

So now that Valve have soft launched the title and removed the streaming/creating videos restrictions, I'm starting to think that the game suffers from a "very fun to play, not very fun to watch" problem, and I'm not sure there's a great way to fix that

TF2 has a similar problem that tf2 youtubers often brute force to get around, and the tf2 streaming category is next to dead quite often unless there's an official cast or charity event happening (exceptions happen obviously)
is there a solution to this? might need a hud overhaul or something, but the hud when you're actually playing is also fine for the most part. Same visual spam as other MOBA's, but having played it since it had 300 invites makes me biased towards deadlock over league or dota, which i have no real experience with
