you dont have to start in ugc, it's called open for a reason
though most people end up playing in ugc prior to open, that's not to say we as a community should discourage new players from trying esea

have you considered suicide?

I can see how playing with the lights off wouldn't result in any long term damage to your eyes, but from my personal experience it's often uncomfortable and I can sometimes get a headache from it. I think the bigger 'risk' (if you want to call it that) would be that looking at the screen in the dark exposes you to a lot of blue light at night which can limit the amount of melatonin your body naturally produces which can make it harder to fall asleep. Using a program like flux to limit the amount of blue light that your monitor is emitting can help, but I've found that even with flux turned off, having another source of light that isn't a computer screen helps negate the effect

maybe it's a sign

Though I've tried it out myself a little bit I really don't think it's a good idea to 'recommend' software that you haven't even ever used. It's not a bad program by any means but it seems really silly as you give no other reasoning to use it other than: the fact that the normal version is expensive and that your friend uses it. Especially given that the default path of 95% of the tf2 editing community is torrenting vegas/ae and learning how to use them, it seems silly not to even give any advantages/reasons to switch to resolve. I don't know much about the program itself but from what I know it's mainly used for color grading, and as many seem to be satisfied by slightly modified magic bullet looks presets I'm unsure how useful it would be for most people. That being said, I could be wrong and it could very well be helpful for some people.

I've only once ever played against connor back in s17 (he had some big spy plays) but from pugging with him recently, he seems to have improved both mechanically and gamesense wise. Though there may not be any legitimate conclusions to be drawn from the fat solo ubers he repeatedly exhibits in pugs, I can say for sure that he's a fun guy to be around. He has a good sense of humor and tends brings positivity to the mumble atmosphere, all around solid player of video games.

will the legendary baller vLadmir be attending?

they also had one of the easiest schedules imaginable and lost to three teams that didn't even make playoffs (but that is not to say that cloudmaker's incessant shitposting is at all justified)

lspike is a classic gamer

this group of weebs at my school who play league think that the entirety of competitive tf2 is playing heavy on 2fort with a pocket medic
another kid thinks hes hot shit because hes slightly better than all of the other league kids (after playing every day after school I think he's plat 1 or something)
this elitist group of kids who play csgo seem to think that tf2 is just a cartoony version of cs with hats and furries, but when I asked what their ranks were they told me they were all silver 3-4
my mom thinks tf2 is like call of duty because it's an fps and my dad think it's a strategic military simulator or something lmao

I had a similar thing happen to me where I could see through smoke and flashes and the skybox was messed up. I think it has something to do with my graphics drivers being messed up, iirc updating the nvidia drivers fixed the problem. Could be something else for you but it seems more likely for it to be your pc than the map itself having such a crazy bug.

you're forgetting, the ability to complete tier 4 jump maps is the pinnacle of jumping skill in cookieland

i think sleeping coaxed him into playing by saying he could run full time dh when candle was gone haha
