some of you never had to carry your low open friends in pugs to defend your championship reputation and it really shows

"oh, you're not Tony Swan?"

it's good etiquette, but if it's obviously a tilted match it's not gg just go next

why can't we just be free to be stupid without being policed

shit's fun af

sup BUICK!

I feel ya. Am 27, so maybe even still in the range of some of the people still here. Every now and then, want some good old fashioned 6v6 stimulus with the lads. I tried MGEing and a DM not too long ago, got my shit kicked in. I was even warmed up off some OW comp queue too. Still couldn't even come close to beating my opponents in the MGE server. It feels so different now in every regard for some reason even though not much has changed. There's a certain clunk to the game that didn't feel was there before. Maybe config related, idk. All I remember having for a config was cl_interp 0 in my autoexec. Even that feels off now after trying to match what I had before.

I think it's still as crack-shot. At least, if you were not hitting 95% acc on scout in MGE you were going to lose. Duels were only 'competitive' or close, if both players were touching that mid-nineties for hitscan accuracy. I think this still mostly translates in an actual game though. Imo this doesn't feel any less true today than it was in the previous decade.

Would totally tune in to more games if you casted BUICK.

good luck in the qualifier

The way we were used to is just track when med spawned and add 40. Either way, kind of accounts for the time people should take position to use the incoming uber as well. To be 'super accurate' you're going to need to notice how long they haven't been healing for. Other than that, you should assume they're healing from the very frame they can, up to the usual time it takes to get the uber and use it. ~40 seconds.

now this is true tf2 gaming, solid work

bring aerowalk into mge, pure air strafing and i'm in

gf bought me this one https://respawnproducts.com/products/respawn-110-pro-racing-style-gaming-chair

Mostly satisfied, I'm not heavy and the cushion kind of gave out kind of quickly within 2 months but in general <$200 chairs are only going to be durable if you only use it 2-4 hrs at a time. Price goes higher the longer you will be able to occupy it and it still remain comfortable.

right? it's so strange having played this game when 'esports' was a meme

This game and what we all have seen/want this place to be will wreck your mental if you let it, like BumFreeze said you can't please everyone. Just keep in mind the people giving you stress have zero bearing on your daily life. People I don't even know or have never even talked to in TF2 have beef with me. I'm sure my "reputation" isn't great in some circles, and haven't the slightest clue why except for some dumbass posts. Do I let it bother me? Sometimes. Hard not to in certain situations. In the end, they're a stranger under an alias with a bad attitude I'll never knowingly meet face to face.

If you're expecting to hear a very detailed specific way to save face for yourself for some transgressions; you're not going to get what works out for you here. Most everybody here is posting hangry, steaming from their own grievances like your own and because you're here, you're in the radius to get shit on to make themselves feel better. If you feel bad about having done something, then good you are experiencing life and while you should be learning from these; you shouldn't hold yourself to a degree where every possible random stranger should adore you.

People don't mind people that make mistakes, they mind when people don't learn from mistakes.
