Been turning my office into a test lab both for work and for fun projects. I have been making cables, writing up documentation and listening to 40k slop audiobooks. Living my best life.

There was a NA player named mute who didn't talk and claimed to be mute back during like ESEA era. They used binds for a bunch of stuff and had binds for mumble text chat as well and would ask that you turn on TTS in mumble during pugs.

Dunno if they were actually mute.

Every TF2 player I talk to swears they'll never play this game and yet the number of boomers on my friends list playing it is steadily doubling every 3 months. The game is good and fun.

The movement system is maybe a little polarizing but I do think that a lot of people who are complaining about it haven't spent any real time with it. If you are consistently instant dashing, wall jumping and corner boosting you can fly around the map in a really fluid and satisfying way that reminds me a lot of getting decent at rocket jumping for the first time.

This is definitely a common experience. I have had to quite explicitly draw boundaries with newbies I've coached in the past and in once case outright stop mentoring a minor who would not stop making raunchy and flirtatious jokes. I'm generally a friendly jokey guy with people I've mentored but have learned to tone that down a bit as its sometimes taken as an invitation for a more personal relationship than I'd be comfortable with. The crass/ flirtatious jokes seem to be a big part of these younger clique's sense of humor and nobody before me had really explained to them why it wasn't a good idea to behave that way with strangers online.

I've had to have a conversation around these lines with every team or player I've coached and I think its been valuable to the newbies every time. I also had to learn for myself how to draw these boundaries early and set a good example for younger players. A formal resource would have definitely set me up for success. Standardizing something like this in an organization like TF2CC sounds like a really good idea. If the goal is to get people into the scene teaching them how to safely be a part of an online community should be a part of that.

Other than the other team not playing sniper.

gosh that sure sounds like a fun pugging experience. I for one would love to play in the pug group who's gimmick is that they let in all the guys nobody wants to play with

cry about it bandwagoners

I'm glad to see zoomer youtubers taking (SERIOUS) in a post title seriously. As they should.

Glad TFTV is figuring out the correct burial ritual, its about time someone got on that.

is this an option? have I been a sheep this whole time? Should I break the chains and forego the preheating step that has oppressed me?
