This thread is really amazing. I've been dealing with depression for over a year now... in the past few months I really started thinking suicide was a viable alternative. I never made any plans to get it into action, but it's hard not to think about it - especially not when you hate going to sleep because you just don't want to wake up and face another day.

I like reading this thread because it makes me feel less alone. Depression and anxiety leave me in a very dark and lonely place, and social contact tends to help if only a little bit. What helps more is knowing this isn't out of the ordinary. Like many of you guys, I use TF2 as an escape because it's one of few things I legitimately enjoy doing. I'm glad to have that, and I'm glad to share it with all of you.

I hope you all stay strong, it will give me the strength to do the same.

regular viaduct unhype

wow theyre going to be on television

I love the production quality and wide range of topics covered in this show - plus Sideshow's beautiful voice wraps it all together neatly. Please keep it up!

edit: its a cool idea to try and get nislt's subscriber base into tf2 since they are likely the ones interested enough by tf2 to try comp (as much as you'd prefer to deny it) so i support having him as an affiliate. but the grunts and otherwise jokey-type things he added to the video don't fit at all. what attracted me to keep watching this content (that ive now spent 40+ minutes watching back to back) was the clean, polished, professional approach that TF2 deserves. adding big boom explosions and grunts and whatnot makes it pretty bad. also considering the sound mix is supposed to be more of a podcast than anything, i thought the original voice + music mix was great. some people are complaining about quick fade outs of music between segments but i think thats the proper way to do it - it's not jarring at all. it keeps the energy up while waiting for sideshow's voice to come back.

of course take everything i say with a grain of salt im just here to keep watching

the fuck Tangyy?

i think its fine that we played a sideshow map at the end. if people think thats dumb they were never gonna start playing tf2 anyway

very interesting that we have a reset on platinum highlander this season... no big super teams coming back from the dead and the top teams from last season have all shattered into several new teams. gonna be a good show. unfortunately this is the exact scenario where i wish we would have playoffs, but i suppose the lack thereof is partially what motivated such a drastic reset this season. will just have to be patient until next season's playoffs. hopefully most of these teams will have stayed together by then.
