they´re understaffed, overworked, with poor leadership and even worse management
nothing new

complaining about the current competitive format LOL
a format that´s been successful for all these years with all the hardwork from the community with zero of dev support, when they created the current piece of shit known as MM .... that is so BAD that drove away so much keyplayers and community contributors from this game this past year that´s not even a joke .....
keep pursuing that mentality its making wonders for this game, and next year instead of doubling the unusual rate to meet the objectives for the year, you´ll have to quadruple it ...

valve pr at their best, after all the shitstorm from last year in tf2 and cs go, this is how they chose to handle it and people still eat it with a large spoon
7 years of tf2 have thought me the only thing to expect is major disappointment
and if you know a thing or two about body language just look at the guys surrounding dave riller when he answers how many actual coders on the team ...
and to finish it off they spent the largest portion of the meeting discussing skins .... the only thing that actually matters to valve ....

i´ll never forgive him for exposing realtalk.tf , the biggest source of entertainment this game has seen
on a serious note, one of the few ppl i truly enjoyed watching play this cartoon game

not by valve .. (they dont care about tf2)

could we not turn the fucking LAN thread into shit ? Have some respect for the people that worked hard for this to happen.
Theres a lot more threads out there to do this ...

exactly what i thought so i didnt even touched the email, went to battle.net downloaded the game and boom its working
i´ve seen some posts on blizzard forums of some people that got the gift a while back
the sad part is that my gpu is so shitty it cant even hadle the game in a decent way

thats true but looking at the popularity of the current MM i think they already know that! (dont they?)
i also think that even when they implement placement matches and hopefully class limits, this wont be enough to boost the popularity of comp.
we all know tf2 players like hats and shiny things and we can look at the example of cs go and learn that the true boost of the game originated from the fancy pixels

got an email yesterday that my account was selected to get a free copy of overwatch, at first i thought it was a scam but its the real deal !
anyone else got lucky ?

i was reading a bit of cs go history and how skins boosted the game popularity and did a bit of research and found this reddit post that matches some of my ideas
https://www.reddit.com/r/tf2/comments/53iutv/the_competitive_crates/
i dont think it would be that hard to create stuff like competitive crates with workshop content that drop at the end of a match.
you got 18 ranks divided by 3 you get 6 sets of crates numbered by the rank you play.
bigger ranks mean more rare weapons, even if these people dont play competitive it would be an incentive for the people that actually play it, to get these crates and be able to sell them for money or whatever.
i see some of these kids play 300 tours of mvm the same fucking map with the same bullshit over and over just to try to get gold weapons or a golden pan, turn this into a fun experience with MM with placement matches, get drops at the end of the match, boom everyone profits and it shouldnt be too hard to implement it

when the people that keep asking valve for their time and resources and money realize that in order for valve to throw them a bone to these lan´s and actually invest in comp MM, they need to figure out a way to give valve that bone x 20 with a competitive tf2 format
because its the casual playerbase and those r/tf2 hat hoarders that actually support this game and unless a competitive format comes out with a decent format that atracts players and makes them invest in the game whether in the form of hats, skins, stickers, matchmaking passes, competitive will always be secondary to them
they make millions making updates with hats and community stuff
they have a small developpment team
working on competitive wastes their time and resources and in the long run i probably wouldnt be surprised if it costed them money

dude im 99.9% that fixes it but try fucking around with these cvars
mat_antialias
mat_aaquality
mat_forceaniso

oh i misread
its the antialiasing thing not sure but bilinear shows that and trilinear fixes it

bumpmap or specular one of the two

try to trap them with food.
not sure if they already eat solid food but if they dont, dont give them normal milk as it dehydrates them, theres special milk sold for little kittens and you can make it yourself just google it its not that hard.
if you get them and dont plan to keep them, just check with your local vet there´s always ppl searching for kittens there or post something on facebook to your friends, it should not be that hard to get owners for just 2 kittens
vaccines and neutering is overrated and not a concern for now also be careful for the fleas product make sure its for little kittens
good luck :D
