2pud blast straight from the past

I don't think so, People want to blame everything on some evil force somewhere as if some group is controlling everything, I think that's not true, I think people including politicians are just Dumb, Selfish, Evil, Narcissistic etc. Essentially they are just doing it for the love of the game, I don't think there is some big plot, It's all just for Oil, Money, Profit etc.

Yes there are, I consider myself to be a person who has achieved relatively a lot and I'm sure that there are many here who have done much better than i have

So, as far as I know, there are people in this community who are high-performing, high-achieving, and in general successful—people who deal with a lot of pressure and still push through and make things happen. That’s kind of who I’m trying to reach with this thread. I know most people here aren’t even employed, but I really wanna ask: how do you do it? What helps you cope?

For me, the second I feel even a little bit of pressure—like “niko you have to do this, or something bad is gonna happen”—I completely fall apart. If life isn’t just constant fun and partying, I can’t get anything done. But if the vibe is more like, “Hey, let’s try to do this. If we do it, cool; if not, no big deal. let's go out and drink anyway whatever we ball” that’s when I get the most done.

Is anyone else like that? I feel like when there’s no pressure and it’s chill, I perform at my best. I really wanna figure out how to handle pressure better and still get stuff done when life isn’t all fun, Because at some point i think that i should be able to handle more pressure

Yeah i think i got it

edit : i dont got it, please dont try lmfao

im here im here u can add me on steam and we can talk if u need it always here

You alright?

Yes without jokes i think scorpion has to be the best tbh

catbowcar and after id have to say me i think

That's not true and If so give me an example of someone that i've doxxed or even trash talked :)

This is something I wish I understood better: certain behaviors that some players show. For example, constant trash talk, playing in a cheap way, and then calling you a dog or trash even after they lose or barely win.

I notice this a lot now. When I was younger and really trying to improve at MGE, grinding hard and playing with an ultra-competitive mindset, I always wanted to win no matter what. But even then, I was never that angry, and I never tried to ragebait people. I don’t understand why this kind of behavior has become so common, because it’s making MGE almost unplayable. Every time I just want to join, have fun, and shoot a few rockets, people are constantly trash talking, kicking, re-adding, and repeating the cycle and for no reason i genuinely never trash talk and im never a dick to anyone on mge never really even have been.

One that stuck with me very recently before i stopped tf2 all together was a 2400 player I fought on ammomod. I won once or twice, then he won a few rounds as well, but throughout the entire session he was angry, constantly switching to shotgun, and nonstop trash talking. What I don’t understand is what I did to make him so angry, especially considering that he won most of our games.

Hey everyone, it’s me, niko. How’s everyone doing? Some of you may remember me in a good way, others maybe in a not-so-great way. I want to be clear that this post isn’t like my previous ones—there’s no joking, trolling, or satire here. This is me being completely sincere.

It’s really good to be back and make one more post. It’s been about five years since I was involved in the TF2 community, and I just wanted to say, to whoever this may concern, that I’ve done a lot of reflecting and I’ve changed a great deal since then. Five years might not seem like a long time—and in some ways it isn’t—but one thing I’ll always love about this community is how tight-knit and close it remains, without drastically changing at its core.

Are there bad things happening? Most definitely. But I’d like to focus on the positive, because I think we could all use more positive energy right now.

All in all, I love you all. You’re genuinely some of the best people I’ve met while playing TF2, and I’ve always felt that if I were ever in one of my friends’ countries, I could reach out—and I know it goes both ways.

Keep on rocking.

Also to Mods that processed and approved my ban appeal, My apologies i messed up the title of the thread and also, This post isn’t a troll. I genuinely just wanted to share some love and positivity with the community. I hope it can stay up, as I truly believe it carries some much-needed positive energy that people may appreciate
