literally a strategy session named after a principle he read about from Miyamoto Musashi

5cp but the more recent your last death was the shorter your spawn time is

i think mine is the oldest, cementing my boomer status

mihaly's flow and pyyyour in particular were very ahead of their time - the iron man gpit defense was lit

I always thought that tri was the first top pocket to run gunboats but I guess I was wrong

1. make thread about lack of positive energy in community

hi there gamers

Did a lot of yoga for a few years and it really improves the baseline of how you feel. No-gi bjj, muay thai and kickboxing moreso the last couple years - bjj is wonderful but hard to avoid injury, tried competing twice and got rolled both times, striking feels more natural and getting into a flow state in sparring is SUPER fun with the right sparring partner, hoping to try competing in kb in the next year

Would recommend trying martial arts to anyone with a hint of interest

These finals were also crazy given that Mix^ came from the lower bracket and at the time that meant a full Bo3 advantage so to win two Bo3s was crazy, can't think of another time that happened

I couldn't find the vod when I searched and I hadn't seen it but here it is for anyone interested (ty kermit)

quake -> quake mod -> tf2 -> tf2 mod -> quake
we have come full circle

wtf this is the greatest production crew of all times holy POG

hope it all goes smoothly!

even if this being a meme and people laughing at me was the only thing my tf2 career ever amounted to I'd still take it over playing comp for 7 years and peaking at a grand total of 3 seasons in mid @drifta

sigma and yukari are the two best analysts to ever cast this game imo
i also think yukari/smithsonian is the most underrated duo 100%

Yuki sheep aporia

Abosolute fucking LEGEND of the game goddamn, if it wasn't for Sal I wouldnt have spent all this years with this game as I'm sure is true for many others, very much looking forward to this one!

For Sal:
What did you see as the future for TF2 when you started making your videos and ended up putting your own money forward so LG could attend i46?
How committed were you to that vision at that point in time and what changed that made you distance yourself from the game and the community?
Do you think there are still things unique to the TF2 community that haven't been captured by other larger esports and do you think these unique things will have a home in the future of esports?

I reckon there's never been anyone that provided content as suited to bringing casual players into competitive as what you could find on the fatmop channel, and it was a great thing to have when we did. Thanks for all you did Sal, hope you're keeping well :)
