Agreed. I recently built a machine with an i7 and a GTX 1080 and TF2 runs noticeably better on high settings as opposed to low or medium.

I've never tried DX8 or an FPS config though, so I couldn't tell you how they would run.

It works for me - you might have an older version of sourcemod. I removed some of the newer syntax, see if it works now.

I wrote a plugin to do this if you still want to try out this idea:

It wouldn't count " the" at the end of the string. Granted, that's not valid English, but I wouldn't take that risk going off of what little I've read of Shakespeare. I've gotten wrong answers on problems like this in the past by making that kind of assumption.

>>> vulcan_count("Theodore reads his thesaurus at the theater")
4

I think splitting the string or using regex is the better part of valor here. Making a list of this kind of rule can get out of hand fast.

>>> "the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog".count(" the ")
1

That doesn't work any better.

>>> "absinthe is an old sounding word".count("the ")
1

Vulcan, your code will miss "the" at the beginning or end of the string.

>>> "the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog".count(" the ")
1

Regex or str.lower.

The python docs are great and should generally be your first place to look.

Hard drives are pretty cheap as far as computer components go. 5 minutes on amazon says $35 for 500GB, $50 for 1TB, and $100 for a 250GB SSD. All US prices, but unless you're in a place with heavy taxes they shouldn't be too much higher than that.

Are you on a college campus or other place where your internet access might be restricted? Your screenshots look like the CSS stylesheets are failing to load.

Open the developer tools in Firefox (F12), go to the network tab, then go to https://store.steampowered.com. That should show you if anything is failing to load.

Yes, any more would greatly increase the complexity of the script (loading posts from tf.tv on the fly, etc.). I've considered making an infinite scrolling/change page size script but there hasn't been any interest from what I've seen.

Should be fixed. Try deleting it and re-installing.
