sv_pure reverts the custom flat textures back to the default textures like it's supposed to, but for whatever reason the texture size/resolution stays the same as that of the custom ones, which is like 1x1 or 2x2 or something for flat texture mods. the default textures scaled really small and tiled end up looking pretty flat, but if you look up close you'll see a 'grid' effect. technically it isn't bypassing sv_pure but it's kind of a grey area or bug or whatever I guess

you can, in four different ways, but it's not allowed

but bro youre not supposed to be allowed to use custom particles on sv_pure 2, and ignoring pure (regardless of how trivial it is to do) is against the rgl rules even if the particles wouldn't be

what resolution?

it looks like rgl sets sv_restrict_aspect_ratio_fov 2 which means your fov will stop getting wider after 16.65:9 so probably not really worth bothering with it from a competitive standpoint

maybe other games do it the same way, in which case this would be a moot point, but tf2 actually allows fov up to about 108.43° (even with sv_restrict_aspect_ratio_fov) depending on your aspect ratio. if you're playing on 16:9, fov_desired 90 is giving you an fov of around 106.26°

edit didn't reload before posting

I mean as long as you're not running other things in the background 8gb should be fine, tf2 is 32 bit after all

trilinear is a type of texture filtering. if you have texture filtering off (mat_filtertextures 0), it doesn't matter whether your filtering mode is set to bilinear/trilinear/aniso, since it isnt using it

I had bought a Herman miller aeron but it was kinda shit and not worth 1500 bucks so I returned that bitch and got this instead. I've been pretty happy with it so far

maybe this website nope good for your mental health man [1][2]

Holy mackerel man

Listen bro I'm just saying what I recall, and I phrased it that way too. Here's some messages I could find from the mastercomfig discord, again I'm not sure how true it is, just something I remembered, like I said initinally, but mastercoms has generally been right about things

recording a demo does make your game run slightly worse and Im 99% sure I remember mastercoms saying it messes up hitreg a little, probably not the reason people don't record though

If I remember right you have to restart your game or load a new map between changing r_worldlightmin to see the difference. You could also try pasting everything between the quotes in this line from mastercomfig into your config: https://github.com/mastercomfig/mastercomfig/blob/304c3acc58a951f63c4a8b49a4ba2e065c959582/config/mastercomfig/cfg/comfig/comfig.cfg#L294.

I think probably the setting that would affect that would be r_worldlightmin, mastercomfig uses 999999 for very low and .0008 for low so you could try one of those
