on a related note, if tlr and coleman got into a fight who do you think would win

isn't this just normal scout hitboxes

scrolling seems to be messed up on my phone's browser by the floating bar pushing the page down whenever i stop scrolling

i thought that was your hair at first and i'm gonna keep believing that

started learning basic german a few weeks ago, still got a way to go though, yesterday i tried to ask my friend 'would you like to buy my hat' and instead asked if he'd like to buy my skin

(he didn't)

i got this suit during the post-christmas sales. it's way more purple than it looks and i love it

i bought brink for £1.50 last year and regretted not just spending it on a sandwich

well that's never happened before

it'd be negated by the fact you'd be going to glasgow though

just off the top of my head:

bfb, critacola, pretty boy's pocket pistol, winger, basher, atomizer
blackbox, gunboats, reserve shooter, conch(?), escape plan, disciplinary action
(if anyone plays pyro) degreaser, reserve shooter, flares, powerjack
cannon, caber
steak sandwich, sandvich, gru, fos
(if anyone plays engie) sc, wrangler, gunslinger
crossbow, overdose, kritz, quickfix, vitasaw, ubersaw, solemn vow
machina, jarate, dds
ambassador, c&d

i dunno how many of these are fulltime unlocks, but your post made me curious how many unlocks i could think of that might be used

using pick/ban instead of whitelists does not turn a game into a moba

how do we know it'll 'fundamentally change' into a 'retarded game' without trying it? i get the feeling class lineups/meta will stay pretty much the same with maybe a couple of fringe strats emerging every now and then, except the format will be more compatible with the rest of the game due to not cutting out most of the weapons that are part of it; maybe that'll get valve to notice since it'll be more presentable to the average player? either way, what's the harm in testing it?

hey yo,

sorry to bump this, but after watching the no-whitelist chaotic valve's game... games, i was thinking about this again; i'm no programmer, but would it be at all viable to create a system that does the following:

1) allow each team ~5 weapon bans from the entire unlock pool
2) allow each player to choose x unlocks from the unbanned pool for themselves only (4 seems like a good number to me? ~3 for each slot + 1 for offclass, or 4 for mainclass) which are revealed to the other team once everyone has chosen, not restricted by what other players pick (i.e all 12 players could choose the gunboats if they really wanted)
3) restrict unlocks available to each player ingame to only their selected 4 (this part seems awkward to do)

i honestly think this is worth at least trying as a good middle ground between the current whitelists and the everything-allowed games, since it deals with a lot of problems:

-remembering/learning what unlocks are allowed in different leagues, essentially unifying a whitelist (fuck if i know all of what's legal in etf2l any more)
-allowing teams to attempt new strategies without having a bloated whitelist
-possibly providing data for which weapons are always banned/never used for balancing (low chance but yeah)
-still being able to weed out overpowered weapons (see: bfb)
-this:

with the unlocks limited to 4 per player and revealed at the start, you can allow teams to try curveball strategies while still letting the opposing team prepare for them

imo if this works it'd make comp a little more accessible since people won't be asking why x is banned or is x legal in y league, along with slightly increasing the very low chance valve introduces 6s to matchmaking, since even if the meta stays pretty much the same we won't be cutting out half the weapons in the game (even if they won't be used, it'd be weird to see an official format where a large chunk of the game's weapons aren't allowed for some reason)

thoughts?

my hd was getting full so i decided to make a video and clean up my p-rec folder, then i got bored after about 3 months worth of demos and i just decided to get a bigger hard drive instead. i hope you enjoy these clips with music
