i don't feel i wasted time because the tf2 let me meet people who have become my precious friends and it's worth much more than any time spent in any game, eventually i could meet them on an event of my own
also, people seem to be grateful for what i'm doing on ETF2L and with LANsilesia, so that's only +++

yes

I wish I never started tf2 but keep all the friends I've made.

Life is finding ways to enjoy yourself and stave off the existential dread until you die. I had fun with this game and at the end of the day that is all i can ask for.

I only wish i enjoyed a more popular game.

I regret all the time I spent regretting

Nope even though what it gives me has decreased dramatically since I first downloaded the game

but even if i dont enjoy tf2 anymore, its given me the ability to enjoy other games that are newer because ive learned shit in thi game so i dont think u can really regret it

16k zero regrets. I'm having fun.

If I didn't have fun doing what I did, I'd regret it of course but playing the game was fun for a big part of my time when I actively played. Maybe I'd regret not getting into the game until it became F2P and the competitive community any sooner than in late 2013 but without all that I wouldn't have made some great friends over the years.

At most maybe being an admin for ETF2L is something I might regret sinking a lot of hours into in the end since I didn't get that much credit for it until people realized that I'm not around anymore after quitting and that was one of the only times when I really heard people say that I had done a great job for the league, not saying that I don't appreciate any of that since I'm honestly glad that the said individuals will miss my presence within the community. In the end I still liked being an admin, if any of you really feel like you are genuinely able to contribute in some way still, do so as soon as you can.

I wish I spent the time between when I graduated and now working towards some sort of degree or at least bettering myself in any way.

No not really, met a ton of cool people and graduated anyway and got really good jobs regardless of how many hours I spent playing. LANs back in the day were some of the most fun events I went to, and playing for almost 2 years with eLevate was some of the best competitive gaming time ever spent.

Best part is that once you get good at this game the skills transfer across games and it teaches you how to become better at them and how to do it. It's the same system, over and over again. I can probably speak from a unique POV as I played both ETF2L and ESEA starting more than a decade now, but it has deffo been one of the most fun things ever and despite my opinion of some players I still have a lot of fun. At the end of the day we're all just trying to be better.

Basically, given the state of the game, there's 0 reason to play other than for fun and try to make the best of it. Literally 0 reason for drama and shit when everyone knows everyone otherwise you're just wasting your time playing this game.

not only does it transfer between games it transfers to everything else. "get good" is applicable to quite literally any venture. if you know the way broadly you will see it in all things.

I mean, what else was I going to do. I didn't do homework/school because I didn't want to, not because I was too obsessed with tf2, so, no, I don't regret it at all. better than drugs or like mtg or something

Spent a long time in this game. I always try not to regret anything that has kinda fucked my life to a certain extent. So no, I don't regret the time I've spent.

I don't regret mistakes I make with my life because they help me learn. TF2 was also not a mistake, more of a result from the mistakes.
