It's not often I get pissed about a thread title, fuck you.

In that case Blanc has been on life supports since it's inception.

pretty similar to the 1st PC I started playing HL with. A Phenom 2 X4 940 black edition overclocked to @3.2GHz

Yes, tf2 will run on that. If you play HL expect 45-70fps on midfights, if 6s 70-90fps on midfights with a FPS config, and no hats mod, running Dx8. Also pls don't spend more than like $60 on this the phenom 2 X4 945 is a roughly 9 year old cpu, and DDR2 hasn't been used in even mid-range PCs since about 2008/09 (just to clarify don't spend more than $60 on an entire PC that contains those parts)

I personally feel conflicted about this.

Mumble has some great features such as overlay which is quite helpful when getting to know a new team.
While Discord has way fewer steps to actually join a server and talk to people (once you have an account that is).

also pretty sure mumble delay is still -slightly- faster than discord but that doesn't matter for newbie mixes

-edit-
Discord also doesn't(didn't?) support push to talk unless you have the desktop app.

for those who have the guts, skills, and dedication...

I really enjoyed playing with this guy, will be a high-open scout for sure.

Looking to play Scout maybe Roamer preferably top 4 Open or Mid-IM

I mostly prefer a more combo oriented scout, but I can play flank as well.

Pros of picking me up
-made a config that people like
-possibly help people with PC/Internet issues
-decent at DM (for scout, soldier is pretty rusty)
-actively try to improve my calls, positioning, and map knowledge

Cons of picking me up
-You have to deal with people commenting about my config, I'm okay with it but you've been forewarned
-human and can tilt
-an autistic sniper main
-use the natascha on heavy

loved playing with ShdSteel, would like to play with him again in the future.

Yet the chargein' targe is fine? lol

banning the triblemen shiv? why, I mean it's not like it matters a whole lot but it's not a "bad" weapon it's also not OP.

Banning the Amby? You could argue spy shouldn't have that ability but honestly if a spy can aim for it, it's kinda the point of the class to get picks.

Big Earner ban? Trades some longevity for a chance at more reward, not exactly a game changer and usually irrelevant but also kinda pointless to ban.

Also if you are in the spirit of banning dumb/pointless weapon why allow any syringe gun at all when the crossbow or stock is going to be the obviously better choice in 99.999% of scenarios?

mat_viewportscale 1 // Almost no performance gain from viewport upscaling.
mat_viewportupscale 1

leave "viewportscale" at 1 and try adjusting "viewportupscale"

Idk about exactly what kind of feel you're going for

4+mm thickness cloth mousepads I know
Kingston HyperX Fury 4mm (have one at work seems pretty nice, edges are a bit sharp though)
X-Trac Fat Mat 6.2mm (I personally don't like this companies cloth pads)
Glorious XL Heavy ~6mm (never used/seen one so ymmv)
Razer Firefly Cloth Edition ~4.5mm (quite expensive due to the whole led edging)
Puretrak Talent ~6.3mm (never had one has a large fan base for awhile in pro scenes probably worth looking at)
Zowie G-SR+-SE (HLTV Special Edition) 5mm (never used/seen one so ymmv)
Cooler Master Speed-RX 5mm (never used/seen one so ymmv)
Cooler Master Control-RX 5mm (never used/seen one so ymmv)
Cougar Control Mousepad Series are all 4mm (never used/seen one so ymmv)

Both tbh. The feel of Zowie mice if your hands get sweaty is awful, and then they also wear out quickly giving a very weird feel to the edges of the wearing.

What's wrong with your DA?

Also a list of the minor grievances I have with Zowie Mice

-Click latency that's 4-10ms worse than competitors
-asymmetrical tracking latency (compared to other mice that is)
-Coating of the mice in past was awful, now a minor grievance.
-Internal parts while are considered good they're typically far enough below excellent to irritate me (kinda like a half-sneeze were you still need to sneeze but can't anymore)
-Scroll wheel is meh (16-step, a significant quantity don't report every step anyway)
-mouse feet wear rather quickly

Things Zowie does well
-Shape/Weight along with the various size options
-Assuming you get one without major scroll wheel issues, and get one without omron switches the overall build design is good.

lmao back when TF2 was 70fov by default as well. (for anyone unaware TF2 low fov is 75 since ~2013)

omg I cringed so hard when they ubered to get the intel past the sentry, didn't destroy the sentry killed the demo, and then right as uber was fading backup back into the fire of the sentry...

Again QQ

In general Nvidia charges more for their stuff, and have certain quality requirements and testing that end up making there cards cost more. In general Nvidia cards are more consistent between manufacturers, AMD cards not so much.

--- What would be the gain for upgrading the Internal Ethernet Network Card from standard to:
Intel Pro 10/100/1000

Probably not much, most MotherBoards come with 10/100/1000 ports already and for 99% of people buying the motherboard that's good enough. I guess the biggest upside is having a 2nd port if you think 1 of them died. Otherwise unless you're doing something specific you probably won't need it.
