As far as I can say it all started with a few dotted lines stretching across the screen and it got worse and worse by the day. Now the screen looks like this. Also the broken part of the screen seems to change color so I assume that this is a graphics card issue but I can't say that for sure.

Please help me out and I love you :)

dude is completely motionless it seems, chances of him surviving are slim as hell if not a chance...

Man I fucking left out some shit in my other post by accident somehow I need to full proof read my shit next time before submission...

Anyway about the hours point I forgot to add that since tf2 is old now you will find less and less people willing to play the game enough to even reach mid-open status yet alone high-open and up. It's not really an hour issue, it's finding less and less people willing to get really good at the game. And since we are talking about the future of tf2 in a way this issue will only become worse if we can't find people willing to get good enough to play in higher divs

Also i should have made it more clear what the problem was with my beginning statement. I ultimately meant to say that having a lack of player is simply one of the biggest issues we face. And if we did have more players we would not be dealing with this issue as much.

Still there are bigger issues with faceit than this and just cause we have fewer people desn't mean we will always encounter this problem, it's just that if we did have more it would not be as much of an issue

Honestly one of the biggest issues is the time needed to reach mid-open level status and up.

To even reach mid-open status you need probably around 1500 and up depending on your average gamer. and even more if you want to become IM level etc. And most people only play the game for at least 1000+ hours

because of this there is a lack of higher level players and the skill between them is much more apparent because there is a lack of players

for example: say we have 3 sevens, 3 eights, 3 nines, and 3 tens (not necessarily going by faceit level) only available to play a game. as you can see the distribution is even. but since there is such few players they would all have to play in the same game. now say there were 24 sevens, eights, nines, and tens available to play. then there would be games that would be evenly distributed by rank.

Basically this system would be fine if mid-open could play with mid-open etc. But we have such a small player base that we will always have a skill difference within most of our pugs. even then this site was big from the beginning we had the issue. I'm not sure what would be the solution to this. But I just want people to understand as long as the player base is this size, we will always have this issue of uneven pugs

EDIT: basically the beginner side will always be fruitful, but the more experienced side will always suffer

so recently my dog was on the brink of death where we nearly decided to put her down. but now she is recovering amazingly, still won't be the same as a month ago but It makes me so happy she is done fine. Also started a part time job today and I can't wait to make some good dough $$$$

does he deserve a chance people?

Update on my dog:

My dog is going to be put to sleep, she has too many health problems at this point and she is dying slowly, and she has really no chance of survival at this point. I am the last person in this world to want her be put to sleep, but there is no other option....

EDIT: Ok my dog might not be put to sleep since my dad really despises it, after discussion with fellow vet relatives he might take her to a ER vet. It will be expensive and will not guarantee healing her, a decision will be made tomorrow.

Am I the only one that believe that our education system should NOT be involved in e-sports? (I'm ok with video game clubs tho in general). The only reason I accept sports at schools is cause It is healthy for your body to participate in those activities.

If it does happen one day I can accept it but I'd rather it not be there in the first place

Well I just saw the movie today so yes you should add spoilers when giving info away

Movie is great tho besides that, I can't wait for the next part now

This post is going to have quite a few issues that I'll address [

This past month has been rough for me.

First off my dad and brother both have severe heart problems. My father has an aortic valve leakage and will need to have surgery this summer and heart surgery is very risky. My brother has a heart defect since birth and although doesn't necessarily need surgery at the moment, It will worse as he gets older and is considering taking surgery along with my dad and I'm super distraught at the whole scenario.

Second my dog a few weeks back had all her teeth removed (Apparently my mother just wanted to have her teeth cleaned since at the time wasn't eating as much as she normally would. But the vet just straight up removed all her teeth.) Now she doesn't want to eat anything, she will go at it a bit and then stop, she has barely eaten and seems to have just lost all motivation in life and I don't see her living for two more months at this rate. Although she is around 14-15 years old, she is dying in pain and it hurts me so to just sit by her being helpless.

Third I have to do an internship and a summer class and that means I can't play ESEA this season, I've been trying to do ESEA for nearly the past 2 years but something is always in the way. Also I've just been slowly losing interest in competitive tf2. Pugs aren't as fun anymore (not cause of faceit, I actually really enjoyed faceit when it came out, I just don't care anymore) and I can't put in the time to actively get better/improve. I would rather decide to put that time into my future.

Because of this I'm basically done with tf2 comp now/trying to get involved in it. I might just be on hiatus but at this point I don't see myself ever playing a season of ESEA at this point in life. Hell I might as well say i quit tf2 in general cause the only thing that kept me playing tf2 was competitive.

I'll still be around hanging and stuff, and I might ring for some teams if needed. But to all the friends I've made in this community I say thank you for the memories and the experiences I had here. This was the highlight of my gaming experience and glad I was able to enjoy (almost LUL) every hour of it played. Take care friends.

EDIT: I should have made an edit sooner about my dog sooner, apparently she did have other issues before having her teeth removed as she lost a lot of weight within 5 weeks. My dog now has at least 3 major health problems that are harming her

should be banned tho, if you can't fix it ban it cause yight deserved to die there but got saved because of a broken game mechanic

I remember in the sunshine regular season match between svift and ascent when yight used the fucking bind outside of spawn and made him live, if that isn't a red flag that this bind should be banned basically anyone that knows about this will have a direct advantage above someone that doesn't know/doesn't use it. Spawn should be a safe room, but you should also be punished for using it. For using it to resupply you are sacrificing point presence. (IMO i am all for what granary is like where you can only switch class/resupply when in the tape. Still its something that shouldn't be in the game IMO. At the very least banned

absolutely, it's a minimal job that is needed to be done but it's also a constant one, mainly the flavor of gum should be strong and last long like cinnamon, spearmint, etc. I always put a piece in when i start falling asleep in class.

Music can help as well, and (although not recommend) don't be afraid to focus your mind of other things if needed

Bump, I'm this issue has come back to haunt me, I still get game freezes that last for 1-2 seconds (even more sometimes) and I will record and stop demos like 6-7 times in a game and still have invisible players on my screen
(also my frames have dropped in general but that might be another issue.

iIm just gonna post my cfg files cause maybe the issue within here
