For Artul!!

One thing I remember being brought up is that "continuous overtime" might be a problem in pugs. The group I play in runs these sometimes, and the continuous overtime has never really been a problem in my experience.

RGL should try a season with:

• a 4 minute timer
  
• overtime activating only if the round difference is 1 or 0
  
• half time once one team reaches 3 rounds (halftime is now based only on rounds won, without a flat 30min cap)

airblast gets less powerful the more times it's used in a row

played with medeev for a whole season
he would do well on a team wanting to grind. he did demo reviews for the team and had some insights that helped everyone play better
maybe needs to comm a bit more in game :D

I really liked the Count of Monte Cristo (barnes and noble abridged edition). It has some of the coolest uses of dramatic irony in literature, and many of its original quirks are now common tropes. What books do you like? :]

try putting your res in launch options, so -w 1980 -h 1080. sry if this doesn't work

Your note about derivatives is why bunnyhopping is still technically possible in TF2. Because airstrafing is "non-holonomic," the increased total distance that comes guaranteed when you airstrafe translates into increasing or decreasing velocity and acceleration.

This might also explain why w-strafing is "worse" than A/D strafing: An A/D strafe keeps acceleration perpendicular to a player's current velocity because acceleration in Source is based on the keys you're pressing. So by strafing with A or D while moving in some velocity through the air, total distance is increased because you're turning through the air at a different angle than where you're currently headed. And because velocity and acceleration also presumably depend on distance in TF2, increasing your distance pathway through the air increases your velocity and acceleration while in the air as a result.

A W airstrafe, on the other hand, keeps velocity and acceleration together for the player. This results in smaller-angle movement through the air (you can't rotate your velocity as quickly with a w-strafe than with an A/D strafe), and a kind of "pulling feeling" back in the direction of your original rocket jump. These smaller angles result in less gained position in the air, which in turn causes less gained velocity and acceleration.

A/D strafe, where the black arrow is velocity and the red arrow is your strafe key: https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/1100293836530956311/3F5B008BE5788665344963CE8A73B904DE20092A/

We're one step closer to a training map where you can practice airshots vs bots that strafe like real players. Cool post!
