No fault insurance is truly cancer and is genuinely one of the shittiest policies out there. I live in a no fault province myself, and thanks to that, I got conned out of a lot of money.

So I was on my way to school at like 8 AM when I accidentally bumped into a car in front of me in the traffic pileup—I barely nudged the damn thing. Like sure, that was my mistake, but yeah. The car stops and does nothing for a full goddamn minute, but suddenly this middle aged woman gets out of the car and starts howling like she's having an episode of PTSD. I don't know what the fuck is going on at this point, so I get out and try to help. The red flags started coming once she called 911 and demanded the police to come too—doing that kind of sealed my fate. The next little bit was the police, ambulance, fire department, the whole bit, coming here and shaking their heads at what was probably not the first time they've been called out for stupid bullshit like this. She tried identifying a very slight bump on the back of her car; which could have come from anywhere, really, and I would have been perfectly willing to settle/pay for it without getting the fucking police involved for the tiniest of dents regardless.

I met her in a restaurant a couple of weeks later and she was bullshitting about how her physiotherapy sessions were going, perhaps one of the biggest loads of bullshit I have ever heard in my entire life given how lightly I bumped against her. When I left the restaurant, I came back to finding a happy face drawn in the frost on my windshield.

So yeah, thanks to no fault, that old witch got a bunch of free money and I lost my driver's ed insurance deductible, and I had no power to do anything about it. I really hope this works out for you ghost, it fucking sucks to live in a state like that. Get some good-ass legal advice. I dunno if you remember me at all, but I've always liked you a lot and had fun playing with you. Good luck man, hope your sister has a speedy recovery.

I really like Nier and its soundtrack. Great stuff, get hype for Drakengard 3.

I don't really care about the rest of what you said but I really, really hope you're not using fucking Immortal Technique as an example of why people shouldn't want/expect good lyricism from hip-hop artists. There's plenty of great examples of hip-hop artists with great lyricism; I know this might blow your mind a bit but beat production isn't the be all/end all, and not everyone who listens to hip-hop for the words necessarily listens to awful preach-hop like Immortal Technique and Hopsin.

It's the comedy event of the year. Too bad I forgot to do my annual E3 drinking game this year—last year I took a shot for every time they brought up "social connectivity". Man, that was a good evening. Kinda crept up on me this year though.

Welp we're looking for a demo again. We're a low IM team that's looking to try growing and improving with a demo that suits us and is fun to play with. We are:

Scouts: Kohaku, Abramelin
Pocket: disengage
Roamer: LdK
Medic: crumpet

We're looking for someone who can handle the competition, be on 9-11 EST, and preferably be able to main-call. If you consider yourself a "smart player" and effective main-caller, you will be preferred over MGE lords. Give me a message, thanks.

The remark about godawful unlocks was more just general bitching about what Robin said about the TF2 metagame. Ugh.

As for your scenario: generally worse. The balance of 6v6 was largely derived from a era of TF2 when there were far fewer unlocks and the game was a bit closer to what it was in pubs, but with less people. I can agree that the few balanced sidegrades has improved the 6s meta, but in general when you play 6v6 you can expect more or less the same classes with the same weapons they had in 2007 except with different melee weapons and the occasional different secondary. 6s has survived by banning most things not just because many of them are unbalanced but rather that they disrupt the delicate flow. We really are the Smash Bros of competitive FPS; their game is way different from how your average joe plays it and therefore gets a lot of shit, but the reaction time, mind games, and execution of top Melee players is totally ridiculous and really hype to watch.

Anyway, the point is that theoretically perfectly balanced weapons in the most general sense will NOT and in fact cannot take 6s into account. And even if all weapons were magically totally retooled to 6v6 balance, it would become a more dota-esque game of counterpicking unlocks, something I really don't think TF2 needs to be.

I'm not saying for sure this won't help 6s, but I'm pretty skeptical. I just hope that valve's coming out and saying "yeah fuck 6s HL is the only way we will ever support competitive TF2" doesn't have any negative repercussions by making us seem like more of a weird leper colony than we already are.

Not a whole lot of items are banned in HL, honestly; UGC bans like, what, 16 weapons? Sure, I guess this might help balance the weapons for Highlander players and probably just improve the game for most players overall (which is cool), but that specifically doesn't really matter at all to 6s, because the reasons why weapons are or aren't banned in either format are often fundamentally different. No matter what kind of data Valve extrapolates from this, this is not going to change many or any 6v6 banlists to any relevant degree.

I dunno where you got that I thought this would "hurt" 6v6—if this helps 6s in some way, cool. It is, however, uninteresting and slightly disappointing to a 6s player who has been playing this game for a long, long time, and generally has no interest in HL whatsoever.

I guess it's kind of nice that they've said SOMETHING. Either way, it's easy to see why they are alienating 6s players, and Robin's grievances with 6v6 is something we've all been pretty aware of as a community. If they get more people interested in competitive and this benefits 6s in some way, great, but I admittedly have a hard time getting excited; I know that the day that competitive TF2 shifts from being a fast-paced, dynamic, teamwork-heavy twitch shooter into being about countering godawful unlocks in hopes of artificially shifting the metagame with more bloated shit will be the day I completely stop giving a shit and move onto fighting games or something. I just don't see any merit in highlander, even though valve and the pubbies might.

Shoots feet real well, hilarious, probably the fourth-biggest pedophile I've ever met, carried me into Invite once. Pick up at your own risk.

My favorite movie is probably Badlands.

We are looking for pocket/demo backups now, demo being more imperative. Topic updated accordingly. THANKS LIGHTS.
