hud_saytexttime_0, and play the game as normal. Voila.

Alternatively, you're on TFTV, The Home Of Competitive Team Fortress 2. Come play the game in which friendlies do not exist.

fast food is killing america, god bless

esea was a fucking trashcan garbage heap, its only saving grace was that tri was around to salvage, and if we're really peeved about rgl we only have ourselves to blame. and ALSO we could still start a new league, but even if someone tried, no one would move to it because we only have ourselves to blame

dont get me wrong, thats shitty too, but that part where you come out and watch them fight while listening to "ONLY THE STRONGEST WILL SURVIIIVE" was seared into my 12 year old brain. i guess its silly, but i was literally playing through the level getting psyched up for that part, even though i dont even listen to that kind of music anymore.

idk man. just another iconic moment ruined by the remaster.

they apparently lost the rights to the song in this part and play some generic garbage instead.

halo is fucking dead yo

wow crazy cant imagine why

and then when they live with 20 hp and meatshot your ragdoll 30 yards away, curse this game and everyone who worked on it

finally, some good fucking news

The game hasnt changed THAT much since before the speed buff. Its a known quantity for most players here and should be reverted. Or at least voted on or smth

Pretty misleading, if not straight up false? The people behind NACL had announced their intentions to make a league happen weeks earlier, pretty soon after it came out that ESEA was dying, but understandably took some time to organize everything enough to make an official announcement.

Most people were not signed up yet. People like to wait to sign up until the very last second even with established leagues, but RGL had made a big announcement how it had secured some invite teams playing (and I seem to recall a post about one of those teams not being aware it had signed up?). And more than that, RGL had intentionally scheduled its first season to start almost immediately after the end of the ESEA season, in some kind of "pick us now or forever hold your peace" kind of play. And I also seem to recall some last second delays anyway once it became clear people weren't signing up on time? But by that point, the decision had already been made.

The timing was all totally arbitrary. Pretty sure that in the end we picked RGL because they offered more prize money. Because apparently we all suffer from some awkward TF2 form of "temporarily embarrassed millionaire" syndrome.

there were several other options back before season 1. but i guess No OnE CoULd HavE SeEn ThIS ComIng

this is fair, but this should be something we all strive for as opposed to people being mandated to do so

banning people for stupid shit like this is extra problematic because it delegitimizes when people are banned for actual hate speech and harassment (on an rgl server or not). "kys" is pretty innocuous compared to the shit i hear tossed around whenever i play the game. i mean at this point its basically just synonymous with "fuck off." this is uncomfortably close to banning people for any kind of shit talk at all

It's Okay, We Chose This !
