you people are just intimidated by elena's power level, get gud

valve is just watching shounic videos

remember when esea died and it was a huge blow to the scene because it was what everyone was used to? me neither. actually looks like it was fine, and despite a million threads complaining about being banned for saying the n word, now we don't have to roll the dice on whether the stv will work, whether people will randomly be unable to join their games that evening, and there's more than one admin handling literally every single conflict.

yall are seriously overestimating how big of a deal it would have been to lose the tf2center name. there would have been a few extra threads on "where find game" and life would have moved on, probably with a better admin team. hopefully whoever bought tf2center cares, but who knows! and even if they do care, the baggage that tf2center brings with it might never go away. weren't a ton of people permabanned just for saying "stadium?"

i feel like ive read hundreds of stories like this over the years

what about that is more convenient than just typing tf2stadium.com? i think the play would be to try to grab the tf2center domain and have it do the redirects

my memory is vague, but didn't jasmine attend an iseries and a rewind lan and get 3rd both times? they were obviously insanely good but i think making any goat arguments for them is difficult

lol im pretty sure he's the type of guy to read this thread and just have his ego inflate even more. top level players are absolutely pathetic to put up with this type of abuse. i was honestly relieved to hear that all of froyo quit on him this last season, because it makes me feel insane hearing people talk about how tf2 will never be an esport or whatever, but then in the next breath trying to justify putting up with his unhinged rants just because He Can Win The Game For Me.

Next we should have a discussion on the psychology of the hundreds people who watch his stream. Are they all children who feel validated by watching a grown man throw the same kind of tantrums they do? Or is it like an Eric Andre Show effect, with voyeurs who just think it's funny watching an utter trainwreck? How anyone can listen to a word he says without cringing out of their skin?

anyway i think the peak of my tf2 career was captaining a pugchamp team and then beating banny, surely nothing else in my life will ever be so meaningful :)

I think this LAN coverage has the best HUD I've seen so far. The team health bars convey alive/damaged/dead very quickly and are tucked well out of the way of the action, player bars are well placed and quickly convey which team the spectated player belongs to, and the class icon getting ubered along with the player is extremely cool. I think my only (minor) complaint is that the uber and kritz icons are a little too similar.

some people make bad social decisions because they're autistic. makes it all the worse when others use their autism as excuse to be an asshole.

it sucks that the person who started this thread has apparently been one of the worst offenders in the past, kinda puts the whole motivation for posting into question. but at the end of the day the whole point of the rule is to help keep people who aren't capable of "just growing thicker skin" for whatever reason from being driven away. people should be able to play their favorite game without worrying if someone is gonna try to fuck with them. or at least knowing they'll face consequences for doing so

Everyone has filters they use around different groups of people. In a game where you know everyone, obviously you can be more comfortable saying whatever. But if you're getting reported, you're clearly making someone else uncomfortable. (tho rgl scanning scrim chatlogs for slurs is an odd grey area where people are potentially getting punished even if everyone on the server was fine)

really tho its not that hard to just not be an asshole

"not political" and "doesn't go to therapist" are less normal and more just kinda dumb

cry more losers

Yeah same, even over the years with multiple OS installs, so I think it's a safe bet that everyone sees them, it's just a matter of whether they care enough to notice. Since I suck at ARGs all I can do is be a party pooper and say that the fridge itself is almost certainly confirmation bias. It happens to everyone but you stop caring until you read a fridge thread--then it dominates your thoughts, filling your soul until there is nothing left of you but cold ham and a mustard stain.

god bless you millie for turning this into an actual good thread
