With your name, is that supposed to be a good or a bad thing?

Thank you to Matcherino.

In America things aren't consumable unless they have sugar added.

I like this recent trend of cooperative jumps with two or more people doing a jump at the same time and assisting each other. The music during the TAS run was pretty funny as well, because it looked so casual since it just kept going on and on, seemingly leisurely flying around even though it was extremely complicated. Good job everyone.

Why not just make the round time 2 or 3 minutes instead of 10 minutes during a golden cap? If you don't push after winning the mid fight, the other team gets an equal chance to wipe you on mid after 3 minutes. This would force a decision, which should be the objective of a tiebreaker, right? This could happen a few times, but at some point a team will wipe or one medic will survive and the other won't, unless a point changes hands.

What have we done to you to deserve this?

I linked a post of a Valve employee saying P-REC causes crashes unless it is updated. When matchmaking was made available, TFTV was full of people posting that they were crashing unless they removed P-REC from their custom folder.

Can you not read?

P-REC hasn't been updated for all of the new things that came with matchmaking. If I remember correctly from another thread, the creator, Orange, doesn't intend to update it. There is nothing anyone can do because P-REC is a signed plugin and Orange either has to update it himself or hand it off for someone else to maintain and get it signed by Valve whenever a new version is made.

I'm just going to assume it will be bad until they release an expansion, just like every other fairly recent Civ game. They usually run like a bucking horse as well, so if you needed a reason not to pre-order video games, there are two big ones for this game.

Just an idea I had. This would cover choke sightline from flowers if tetris were put in the exact right spot and would offer a wall to surprise jump over top of and allow people to sneak some cap time onto the point without having to eat so many spammed projectiles and stickies.

Thank you for the years of top notch entertainment and hopefully you can soon find a place for TF2 without having to sacrifice other things.

Sleep paralysis can be a really interesting subject. For one, what you dream about often depends on what you're scared of(in my case, it was being stuck in a fire and eventually having to breathe in the fire). A few cultural ones have already been mentioned in this thread: alien abduction, terrorist attacks, plane crashes, old hag, demons of varying nature. I remember a Japanese friend telling me that in Japan, it is often described as an old woman with a lantern and a knife standing by your bed while you cannot move and that it is called 'kanashibari', which I can only translate as 'tied up in metal'. In the Philippines there is a phenomenon known as 'bangungut', which is a demon sitting on your chest and pushing the air out of your lungs. And I'm sure at least some of you have heard of a succubus(or the male variant, incubus), which in some historic descriptions were also known to sit on people's chests as they slept. Even the word "nightmare" finds its roots in such a demonic creature.

If you then consider that, for example, alien abduction reports didn't start until humanoid grey alien media were created and it depends on where you come from what kind of form the "ominous person strangling or crushing you" takes, you can clearly see that it's all between your ears and that you are basically creating your own experience by drawing from your subconscious fears and/or traumatic experiences.

It's also quite intriguing to note that a lot of other symptoms and triggers are similar in people who experience sleep paralysis. The feeling of the body being out of proportion, abdominal pressure unrelated to chest pressure, incoherent colour observance, stressful times before an episode, watching a scary film, having to endure long periods of high adrenaline levels, a consistent lack of sleep resulting in a physical shutdown, etc.

Sometimes it is kind of funny to see what our brains get up to when you can isolate one area of them and have the rest at idle.

Arie's posts always make me feel proud to be Dutch(and I'm not a very patriotic person).

I've experienced it anywhere from one to ~five times a year since I was 13 years old in varying degrees. Sometimes it's full-blown dreaming until I lose consciousness again and wake up in the morning or half an hour later, sometimes it's a dream which slowly fades until it stops and I'm awake and lucid again. Then there are times I just can't move or where I wake up looking at my alarm clock and feet and it feels like they're a million miles away and my arms would have to be as long as the Chinese Wall to touch them. Sometimes little things just don't seem right, like a gardening trowel on top of my keyboard or a raspberry vine growing over my bed.

The first time it happened I was close to panic at first, but it turned into what I still consider the most important experience in my life. All the occurrences since then have been very meaningful to me and often occured when I was feeling mentally tired and served to refresh my mind. Recently though, I've been having a very unstable heart rhythm and I had an episode of sleep paralysis while this was going on. It wasn't fun, but I realised that even if I had physical control it wouldn't have been any better and I think all-in-all I was less worried and stressed than I would've been if I were awake for it. Then again I might just have dreamt it because it's happened before when I was awake, like a memory manifesting in a dream or something.

Go to Settings > Interface > Set Taskbar Preferences and check if the Servers checkbox has been unchecked, perhaps due to an update. It still works for me.
