#20 Team Fortress 2 Hall of Fame? in TF2 General Discussion
TheFragileFrom the context of the first post (see: "Current Hall-of-Famers"), I would make this something a lot more official than just some guy who edits his first post.

How about this:

https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1u4MnkPeYGBxGaN9MkZBXsc6PZfdNXavbi2tDJ1ruVos/viewform

Feel free to nominate 5 10 people you think belong in the TF2 Hall of Fame.

I'll leave this up for a week, and, if it gets good traffic, I'll compile and tally all the responses, make a cutoff and vote on the top 10-20% or so.

Edit:
Changed it from 5 to 10 nominations per person

Cote d'Ivoire for sure.

It counts as a win if they can (finally) make it out of group.

#15 Game Of Thrones in Off Topic
RigelthrasherSeeing how they have been changing some of the story arcs from the books lately I really wonder how close they will stay to the books for the trial by combat.
Most of the King's Landing arc has stayed true to the source material, so I don't feel that they will change much. A lot of the trial, especially the last few lines from Tyrion, came straight from the books.
Show Content
I was initially worried that Tyrion's final move in Westeros would be changed, but I think the return of Shae put that worry to rest.

Overall I think the changes they made this season were excellent. The Bran story arc showed a lot about Bran's character, more-so than the book did at this point, and even though the whole trip by Jon to Craster's was kind of unwise (committing 10% of his forces to shut someone up, including some of his best fighters, and to a place he knows murderers now live, white walkers lurk near - and for some reason Bran would be attracted to it?), it was well executed in the end and tied up some worries book-readers had. Book Bran at this point is kind of boring anyway, he just kind of wanders the north for a while, waiting for his Hands to get Cold.

WHY?
use a fucking spoiler tag

#12 Need help getting back up again in Off Topic

Woof. Sounds like you're having a really rough time. I'm so sorry you have to deal with this.

Speaking as someone who's been through this, these all sound like classic depression symptoms: lack of sleep, crying yourself to sleep, change in motivation, lowered self esteem, loss of interests, not eating.
You're checking all the boxes here.

And depression sucks. A lot. It doesn't always need a reason to make you hate yourself and want to sit inside alone all day doing nothing but binge-watching netflix.

And while some of this advice here is great (and some of it is so-so), the best thing you can do for yourself is seek professional help because it's unlikely that you'll be able to think yourself out of this on your own. Advice like "go and do it even if you don't want to" and "exercise" and "get sun" is great - seriously it is and you should try it - but it treats lack-of-motivation as the problem. It isn't the problem. It's a symptom. And you can treat it all you want but it won't fix the chemicals in your brain. I know because I spent months with my depression trying to self-motivate myself out of it. I tried everything. I exercised daily, got sun, changed all my habits. But at the end of the day I was still unhappy. And the truth was that I couldn't do it on my own, and there's absolutely no shame in that.

Right now, you're probably hella frustrated in yourself because you got yourself into this mess and you can't get out. I know I felt like a failure when I found myself in that place. But I promise it's okay. It doesn't make you a failure or a worse person or any of that. It's totally okay to struggle and ask for help. If what you're dealing with is hard, then it's hard. Doesn't matter if other people have it "hard" or "harder" than you do. You have your own struggle, and that's real. And you should feel good about coming on here and asking for help. It means you're taking steps to put your life back together, which is awesome.

Feel free to PM me if you have any other questions, or you want to chat about things like this. I have a pretty decent amount of experience with depression, anxiety, and therapy, and am happy to listen.

Good luck!
There will always be bad days, but eventually the good ones will come back, too.

#13 foster lf place to live this summer in Off Topic

You can't stay at my place indefinitely, but if you're in a bind you can crash on my couch for a few days while you try to get set up.

I live in Sherman Oaks, which is just up the 405 from Santa Monica.

Let me know

#42 Evaluating good play from stats/logs in TF2 General Discussion
Ggglygycant win if you don't cap 8)

Actually thinking something very similar.

In baseball, the advanced sabremetrics are evaluating one thing and one thing only: runs scored.

Ultimately, the only thing that truly matters in tf2 are last point caps. Everything else is an indirect measure of a teams effectiveness at capping the last point. It would be interesting to frame these stat analyses by evaluating how good of a predictor of last point caps something is.

#40 ESEA Invite: Froyotech vs. Classic Mixup in Events
thesupremecommandercookiesnipMixup can't coast if they want the 2nd seed, given that Exertus is only one game behind if froyotech wins tonight.

Don't 2nd and 3rd seed play eachother first round? So whats the difference?

#29 Twitch TFTV invitational ideas in TF2 General Discussion

This sounds awesome.

You might want to consider that a 6 team bracket after the group stages will lead to a lot of byes.

Either
You could either add a fourth group, or allow twitch voters to vote in two wildcard teams to round it out at 8.

I think wildcards would be swell

#64 ESEA S16 - half of the season in TF2 General Discussion
extracrispyESEA-ShooterDid you guys open tickets, under Client?
Yes we did. Twice in fact. And both times they copied and pasted "a fix".
if you could look into this further for us we would greatly appreciate it!

ticket #155718

Thank all of you guys for the suggestions, but unfortunately none of them have worked. We've tried restarting his pc, updating windows, different versions of mumble, reinstalling tf2, verifying his game cache, launching tf2 from client without his autoexec, and reinstalling client about 40 times.

anymore suggestions?

I remember reading that quite a few people were having problems with this that were related to a very specific mumble version.

Try updating mumble ( or just opening without it) and see if that helps.

#9 [Serious]Any help with death? in Off Topic

Hey FZero,

Really sorry to hear you're going through such a rough time. I cannot imagine that much loss so quickly.

If you're thinking meditation/yoga/something calming, I might recommend this site (and this post) here.

It's about learning to let go of attachments, something that I have found to be incredibly challenging and also really valuable in my own life.

Hope you can find what you're looking for.

#75 suicide. in Off Topic

Hey man,

I'm very sorry to hear you're going through this. This sucks. No doubt about it, it's no kind of fun to be where you are right now. I hope very much that you can find the road out!

I've dealt with some form of depression or anxiety for most of my life.

I know exactly what you mean when you say you can't control the obsessions. I've had violent intrusions since I was about 5.
I know that with depression, too, it's so easy to get caught in a self destructive loop of thought. It's so terrifying. Myself and my disease are capable of making me feel completely worthless at a moment's notice.

I have had low points. I have begun to believe that there was no way out. Because down there, near rock bottom, it looks like you're impossibly far from happy.

The good news is that the way out isn't a 10 mile leap. It's just one step after another. And I promise that there is always a way.

If you want to make the climb, sometimes it will be hard. Sometimes it will be lonely. Sometimes it will seem like no one cares. Sometimes you will wake up and it will be a struggle to even get out of bed.

But sometimes, you will make progress. You will see how much better things can be. You will find people who extend a hand or drop you a rope.

And it won't always be perfect, but there is life after survival.
That I promise.

There is always, always a road to recovery.
As long as you're alive, it is never too late. You are never too far gone.

With 100% honesty I can tell you that I believe you are capable of doing it.

I wish you the best of luck, and the greatest of futures.
May you find your way out.

Dear future:

If you run into an asshole in the morning, you ran into an asshole.
If you run into assholes all day, you're the asshole.

Sincerely,
