LOL I mean when I looked at the balance notes I was like "ok there's no way banny was involved closely with this"

but maybe he just stopped it being way worse?

Spam threads will be moved to the dumpster this is your LAST warning.

If I see one more "sideshow's stream ends and so does my life FeelsBadMan ̿̿ ̿̿ ̿̿ ̿'̿'\̵͇̿̿\." it's going in the bin.

I was very disappointed with the balance changes. I was hoping that an update that was heralded as "we might never have to use whitelists again!!1!" would deliver more important changes. A quick comparison of ETF2L's S24 bans on whitelist.tf against the patch notes shows very little of substance was altered. If they wanted a starting point they couldn't have asked for a more obvious one.

It does give me hope that we'll see further iterations in the future though. This patch on its own is underwhelming but if it's part of a trend of balance updates every so often then I'm more than happy.

I need that Fubar Fanfare.

Mostly because they haven't looked for sponsors, or value themselves higher than the sponsors do.

Everybody is hyped for TLR comeback but I'm more concerned that blaze wasn't playing and there's no fundraiser for froyo when it's already getting late...no good making a sick team if you can't attend iseries

I'm leaving because I recently got excluded from my university course (for reasons I won't go into) and therefore have to prioritise my future. I was barely scraping by with my stream income and sources from Overwatch - a choice I made consciously because I enjoyed what I was doing, no issues there, but it doesn't make sense to keep floating on rather than trying to make something of my work life. So I'm moving back in with my parents and finding a job to earn money to pay for a new degree or get training for another career. My family would also be rather annoyed if I went from student doctor to a full time memer.

In terms of dropping TF2 and streaming, but carrying on with OW writing/casting, it's just a case of work vs. reward. In the limited time I'll have outside working, I can't justify putting in hours of volunteer work for TF2 tournaments or coverage. It's fairly satisfying but it's quite a bit of work and I've lost money over the time spent doing it so not a good idea to carry on.

This will be true until leagues swap to hl0 :^)

Please do not donate, buttnose is a con artist. An excellent salesman but also a con artist..

They're not legally obligated to at all, they could undergo a whole series of informal negotiations before triggering it or decide not to at all. Would be a pretty huge U-turn though.

any more? Must be more people with footage of i46 somewhere! Or can find moments in casts? There was a whole documentary made.

You can play engineer if you want full time, you probably won't win though and your team-mates will dislike it.

I didn't realise the level of frags had been that good this season, there's some crazy shit in here. I hope the playoffs are just as mental!

I have learned and improved a range of talents that I otherwise would have had no reason to even consider developing. I think it's been a very real part of my progression as a person, and I wonder where I would have acquired the knowledge and insight into the things I have if not within TF2. Even though it's taken up a large amount of my life on serious reflection I don't regret it at all. Also met some awesome people!
