I'm glad that there's been movement to change the perception of depression, and mental health issues in general, as medical issues and real problems as opposed to viewing them as personal weakness or failing. I personally think people have been noticing, and the attitude towards it has been shifting in a positive way.

He went to the same highschool I did, I was a senior when he was a freshman. Really nice and genuine dude from what I saw.

Yeah, 78 degrees celsius sounds really bad, like much closer to boiling water than room temperature bad.

Do your temps go up like that only when you play TF2/other games? Or do you get BSOD's all the time?

Honestly, I really like the German Empire flag much more than the Current German/Weimar Republic Flag. Maybe I just hate gold/orange.

The HRE flag looks pretty cool too.

I go by Bobby as opposed to Robert so some people call me "DJ BJ". Some kid came up with the nickname for me in junior year of high school.

I haven't seen it used in 6's or HL, but I think that regardless of its power, any of the weapons that block a specific damage type (Danger Shield reducing bullet damage, Demo Shields reducing explosive damage) or target specific classes/damage source (Short Circuit destroying projectiles, Spycicle making you invulnerable to flames) is really lame and not fun to play against. It offers little counterplay from the class affected as there's basically nothing they can do to get around it. I don't think that has anything to do with it's use or it's effectiveness, just an opinion.

I knew a guy who was Thomas Thomas

I mean it does make it a little bit easier and visually nicer to organize things by month. Beyond that tho it's pretty dumb imo as I can't think of another reason why we do it.

Well i guess the timing is good on this then, since I am building a really nice new PC on saturday. If the problem persists even on the new PC i'll update the thread. Looking forward to having good frames while streaming!

yeah it looks like that, except a bit worse

i use PREC but don't sync or upload files to dropbox or anything, but it's tf2 and the bugs in this game are weird so it could be literally anything

40 headshots in 6 minutes is definitely fishy as shit and the guy looks really really obvious, but I think the damage stats on the server might be screwed up too. Back in silver the PBR server for my HL team had doubled damage stats, which led to stupid shit like this http://logs.tf/328484?highlight=76561198026003224

It makes more sense to me that he did ~500 dpm and everyone did ~200, as opposed to him doing 1000 and everyone else also doing ~400 dpm. Then again he did get 40 headshots in 6 minutes so 1000 isn't totally unreasonable then.

I tried changing my net settings (I use comanglia's config) from "good connnection" to "bad connection". Tonight in scrims, my ping was around 100 - 300 in pregame to a dallas server, usually around 100 so it was playable. After a round in, it jumped up to between 300 - 600 for the rest of the scrim. Immediately after the scrim ended it fell back down to 90. We had a scrim before that where it was fine the whole time, but that server was weird as it didn't have logs, sizzling stats, or a recent config at all. Any help with this would be appreciated! It's really frustrating because i can't scrim or pug at all.

I'll try to turn down compression.

I'm using an ethernet cable. I'll try setting TF2 to the highest QOS but I think it's already high if not highest.

Hey, so I have temporarily moved back to my mom's house for a month or two, where the internet isn't as great as where I normally live. It isn't terrible, I get around 1 mb/s download, and I can play most games just fine. My ping is tolerable whenever I pub or DM or MGE. Whenever I play comp or a pug though, my ping spikes to anywhere between 300 and 600, usually after a couple minutes of playing. This has been at different times in the day, and the only other person who could potentially be using the internet is my mother. Any help or advice would be appreciated.
