Yea it can happen. Have had friends who've had the same happen to them when they tried using Lawena. I always make my own backup before recording to make sure

Kars for skill. I'd also count Mystt. Though Mystt and I've never been on the same roster we've played at least 100 mixes together at this point so it basically feels like we've been
edit: also Zolak. br soldier. Played with him at copenhagen19. Felt really bad for him because he's very good and could've played on a good LAN team but ended up on our mid/div2 mix

Huskuas for friendliness

A lot of people agreed when it was released. It's fine to mention OW and how TF2 names finally got the recognition they deserved but it focused on it way too much.

Things make more sense now with the logs of Dashner expressing bitterness towards TFTV because they didn't want to move to OW and the birth of essentials.tf

doesn't sound like something castingessentials does

Did you use Lawena? because that clears your custom folder and replaces it with its own stuff. It's possible you didn't end the program correctly causing it to not have the opportunity to put your stuff back.

If you used Lawena, check your tf folder. It creates back up files of your personal stuff. Don't remember what they're named but I think they're zip files with the word "bak" in the file name?

replace in tf\custom\m0rehud\scripts

Made this in 2 minutes. All you have to do is remove the content is HudHealthBonusPulse and HudHealthDyingPulse. Didn't test in-game but should work. If it doesn't, just open your own file and do it in there

am excited

it was yes. From his perspective it's probably not common to see random community people come in to organize part of an esport event. So to him the mention of an admin meant BTS staff

I've replied to the article with a correction so he might edit it later idk

true I take back what I said

A couple options. Can be mixed and matched

scattergun damage/knockback nerf
A damage nerf of the scattergun to be the same as the soldier/pyro/etc shotgun would be a 10%ish decrease and would also linearly lower the knockback to deny rocket jumps

full damage meatshots won't 2 shot a 200 hp soldier anymore. On paper a big nerf to scout, though in practice more subtle since 200 hp soldiers aren't that common. Though it would encourage tanking demo/pocket soldier more since they'd be harder to wm1 into as scout.

Further decreasing knockback to be around 70% of what it currently is would be fine (imo)
Scouts can still deny, but a fast moving soldier will be way harder to stop in its tracks

medic speed buff revert
Already discussed plenty in the past so not going to write a paragraph about it

soldier/demo buffs
Further decreasing base rocket/sticky jumping self-damage. Making gunboats apply damage reduction even if you hit an enemy target. self-damage should never take more than 30 hp imo

idk about this one
Making soldiers walk at demoman speed? Would make it easier for soldiers to lead in an uber trade through chokepoints. big Rando buff

edit: I agree with YeeHaw's comment on page 2 so nvm the scatter damage nerf (though knockback nerf definitely still a viable option)

Except if you'd read Console's posts thoroughly you would've read he still believes dashner was improving and still believes he can be saved (which I personally disagree with because since my own experiences I've met other people like them and if there's anything I've learnt since then it's that none of these people will ever change).

This thread was made to clarify one of the reasons LAN admins stepped down.

Dashner actively tried to sabotage a LAN livestream, but sure we're the ones killing the scene.

I'm getting the feeling you didn't actually read anything other than half of the OP and made up your mind then and there. Don't respond to a thread before you read what's in it, my dude. You're just guilt tripping victims for no reason.

The folder for TGAs should be on the same disk as your TF2 files. I made a TGA folder in my tf folder.
I combine AVI recorder with Lawena to skip the VirtualDub step. Speeds things up a lot

Slowing the game down is a simple console command that's used when hitting the record bind. so it slowing down doesn't necessarily mean you're recording. If your audio has the thing where it does that horrible audio loop you're on the right track.

If you are recording you should have files like a_000001.tga somewhere so make sure to search for those

In high school I was sexually assaulted 3 or 4 times by the same person. I'm uncertain about the exact number because my mind has since then been trying its best to suppress the memories.

I never told anyone. I was afraid nobody would take me serious. That no action would be taken if I'd tell people. That they'd jump to the person's defense.
To this day only a few people I know online know "something" happened. I never told anyone IRL. I'm pretty sure this is the first time I mention the amount.

The thing is my lack of actions made the person get away with it. And potentially it enabled them to find more victims. Perhaps I wasn't their first victim either. It's been 8 years but I wish I could go back and prevent that from happening.

It hurts to see the same happening in this scene too. I'm sorry Console and Uberchain. I knew as well, but kept quiet because I kept telling myself I wasn't in a position to do so and it was up to Uberchain to make that decision.
Even worse is I've heard about a victim of another assault who tried coming forward to people they trusted, but was met with denial and them jumping to the defense of the accused. Something that has been my personal nightmare for almost a decade.

I believe it is wrong to spread information about this without the consent of the victim. But coming from the perspective of one, it is difficult to accept something has to be/can be done. People like us need support from others to gather the courage to combat this behavior. Please do not downplay things when someone comes forward about being a victim.

To any other victims out there I'd like to say it is important you talk to others. Taking action against the abuser is a choice I won't make for you, but you're not in this alone. And if you take action maybe you can save future victims. These types of people do not change.

I wish I could go back in time so i could've told someone.

you can do it whenever just make sure you're launching tf2 in insecure mode

Do you get the message in console that it loaded correctly when you start the game?

be sure to use -insecure in launch options if not (if you're using Lawena you can set the custom launch option in its settings)

but then how will you fully gain the trust of voldemort?
