A large part of the selling/stockpiling that was going on came from fraudulent groups. Those groups will move on to some other thing like G2A game keys, which they've been doing for years anyway.

Keep in mind actual trading in cs:go has now become "smaller" with all the fraud being gone. Only way this has big impact on TF2 keys is if the fraudulent groups were to move on to TF2 which Valve would just respond to by also making TF2 keys untradeable

My prediction is cs:go traders just find their version of TF2 earbuds with some popular AWP or AK skin.

The legit people that traded 100s of keys per day made major profits for a long time so in the end the loss they face now doesn't impact them as much as they will complain about. Calling them 'legit' is also grey area because many were probably aware where the keys were coming from

Anyway trading is lame. Thanks for reading my essay

Like kermit said VAC won't care.
The main issue is the other stuff it'd potentially allow.

It's a grey area for playing in leagues, though I doubt they'd care much about flame particles. There's other things like the box shadows exploit, sound replacements, etc which in the context of league play would be actual cheats and replacing/removing files like this is one way to find such exploits

Enjoy your lack of pyro flames!

Correct. It'd require preloading custom particles which doesn't work due to sv_pure.
There are exploits but the few that know it never made it public because it'd allow for things like preloading the gamebanana wallhack textures

I think you're doing good.

First link appears to be a dumm/beater cast?

Main point of criticism I can offer is that you sometimes take over completely and keep play-by-playing. Even if some action is happening it's alright to just let the analysis take over for a bit. Some moments like that are in the gully sauna slayer/ascent game with eemes.

It's important for both casters and the viewers that there's a back and forth, even if a lot of action is happening.
Idk about most people but if play-by-play goes on for over a minute I tend to start zoning it out. I assume a lot of viewers eventually just focus on the gameplay instead of the commentary like I do if there's little variation

Just a thing that comes with experience. Plenty of play-by-play casters start off that way. I remember in the gully game eemes said he didn't want to interrupt, but imo any caster should be able to interrupt the other if they go for too long. it helps the overall quality of the cast from the perspective of the viewers

BTS will be standard rules/whitelist but he's still gonna show up.

He's playing traditional 6s in RGL.

B4nny's logic only applies if it's convenient for him

From what is said at "deeper explanation" he seems to believe stagnation for potential payoffs is bad. But he also believes we just need to give Valve more time and comp feedback and they'll start supporting us. Makes no sense

I miss the pyro update because it bugged flames for certain specs causing all flames to be invisible. good times. One of those things they shouldn't fix

You can't remove pyro flames unless you use some serious exploits with preloading. Aka the ones that allow you to preload anything. even the gamebanana wallhacks. So you'd need an actual cheat for it

up to Geel and I doubt he wants to take the risk.
he's trying to run a legitimate business unlike the extremely shady sites those cs:go youtubers advertise

see if you can exec whatever cfg folder contains your binds manually through console.
when you type "exec " into the console it should be autocompleting. If it doesn't show up in there you probably misplaced your binds in a wrong branch

Also make sure there is an autoexec.cfg which actually execs your cfg file with your binds. or put your binds in your autoexec (if you have your binds in autoexec but they still don't work in game you definitely didn't place it in the correct folder)

I play it when I'm home during the day and TF2 is dead. If you're grinding it when you could be playing inhouses/pugchamp/whatever you're doing it wrong. Even tf2center is better practise

Most of the gamemodes don't require any movement so it's good for aim warmup, but it's only focusing on 1 aspect of the many things you need to be able to do

Working at a general store. Overall it's ok. Customers like me and I rarely have any negative interactions with them. Most frustrations come from other coworkers not doing what's expected of them though they're cool people 99% of the time.

Still living at home so I don't really need the money and can save most of it for later. Only reason I work there is to keep myself busy. I took a gap year from studying to figure out what I wanted to do with my life. I knew sitting at home for a year wouldn't be good for my mental health because I tend to close myself off. So I asked them if they'd accept me fulltime and they asked me when I could start

I studied chemistry before and combined it with the same job as student job for 5-6 years. Did it fulltime for the past year. This is actually my final week of working fulltime. Starting next week I'm starting parttime so I can combine it with the new degree I'm going for: Programming. Started classes at the end of September and really enjoying it so far

saying it looks too slow based on an early dev trailer really isnt how things work. just compare tf2/csgo/ow/quake early dev trailers to actual gameplay

I like the art style/minimalism its got going so far but hard to tell if that'll stay. No real HUD developed yet so that can go south still. though imo if riot has been ok at anything over the years it's not having as much visual clutter like blizzard games and in some cases dota
