haven't really followed but i saw people kept calling some self driving car service just to light them on fire which was funny

dont really post my stuff here anymore but this one is about frag videos as a medium and what they can mean to people which i thought tftv might like

i think group stages being old config makes sense in the interest of time and playoffs on prog ruleset makes sense in the interest of game quality and removing garbage time/soft garbage time
im pretty sure rgl pugs use a 20 minute clock +overtime for that exact reason. obviously games where teams can't push will still run long but it still makes those pugs much shorter on average so i don't see 30 mins as gospel and it honestly seems more like an "ancestral trait" so to speak, rather than a number with a considered purpose

it's remarkable that an org as young as fireside was able to pull something like this off and its thanks to the fireside & production crew and all the work they put in leading up to and during the event
everyone i talked to and everyone who came up to me were really pleasant to speak with
shoutouts to the aussies and euros for making the journey and playing so well
i already knew I'd enjoy meeting people I've known or talked with before but i didn't know benpl at all and he was great to meet and also make production a lot better with his knowledge of the european scene

yeah i guess i shouldve specified that on day 3 they were. going into the tourney they looked like the favorites and most of the people i talked to at the time seemed to agree, but the scrim logs weren't fully replicated in the first couple days
everything else you say is totally true

the reasons that wg eu were underdogs were that they were playing against a team that had already beat them on two separate days without dropping a map in that same tournament
and also that eu hadnt ever won on na soil
and that they were playing on a config they aren't familiar with among unlocks they have banned
and that the team who consistently beat eu got basically replaced as #1 in rgl by the team they were playing

and in my opinion the fact that they were underdogs also makes their victory even more impressive and deserved

eu definitely wanted it the most and it helped that they played really well when it mattered

so by being 5-6 does that mean froyo is in a superposition of having played really well and not?

technical difficulties, were live now

from what i can tell there isnt any
imo you cant really transfer a pov clip to a phone aspect ratio without it looking bad or missing info, but there's definitely potential for creative bite sized 6s stuff to be entertaining, it just takes some work to actually match the medium

let his success go straight to his head. SHAMEFUL

this one

ironic israeli flag to dogshit posts true combo

With the advent of a new publicly-released TF2 sdk I think the question that's weighing on everyone's minds quite heavily is this: how do we make 6s more realistic? Realism is always sought after in the gaming industry and newer releases are constantly raising the bar. While I think adding lunch breaks for the mercs or even perhaps have them go on a period-accurate strikes and get killed by Pinkertons are both much needed injections, I can't help but think that the most appropriate change for such a movement and physics-based game is to update the format to match our current understanding of physics.

I won't pretend to be more than a layman on the subject, but from my understanding Einsteins Theory of General Relativity states that rather than space and time being separate but connected concepts, they are both a piece of one whole: spacetime. To add to this, the curvature of this spacetime explains our understanding of gravity and energy, at least in the large scale.

There are so many different gameplay implications to the theory of general relativity being applied to competitive Team Fortress 2 6v6, such as black holes or different masses for different unlocks changing how projectiles interact with you. However, given that tf2 already has a hard limit to the velocity that you can travel of 3500 hammer units per second (hu/s), or "maxvel", the obvious parallel is to that of the speed of light. Much like TF2, the universe itself has a hard limit on how fast one can travel: the speed of light, or c. General relativity states that since space and time are actually just spacetime, approaching the speed of light and traveling at such a fast velocity through space will then be accounted for through time, and time will in fact slow down so that that universal constant of c will not be exceeded.

I'm getting excited just thinking about 6s with spacetime, becoming the first multiplayer game with such a high level of realism, all in the best physics engine of all time: Source 1. In 6s, maxvel is not too difficult to reach, especially with an uber, so slowing down time for yourself will be both an extremely powerful and relatively accessible tool. Finally, both the sticky jumper and rocket jumper will become fully viable unlocks, and the already-potent strategy of a maxvel demo bomb through choke will become much more potent since the bomb will be effectively instantaneous from the perspective of the defenders.

Of course, there are some issues, just as there are issues with the theory of general relativity. On a small scale, these physics seem to work entirely differently, and modern physics is still searching to a unifying theory to connect general relativity with quantum physics, and that's a question that the tf2 community will have to solve. For example, rockets have no mass and no volume, occupying a single point. Do rockets behave like waves or mass-less particles? I don't have answers for these questions but i do think that if we as a community want to take serious steps towards bettering the scene, then implementing more realistic physics to 6s is the only obvious way forward.
