Man I was a huge fan of the series up until the last two books, book 4 wasn't the best, but I held faith for 5. I thought wind and truth ended up being a pretty big disappointment. I feel like the story and the universe are just getting way bigger than is enjoyable to read about in one series. I'm kinda checked out at this point after reading the stormlight archive since it first came out.

The books all have great moments, and I know you need peaks and troughs, but man they're so far apart that I barely cared by the end. If Sanderson cuts down the word count by like 30% I might read the next in the series, but it's Sanderson so that won't happen.

Didn't say in my last post but I'm currently reading The Library at Mount Char, it's been ok so far.

I've read a few books since my last post, my main highlights include:

House of Leaves: Highly rated and lived up to the hype imo, a little weird to begin with but it just keeps on giving. I did read it on kindle so I believe I missed out on a lot of shit regarding the physical layout of the pages and text.

A Short Stay in Hell: Amazing novella that I really do wish was longer, but that would probably defeat the purpose.

The Portrait of Dorian Gray: A very enjoyeable read and timelessly relevant.

There might be something older, but this comes to mind:

Writing this out really makes me feel old. I remember the feeling of dejection when the Immunity boys lost back at i52, I was rooting for them so much. The walk back from where I was watching the game to the actual lan hall (sort of hall, the ricoh arena was weird), the amount of people commiserating with the team, the happy cheers coming from basically only the mixup players that they had won.

Very glad to see that the curse is broken, even if it took a couple of years to happen, and even if it wasn't the overall win. The event also showed that it really goes to show that even as isolated as the scene in AU is, it's definitely not fallen behind at all. It was really sick seeing a full-on top level international LAN after so long, it's got me looking forward to playing this season (in mid, I'm washed).

Congrats to the eu witness lads too, it wasn't ever in doubt though.

I do not see my boys oodles or inso in S-tier (from the thumbnail, I'm going no further.), list means nothing.

Unless he's edited the OP since you asked, it says he was banned for cheating. Claims there was no cheating in comp (just pubs) but that doesn't really matter anyway, for this thread at least.

alias +xhair "bind "q" "load_itempreset 2";bind "e" "load_itempreset 1";"

alias -xhair "bind "q" "load_itempreset 3";bind "e" "load_itempreset 0";"

bind  "shift" "+xhair"

I modified a bind I used for something similar, give that a try.

This clip is the reason I played scout for almost 7 years.

idk if it's specifically this edit, but https://comfig.app/huds/page/cbhud-bowswer5/

In HudDamageAccount there's the lines

"text_x" "0"
"text_y" "0"
"delta_item_end_y" "0"

Change them around a bit to move the number.

Not exactly the same genre but Loathe are a fucking amazing band. I'm pretty sure you'll be into at least a few songs, if not loads. White Hot is my current favourite but a lot of "I Let It In" goes hard.

Seeing as this has already been necro'd.

Fucking hell, what a sad read this thread was. There was so much hope in the community for matchmaking, so many people thinking that the game would be at least a bit more legitimised as an esport. That it might go somewhere, if not to massive heights. I say this because I was one of those people, I remember friends getting in to the beta for MM and desparately wanting my own pass to try it out. Between 0 unlock bans/class limits/forced graphics/short bo3 games, and valve not listening to the comp community, it was really no surprise that it died so fast.

That's not even mentioning the rampant cheaters/bot accounts that were everywhere in pubs.

Man, valve really fucked it all up.

Anyone else get an invite to playtest? I got one yesterday that I've just seen now,
