Good point.

Telling someone that their opinion is a joke is not a good way of convincing them to come around to your viewpoint. Enough people have expressed reasonable misgivings in this thread that perhaps there is some value in meeting their requests.

And you might ask, why should you care that their "joke" opinion is changed? Well, because the end goal is "to support TF2 as much as possible", so the more people on board with this the better.

I am not going for it at the current price. I do not believe that the ~8,000 users enigma referenced each amount to $5 in advertising and server load per month, nor even $2.50 if you consider site running costs as a separate overhead.

Twitch TV's subscription model has plenty of justifiable critics too.

Rebooting your router after you've done all the other care-taking steps might be a good idea as well - depending on your ISP it may result in you having a new IP address, in case an attacker already has yours stored previously.

What's the gist of the pizza.gg affair? Just that Papa John's were tapping into the "because esports" pathos, or was there some nefarious accounting aspect?

It seems that TF2 is lucky in that it generally keeps its money within the community...

Ah, the ol' "air strafing every double-jump except really screwing up the keypress timing sometimes" trick

not for gaming, their soundstage is small

Really liked this release from Hellfyre Club (an "art rap" label)-

And a Japanese beat tape I enjoyed recently -

I got it as well. Rebooted my PC and router and it fixed it. Restarting Steam did not work for me initially (although I did not delete the blob file).

If anyone has some downloaded that aren't there, get in touch on steam or quakenet.

won't someone think of the kilobytes

guess I've been excommunicated
