magmard u will burn in hell for leaving our team to play with honorless CHEATERS

alright whos tryna get an airbnb
gonna be a bitch to travel cross country mid semester and get behind on work but fuck it, it's been too long, gotta take the L to see the homies at lan

definitely feel this, playing the game is a great way to de-stress and hang out with the homies, but it definitely affected my sleep negatively, and the nightly commitment got tiresome and prevented me from doing stuff with roommates/friends (also grad school + tf2 is a bad combo lol)

the problem is the game is addicting so it's hard to not go back and try again, and things like sleep habits and general lifestyle changes take a long time, in my case i quit and was still in the rhythm of being alert at night and staying up late for months after quitting, but it eventually settled down and my body adjusted

as fun as it is playing the game in the moment, i am definitely happier overall and less stressed when not playing on a team or playing any games regularly

this thread changed my life thank u

i swear if RGL was just a tiny bit more hesitant to ban people none of these backlash threads would happen, i get ur striving to be as good as u can but its like a cop who arrests/shoots too many people lmao all the admins have to do is chill out for a bit and not ban anyone unless they do something really egregious

lol point still stands threads with one person (who doesnt even play in the league) incessantly posting are awful, oh look another RGL thread where i have to read through 15 setsul posts saying the same exact thing

can we talk about how Multiple People have successfully submitted renamed demos and gotten away with it and if antlers had been less honest and just done that, this probably all wouldn't have been an issue lmao

draconian rules on demos which dont even get watched the vast majority of the time (as evidenced by many people not getting in trouble for straight up submitting the wrong demos as sgc said) seems a little silly to me, also as air pointed out clearly the admins have not even been able to detect cheaters for long stretches of time despite them being mass reported by players and the cheaters providing demos, but rules are rules and given that they are in place it makes sense to enforce them (edit: i think the rules are stupid and demo checks should be way less often or at least not target the same guy 4 times in a given year or w.e. it was for antlers, given ive had like two tops in the last 3 years)

in my 3 seasons of RGL invite i dont think i got asked for my demos a single time, and last season in advanced i got asked one time, is there an actual system for how often you can expect to get asked for demos? the whole system just makes no sense and seems super inconsistent, but what else is new it's RGL

as much as i want to sympathize with antlers it really is not that hard to just have two separate folders for casting and for playing, with prec in the playing one, sucks to have someone who actually cares about the game get banned but u gotta get ur shit together, im p sure there were tftv threads fairly recently where i even posted about how i used to do a symlink switch with a .bat file (on windows) and avoid the hassle of dragging files in and out every time, if ur gonna do it manually and not try to find a better way to do it u just gotta do a good job of it or suffer the consequences

also, these threads are fucking painful to read man i get your point setsul and yea obviously being consistent with bans makes sense, but jfc just stop posting so much, this shit is like a mustardoverlord politics thread where u have to scroll thru the same shit over and over for multiple pages, just let ur earlier posts speak for themselves

not sure if this is intentional or not but the ability to add to multiple classes (and specific roles like pocket/roamer at least) would be nice

if the goal is quick pickups you might want to do a similar system from mixchamp (which in turn was inspired by tf2mix) where it will start the game if there are at least 12 people and the right distribution of classes (i.e., more than 2 meds, more than 2 demos, etc. so that it can actually pick the teams randomly and start)

site already feels much more responsive than pugchamp lol hopefully there will not be constant issues of the site going down and timing you out and stuff like that
i dont have much time to pug and dont like joining discords but if there was an online feedback form or something like that you could probably get useful feedback

history being made right here folks

fast horizontal jumps like jay does on this mid are super hard to dodge, also from the soldier's perspective there's pretty much no reason not to go for the spoon when you're doing saw bombs like this to get a potential -195 and retain two rockets to use after

def fun to use as a soldier but pretty gimmicky and silly mechanic to have in the game as there's pretty much no counter play to a soldier landing on u at mach ten with a spoon (a scout further up on highground on snake mid could've prevented the bomb but obviously u can just wait until a scout is pressured back), with regular bombs u can bait out rockets by dodging, surf, and the soldier has to hit at least two good directs to kill you as a medic versus one crit mg

kinda curious to see if some region will ban it for a season cause it surely won't change play that much but i think it'd be interesting to see the pain train/equlizer decision rather than every soldier aspiring to get good at mg and running it all the time lol

just take an online class in linguistics for fucks sake we are all losing braincells (pro tip: how do u think definitions get made? some all knowing human oracle snaps his finger and the word appears in merriam-webster? fuck no dude, language is constantly changing and new words are added based on common usage, even someone who knows nothing about linguistics knows this just based off common sense alone, maybe if u werent constantly crafting up new shitposts u could sit back and think about some of the stuff u say and realize how quickly it falls apart under even minimal scrutiny)

for someone who said in other threads that college is useless and a scam you really do perfectly prove the point that college is actually useful to educate ignorant morons like you who think they know what they're talking about and constantly talk out of their asses

edit: to reiterate, the reason ppl hate on u here is not that you are dumb, it is that you are so defensive and argumentative and refuse to admit that maybe you don't know what you're talking about. put the ego aside and stop posting like a pretentious prick and people will be fine with u asking questions even if they are a bit silly (look at rahmed he posted way too many silly threads and questions but wasnt an asshole about it so it wasn't a big deal)

nah max the dictionary has no bearing on AimIsADick he behaves by his own rules
honestly surprised he hasnt started spewing prescriptivist grammar bs about how in fact he is right and the rest of the world and the way language is actually used is wrong

i love how the counterargument to 'conflate already carries a negative connotation' was for AimIsADick, PhD, to say 'well, what if someone used it in the other sense of the word, to mix! then i would HAVE to specify' as if citing the fact that there are in fact Two Senses of a word means you have to bastardize the word with some awful prefix instead of just writing like a normal human and letting the reader decide which you mean based on a thing called Context

hello it is me, highschool philosopher mcgee, i shall resolve Every Single Possible Ambiguity in my War Against Context

i studied philosophy and am in grad school doing research in natural language processing but i hope my pedigree wont mis-disqualify me from discussion with sir AimIsADick (please do keep replying though i cant wait to make a chatbot version of u trained on your awful posts)
