Try stroking it and If that doesn't work try again in a little bit. The most important thing is to make sure he doesn't feel pressured.

Bandcamp is donating all of their proceeds today to the American Civil Liberties Union (https://www.aclu.org/) today so I figured it would be a good idea to compile all of the bandcamp links posted in this thread so far because now is a better time than ever to support independent artists and fellow tf2 enthusiasts.

Hey so our thing is up for pre-order and comes out on the 14th :D I decided to post this today because Bandcamp is donating their share of the proceeds to the American Civil Liberties Union (https://www.aclu.org/), so we decided that we should hop on the charity train and donate all of our proceeds to the International Rescue Committee (https://www.rescue.org/) for now until the foreseeable future (when i need to pay for esea fees/pay pankeyman back for his illuminated insight on the shadow realm beneath the systems of e-sports capitalism.)

Hi, I've never actually maincalled on a team but i love being a tryhard team leader on tf2center.com. I'm not sure what class you play but I'm going to guess pocket.

• tell your team beforehand that it would help you a lot if everyone could try to follow your calls even if they think you're making the wrong decision. This makes it much easier for you and everyone else to learn which decisions were actually bad and which didnt work because only half of the team committed. Obviously, if theres a big reason for you guys not to push like "i just dropped" or "but they're respawning now" then yeah listen to them, but if its something a bit more subjective like pushing right or left then then they should probably just listen to you.
  
• Make sure your commands sound like commands and not like questions and vice versa. In the heat of the moment its really easy to mix up "should we go in?" and "lets go in".
  
• Don't just press tab to see if people are with you. Use your eyes to see who's around you and don't be afraid to ask if everyone is ready to push.
  
• Since most pushes start off with you rocket jumping to make space, make sure to call it. It helps everyone else know when you're actually in and not just shotgunning stickies on the floor.

hi, i think i am sort of looking again. I would like to play scout on a mid-im team but i know its kinda late to be looking so i'll play whatever for whoever. I'm free on standard scrim nights except for tuesday where i might be able to make it back home in time for a 10est scrim/match but I can't make make any promises. For this season at least, i think i would be best suited for a team thats looking to have a good time playing esea opposed to one where the goal is to improve as much as possible. I don't mind playing open at all but i would prefer to play soldier or demo if thats going to be the case.

It's definitely not going to a party and socializing irl. I tried that last night and it was a huge mistake.

*Reach for chips*
"Pffft"
"Huh?"
"Nothing I'm sorry you just reached in a weird way"

I'm never going outside again.

nope but i am now and i'm really enjoying it. thank u mustard.

There's another thread like this but its 2 years old and in another subforum so i figured i may as well make another one here. My recommendations list ended up being a skramz starterpack (the 6v6 elitist version of screamo) for the most part but there's some other stuff mixed in there too. Lately i've been trying to get more into black metal so if you have any recommendations I'd really appreciate it!

skramz(real screamo!!!lol) with a bit of a post/black metal feel sprinkled in, yet still melodic and varied in tone and energy. I saw them about a year ago at a house show and it was probably one of the most intense, intimate, and unfortunately non-sexual experiences I've ever had. If you're into some of the more extreme kinds of metal and want to a place to start from with skramz I'd recommend checking these guys out.

Here's a really fun and well executed emoviolence (i'm not joking) band. They kinda sound like the band above but more to the point and obnoxious in a good way. To get an idea of what I mean, I ordered a tape from them and they packed it with "thank you so much #dismantlehardcore" written in sharpie on a single magic the gathering card.

skramz with atmospheric post-rock elements and unique vocals, really artsy and passionate.

Really technical and frantic skramz. This album is at its best when played as a whole and has some of the most creative guitar playing and drumming I've ever heard.

Not sure how to describe them, but i guess some sort of black metal. Someone on youtube called them war metal.

jazzy piano + shrieking japanese lady + hardcore. Basically the musical equivalent of Nichijou. this song sounds kinda like system of a down (a band i feel so dumb for overlooking) but they're pretty all over the place.

Can we please stop being so tolerant towards people being shitty to new players before the game even starts? If a captain makes an obviously poor pick let him know but try to phrase it in a "dude why didnt you pick pokemonizepic? he's the best pocket in the game" and not "wtf why did u pick ninjacarl99". I'm not trying to call anyone out in particular, I just want people to be more aware of it because it really doesn't help. I'm all for shittalking within reason and being an edgelord but it really shouldn't be directed at people just because they were unlucky enough to be picked by an ignorant captain. The dumbest fucking thing about people who do this shit though is that they clearly care a lot about winning but are acting in a way that obviously doesn't help. All you're doing is tilting them and making them nervous before the game even starts, making it harder for them to ask you for advice, and creating an environment where everyone is more likely to throw. All you have to do is be nice and most n00bz will let you micro the fuck out of them. It's good to be honest with people about their abilities and where they should be playing, but it's probably best to wait until after the game is over before you suggest mixchamp or faceit or whatever.

what do you expect twitch chat to be? some sort of real time theorycrafting thinktank?
