You cant just change the folder names of Steam.

The shortcuts and filepath associations get coded based on where it is. Essentially you need to let steam know every time you change.

I think your best bet might be reinstall steam in that new directory, and then drag the game folders (common, drisks, etc) into the new directory from the fresh install.

Theres a way to do it with clientregistry.blob and clearing the whole steam folder but I've lost save data before doing this so I'd play it safe and keep all your stuff backed up .

Twitch on Chromecast is going to be huge for e-sports

This could be the best or worst thing to happen to twitch, only time will tell

My ability to argue on tf2 forums with disgusting non showering nerds (dummy, etc) is unparalleled

also make it clear im not singling out woodpig or dingo or anyone in particular. I think each team has at least 1 player guilty of a wtf name.

I'm just stating itd make my life and a lot of others easier as well as help your reputation/casting potential if youd standardize your names or make them quickly readable

its not so much aliasing as it is aliasing to dumb shit you can't pronounce or easily read at a glance

I'm not like looking for sympathy or excuses for getting tongue tied.

I don't know why youre comparing them to NaVi or EG Dota players, players that are world renowned in the eSports scene and could literally make their names anything and people would know exactly who they were just by what hero/position they were playing.

I just think its an added waste of time to study rosters and ask who's who every match when it can be avoided by players playing as the name they want to be referred to as.

Next season dingo's gonna post a looking thread when he gets cut from wood pig, and people are gonna be like who the shit were you, oh "isthisbetterflame"?? and people will think hes even more mentally disabled than they already did.

its really not helping anyone

I mean I could run client side plug-ins just to help myself and have to update it every roster change or the players could grow up and help everyone.

I don't control the camera anyway as I generally spec from medic 3rd person. Relying on the damage notices and info boxes is where this problem is stemming

not sure why you think you're being cute here.

if you guys want to be casted in a manner that'll reflect positively on your team with coherent sentences coming out of a commentators mouth then you'll change your names to legitimate shit.

If you want myself or people to just be like fuck it, its not worth the headache, then keep acting like a 12 yr old.

You don't really gain anything by arguing my point or being cutely arrogant, it just hurts you because next time they ask me if I wanna cast woodpig I'll just say no and we'll be back to people only watching Froyo/mixup/xTs.

This doesn't fly in Dota, or CSGO, and shouldn't in TF2 either.

I'm not really in the invite loop as much as I was as far as knowing who's who on what team.

It makes it really difficult to cast. Last night I tried to do play by play as a result of dummy pretty much flat out saying he wasn't going to do it. It gets insanely difficult when you don't recognize the player names or flat out can't read them because your HUD cuts them off after 15 characters and their tag+dumb long alias goes up to around 25.

Creates a situation where people get tongue tied trying to figure out whats going on.

"AND WE'RE GONNA SEE A NICE ROCKET FROM SEAGULL COMPLETELY SHUTTING DOWN CLOCKWORK"

flows a lot better than

"AND WE'RE GONNA SEE A NICE ROCKET FROM 420BIRDLOVERFROMWAX0 COMPLETELY SHUTTING DOWN CLOCKWORK"

it gets even harder when both names are dumb.

I hope I don't have to do play by play alone anymore since process isn't the most exciting map, and I'm not used to it, but the ability to do it would be much easier if players would just stop aliasing as dumb shit.

This thread got out of control real fast.

Literally I just want ESEA to enforce a rule that your ingame name needs to be decipherable up to 8 characters and reflect your forum/steam name. At least in invite if you guys want this game to be taken seriously at all by anyone.

The way I see it, the biggest issue with TF2 blowing up right now is good stream content. Matches are the only thing you can cast in most games and ESEA is the highest level around.

You're not helping the game grow by making your name WEEDSMOKER69420 or ROFLBLAZE5HEAD

help.

So were we.
