there are a few more spots open for qualifier #2 tomorrow. hurry and register before it's too late!

i’m so excited that this is coming together.
a full year of planning that went into mge.tf’s eu league, and now with a huge blowout event for north america.
tf2 has mechanical depth and micro strategy that are still unrivaled by any modern shooter that has come out (and managed to stay alive) since.
i hope everyone enjoys playing & watching our event.
godspeed to the competitors.

My Gaming Edge

awesome & noble effort. best of luck to you & this project.

i don't know odin nor have i seen the demos, but is everyone sure that it's "interp abuse" and not something more insidious like backtracking? typically having high interp is a double-edged sword that makes it hard to react to new information, especially projectiles, and high interp really doesn't make you hit harder/more consistently than playing with low interp on a stable & especially low latency connection. if someone is hitting that outrageously such that AC is forced to make a decision, i would absolutely not assume the best from someone.

i’m very happy to be a part of this endeavor. neptune is a rare sort that puts in a ton of effort into making his vision a reality. i can vouch for his passion & hard work towards making MGE the most exciting & rewarding gamemode you can play. i hope everyone has a great first season, and please give us feedback or even reach out if you’d like to help.

let's gooooooo
excited to tune in

bump!

do you have steam cloud synchronization disabled for tf2, did you add snapshot_buffer=custom in your overrides/modules.cfg, and did you add class config files in your overrides folder with your desired cl_interp_ratio and cl_interp?

Hey everyone! MGE.tf is hosting a cup between July 27th-28th, and we're really looking to get more exposure from high-level players for our invite division hosted on July 28th. If you & your friend have RGL advanced+ experience and/or are vouched for having equivalent MGE skills, we'd love to see your team apply for our invite division. Our criteria to play our invite division is, more than anything, an ambition to play at the highest levels & a track record of doing so. As such, we've reserved 320 keys of our prize pool for the invite division, with the minimum prize of 3rd place winning 40 keys! We only have 7 teams currently applied to invite, and while we're OK with a minimum of 8 invite teams, we're looking to support as many as 16 invite teams!

More information can be found in our event post: https://www.teamfortress.tv/64725/dolphinrider-mge-cup-sponsored-by-mannco-store-invite-bracket

Fireside Casts has been gracious enough to offer their casting talent & services, so expect your time on the spotlight!

tob's crosshair repo has variants (https://github.com/KobeTob/TobVTF/tree/master/Dots)
same with venom's crosshair repo (https://github.com/hbivnm/Venom-Crosshairs-List)

i wasn't really thinking about generality when i color-coded mine, so theirs could be strictly better. shout-out to them for compiling so many crosshairs.

too many closet cheaters in gaming nowadays. please keep up being skeptical and reporting on any basis of suspicion; the problem is just going to keep getting worse across basically every game until trusted hardware & DRM-enabled HMDs are enforced/accessible (if ever). even in pubs and mge, i hate having to play stupid psychological warfare games against people that obviously want to sandbag and have close battles when they clearly have no idea what they're doing.

ah yeah, that's my regular gaming posture (also with a less steep keyboard angle).
i also recently switched from WASD to IJKL binds to try to isolate any strain caused by my arm span (+ to avoid my mouse bumping into my keyboard on left flicks, as my current favorite mousepad isn't a deskpad & so i have to be mindful of mousepad-keyboard spacing) and to also unlock some extra binds for my pinky & thumb. it works well with that V-shaped posture. unfortunately, it didn't alleviate my wrist + fingers cramps.

for reference, this is the shape of my current desk surface so my keyboard is quite a bit more forward on the desk than your reference image & the curve doesn't provide any fundamental elbow support vs a flat edge on a regular rectangular surface. was thinking that this curve could be exacerbating some problems, so i'm completely open to suggestions for large desks that people like, as long as they can support multi-monitor weight & are fairy long + wide. any L-desk users by chance?

ur referring to putting the keyboard on ur lap, right?
might be a good perspective switch. i'm used to having my arm + wrist fully supported by a surface, but maybe it's exacerbating an issue. i'll give it a try, although i'm a bit worried about the ergonomics between switching from mouse + keyboard usage to typing/keyboard-focused usage. maybe two keyboards is the play...

my left hand isn't what it used to be, and i'm looking 2 do anything to reduce fatigue + pain.

i have a few rests that suffice for regular typing, but i don't deal with the same issues because i can pace myself while working as opposed to gaming. i think my biggest weakness is that my desk doesn't really support my elbow at all, and my chair's arm rest, while it can go over my desk, is a bit too exaggerated & i lose the overall arm support that i would get by planting my arm on the desk. my current setup is to switch between this and that, but i'm looking for something that supports my whole arm + elbow, or can accompany the two.

ideally i'd like to not replace my keyboard, as i love my wooting 60he for gaming, but if there's any equivalent hall effect gaming-focused split keyboards, would love to know.

since tf2 is a pretty intense game & lots of us are getting older, wonder if anyone else here has been trying to fix their ergonomics & has worked against RSI problems with special equipment.
