New desks came today

The streamer side of things on tf.tv is good, i52 VODs were really impressive watching back. The cheat sheet, the plugins everything is cool and I'm sure that there will be even more cool stuff for the next big event. TF.tv's issue is quality control. Back in the early days of tf.tv there were quality casters that actually knew what the fuck was happening and didn't just read the killfeed and that's why their viewership was way higher than vtv's. Now I'm surprised when I see a prem/invite player casting a tf.tv and just assume otherwise. I think plenty of prem/invite players (inactive or otherwise) would be willing to cast and provide some real analysis, but are too lazy to go out and organise it themselves.

On topic though, a nice preset camera angle for mid fights on every map that focuses on the high ground would be awesome. Switching player POV every 5 seconds is annoying and doesn't really convey whats happening on mid.

Linux is the best. It can look really cool if you want it to. Only thing stopping me from using it on my desktop is support from amd.

looks like someone just had their first english lit 101 lecture.

Valve adding the ability to change the round timer in game would make a huge difference. This is a tiny little change that could drastically increase the pace of tf2 and remove a part of the metagame that really sucks i.e. "parking the bus". Currently the round timer is irrelevant, I don't think I've ever seen a stalemate in a competitive game. But once again, this turns into a "but if Valve did this then tf2 would be saved" argument which has been shown to be a moot point.

I didn't realise I could even do 20 pushups so I want video evidence of this too since I was too drunk to remember.

Yeah that's the train i got in the end. I had to get 3 different trains in the end all 5mins apart so I had to run across the station between platforms. I was really worried that I'd break my pc by slamming it down flights of stairs in my suitcase but thankfully I didn't.

Probably not the best idea to stream the whole thing without knowing what's on there since you were hammered most of the time.

I'm stuck here because of sideshow's shitty poopmobile and the only train is £64 which is ridiculous so can anyone give me a lift back to Liverpool? Can pay petrol money etc.

Stuff OP linked is the kinda shit "hardcore" kids with neck tattoos and ear stretchers listen to because its \m/. Blackgaze is pretty cool, but you can't go wrong with classics like Slayer, Bathory, Burzum, Emperor, Mayhem, Ulver etc.

Some of the new hipster black metal is alright too, stuff like deafheaven. Kinda blending together post-rock, bm and shoegaze. e.g.

HUDs don't differ on operating systems. Only the location of install directories. Steam directory will be something like

~/.steam

or

~/.local/share/Steam

I'm more amazed that you're struggling to install a HUD but decided to use linux as your operating system. Which is powerful with the right user but pretty much useless for the technically inept.

Pretty much. This is the only fps around with a comp scene that has some semblance of skill based movement and arena shooter mechanics. Although my interest has been waning recently.

this looks like more a straight up quake 3 clone (which is fine by me). Hopefully it's not a flop like warsow. I'm just glad that people are pushing for arena shooters to come back tbh.
