it's pretty funny that this is written with such a definitive tone because there's a lot here that is just not true (and a lot that is preference, but that you are definitely in the minority on)

halo switches are not very highly regarded either unfortunately, they're most widely known for their stems being harvested to make holy pandas, a popular tactile frankenswitch

and yeah you're probably not gonna find the 'true' boutique expensive switches in a prebuilt no matter where you look

chris paul is great, but I definitely think some credit also needs to go to:

-monty williams for really stepping up as a coach from all his previous efforts
-mikal bridges and jae crowder for their defense
-how ridiculously healthy their team has been compared to almost every other team in the year

putting aside the question of how good clearcut and bagel are, I disagree with how those entered the pool as well, with the former being shoehorned in when it was so poorly optimized and the latter being put into invite only

product is the best map in the game

anyone who puts bagel or clearcut over it has not played demo

now that the thread has been made, I can move on to substance.

allow me to quote myself from a thread a few weeks ago:

https://www.teamfortress.tv/59107/rgl-s5-post-season-survey#6

it's a giant leap to go from "should villa be replaced" to "ok everyone wants a new, barely tested map instead", and it's another example of how rgl is a fake community league masquerading as a real one.

put any of those maps against adding bagel like jetz said, or granary for that matter, and see which one the community votes in, I think we all know how that would go.

so I'm trying to make a team for next season and I kept hearing next season was may 17th, which I assumed was the registration deadline because that's how these things usually work. but apparently just 2 days ago it was posted as an rgl news piece (but not on here?) that the reg closes on the 11th, and on the 6th for invite teams:
https://rgl.gg/?r=40&a=1542

there's also some other important info in there (clearcut removed for non-invite divs, villa potentially being replaced with a map from the new map cup, invite qualifiers may 10th to 14th, etc.), and putting aside any actual opinion on these changes, shouldn't this stuff be more common knowledge?

I feel like not having a tftv post addressing the deadlines + the changes when stuff closes within a week for a lot of people is just unacceptable...

consider this post both a heads-up if people didn't see this information already, and constructive criticism to rgl admins to get their ducks in a row

I didn't even mention nursey, I was responding to alfa's point about all the people acting like broking was 'just kidding' or 'just being broking' and not taking it seriously at all (which I remember too)

I think a lot of people here have strong biases about the types of 'deviant' lifestyles that pedophiles have, and have trouble conceptualizing that someone who seems more 'normal' can still be just as likely to prey on children

at the end of the day, it's not a competition, obviously both of them should be banned for life. it just makes me uncomfortable when I see people here basically implying that nursey is a pedo BECAUSE she's trans (and don't pretend no one does that, although to be fair I do remember it being a lot worse in the original drama thread)

I'm glad you take pedophilia seriously

ok replace that with 'socially awkward' or whatever works better for you, my point still stands

honestly all you losers piling on a 16 year old kid who's pretty obviously on the spectrum in order to gain tftv clout are just as cringe as he is

like the fact that people think that there is any value in posting the 12th 'LOL JUST LISTEN TO MASTERFIEND DUMBASS' comment in the row is pretty sad

let's be 100% honest, if broking were obviously trans or a weeb or a furry people would be talking about the shit he did a lot more

the fact that he skates by so easily shows that people in this community still have massive preconceived ideas about what a pedophile looks like

why would you copy poor Rio's name like that

I must hoard mine

I thought about it and you might be interested in trying the Bakeneko on cannonkeys, it goes live later today:
https://cannonkeys.com/blogs/updates/the-cannonkeys-bakeneko60

it's an in-stock 60% with o-ring gasket mounting for $130, and it's made of aluminum

the downside is that it's cast aluminum rather than cnc machined, and it's painted rather than anodized. so if you're after the most premium aesthetics/machining you should probably look elsewhere. but I'm pretty confident that if you want

a) 60% layout
b) great sound and feel
AND
c) an all-metal case

that it would be really hard to beat this board below $200
