main thing that got me to play was i55, otherwise:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=36-rzTA1B00 got me into sniper

^ never got why we haven't done this, star made his own mod with gameplay changes and new weps, don't get why we don't do the same thing

famine
it's mostly more expensive to be vegan
i like the taste
you can't get that amount of protein easily without supplements so staying healthy while working out is just harder
your jaw/ teeth can be badly shaped/deformed if you don't eat it while you're growing as meat is some of the hardest to chew food we can readily get. let alone other defects you can get while growing up
if we were in the wild and a hungry animal saw us he wouldn't think 2 seconds before eating us, sure we're smarter and have self awareness but both parties are going to die anyway and want eachother to die for the most part, either for resources or for less danger

also my subjective opinion but i feel like if most people switched to being vegan we'd have a global skinny crisis as most people wouldn't be educated well enough on how to sustain their current weight from just vegetables and fruit

this did not age well

so canceling a whole lan for one guy being a dumbass is all his fault and not the fault of the organizers that can just say no to him coming and already made a lot of people buy tickets and accommodations that they're suddenly saying no to

dummy thick ngl

Nursey and broking are pedos

prizepools? people having motivation to actually try at the game? people developing ways to practice to get better for the prizes?
we all play the game for fun but at the end of the day we're all going to grow up and eventually leave this game for other games if we don't have more reason to stay. a bunch of pros in OW have said they'd love to continue playing tf2 but they have to get money to live and so they play overwatch.
money makes the world go round', they don't need to actually change balancing but giving us money to use is one of the single best things they can do

Imma edit this post as i obviously didn't read this thread thoroughly enough and just shorten it to this:

report this to the police, why post it on this stupid ass gaming form, banning her isn't gonna do shit, report her to the police

lots of nirvana vibes, gonna be jamming out to this later

that is entirely dependent on your hardware, if you have older hardware you get better frames with older software (dx8) if you have new hardware that's actually modern you're in most cases gonna get a very small fps boost in dx8 and in other cases no boost at all. that's just because of the amount of props/effects not supported. i'm running a ryzen 2400g apu and i only get around 10 more frames on dx8 than 9

@mastercomms
agreed up till the last point, even if they had an easier time to dev this stuff they'd obviously still not do it :/
agreed with everything else tho

After getting a rig that can handle tf2, i decided to start messing around with dx levels, to see what would work best for me. After a bit of experimenting i found something a bit weird, going to 80 from 90 (or any dx9 level for that matter) and then back to 90 gives some different looking results than just launching the game on a stock set direct x level.
(i do not know if you get these same results by having dx level in your launch options).

Upward | badwater but seperate
Badwater | upward but seperate
(using an updated comanglia's config in all examples)

This can give an advantage for people in specific areas as this not only weirdly sharpens the textures but also clears the fog a little bit and makes the game brighter.
Upward usual sniper position this example is of both dx 8 and dx9 with the changes.
It's not as dramatic of a change as some may expect but there is a difference from regular dx 9 (i've had to open my game too many times to bother getting another screenshot so just live with this) It's a more dramatic difference on a dark map like badwater though.

Till now I've not seen a thread about this specific thing so I thought i might as well make one, Enjoy. =)
