As per tradition I will bring some Swedish goodies to LAN but this is something else

When I was unemployed I felt pretty bad because I wanted to do something but was too lazy to do it (its a great evil circle). Now I have a job and feel like I have no time over for hobbies or even to properly sleep. Life is good!

TFTV; CHILDHOOD STORIES EDITION

When I was young I would change schools a lot, 6 times though 7 years ? or so. It was my parents decisions and I was too young to understand, bare remember anything. We also ended up moving places three or so times so I didn't really have many long-term friends or hell I'd even say not at all. I got into gaming at a young age and my dad saw it as the "devils tool", heh. It was a pretty conflicting childhood, we had no internet at home until I was 14 so I didn't get much social interaction but I always felt a desire since my parents didn't really cut it and we moved around constantly. TF2 came out and we got a connection at home I ended up meeting people over the years and I thought it was the coolest thing ever that you could play and talk to people at the same time. Things escalate. I would never have imagined being here 6-7 years ago.
Its amazing that my dad still doesn't understand the concept of having online friends, playing any video game competitively or having different hobbies but I never had good communication with him either. I had to teach myself a lot of things and feel stressed about if I was doing them right or wrong. Our relationship is an extremely lost case, but I never cared much for it since as long as I remember I've disliked him. At least I didn't get beaten to death.
Surprisingly I didn't mind it too much. Its just how "family" was to me back then and I made the best out of hit. Its pretty fucked up when you think about it.

I look back on these things and I guess its a life experience and how I ended up finding something I enjoyed and friends and all that but I don't know man, I've had great times with this game and the community and my friends and I don't regret it and I'm happy how it turned out in the end. But its pretty hard to see my younger experiences as something valuable. The grass is always greener on the other side, and there is always someone who has it worse than you.

thanks for the insight setsul

They made medic more powerful? If you're talking about the +5 health regen then I don't think it'll be a deal breaker or an encouragement - even if its an incredibly good addition. Medic is less popular in pugs, mixes and lobbies as you get to do different things from the other classes, such as not deathmatching 24/7 and being defenseless a lot of the time if left unattended. Usually those things are more frequent than the "fun parts" of medic like surviving against all odds or hitting clutch shots for example. That combined with the more chaotic nature of pugs/mixes/lobbies as opposed to scrims usually makes the class -less fun- to play. Personally I would enjoy playing medic in a prem/invite/ mix or scrim, or with some good friends or whatever, but the kind of environment you're describing isn't like that.

In these kind of games but people are usually willing to play medic if they feel that they can rely on the players they play with. Its rough because if you feel like the game is a chore and you're playing medic if you start throwing or doing weird things it impacts the game a lot. I feel that the class is less popular mostly because of these things, its understandable.

Thanks for everything, was great to meet you in person the times we've seen each other at lan. Especially the times you left your social media open

Thanks guys, it means a lot to me that we put on an entertaining and intense show <3 Lan is such a different environment.

edit: apparently I didnt close OBS at Dreamhack before I left and I have no means of looking at the stream, I'd imagine its either a blackscreen (TF2 closed) or attenders playing eachother/Lasse playing vs them. Can anyone fill me in?

edit 2: please dont tell me that mumble is broadcasting too

THANK YOU

Medic surfing is overhyped in casts/fragmovies etc

This article doesn't mention that I'm providing free hugs at LAN for anyone who is interested, donator or not. Especially Sideshow <3

Thank you dima
