Server-specific nerfs on weapons.

I was playing on a perfect, 23 player, low ping server. I then pulled out my Ullapool Caber, and started moving the speed of a heavy while spinning the minigun, and started losing 10 health per second. It doesn't even make sense with the weapon.

Another thing that irritates me is that other player's avatars don't show up when I look at the scoreboard.

Didn't one of those Youtube "famous" players ban spy knives / spies in general on their server at some point?

WHAT YEAR IS IT?! Earbuds aren't oil

Earbuds is the oil. White oil, corrupting the TF2 community and bringing perfectly normal people on their knees - away from the teamwork aspect of Team Fortress 2 into their own selfish needs and Bud'dy grubbing, filthy hands.
I rarely even see people use them. They just sit there in their backpacks gathering dust, waiting for the next buyer to come by. I'm not sure how many there is. I'm not sure how long it will last, but mark my words; The TF2 community will be a better place the day the last pair of Earbuds is either gone or in use.

Imagine if everyone got every item. No more waiting for that one item you've always wanted to drop, and no more having to deal with the ridiculous barter system to get an item worth a ridiculous amount. Maybe then, people could get away from playing TF2 for hats, and can start playing it again, and focusing on the actual game.

Ah who am I kidding, that'd never happen.

I know this is kinda late and off-topic, but I just wanna mention this.

Citizen Insane posted:

I know I'm a hypocrit, and there's not much I can do about that. It's just that, I really don't get why someone would watch this as any other show for adults, I don't get why something like this would have a fanbase. And when I don't get something, I flip out and just start hating it mindlessly.

The reason it has such a large fanbase is because, contrary to popular belief, it wasn't made just for little girls. The creator of the show has said that she made the show with little girls and parents (male or female) in mind. And if someone with a daughter can enjoy a show, then logic dictates that someone without a daughter could also enjoy it.

Edited:
Gastric, why are you disagreeing? The creator of the show has stated this on multiple occasions. Or are you disgreeing that it's late/off-topic?

_{It's sort of ironic since when I was just a kid I liked cool things like Ed, Edd & Eddy, Dexter's Laboratory, etc. and now that I'm 19 there's nothing cooler to me that sit down and watch that show every weekend with my friends.
I'm a huge animation fan and it's nicely animated and the character's are as likeable as they were in the 90's kids shows that I used to watch so it just sort of makes up for my old time nostalgia that I can indeed still get from watching old cartoons, but this is a living, still airing and it's like watching a new show as a kid again. That's why I literally love the show with all of my guts.}

When people mention "My Little Pony" they instinctively think of the old shows which indeed was and still is terrible, but the new show is just so different and it's actually pretty funny.    I think if people gave it an honest chance they might end up liking it.   

I hope that clears something up for you, Citizen Insane. Now I'd love to see the thread completely back on topic, I'd contribute more, but my above post was all that I had on mind today.

[Major Lazer]

I play as Demoman mostly and have noticed a problem ever since two updates ago. I tend to use LnL with Shield/Melee loadout, and charge bash is a huge part of my tactics.

Around 20% of the time I charge straight through my target, which is gamebreaking when fighting against most classes. Its super frustrating when charching a scout to only clip straight through the hitbox, and get shot in the back of the head. The same with soldiers who then fire a couple rockets into the ground and I'm a gonner.

I mostly have a great connection and little to no lag, so you can rule that out.

Another thing I hate is when charging into someone who is in mid-jump it knocks them across the friggin map. This is great/funny for world kills but is an annoyance other times, as I need to follow up the charge with a melee swing.

Rant over-

Meh I guess its not a huge deal since I have 8,000+ kills racked up with the LnL on my server anyways

You see, I do that too. I love to watch shows like Dexter's lab and Johnny Bravo whenever I can. But honestly, I actually tried watching the show, because I figured it can't be that bad if so many people on the internet like it. I couldn't really stand it, I didn't even last a full episode.

I've given it a fair chance.

It's dull and formulaic, Like most modern kids shows.

The animation isn't bad and i can see the appeal but i can't get into it myself. I don't mind stuff like "LOL PINKIE PIE ROKKIT LAWNCHAIR", I don't give two shits what people want to spend their money on.

It does fucking aggravate me when i see 10 fluttershys on a single server though. It's a bit OTT.

Trust me, I dislike seeing people use non original names too. Many of my friends have changed their name from what I know them as to Rainbow Dash, Twilight Sparkle, etc., but I would never be able to do that. It forces me not to get many more friends than the 25 friends I have because I simply cant keep track of 50 Pinkie Pies or Applejacks...
I love meeting new people and making friends, but it gets really hard to keep track of people when they are all either called the same or changes their name all the time...

So I guess it also annoys me to see people use unoriginal names instead of being each individual of their own.

You know what? I don't even go in random pubs anymore, I only play on some regular servers like FPUK. It's almost impossible to attack or defend with a decent team these days, everyone choose a class they want to play. No, you have to choose a class that it's helpful to your team.

[rhx123]

When you're playing lone engineer defending one of the second points on dustbowl, everyone derps off the point to fight in the middle of the map, and either a single demo-medic slips past rushes the point, or a demo spams stickies/nades in a way where he is not in the line of sight and then a single engineer (me) with no sentry is left defending the point all by himself. Happens alot, people don't seem to realise that whilst a sentry is powerful, it has specific counter-classes and engineers can not always deal with them by themselves.

I'm ready for the dumbs.
Soldiers. Yeah, I know right? They move slow, the rockets can be blown back by a Pyro yeah yeah I know. But I still hate them. Why? Random crits everywhere that will instant kill you anywhere near them, randomly coming out of fucking nowhere, like on 2Fort, know the small part covered with metal without a roof? Yeah, random air assaults from there. One good shot will doom any class if in mid-range. I can go on but I already know how much I will be told to "Learn to play!"

As a Soldier with about 200 hours clocked into him, I have to say it is somewhat bullshit with all the crits, but other than that, Soldier has a high learning curve, no, the highest learning curve in Team Fortress 2. You'll have to deal with good Soldiers out there.

I find Spy much harder to play on certain maps. I can just pick up and play the soldier if I really want to.

know what annoys me?
being someone who simply thinks that MLP:FiM is a pretty good show.
I don't watch all the episodes.
I don't write fanfics    or, God forbid, FUCKfics...   
I don't talk about the show 24/7.

I even came up with a great name for my Quick-Fix ("Orbital Friendship Cannon" ("This'll fix you up in ten seconds flat.")).

but I can't use that name, simply because of the demographic I would be grouped into.

   no offense to the casual ponyfriends here, you guys are cool, I'm just talking about the creepy ones. the ones who have Ponysonas and fap to Pony Porn (or "Porny", if you will). the ones who give anyone who doesn't hate the show a bad name.   


on the bright side, I can always name it after my German Teacher.

Shuya needs to meet people like us, the ones that don't act like exactly like his stereotype. The ones that that I see as the "best" bronies. the ones that don't go yelling about it at everyone they meet. We need to get a brony to meet him, become friends with him, and reveal it to him after a while, just to see the reaction. Would he finally see the error of his ways or permanently block the guy for a freaking show that he never mentions.

I have a Objector with pony stuff on it, named a described, but I can't use it anymore because I get flamed wherever I go. It's one thing to hate a group of people for something they like, but to completely segregate them based on their interests? Bullshit.
