It's 2022 and TF2 still slaps.
>>20754it does but it's hegemonic design has doomed it to die in a ditch
we just happen to be on that ditch
>>20789random crits are literally the most hegemonic videogame mechanic to ever exist.
getting a free critical hit the most dps you make.
>>20754Realistically how long until we get TF3 lads?
I want to see STAR_ and Jerma playing it again
I miss the days of 2014
If Pass Time was made by Bad Robot why are there no lens flares???
checkmate gommies
>>20894link? i can't keep up with all these open source variants of tf2
is it easy to find games with players innit?
>>20994>no idea what the logic is there.Blizzard is still kicking themselves over letting DOTA escape their clutches.
I imagine Bethesda's attempt to monetize mods a few years ago also has an influence. From the major studio perspective, letting the little people use THEIR GAME to make and enjoy content FOR FREE without being able to profit from it is tantamount to being robbed.
>>21605My guess
TF2 is still popular on youtube + good meta-gaming with the title and thumbnail = viral video
SFM TF2 stuff still does gang-busters. I think Elmaxo and others like Dane are the exceptions when it comes to "essay" type videos though.
As an aside, some loser made a video accusing Fatmagic of cheating and after watching both videos they made I wanted to curse them for wasting my time with such pointless shit.
>>21685Who is this? Why should I care?
Seriously, all of you need to cool it with the e-celebs and their drama. There are few things more trivial.
>>21704Pyrocynical picking the funny booty pyro mod that like 5 others tf2 youtubers already showcased (and nobody mocked them for it)
he's also doing "funny" crossdressing because stealing OnlyAfro gimmick is easy.
>>22519This is what skill-based matchmaking took from us
Violently advocate for a return to community dedicated servers
>>22526>>20774im confused by both of your posts
hegemonic means like a supreme power that controls everything
like us is a hegemonic state, TF2 controls what?
>>22533agreed my fav tf2 moent is discovering x10 mario servers from quickplay
is it really not possible for their pic related stuff to happen in the new m*tchmaking mode?
i thought i was being an old coot, but nah i was right, esports and capitalist virutes to turn everything, even an ironically lootbox based game into an e-sports style matchmaking game was horrid
all the twitchoids and e-celebs pushed it so hard for their e-bucks
>>22527stay away from seductress
come to me instead 👉€😣👈
>>22537>is it really not possible for their pic related stuff to happen in the new m*tchmaking mode?literally yes,
i had that same experience. you make friends by running into the same people in the same shared space repeatedly over a period of time, learning whose sense of humor is similar to your own and sho on. this is just not possible when the experience of hanging out in a voluntarily chosen shared space is replaced with getting automatically matched with randoms who you never see again in order to force a ~50% win rate designed to maximize daily engagement and loot box spending
Also,
>>22539Yeah the comp scene uses lobbies to play together. Nobody who is "into" TF2 uses matchmaking regularly. There's no excuse.
>>22567community server search engine is absolute ass and extremely tiny
it's very buggy, quickplay was goated
>>22563>you make friends by running into the same people in the same shared space repeatedly over a period of time, learning whose sense of humor is similar to your own and sho onIm gonna dominate my local 24/7 2 fort server community server in hopes of getting a gf 😎
Imagine playing TF2 on max settings and getting comp tf2 mode fps…
I love TF2 so much, it's unreal, It's still as beautiful as the first day I saw it
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=99i8a9PAQ5II think the CPU>GPU still rings true based on these benchmarks
>100 fps on TF2 stock with a GT 710TEAM FORTRESS IS THE PEOPLE'S GAME!
i know he was using a i7https://www.teamfortress.com/post.php?id=143572WE ALSO GOT 2 UPDATES IN THE SAME DAY!!!#TF2SWEEP ✨💅🌟😭🦚🌈🌈🥂😍😎🤩🤯
>>22760Maybe explainer vids of "e-history" like IH and Justin Whang are just good evergreen content
Putting aside that Bing Soy isn't "e-history", anyway
>>22801Yeah, I'm still surprised at how little it matters lol
I'd say it's good for TF2's popularity as GPU prices soar, but CPUs the main component of PCs keep getting more powerful
We stay goated and accessible still more than any other game in the Top 10
>>22809I actually still haven't watched it lol, I consider stuff like this on youtube be basically documentaries or retrospectives
It's good binge content
ALSO SCREAM FORTRESS IS COMING!!
>>22929😳
i'm a tf2 kulak bros.

>>23194I keep getting offers for my spelled items to cash out
Is the way to do it still, keys - paypal, 1.50$??

>>23218wow, i fucking hate paypal
>>23220it's just 22gs anon-chan, please consider
COD is like 100gigs
you're getting a good deal!
>>23311even lenin would get simped in for some crates, dn worry comrade
raffle the lossesBruh
OW has it's own page just for pornography
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overwatch_and_pornographyDo we have a separate TF2 page for our mischief? what could get one
>>23286nicest tf2 trader
>>23338no, they have a few more hats that's it
play community servers if you want, it's fast and no bots
>>23298Try and pawn off most of your shitty stocks to some petty bourgeois type. Lie ruthlessly about his chances and keep some of the shit stock for yourself so that when you inveitably lose you lose with him. Dont tell him theyre your stocks, theyre a "friends".
After selling off your shit stocks go and invest in weapons firms and water speculation firms that own most of the American hemisphere's water supply in their pockets. The Amazon's water supply is a fucking goldmine I'm serious. Block the retard you swindled and gaslight any lose ends as best as you can.
After that see if you can move whatever assets you have into recession proof (historically) goods like art or whatever, lost 7k yesterday because of some shitty real estate bubble fucking up with my moves
>>23353>invest in water speculation firmsRisky move, in the long run all water supply will be nationalized.
Once water becomes scarce enough, it becomes a tool for deciding over life and death, and then governments will take control of it. They won't let you have that power, you'll have a stock certificate, and they have men with guns.
>>23354>>23358fucking insane, water really is being traded like gold
sad
so if i invest in stocks it should be food producing companies or import/export companies? thanks
>>23424Don't farmers still need potash from Russia and Belarus to make fertilizer? Canada alone doesn't have enough potash production for the whole world and I'm familiar with how the Canadians absolutely fucked over their own potash sector through privatization so I don't expect much long term planning or reserve capacity from them. As long as the companies comply with Western sanctions against Russia and Belarus there's a severe hard cap on how much food production can expand since farmers can't produce as much with fertilizer prices going up and the WEF fucking around with "organic" fertilizers to cripple food production. I mean all glory to based Lukashenko and our anti imperialist allies for inflicting pain on the West, but idk on a personal level how the business model of investing into Western food companies makes sense with farmers handicapped in so many ways.
I agree on investing in weapon companies for american imperialism gainsmaxxing and cryptocurrency for tax evasion; I already knew that. Tbh I'm going to hold onto my Chinese stocks anyways because I think they'll recover since the communists really need FDI inflows especially with zero covid hindering their economy. Outside of a Taiwan war which I don't view as particularly likely I should be gucci long term.
every day i wake up and there's a new update
what the fuck is there updating to do
this is really spaghetti code
>>23555you said it right wanker, it's sad they're all getting old and those hippies just don't want to do anything with tf2 anymore
>>26812man fuck the deadringer, also im glad spy is hard to play cuz good spys are fucking annoying to play against.
t.engi main
>>35016>vote with le wallet and becoming a screeching karenbeing a communist makes me unable to take the last part seriously lol
>>35045are you an oldfag from tf2g when it was actually a community?
>>35016This video is making me go insane. All this pomp and then the shoe drops:
CONSISTENT 30.000 ACTIVE PLAYERSI play games that barely get over 100 consistently, and they're doing fine. Then there is bitch ass unable to just hop into private servers.
Love the oooh we gotta do some complicated math shit, and then he just takes some divisions. That he can't read the multi-year trend is actually declining slightly (as would be expected), and not "stagnant", is the cherry on top.
This video is pure chan brain rot: using the most basic building blocks and pretending you're an expert for applying them. Somehow it's endearing this is still so popular.
>>35046>>35061These.
>>35068The famous online video game, chess
>>35087Franchises, not a single game
>>35111>The famous online video game, chessChess is a multiplayer game though.
>Franchises, not a single gameTeam Fortress is a franchise. Team Fortress Forever still gets players to this day.
>>35112>sorry but the idea that games or media in general have an expiration date is moronicIt's not moronic because proprietary online games and games with DRM become unplayable if the server software isn't released and if DRM isn't removed. You can make private servers in TF2 so even if Steam DRM stops working there is a potential that private servers will still be working on cracked versions of the game. BUT some online features such as trading and achievements will not work anymore if the game gets delisted (even "dead" online games don't get delisted so that's unlikely).
