At least contracts can be done in any order now...
 
sigh

More community hats, maps, and taunts. It really has been the same update 8 years in a row.
 
At least we didn't get any warpaints this time. Shame we got a truckload of abysmal dogshit maps, cosmetics, and unusual effects.

Total workslopper death.
 
Taken from Zesty E-celeb stream. That chat message looks familiar :thinking:

They were once men said:
Calling it now all of these tf2 sourcemods that are coming to steam will be dead within a year aside from maybe tf2c or whatever name they call it now. the player count of tf2 is simply not that large to begin with and the people who are interested in mods are probably even smaller part of the playerbase.

The people who are interested in mods were the same people who kept alternative modes alive in community servers, and we’ve all seen how those are faring nowadays. The community that would’ve given these a good life 13-14 years ago is long gone.
 
late, but this update sucked!

beyond the matchmaker breaking, the new maps were abhorrently unoptimized dogshit (the fucking train in doublecross), but at least there's no "easter eggs" to be found?

(e: no, the demolition tranny rights thing was kept in)

barring maybe a few cosmetics (the medic's eggman hat and suit are good/okay as an example), the new cosmetics were basically a sequel to 2021's halloween, and offshore stuff means this was rushed as well, off to get abhorrently disappointed with christmas/mvm!

I am not surprised. I’m living under a rock because I haven’t booted TF2 in a while, so where is it?

i've had brought it in the emporium thread, so i'll bring it here as well, demolition is a map made by a bunch of trannies and like the good faggots they are they've succesfully hidden yet another message in this game
(left is without r_drawclipbrushes 2, right is)

and yet another quirky creator cameo that will serve as a red flag from now on

I wouldn't be so sure. A while ago there's was a Dota 2 mod called Autochess and at one point Autochess had more players than the actual game because people who never played Dota 2 were downloading the game just to play Autochess. I'm looking forward to see that kind of genius arise from the release of the SDK.
 
TF2 will also never die fully, but the catch 22 is the playerbase will get more demented as time goes on as more of the chuds/normal people age out and focus more on life instead of video games.

Doom(1993), source games, rust, minecraft, etc. are all filled to brim with rejects, trannies, and freaks because they're less demanding on your PC, cheap as hell, provide some sort of social interaction, and have mod support so you can play them forever technically.

This is great if you're a super autist and can't control yourself from screaming at customers at your job and getting fired within the month. 50% of the people you play with who are under 30 years old are likely so dysfunctional, they can't go outside and work a basic 15$/HR retail job to save up money for their hobbies.

Just look at that 29 year old nigger who shot up that ICE facility using a bolt action rifle and only managed to kill illegals, then shot himself.

EDIT: I also realized the core issue as to why shit like SaveTF2 failed and the community book full of signatures failed.

Valve only cares about the game so the Economy doesn't crash and cause a ripple effect to CS2 and Dota 2, Everyone knows this.

The community is also filled with fucking pathetic hardcore NEET gooners who don't want to sacrifice anything. They could run their own servers but that would require them to have a stable stream of income to pay for them which would mean:

1.They'd have to take a shower

2.Dress nice

3.contain their autism for 4-8 hours a day

The "matchmaking consumes community servers" is an old retarded excuse as to why they can't make shit happen. They're just poor lazy losers. We ran a community server back in 2013 while working part time jobs back in the day. One server I play on is a 64+ player server that costs 90+ dollars a month to run. divide the costs among regulars and make it fucking happen.

Get a Job, Nigger.

At the very least new Australiums would be something Valve actually made that you can use on old maps. People just want to see something get added to the game thats not troonslop.

You don't have a right to complain or expect shit to change if you keep throwing money at them for doing nothing
