Team Fortress 2 Community - A free-to-play dress up game for grownups, gameplay fully automated! Waiting to be mercy killed...

[MeemVoyage]

The proper way to play tf2 these days is to just hide in mvm. That way, at least the bots are supposed to be there and you can kill a whole lot of 'em.

In all seriousness though it is kinda funny watching the modder and server communities freaking out over Valve saying "nuh uh" and Zesty Jesus saying the tranny word from the sidelines. The only mod one needs to have fun is the ability to put fully colored TF2 tick tock tits onto a sign and whack people with it. Turned off VC too and I've never been happier. Oddly enough when it comes to just playing the game itself it's not too difficult for me to avoid the autism, it's offgame that reeks more of encrusted blood and ball sweat.

But I will never forget the horror that was the one time I attempted to play VSH on a community server a while before it became an official game mode. Saw it downloading something with milk in the filenames and saw pony names and dipped. Yes, there were Medic files in the Fluttershy folder when I checked

Currently TF2 is in such a pathetic state that it's mind-boggling how all these TF2 youtubers continue to ignore it and shit out their slop videos. Out of curiosity I reinstalled TF2 and I'm not exaggerating, almost every single server has at least one cheater. Often it's 2-3. It's easier to point out matches without them. I'm talking about humans with cheats, not bots. They're pretty blatant, too. But to the average TF2 mongoloid cheating only means spinbotting as a gibus sniper. Youve got to beg for a votekick for half the match if they even listen to you. A lot of maps are straight up unplayable, because they're targetted by bot networks (such as harvest). But no, lets make a slop video about idk, how empty tf2 maps are spooky before going back to the gatekept troony topia servers. And do these faggots who suddenly came out with another #savetf2 play the game? Waaah, i cannot wear my pixel hat, save tf2!!! Meanwhile the game itself is a big HvH lobby. Someone should recreate "The wiggle that killed tarkov", but in TF2.

It's sad to see what the community has become for over half a decade. It became such a faggot/tranny clown show that it made me stop playing TF2 for a good long time

Idk what server you're on but on au servers as a sniper main as soon as I start getting kills I get voted off.

I'm guessing a lot of you have seen the countless Xitter posts from the TF2 community, all talking about #savetf2. Apparently now the trending topic is drama. The discussions had started taking a turn towards why specifically Valve doesn't communicate openly with the community anymore. This led to a bisexual furfaggot on Xitter named Wolfcl0ck creating two gigantic Xitter threads about all manner of drama surrounding the Source community, and why Valve no longer fucks with the community.

I've tried to archive these Nitter threads but none of the sites I tried (archive.md, archive.vn) seem to work with Nitter, which just constantly returns a 403 error when trying to capture the pages. Here's the first thread he made where he goes over a bunch of shit that happened. Little while later, another user on Xitter called Wolfcl0ck out for himself being the type of elitist content-hoarding snob he whined about in his first thread. So Wolfcl0ck went and made another huge thread to try to save face and exonerate himself.

Faggot deleted his tweets lmao. Thankfully there's Imgur snapshots of the tweets.

The gallery is dead. You should use the forum's media upload functionally. Alternatively link to an actual archive website for content other than tweets, as that no longer works well for threads, such as archive.ph/archive.is or archive.org.

I literally haven't been able to queue for a game without bots for weeks, and I've been getting these 2-3 week stretches of bot infested games for the last 3 years. Tf2 was really special. From 2007-2010 it was a great casual shooter, and from 2011-2015 it was arguably one of the best FPS games on steam (or anywhere, for that matter). It had a good run. I doubt we will ever see Tf2 on S2 (at least not legally/officially) and it's probably for the best.

Personally I choose to enjoy the positive memories I have of Tf2. I don't want to remember the game like it is now; a shambling carcass on life support, propped up by Valve's indifference and the community's (often misguided) goodwill. I still play when I can find active games with real humans, because it's a good way to unwind. But otherwise, I stopped being very emotionally invested in it half a decade ago, and I think you'd all be better off if you did the same. The game died for me in 2018 and that's okay. Ten years is not a bad run.

Agreed. The bots this time around are probably the worst I've ever seen. They vote kick real players so fast people can't deal with them like they used to. I don't even know if the game is bringing in new players at this point if all they're met with are bot servers. I'd be totally apathetic at this point, but what frustrates me is how Valve keeps getting away with adding community maps and content that you can't actually play on. Good luck finding them being played on community servers either.

despite everything Valve doesn't care about ray-see-sm or any other "controversial" topic.

Sweetbaby was involved in some way with Valve, likely HL:Alyx, remember, they changed the VA to a black woman from a mixed race woman who actually even matched Alyx better, considering she is as well.
(Merle Dandridge, original VA) --------------- (Ozioma Akagha, Half Life: Alyx VA)

---------------

The claim being, of course, not for the reasons suspected, but that Ozioma had a younger voice they thought fit the role more. It's nothing huge, but I just find it weird.
I'm of the crowd that Gaben is probably the only one really keeping the gate here and there's a lot of bad elements in the company that are itching to DEI everything like has been done with every other AAA vidya company. Valve has certainly been a lot better but that's been slipping since most obviously 2020. There's only so much they can stem the tide when they're a tech company in Washington.

There were 16 years between Half Life 2 and Half Life Alyx, I'd imagine switching the VA (a role you don't see without going out of your way to) is going to have way more to do with that than trying to get diversity points by switching out a black woman instead of someone who's still going to be seen as a black woman to most.

All the same, 16 years isn't usually massive for a VA unless they were a kid in the initial role or became a diehard smoker. From what I remember, they didn't even consider Merle for Alyx, she was the VA from HL2 through Episode 2, so that means ~13 years between the titles.

It doesn't even have to be strict degradation of voice quality, though. There's just a lot of things that can go on in that period to change whether you're going to hire that same person for a job or not, and I'm not really seeing the ESG angle here. To the majority of people, this is just swapping a black woman for another black woman. You might appeal to the anti race mixing subset of black people and the hoteps, but they're not exactly a high value demographic targeted by marketing agencies. This seems like a case where it being any number of mundane explanations rather than a race thing makes more sense.

 

[Big Fat Frog]

From what I remember, they didn't even consider Merle for Alyx…

From what I remember Merle actually recorded a sizable amount of dialogue for Half-Life: Alyx, which makes the sudden change in actresses even more jarring.

Folks will play a game for over a thousand hours and still ask for a clean, quality time 17 years after it's release. There has always been a baffling sense of entitlement from community heads to keep Tf2 moving forward, into the future, despite the fact that as far as runtime for online multiplayer videogames concerned, Tf2 is quite an outlier.
I don't wanna sound like a downer, because I really love Tf2, and I will always love it for the reasons that have been stated over a thousand times. But if an experience has given you well over hundreds of hours of solid entertainment, what more could you possibly ask from it?

You mean people who play a successful live-service game want it to continue being supported? I can’t believe it…

 

[POWER IN MISERY]

if anyone here hasn't dumped their inventory on the steam market yet they should. some crates are a worth couple bucks for no reason.

Glad to see Wolfcl0ck seething at people getting access to beta stuff while he can't circle-jerk with his discord troons when they horde beta content, FYI he Is the same faggot that tried and failed to cancel Pre Fortress 2 a beta TF2 mod for "ableism".

Entitlement was the wrong phrasing, my bad. That opinion comes down to my belief about how long a game ought to last, If tomorrow someone told me I was no longer able to play tf2, I'd be okay with that. The game has personally given more than I can expect from even the best of titles.

To perhaps no one's surprise 404UNF (@RoonMoonlight) has taken back control of the TF2CutContent twitter account (archive) from the queer child he entrusted it to. (Current KF too profile if he changes it)

Before purging many recent tweets, searching by account mentions shows he made some not very wholesome posts.

He is likely in the midst of meltdown and may begin to engage in another pathetic warpath against the community, or very quickly go DFE. It was stated in wolfcl0ck's twitter call out thread (still not archived) that 404 was in rehab, which was likely a complete lie to somehow avoid accountability.

Ok I'm confused. What the fuck is going on and what does unf404 and this Roon guy have against each other, or whats their history together?
