It sets the audio output API to a bogus device that does nothing
so it still plays audio?
indigo escarp
This code checks if the command line argument "-nosound" is present. If it is, it sets the audio device to a "null" device (meaning no sound will be played), initializes something called "audiosourcecache" using a certain amount of memory, and then exits the code. If "-nosound" is not present, the code continues to run as normal.

I'm also rather fond of their cover of More Gun.
And their cover of the main theme was my phone's ringtone for years.
Whatever happened to the TF2 music creators? It dropped off hard it seems.
strange stream
Do people visit the official tf2 site and go to concept art page?
People are making pot theories on "muh no female mercs BECAUSE"
rancid pewter
its probably because they found 1 (one) very early female model in the leak
strange stream
-2007, not enough memory
-they don't fit into comic lore
-it's 70s, women not allowed
-they don't fit into comic lore but because of women stereotypes and incoherent reaching
Begs to ask which became canon first
The comics or the game
rancid pewter
the thing is that its all bullshit because they probably didn't write even half the comics yet when they were considering it
honest spire
comics are cannon to the team that's followed
rancid pewter
i mean its probably safe to assume that anyone playable in TF2 is part of team fortress
strange stream
I don't see why they couldn't include female mercs in the comics
OR the shorts
OR the films
rancid pewter
yeah there's literally no reason
strange stream
People are horribly reaching
honest spire
but aren't the comics only the red team?
rancid pewter
i mean honestly they seem to kind of randomly decide that the team colors matter
honest spire
I don't see why they couldn't include female mercs in the comics
OR the shorts
O...

honest spire
true
rancid pewter
that got a big comic
rancid pewter
but the actual "after the game" comics?
¯_(ツ)_/¯
like i guarantee that whatever reason valve had for not making female mercs was much more mundane
it probably was something like silhouettes idk
trim tapir
have you ever seen them? how do you know i’m wrong?
im not saying ure wrong
u must be a fortunte teller..
rancid pewter
any and all "women weren't allowed" or "it wasn't common or normalized" arguments also make 0 sense because.... ms pauling???
plus like
in a game where every single merc is crazy and probably horrible people
honest spire
what is it
trim tapir
what is it
honest spire
no
rancid pewter
no the mercs are hired because they're good at their job
they're good at killing people
neat frost
team fortress is a two bit mercenary team of maniacs compared to the other teams and the implications of the gun mettle comic, and highly competent at the same time
rancid pewter
"ah yes let me go to hire mercenaries, I want an insane person, an insane person, a drunken demo man who doesn't know where he is half the time, a sniper who pisses in jars and throws them at people, but i refuse to hire a woman"
hollow pier
it probably was something like silhouettes idk
it was definitely silhouettes and readability I don't see any other reason
neat frost
cosmetics being twice as rigorous to make
neat frost
there is no justifiable or rigorous lore explanation for the playable cast not having women
rancid pewter
a lot has changed in the decades since they were hired, we now do not hire women
neat frost
valve just didn't do it
hollow pier
the reasons to add them become more valid as the years go by they just didn't consider it
rancid pewter
so yeah, i don't think there's any reason outside of some mundane gameplay or development reason that the female mercs weren't made
hollow pier
i don't think there'll be a tf3

dragons fury is legitimately the best pyro primary in the game i am convinced
indigo escarp
its pretty good
languid birch
i have not touched it for so long but now that i am using it i can feel the true power
and it can combo enemy pyros with the extra flame time
neat frost
just needs more polish
ocean solar
Dragons fury is aight
I just hate the airblast penalty
I like fighting against it since it’s projectile is reflectable
languid birch
i think they made it better since launch
neat frost
mechanically it's fine but
it might still be busted on one specific kind of invisible map brush

you can insta kill an enemy pyro p much if you time a reflect and the pyro was in your flames
ocean solar
Yeah it’s awesome
languid birch
so it has fun counter play
at least as pyro
all the other classes just get melted
i love it because i discovered that it can be used to instantly delete any pyro
with the axtinguisher and a jetpack stomp
hollow pier
its probably pyro's best primary if you want to treat him as a power class
languid birch
i would say it works well as a combo primary
hollow pier
i think the fireball should get like a physical model instead of being represented as just animated sprites
neat frost
it should also not make your computer explode for a brief period of time
hollow pier
that's because of the particle effects
spawns like 1000 in your face
dynamic lights are also unnecessary
languid birch
tf2 is inconsistent in a lot of ways
there are a few weapons that do not have strange variants that really should
neat frost
Additionally, the dragon's fury looks like shit because of poor lighting settings
hollow pier
i would like a strange dragons fury
languid birch
yes
rancid pewter
well after 5 (wtf) years the JI weapons are craftable
so... maybe soon?
god i hope so
languid birch
i would love a strange for it
rancid pewter
that dynamic light is also just awful because some props just do not like it
if you fire it on the bridge on suijin the entire bridge becomes really bright
languid birch
feature
rancid pewter
honestly i hate the fact that every single pyro primary nerfs the airblast in some way
like
it is his most powerful tool, and i honestly think maybe it should be nerfed
but considering how different weapons tend to boost different attributes of the weapon slot, i think its stupid that there's no primary that actually changes airblast aside from nerfing either its cost or its cooldown
hollow pier
if you tried buffing it it'd probably become even more obnoxious than it is now
rancid pewter
yeah i was about to say
i'm not sure what i'd do with a flamethrower that changes airblast aside from nerf it
hollow pier
i think it goes to show how reliant the class is on this mechanic
obtuse bane
it basically gives pyro absurd burst damage they normally don't have
rancid pewter
and the thing is i'd be surprised if valve didn't at least mess around with the idea of changing it for a weapon
in fact I know they did because there's code references to an airblast you had to charge
languid birch
i think its in a decent state
rancid pewter
i just find it kinda weird that it is the pyro's most powerful tool and its not even flame related
god i do hate how with the df if you airblast you just don't get to do anything for like 2 seconds
languid birch
they both buffed and nurfed it with the rework, its harder to utilise but its so much more dynamic and you can take advantage of the control you have
yeah df airblast feels very unwieldy
but that trains you not to spam it
trim tapir
but that trains you to treat it like phlog
languid birch
use the airblast only when necessary
rancid pewter
honestly i just don't like any of pyro's primaries except stock and df
languid birch
degreaser is awesome
rancid pewter
i've never felt like I won a fight due to the degreaser
and the backburner is just like
asking for jank
languid birch
then you suck at combo pyro
hollow pier
i just find it kinda weird that it is the pyro's most powerful tool and its not ...
that's what valve gets for wanting to add a flank class with no flanking tools
steady crowBOT
neat frost
remember when ji first came out and you could get backburner crits on demand by looking away from people hit by flames
trim tapir
phlog is just toxic when combod with a medic
languid birch
the main benefit of using the degreaser honestly is the ability to combo enemy pyros
rancid pewter
i just don't think i'm ever in that situation enough to warrant it
i'd rather just spend less ammo on airblast
languid birch
i use it by default
trim tapir
i love my jet pack..
languid birch
the downsides are pretty minimal
rancid pewter
degreaser just feels like such a nothing weapon
languid birch
and the ability to deal with enemy pyros stylishly is awesome
rancid pewter
minimal upside for minimal downside
hollow pier
degreaser is the best flamethrower because it lets you switch to your airblast faster than any other primary
woven sphinx
What it offers is flexibility.
hollow pier
because airblast is all pyro is good for
rancid pewter
if airblast is all he's good for why are you not on your primary 100% of the time
with a flamethrower that lets you do it more
languid birch
exactly
woven sphinx
Like, there's a reason invite Pyros run Degreaser.
hollow pier
it's a reactionary mechanic and his main damage dealer is a secondary
languid birch
pyro is a class with a lot of ways to play him
languid birch
and its not really clear what exactly he was ever intended to be good for...
rancid pewter
yeah he kinda just has no role
except for spy checking and dealing with the aftermath of an enemy pyro
languid birch
for me he is how you get flashy combos or farm with dragon fury
woven sphinx
There's also combo protection.
hollow pier
he was made to be an accessibility option
rancid pewter
like if he was supposed to be a support character then they would probably focus more on airblast with his weapons
languid birch
hes just a character
who does anything you want
i wanna see combo pyro played in comp 6s
woven sphinx
Ma3la sometimes ran a lot of Pyro.
languid birch
i read that as mazla because of the russian з
my brain just could not process any other possible pronunciation for some reason
woven sphinx
Skill issue.
rancid pewter
just for you, i'll play an entire game with my degreaser loadout and try and pay attention to it
languid birch
the only role pyro serves in highlander is to just be the medics body guard and extinguish teammates
where are all the cool detonator jump combos
hollow pier
combo pyro i think isn't even like, a thing
just switching to the right weapon at the right time to kill is considered a combo
hollow pier
where are all the cool detonator jump combos
pyro doesn't have the dps to be a damage class
languid birch
its questionable what could be considered a combo
rancid pewter
just lost a fight because not enough ammor to airblast :/
languid birch
just any kill that utilizes more than one weapon counts as a combo for pyro
hollow pier
god i remember when ji first dropped and pyro was a monster
languid birch
when ji dropped i had only played the game for 1 month
hollow pier
and then instead of doing something about flames being easy to spray they just nerfed pyro's damage again
valve is allergic to making the flamethrower interesting
languid birch
pyros fire hurts medics healing output
im pretty sure medibeams do less healing to burning teammates
woven sphinx
I've had a lot of time with my Degreaser.
rancid pewter
they do
hollow pier
afterburn reduces medigun healing yes but i think its bugged
languid birch
im just glad that every time you get set on fire you dont get the full duration
hollow pier
im just glad that every time you get set on fire you dont get the full duration
one of the few good changes made to pyro in ji
languid birch
i think that all except one of the new items are good
the new maps are a mixed bag
hollow pier
i dont really like the airblast changes, the flame damage mechanics or the flame sprites
languid birch
i like the airblast changes
but i wish airblast didnt make you unable to air strafe
hollow pier
that is my biggest issue along with valve lying about it being a cone and snuffing ubers with no thought
rancid pewter
didn't jane find out that it was source engine cringe
like they did a check that source engine is like "oh its easier if we do a box instead"
languid birch
the source engine knows all
the source engine said it so it must be the way its meant to be
hollow pier
if thats the case just say its a big ass box
languid birch
ur a big ass box
rancid pewter
well i think the problem is that they didn't realize that source is dumb and you have to force it to not do that
languid birch
this is what happens when you give a game engine sentience
rancid pewter
i forget exactly its been a while
hollow pier
i kinda miss pyro's ji damage output
languid birch
how does it work? it spawns some thing
hollow pier
they could get rid of air drag on flames and reduce the box size while reverting all the ramp up changes and it should be better i think
idk just feels nasty that they'd rather keep the flamethrower as a spray weapon with mid damage
languid birch
i dont mind
hollow pier
to each their own

hollow pier
i dont a huge issue with aim assist on stick controllers
but on kb+m it feels unnecessary
real dock
Aim assist has no reason to exist on keyboard + mouse setups.
To compete with controller aim assist, which TF2 should have.
languid birch
it would probably mess you up even more
rancid pewter
i can't stand it i'm playing my degreaser/det loadout on thunder mountain i have to use my jetpack loadout
woven sphinx
Aim assist is just authorized aimbot.
woven sphinx
Sure it is.
hollow pier
kind of the other way around, aim assist is made to compete with kbm
real dock
A little nudge.
neat frost
I love how busted the jetpack's model is
woven sphinx
Yeah, fuck that. We wanna see your ability, not some shitty assist.
hollow pier
this is a pc shooter game and the mouse is a pretty precise tool
languid birch
honestly tho nobody needs aim assist on m+kb. since a mouse is a good aiming tool you dont need to program in crutches so players can actually hit shots
languid birch
true aim assist is using a mouse instead of a controller

I'm in a team full of useless engies

i feel like that's less of how terminally unskilled tf2 players are and more like a person who plays video games having expectations for the game and then not realizing this is tf2
like i dont think shooting through windows is the dumbest thing to do if youve never played before
languid birch
tf2 is a very different shooter
hollow pier
i suppose
sometimes its like opening the fridge like 3 times and expecting new food to spawn in

hollow pier
i have to admit i dont top score on UT very often

I did not feel like using the degreaser ever mattered in any way shape or form
hollow pier
degreaser, at least in comp scenarios, is all about getting access to airblast as fast as possible
in casual its mostly flexing, but its still the best flamethrower
woven sphinx
Stock swap speed is an eternity. You can get to your flares sooner.
rancid pewter
swapping to stock is fast enough
steady crowBOT
rancid pewter
i'm just never in a position where i need that swap speed
woven sphinx
I've adjusted to it to the point I didn't have items once and swapped to my secondary and hit fire on it before the swap completed because of the extended swap time.

strange huntsman is 70% of what my inventory is worth
of course I will defend this epic weapon

i would rather play against huntsman snipers than regular sniper rifle snipers

Sniper just needs a lower ammo reserve
Something low enough that he’ll consistently run out and have to reposition
Maybe like 8
That way he can’t just hold one spot forever
And has to hit his shots consistently
Maybe even 5 like csgo
Doesn’t fundamentally change how he plays just makes him less campy

Bad project
hollow pier
i still think maps are too much of a case by case thing to be used for class balance
ocean solar
Yeah that’s why the ammo reserve nerf would be the best possible option imo
Doesn’t remove one shot headshots on light classes just makes them harder to achieve due to having 5 or 8 ammo in reserve

designing classes around dogwater maps is such a fucking funny idea
because it punishes classes and playstyles for playing in actual good maps
and discourages map makers from making their maps good
example: valve nerfs demoman because of dustbowl, then map makers might make their maps based of dustbowl game design because that's what demo was balanced around
carmine lintel
solution: delete demoman

At some point the steam beta had a bug where it would have the web browser running even when the small games list was enabled
carmine lintel
No, i mean it would have a webpage in the background even when small mode was on
it was a bug

fr tho as much as i see a lot of low poly games and other media none of them use vertex animation which is a shame because some of the best looking games from that PS1/N64 era was the crash bandicoot and spyro games, both oh which used it extensively

I kniw exactly what you mean and it's great
It's slap-stick animation but in 3d
League characters do this in-game as well but it's hard to spot it

fun tf2 fact
so this is more gun right
the song we know and love
well did you know it had two different iterations before this final version
with the engineer update the game launched with this version of more gun
steady crowBOT
midnight verge
noticeably it's missing crickets and the accordion
and then they updated it
it got a train sound intro and had an harmonica accompany the first half before the electrical guitar
then they patched it again to iteration 3 which is the version we have today and the version that is included in the soundtrack now with the crickets and accordion
all 3 versions seem identical when it comes to the electrical guitar part though
lavish girder
I was wondering what the 3 versions differences were but I never bothered to find out, now I know!
btw I wouldn't recommend ripping gamestartup files, they are extremely low quality
midnight verge
ya ik
it was just easier for me to pull up the game files
cuz i already had them extracted
after all i AM turning things into low quality
for the game
also love this alternate rocket jump waltz they did for a viaduct video
always always always hated how rocket jump waltz is just like 30 seconds long

Uhh... I just woke up and I kinda dreamed up a tf2 map segment that could be interesting.
First point of a payload map or medieval mode perhaps
strange stream
This is what came to me in a dream.
I did this in 25 minutes.
@autumn furnace you can look at it ig, but I feel like umumenium is the resident tf2 mapper of the server
this blu spawn is protected by a fence which I represented by a black frame like this.
I put a blue cylinder to represent a where a payload cart could be at the start of the map.
it would go through the center at low ground.
into the valley inbetween the buildings.
I would say this is a win for me because the hardest part of making a map is coming up with an idea.
and this is just a small portion of what could work
and it reminds me of thundermountain
except the bad parts of it
This is not necessarily to size, this payload is essentially a whole train
or a battering ram if you prefer medieval mode.
in my dream I imagined red base as some sort of castle.
if I were to develop this idea of a castle, the payload would do a circle around it and then go in the center at the final point
and I feel like blu would have the same spawn point through out of it
just imagine this tall castle wall that you just go around

I seem to be constantly toggling between projects because I am making up my own "the next big thing" instead of chasing after someone else's the next big thing.
I am not sure if I should commit to this idea because I don't find anyone in particular who would be interested.
and frankly I don't want to risk a lot of time investment into doing something completely by myself.
I can give it another hour in blender to make the map look at least 70% complete.
now I wonder if it should be single stage or multiple stage.
I know it's a weird mindset to have, "if noone else cares then I don't care either".
but I only have it for specific things.
it's just a tf2 map.
