the blog post replaces "who knows what else??" with "other community contributed fixes"

#

so really

#

who knows

spare obsidian
left sand
#

who knows what else because theres nothing trollfig

unborn pecan
#

😭 somebody on the other team is named Lizzo's Face Chair

crisp cedar
#

the only reason im going to trust valve to release a followup update is because if they don't i won't be disappointed anyways

crisp cedar
#

they did promise something above average but still average

kind falcon
#

erm. is funny

crisp cedar
#

but if they dont release more...well...i dont play tf2 anyways

spare obsidian
#

what new tf2 players sees before leaving

tacit flare
#

So.. has anyone dug deep into the update to find what Valve hasn't publically added to the changelog yet?

tacit flare
#

Cause it feels like there's more that's happened than it seems

spare obsidian
#

i mean so far

#

func croc can use custom kill icons

radiant merlin
#

cmon valve couldn't you just make a simple blog post?

#

like this one?

unborn pecan
#

I bet you guys right now VNN is creaming his pants over this update

next nymph
spare obsidian
#

i guess he's right now?

unborn pecan
#

I don't listen or watch VNN

#

I just know he is the kind of guy to cream over a tf2 update

spare obsidian

what do you watch mr microwave

#

why are 64 servers blocked?

unborn pecan
#

Car channels

spare obsidian
#

also isn't like the 64 block would be easy bypassable lol

kind falcon
#

maybe

spare obsidian
#

literally there's like a plugin for mvm that allows to have more players in a match

#

lol

next nymph
#

isnt the point of the block to counteract that plugin

kind falcon
#

why would they do that

left sand
#

the engine blocks entindex higher than expected for players

left sand
#

because it causes instability

crisp cedar
#

shut up guys dota just got a 2.47 mb update

spare obsidian
#

ok

kind falcon

Dota players when I tear out their ligaments

fleet kite
#

I got into a hale match

#

jjust now

spare obsidian
#

that's because vscript isn't enable by default on casual servers

fleet kite
#

does that actually crash the server tho

spare obsidian
#

yep

#

try doing a listen server

#

the gamemode works fine

fleet kite
#

lmao valve spaghetti

unborn pecan
#

not valve spaghetti

#

More like Valve Ignorance

fleet kite
#

I mean it shouldnt crash the server kaz

spare obsidian
#

i think its more of a oversigth since they did it to prevent what L4D2 players has to suffer

#

"easy script kiddies on servers"

fleet kite
#

not blaming the gamemode

crisp cedar

low fps for me unfortunately

spare obsidian
#

like, i know this update is not that great

#

but the fact we have it is

#

like a nice thing too since we're not tied to a theme

summer steeple
#

sulfur is an interesting concept which is essentially hybrid steel-type koth, I can't get a real good impression of it rn because people don't know how to play it or where to go

spare obsidian

unlike xmass or halloween

pelican peak just looks pretty

mastercomfig reduced fps on all water maps trollfig

spare obsidian
#

nah mcoms that's not the right question

#

DOES IT HAVE SNAKES?

slender nexus
spare obsidian
#

also @slender nexus @summer steeple @radiant merlin should i make a github issue about suggesting to valve to use the testing steamddb to test updates?

kind falcon
#

what are these pings

spare obsidian
#

epic pings,,,

next nymph
#

this sounds kinda mean but I'm genuinely curious: does valve have a qa team or qa contractors

left sand
#

@spare obsidian they do that

spare obsidian
#

iirc yes

left sand
#

yes they tested the update

#

but staging != production

#

EVER

spare obsidian
#

i feel this update was accidentaly pushed lol but that's my feeling

slender nexus
#

waiting for tomorrow when the news reports someone made a bomb threat at valve because the summer update wasnt 10x the size of the Uber update

next nymph
#

oh no I know, this just seems like a lot of stuff at once though

rare creek
kind falcon
#

erm. its a summer update. not a giga update

the blog is different to the updates tab

*They already took

Anyone excited for the hotfix tomorrow?!

today

summer steeple

could be today even

kind falcon
#

depends on the time zone.

rare creek
#

the fix is hot

wild grove
#

It's 4:31 PM at valve.

#

so maybe today.

left sand
#

the problem is so weird

radiant merlin
#

if valve allows vscript in casual get prepared for cheaters speedhacking

small sirenBOT
#

*if valve allows vscript

in casual get prepared for

cheaters speedhacking*

radiant merlin
#

l4d2's tank run is full of cheaters

#

and tank run is a vscript gamemode

#

that's why community servers run smac or lite

summer steeple
#

that sounds like a tankrun issue

#

cause vscript is all serversided

wild grove
#

I find it funny imagining someone cheating vsh

orchid sorrel
#

people cheat in bootcamp mvm

wild grove
#

like spinning saxton.

kind falcon
wild grove
orchid sorrel
#

my point was that if people are willing to cheat there, they'll cheat in vsh

#

but also no being pve doesnt justify cheating

wild grove
#

Ofc it doesn't, it's just that I won't be super angry if I see one.

left sand
#

i think the bots had it coming to them

orchid sorrel

i'll be honest, its kind of a skill issue

you understand that after the round ends the teams swap right lol

*you understand that

after the round ends the teams

swap right lol*

summer steeple
#

yeah

jagged pawn
#

I was literally just taunting at the top of the hill for half the game and we won, against a team that easily beat us when they were on defense

#

like I have a small sample size but that was not a close match in either direction

summer steeple
#

well thats your experience

jagged pawn
#

oh my GOD hardwood is beautiful

summer steeple

and mine is that i've won on attack

i like the rooftops on last

Pelican Peak

kind falcon
#

erm

#

pelican peak number 1

hoary geyser
#

i haven't played any yet 😎

jagged pawn
#

pelican peak is probably the best ctf map in the game

#

which is why it's the worst map of the update lmfao

#

not a whole lot it could've done to make me like it

cursive peak
#

inb4 someone says those player numbers are all lies and the real count is like 5k.

kind falcon
#

can you make a second ranking where you rank just the looks

#

thank you

jagged pawn
#

hardwood and phoenix would both move up two spots probably

kind falcon
#

wow. i block you

jagged pawn
#

honestly all the maps I've played so far look great

kind falcon
#

do you like the missing textures on phoenix

jagged pawn
#

I did not see any

kind falcon
#

how

jagged pawn
#

I've heard there were missing textures on venice

#

I think?

#

but yeah didn't see anything wrong w phoenix

kind falcon
#

the only map i had missing textures on was phoenix

jagged pawn
#

skill issue

kind falcon
#

erm.

#

venice is bad

jagged pawn
#

haven't played eyt

kind falcon
#

skill issue

#

what am i looking at

summer steeple
#

uhhh, it might use a rope entity

#

which could be hidden by your performance config (if you have one)

#

yeah it does

kind falcon
#

ever heard of it?

summer steeple
#

sorry i don't use cheats trollfig

#

I only use the best perfomrance config, fiendhook

kind falcon
#

anyway the missing textures are midway b to c

summer steeple
#

I don't get them, which is odd

kind falcon
#

erm. show proof?

summer steeple
#

idk why i'm blessed

hoary geyser
#

ok time to try out the new maps at 165hz 😎

kind falcon
#

i need to know that information

kind falcon
summer steeple
#

you can play selbyen at.... 2 fps

#

jk it'll prob be fine

#

i was getting kinda low fps for me at like 70 but i'm on an i7-7700k

kind falcon
#

it had seal

summer steeple
#

I also didn't have the latest comfig with the water changes

small sirenBOT
#

*I also didn't

have the latest comfig with

the water changes*

summer steeple
#

but

#

seal was cute

#

and adorable

#

and perfect

#

so all was good

jagged pawn
#

the only map that dropped frames for me was sulfur but that's because freyja has never optimized a map before

summer steeple
#

lmao

#

i had no problems tbh

kind falcon
#

you picturing the seal

summer steeple
#

yes

kind falcon
#

awsem

#

does seal have any seal sounds

jagged pawn
#

he sounds squishy when he moves

summer steeple
#

from the tf2maps discord

kind falcon
#

that seal is bigger than i remember

#

has it gained weight 😱

hoary geyser
summer steeple
#

but yeah, i just took a second look at sulfur

#

and it runs fine for me

#

vis looks good, has areaportals

#

granted i was in an empty map with no players

#

but i don't remember having fps issues on it the few times i played it

#

it even has expensive water in a few places

#

so thats surprising

#

cause maps don't tend to use them

jagged pawn
#

interesting

summer steeple
#

at the very least i know the little pool in blu spawn has real time reflections

#

idk if the bigger pools do

#

but prob not

#

plus the water is so bubbly and noisy it'd be kinda hard to tell if they did

radiant merlin
#

i remember playing sulfur back in 2016

#

in a now dead server

hoary geyser
#

venice seems cool

left sand
#

its actually good

#

the mercs are kinda scuffed though

#

but gray and saxton are really good

hoary geyser
#

great reflections

left sand
hoary geyser
#

yeah

jagged pawn
#

I like gray

#

saxton accent sounds so forced

@left sand why are we the only ones with the water flickering

*@mcoms why are

we the only ones with the

left sand
#

i think i went too hard on it

hoary geyser
#

coms you are ruining my tf2 venice experience

#

i will now have to switch to vnnconfig

summer steeple
#

so you could try fast_fogvolume 0

glass musk
#

it's not

#

the command doesn't fix it

summer steeple

o

hoary geyser
#

why can you enter the blu spawn on cashworks

how did this get through

radiant merlin
#

valve when the funny compiler is broken in their end

left sand

yeah i think its a valve issue because like

#

cashworks has been fine for literally 14 years

left sand
#

lets fucking go

200k

summer steeple

now valve will have to release the heavy update

man my 190k bots are really putting in the work rn

slender nexus
summer steeple
#

honestly, I am super satisfied with this update

#

good maps, good cosmetics

#

haven't taken a look at unusuals yet

#

warpaints are pretty simple and laid back, nothing super standout, but thats not necessarily a bad thing and i don't blame valve for trying to play it safe

slender nexus
#

kinda disappointed they didn't push at least some of the TC2 fixes

summer steeple
#

yeah, but from all the things i've been hearing, i'm really getting the vibe that valve was spending a lot of time making sure the shit they did add was functioning

#

and the stuff that isn't functioning (VSH) is not really the kind of thing you easily test

#

because it seems to be an issue with casual and the game coordinator itself

#

rather than the gamemode or map

unborn pecan
#

Anyone wanna play tf2? @lean cove @left sand @teal sand @summer steeple ?

summer steeple
#

not rn unfortunately

#

I want to be at least a bit productive today

#

tf2 update threw me off so much

It is 9:23 fiend

also some other things i've heard regarding the behind the scenes of this update

I'll be on in a bit

summer steeple
#

one map refused to compile on valve's end for like 2 weeks due to a weird VRAD bug with intel CPUs

slender nexus
summer steeple
#

I think I also saw someone say they delayed the update at least a few weeks

unborn pecan
#

aren

#

aren't they like AMD fanatics?

summer steeple

idk maybe they were using them for buildbots

slender nexus
#

Yes but iirc they probably haven't upgraded

unborn pecan

I am limited to 248 servers now

The tf2 faceit twitter account is apparently popular

left sand
#

faceit was gonna replace everything

unborn pecan
#

because of the memes

left sand
#

totally

#

remember that whole nonsense

unborn pecan
left sand
#

how it was gonna kill casual, uncletopia, etc

grim parcel
#

i remember being pretty excited for it

kind falcon
#

god I love faceit team fortress two it’s so awesome

left sand
#

i couldnt play it

#

because i played on linux once

grim parcel
#

but ngl using a separate website was annoying

unborn pecan
#

I wasn't excited for it cause it was faceit

left sand
#

so it requires anti cheat now

unborn pecan
#

Wait faceit requires an anti cheat?

#

And it doesn't work on linux?

#

lame

left sand
#

yes if you played on linux in like 2017

grim parcel
#

linux moment

summer steeple
#

yeah they wanted to have a ridiculous valorant level anti-cheat

summer steeple
#

for tf2

left sand
#

for casual

left sand
#

yeah and its valorant level

summer steeple
#

you had to disable hyper-v

left sand
#

kernel hack

unborn pecan
#

I still think valorant level anti-cheat is overkill

#

and people still cheat in that game

summer steeple
#

like people had to disable shit they use for their jobs to play faceit

kind falcon
#

good thing i exploded valorant

unborn pecan
grim parcel
#

u just liked faceit because no bots

left sand

no linux = no bots

and i hadn’t been on uncletopia yet (was that even open back then or just not as big? i forgor)

#

I hate the map made by the cs:go person

#

YEAH BRO

#

SUCKS

unborn pecan
#

Venice

It sucks

#

playing skial is like watching a powerpoint presentation

It literally looks like a cs:go map redone for tf2

summer steeple

appeared on the workshop april 30th, and on tf2maps may 1st

*It literally

looks like a cs:go map

redone for tf*

WHOLY SHIT

I WAS 3 AWAY

kind falcon
summer steeple
#

it was uploaded MAY 1ST

unborn pecan
#

how tf did an a6 map get into the game

summer steeple
#

AS A6

#

FULLY ARTPASSED

#

the last update to the map was may 13th

unborn pecan
#

is that a good or bad thing?

summer steeple
#

that version, is RC3

unborn pecan
#

I don't get why they did an artpass before idk

summer steeple
#

thats a bad thing

unborn pecan
#

making the map good

summer steeple
#

so that means venice got at least 2 weeks of development

unborn pecan
#

That's like gold plating a huge turd

summer steeple
#

plus any amount of development that we didn't see

#

now, its not necessarily that the mappers are bad

#

in fact, they're quite talented

kind falcon
#

i think fiend should create a map for team fortress the second

left sand
#

fiend did

summer steeple
#

i'm working on it

left sand
grim parcel
#

valve needs to just delete every map besides 2fort, upward, and banana bay. the art style would be much more consistent

summer steeple
#

for an example of a map that the same 2 people who did venice did, alongside one other person

unborn pecan
kind falcon
#

now make it both halloween and Christmas themed

summer steeple
#

mutiny

#

which made it to the mapcore finals

#

these people KNOW how to make maps

unborn pecan
#

Mutiny looks like a cs:go map

#

oh it is

#

So like

#

Did these two cs:go mappers make this tf2 map just cause they wanted one of their maps in tf2?

summer steeple
#

here's the thing

left sand
#

making csgo maps is 10000x easier than tf2

summer steeple
#

one of the csgo mappers

#

had worked on tf2 maps before

left sand
#

all you do in csgo map is put 3 walls down and youre done

unborn pecan

#

radiant merlin
#

hopefully the map makers will do some balance changes

unborn pecan
#

Oh yeah the layout is doo doo easy

left sand

b

summer steeple
#

in fact, one of the maps they worked on (artpass tho) is in the game

kind falcon
#

middel

summer steeple
#

precipice event

#

the artpass is done by one of the people who worked on venice

kind falcon
#

Wow. That stinky map

left sand
#

and middle has two asymmetrical flanks with a L-shape hallway

summer steeple
#

ok but you have to admit that precipice looks good

left sand
#

and thats it

summer steeple
#

however

left sand
#

thats the map

unborn pecan
#

mcoms if I make a cs:go map in get it in the game, I will dedicate to the best performance config ever comfig_heart 🙏

left sand
#

all the distance units are done for you, everyone knows the engagement times already

unborn pecan
#

|| comanglia trollfig ||

summer steeple
#

the layout of venice was done by the other mapper, and they have

#

50 hours in tf2

left sand
#

you spend more time in calculator than hammer

#

and then yeah you have to do an insane artpass

unborn pecan
left sand
#

but thats not mapping

unborn pecan
#

50 hours in TF2 and they decided to make a tf2 map?

summer steeple
#

yes

kind falcon
#

Venice has a cool bridge! And you can only jump over it if you are a mobile class!

left sand
unborn pecan
#

Venice looks like a map you see on a trade server

unborn pecan
kind falcon
left sand
#

is venice like

unborn pecan
#

Will CS:GO servers still be up, or will it be an overwatch situation

left sand
#

1:1 to cs

unborn pecan
#

yes

#

It feels like a cs:go map

kind falcon
unborn pecan
#

ike

summer steeple
#

I do want to bring up cause you mentioned it hurricane

unborn pecan
#

.7:1

left sand
#

is there any regard for tf2

unborn pecan
left sand
#

like rocket jumping

summer steeple
#

the reason its bad to artpass a map early is because it makes it harder to make changes

kind falcon
#

it has those doorways that most halloween maps have

unborn pecan
#

yeah

#

I thought you should always use stupid looking dev textures for layout

left sand
#

the ones which prevent you from jumping

unborn pecan
#

then you go for art after the layout is done

kind falcon
#

corridors . i don’t know

left sand
#

and you get caught on the door

kind falcon
unborn pecan
#

door sounds like boar

#

@teal sand where did that message go

teal sand
kind falcon
summer steeple
#

i'm looking at the version of venice that is in the game now

#

and it is... mostly the same

teal sand
#

canals is set in venice and it is a bad map shock

#

canal, venice, art pass...... more like anal, penis, fart ass!!!!

kind falcon
#

venice is a map from overwatch therefore delete

left sand
#

they should add an overwatch map to tf2 1:1 next

unborn pecan
teal sand

a2 trollfig

teal sand

oh wait overwatch to tf2

left sand
#

phoenix is legit route 66

teal sand
#

i dont know ow maps past like 2017

kind falcon
#

mmmmmm.., what is that map im thinking of

teal sand
#

route 66 was fun but also nostalgia

unborn pecan
left sand
#

idk

#

tf2 shading kinda dated

#

but if we had CSM

#

holy moly..

grim parcel
#

i’d like hollywood

summer steeple
#

venice looks good for a tf2 map

kind falcon
#

hole mole?

grim parcel
#

the voicelines would be funny

unborn pecan
summer steeple
#

oh wait i said venice

#

i meant phoenix LMAO

unborn pecan
#

😭

unborn pecan
#

I mean venice is somewhat pretty

summer steeple
#

sorry i'm still malding about venice

unborn pecan
#

but like

summer steeple
#

its not

unborn pecan
#

I SAID SOMEWHAT

#

I like water

radiant merlin
#

let's fucking go

unborn pecan
#

big fan of oiter

teal sand
summer steeple
#

sorry i'm malding so hard about venice

#

but its just

unborn pecan
#

I think the most ugly part of venice is the 3d skybox

teal sand
#

what were they called again

summer steeple
#

I tested it

unborn pecan
#

Like

#

What the fuck is this

summer steeple
#

i gave feedback

teal sand
#

the uprising

kind falcon
summer steeple
#

and i don't think they made any changes

unborn pecan
#

It is so vague

teal sand
#

these things

unborn pecan
#

the 3dskybox

#

It doesn't even matter if it is there

#

Venice is a wet dream for pyroshark

summer steeple
#

this damn bridge has been here since the first release

kind falcon
# unborn pecan

the water and the sky on the norwegian seal map are literally one color

summer steeple
#

i don't know what the FUCK its supposed to me

#

its not a draw bridge

kind falcon
unborn pecan
summer steeple
#

it doesn't appear to be unfinished

#

its just... there

kind falcon
unborn pecan
#

The city contracter ran out of money

#

duh

kind falcon
summer steeple
#

also idk if venice (the real place) is just like this

#

but isn't this area with the bridge just like 1:1 canals

kind falcon
#

they should instead add canals to tf2

#

that would play better

#

promis

unborn pecan
#

GUYS

#

tc_hydro is a better map than venince

summer steeple
#

like i'm sorry, i know mapping is hard, i fucking map

#

but this map feels like it was made in 2 weeks with the express purpose of getting in the game

#

it wasn't made out of passion

#

or to make a map

unborn pecan
#

That's what I'm saying

summer steeple
#

it was made to make a quick buck

unborn pecan
#

honestly

#

Who was teh blockhead at valve that decided to accept this map?

summer steeple
#

also i just find this funny

#

but the creator of venice

#

A. was not the person who uploaded it to tf2maps

#

B. left a review on tf2maps FOR THEIR MAP a day after it was added to the page that just says "incredible"

jagged pawn
#

lmfao

summer steeple
#

they created an account on tf2m a day prior

unborn pecan
#

fiend you gotta create a reddit thread on r/tf2

left sand
#

i think we should have more stalematey maps in tf2

summer steeple
#

i see little to no passion in this map

unborn pecan
#

.....

summer steeple
#

and it is depressing

unborn pecan
#

bad opinion?

summer steeple
#

and quite frankly, frustrating

#

because there are people who put hundreds or thousands of hours into mapping

#

trying over and over, getting feedback

kind falcon
summer steeple
#

all to try and make a map that is good

unborn pecan
#

I bet you the tf2maps.net discord has torn venice a new ass

summer steeple
#

yes

jagged pawn
#

I think tf2 should be less fun to teach the youth about the good old days when we went outside and played stick and hoop

summer steeple
#

but the mods stepped in a bit because we were being a bit too harsh

left sand
#

like lots of art and stuff and design

#

but like it seems like a kind of map a csgoer would make

#

you know

#

where its like

#

layout is 5% of a map

#

95% is art pass

summer steeple
#

i just noticed this chimney

#

oh yeah and this map has chicken wire fences that you can shoot through

small sirenBOT
#

*oh yeah and this map

has chicken wire fences

that you can shoot through*

summer steeple
#

because csgo mappers are used to bullets going through things

#

but tf2 players aren't

unborn pecan
#

CS:GO maps are like

#

90% made out of models

kind falcon
unborn pecan
#

9%entities

#

1%brushesh

kind falcon
#

very fun to spam from there!

radiant merlin
kind falcon
#

also has wire whatever’s

summer steeple
#

well, at least not any that didn't already exist

left sand
kind falcon
#

idk you answered that one sometime before

left sand
#

you know every fortnite, tf2, csgo, dota 2, rainbow 6, teamfight tactics, smite change

kind falcon
#

kill r6

left sand
#

and youve played all the content

#

for all of them

left sand
kind falcon
#

That never happened.

left sand
#

but you should say it

summer steeple
#

there is custom assets

#

not a ton

#

but still

kind falcon
unborn pecan
#

the flags?

summer steeple
#

that and a few more

left sand
summer steeple
#

the water is custom

#

some skybox stuff is

unborn pecan
#

the skybox is ass on venice

kind falcon
unborn pecan
#

they had the chance to make it cool and have like

#

buildings you can actually see far away

#

but it looks like sometihng out of hl2

kind falcon
#

@left sand remake happy farmer in vscript

spare obsidian
#

what was the oldest map to be added here?

summer steeple
#

cashworks

#

2008 map

unborn pecan
kind falcon
#

cash somethingn

#

yes

#

cashworks is fun

#

and looks pretty sometimes

unborn pecan
#

most pretty map in the game is 2fort

kind falcon
#

your house will be bombarded in 4 hours 37 minutes

summer steeple
#

ok so i dug up some old messages

unborn pecan
#

can't wait 🙃

unborn pecan
summer steeple
#

yes

#

please don't stir up shit there

#

i know you're there now

unborn pecan
#

I won't

#

I've been there

summer steeple
#

anyway

#

according to one of the devs, in early april venice was 95% greybox

#

so that means venice was made in a little over a month

#

at most

unborn pecan
#

bruh

#

that's actually insane

#

imagine all of the other mappers malding

#

that an objective piece of shit got in

summer steeple
#

like idk i feel bad

#

for the mappers who made venice

spare obsidian
#

what's wrong about venice

summer steeple
#

it was horrendously rushed

unborn pecan
#

don't feel bad fiend

summer steeple
#

about a month worth of dev

#

little testing

unborn pecan
#

They wanted to create a map for the sake of fame

summer steeple
#

i mean it feels like that

#

but idk

unborn pecan
#

for the glory of getting in tf2

summer steeple
#

at the very least the artist i think cared

unborn pecan
#

true

#

But the actual map sucks

spare obsidian
#

how does it looks like?

kind falcon
#

embrace it

kind falcon
unborn pecan
summer steeple
#

like if they continue to update it and make it good, great

#

like from what i can tell, the reason it was artpassed so soon is because they wanted it to be on the workshop and look good

#

good is subjective

#

but its just

jagged pawn
#

this is an inevitable part of valve announcing a deadline

#

people will force out unfinished content for the sake of a chance

unborn pecan
#

trollfig valve should go back to no communication

summer steeple
#

ok here's the thing

#

valve announced this update feb 9th

#

it seems like early alpha of venice was early april

#

at the point that you're coming on 2 months late

#

with 1 month left

#

why are you trying to make a map to get into this update

#

from scratch

spare obsidian
#

tl;dr of this drama?

kind falcon
#

map looks bad. got into the update

summer steeple
#

the drama is that venice was made in about a month, with little changes, released fully artpassed, and the layout was made by someone with 50 hours in tf2

#

so i do feel bad for the artist

spare obsidian
#

wutville levels?

summer steeple
#

its a bit more playable

#

but its not great

unborn pecan
#

Wutville is more fun than venince

#

Unironically

summer steeple
#

idk

kind falcon
#

it doesn’t have exploits as cool as wutville

jagged pawn
unborn pecan
#

IT'S TURE

summer steeple
#

its clear that the artist is good friends with the person who did the layout

unborn pecan
#

I will stand by wutville

summer steeple
#

they work together a lot

lean cove
kind falcon
summer steeple
#

but like

#

there's a point i think where you just need to stop

#

like say "there's no way we're making a map in a month"

#

and i'll give them that

#

they did make a map in a month

spare obsidian
#

so it was basically the mapper's fault?

summer steeple
#

and it got in

unborn pecan
summer steeple
#

but the fact that it did get in is kind of

#

idk
