Rocket Jumper + Gunboats + pain train = Stupid fun. I dont even neen the Gunboats but I just rub that in 2 Fort Sniper's faces

Yeah, it's good fun until an engineer wisens up and sets up a sentry to stop you. Then you go back and blow it up as a demo. Wash, rinse, repeat. ;)

Better yet, how about being on a team that's so incompetent they allow the enemy team to get up two wrangled sentries on both sides with snipers guarding each one.

Whats the point of that? Rocket Jumper = no rocket damage therefore no need to reduce self rocket damage with gunboats, might as well use the shotgun so you at least have backup if you have a smart enemy.

"[unlock Problem!]: You cannot use both the Holy Mackerel and the Bonk Atomic Punch together due to stability issues!"

Same message with crit cola. Strange, it was fine last time i used the set.

Is that from Steam/Valve, or from the server? Didn't the last patch log said they fixed a scout exploit that crashed servers? If so (I may be wrong) but what you are seeing is most likely a server mod blocking that combination because the owners haven't realize it's been fixed.

I doubt its a message from Valve though, they would fix it and not block it all together.

Because its stupid fun telling them I have gunboats and the rocket jumper together killing them with the pain train (more damage from bullets) or frying pan.

Despite the fun gained by killing inferior opponents, I simply do not have enough fun doing so to stand playing on 2fort or any other 24/7 server. Honestly though, you have fun killing people unable to kill a soldier using a melee weapon and taking more damage from (most) ranged weapons? 2fort on its own is bad enough to cancel out the amount of fun I would have in doing so....

I have 2 spare Degreasers and 2 series 1 crates if anyone wants to trade a polycount weapon for each (already have GRU, Shortstop, Mackerel, Mad Milk, Degreaser, and the Vita-saw, looking for soldier/pyro unlocks mostly).

I also got 2 nametags, any good names for the scattergun/shortstop or the rocket launcher?

I play on other maps trying to win and sometimes play around on others like 2 Fort. But more importantly, dude its just a game.

I know, but I prefer my prey to at least put up somewhat of a fight, that way when I beat them it feels like I did a good job, not just "Hmmm, another one bites the dust"....it just wouldn't have the same feeling, preying on helpless 24/7 2fort snipers for free kills...

There is no vintage vita-saw, the vintage items were items found BEFORE the polycount pack, the vita-saw was added with the polycount pack.

Ah. I thought it was released prior.

I have a vintage jarate I can give for it, but not much else. :/

I don't see why the "vintage" weapons are desired, unless you're a super new player.

Hats I can understand, but the "vintage" weapons have been handed out since the first class update.

I don't see why buttons or stamps are desired by so many, but they are.

In short, collectors. Vintage weapons use different colored text for the name, and they have Vintage added to the front. Anyone who wants to collect Vintage weapons are therefore going to pay more for them then they are worth. Same reason I will not pay more than a polycount weapon is worth when trying to get one....I am not a collector, I am not willing to overpay just because someone else thinks its worth more.

Today, Valve said that community content creators Rob Laro, Shawn Spetch, Steven Skidmore, Spencer Kern and Shaylyn Hamm took home initial royalty payments ranging from $39,000 to $47,000 each from the first round of Team Fortress 2 content creation. And these are just the checks from the first few weeks of operation.

    • Good. I hope more people sue them for focusing on this worthless junk.
    • How about fire the guy who approved all the bad decisions? The guy who bought these studios in the first place? Oh wait, Satya is safe with his billions while the workers pay the price.
    • This had nothing to do with games. This is all about management wanting to squeeze as much money from Xbox to keep Microsoft's AI ambitions afloat. Someone has to make money to burn on AI.
    • GeekBook X16 Pro Intel Core Ultra 9 thin and light laptop gets a 17% discount by Steven Parker GEEKOM is back with a 17% discount on its top-of-the-range X16 Pro laptop. You may remember that we reviewed the X14 Pro back in February, which marked GEEKOM's debut into the ultrathin laptop segment. You can view the full specs below. GEEKOM X16 Pro Model NX14CM Dimensions 322.58 × 213.36 × 5.8 mm (12.7"L x 8.4"W x 0.23"T) Weight 997 g / 2.2 lbs Material Unibody Magnesium Alloy CPU Intel Ultra 5 125H (14C/18T, 24MB L3, 2.3-5.1 GHz, TDP 20W) Intel Ultra 9 185H (16C/22T, 24MB L3, 2.3-4.5 GHz, TDP 35W) Graphics Intel Arc graphics 8 Xe-cores @ 2350MHz 1024 shading units/stream processors (128 CUs), 8 Raytracing Cores, 64 texture mapping units, and 32 ROPs NPU Intel AI Boost, 11 TOPS / Up to 33 TOPS (CPU+NPU+GPU) Memory 32GB Dual-channel LPDDR5x 7467 MT/s Micron SODIMM Storage 1 x M.2 2280 PCIe Gen 4x4, Wodposit 1TB, 2 TB Display 16.0" IPS LCD, 2560 × 1600 (16:10) 100% sRGB, 120Hz Refresh Rate Camera 2MP 1080P 1 × Light sensor in camera module 1 × LED indicator in the camera module Windows Hello Support: No Mic 2 x Digital Mics integrated in the camera module Speakers 2 x 3813 (4Ω×2W) built in body Audio Codec: ALC269QN-VC3-GR Certificate: DTS: X Ultra Operating System Windows 11 Pro 25H2 Bluetooth Bluetooth 5.4 Wireless LAN MediaTek MT7922 M.2 Wi-Fi 6E LAN card Left I/O ports 1 x HDMI 2.0 2 x USB4 (40 Gbps) Right I/O ports 1 x USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A (5 Gbps) 1 x 3.5 mm Audio jack 1 x Camera Privacy Shutter Keyboard 78Key 1.2±0.2mm / Height 3.5±0.2mm (with backlight) White LED light in Caps Lock and Fn key Language: Default US Touch Pad Dimension: 120 x 71mm Material: Mylar Position: Middle Interface: I2C, Dualpoint button Dock Input port: 1 x Type-C 2 x USB 3.0, 1 x RJ45 1 x PD 1 x HDMI (Bio) Security Fingerprint sensor (in the power button) SD Card slot No Kensington Lock No Battery 77Wh (Input 20V, 3.25A) Power 65W PD GaN Fast Charge, USB-C to USB-C Warranty 2 years (Early Bird 1+1 Years) Deal price $1119.67 The X16 Pro is powered by the Intel Ultra 9 185H, which was released in Q4 2023 and is a 14th Gen Meteor Lake CPU designed for laptop/mobile using the Intel 4 architecture based on a 7nm process. The Ultra 9 185H features 16 cores and 22 threads running at up to 5.1 GHz. It also includes a dedicated NPU utilizing Intel AI Boost at 11 TOPS. On the graphics front, the 185H includes the still fairly capable ARC Graphics (not to be confused with the newer ARC 140T) integrated GPU with a max GPU frequency of 2350 MHz across 8 Xe-cores. It has been said that the iGPU is equivalent to the NVIDIA GeForce 3050 and GTX 1650 in gaming and synthetic benchmarks. Other highlights include an AMOLED display, LPDDR5x memory at 7467 MT/s, WiFi 6E, Bluetooth 5.4, and a fingerprint sensor built into the power button. AI PC? Although the Intel Core Ultra 9 185H includes a dedicated NPU, it's only 11 TOPS; therefore, it does not qualify as a Copilot+ PC. However, it can reach up to 33 TOPS with a combination of NPU, CPU, and GPU. As I said, although we only reviewed the X14 Pro, the unboxing is the same for the X16 Pro, which I noted in my review. The packaging is quite a nice experience. The outer box houses the X16 Pro box with a small compartment that contains the 5-in-1 Dock ($40 value), which appears to be an "Early Bird" inclusion. Upon removing the box cover, the X16 Pro is revealed sitting in a cardboard compartment with two small booklets of documentation. To the left of the X16 Pro are two cardboard compartments containing the 65W charger and Type-C USB cable. What’s In The Box 1 x GEEKOM X16 Pro Ultra-thin Laptop 1 x Type-C to Type-C cable 1.8M 1 x 65W GaN PD Fast Charger 1 x Warranty Card 1 x Thank You Card 1 x User Guide All products sold by GEEKOM receive a 3-year free Warranty from the date you receive the product. If needed, you can RMA or return locally relative to your region (the U.S. has a U.S. warehouse, mainland E.U. has a German warehouse).
