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 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.

    • Microsoft's Copilot Cowork now generally available with usage-based billing

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      Microsoft's Copilot Cowork now generally available with usage-based billing by Pradeep Viswanathan Back in March, Microsoft first revealed Copilot Cowork, a new agentic AI experience in Microsoft 365 Copilot through which users can assign tasks to AI to complete in the background. After testing the service with a limited set of customers in Research Preview for a few weeks, Microsoft announced the general availability of Copilot Cowork to customers in the Frontier program on March 30. Today, Microsoft announced the general availability of Copilot Cowork worldwide for Microsoft 365 Copilot customers. The company also highlighted that Cowork became the fastest-growing feature in the history of its Frontier program. Unlike regular Copilot Chat, Copilot Cowork can run complex, long-running, multi-tool tasks from start to finish in the cloud by using organizational context through Work IQ. When compared to Claude Cowork, Microsoft claims that Copilot Cowork will be 30% to 40% cheaper on average with its Microsoft 365 connector. For now, Copilot Cowork runs on Anthropic models, including Opus 4.8 and Sonnet 4.6. However, Frontier customers can now use GPT-5.5. Microsoft also announced Cowork 1, a secure fine-tuned model coming in the next few weeks, which is designed to handle everyday Copilot tasks at a lower cost. To access Copilot Cowork, a Microsoft 365 Copilot user subscription is required. Usage is billed separately through Copilot Credits, based on model use, context retrieval, tool calls, and runtime. Pay-as-you-go pricing is set at $0.01 per Copilot Credit. To offer IT teams full control over usage costs, Microsoft provides spending limits, usage alerts, user-level controls, reporting, and prepaid usage plans for organizations. Usage-based billing begins today. However, Frontier customers who used Cowork between March 30 and June 16 will not be billed until July 1, 2026. The Microsoft 365 Copilot app now includes a toggle to enter the full Cowork experience. Microsoft is also adding partner plugins, with Enosix, Harvey, LSEG, Miro, monday.com, Moody’s, Morningstar, S&P Global Energy, and TeamsMaestro available now. Adobe, Atlassian, Box, Canva, Databricks, and others are coming soon.

    • KillerPDF 1.5.1

      By Copernic · Posted

      KillerPDF 1.5.1 by Razvan Serea KillerPDF is a lightweight, portable PDF editor for Windows built for users who want full control without subscriptions, installers, or telemetry. It runs as a single executable, making it ideal for USB use and field work. You can view PDFs with smooth PDFium rendering, navigate quickly with thumbnails, zoom, and shortcuts, and reorganize pages using drag-and-drop. It supports merging multiple PDFs, splitting documents, and extracting selected pages. KillerPDF also allows inline text editing with font matching to preserve the original layout, plus annotations like text boxes, freehand drawing, highlights, and reusable signatures. You can search full text, copy content easily, and print documents with flattened annotations. Designed as a free and open alternative to bloated PDF tools, it works fully offline on Windows 10/11 x64. No runtimes install. Everything needed is inside the EXE (targets .NET Framework 4.8, which ships with every supported Windows release). KillerPDF key features: High-quality PDF rendering via PDFium Edit PDF text inline (double-click to modify text) Page thumbnails and fast navigation with zoom and shortcuts Merge multiple PDFs into one Split PDFs and extract selected pages Drag-and-drop page reordering Font matching to preserve original document appearance Text boxes for notes Freehand drawing tools Highlight overlays with adjustable color, size, opacity Undo actions and clear per-page annotations Create, draw, and save reusable signatures Click-to-place signatures anywhere Full-text search with highlighted results Drag-select or Ctrl+A to copy text Print with annotations flattened Portable single-file app (~10 MB) No installer, no admin rights required No account, no telemetry KillerPDF 1.5.1 changelog: Performance Save Flattened PDF now uses multiple CPU cores. Page rasterization is parallelized (PNG encoding runs across cores; the PDFium render step stays serialized since the library isn't thread-safe), so large documents flatten significantly faster while the UI stays responsive (#68). Fixed PDFs that failed to open with "Unexpected EOF" now open (#72). The failure was PdfSharpCore's Flate inflater (SharpZipLib) rejecting the FlateDecode cross-reference stream on multi-revision PDFs - files that open fine in browsers, Acrobat, and Foxit. KillerPDF now detects this and re-opens the file losslessly through PDFium, preserving selectable text. Thanks to @javajon for the report and a detailed reproduction. Grid view renders every page. It was capped at the first 26 pages, so longer documents stopped loading partway through. Tiles also stream in progressively now instead of blocking until the whole document is rendered. Grid Ctrl+Scroll no longer reloads every page when the zoom is already at its limit and nothing would change. Removed a stray horizontal scrollbar (a thin green line) that could appear across the bottom of grid view. Files on UNC / network shares (including the WSL \\wsl$ filesystem) are copied locally before opening, avoiding partial-read failures on network filesystems. Changed Minimum zoom lowered from 10% to 5%, so grid view can pack more columns (helpful for wide/landscape pages) and single-page view can zoom out further.
