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.

    • Qualcomm's new Snapdragon Reality Elite chip brings on-device AI to Android XR devices by Pradeep Viswanathan Qualcomm has been delivering dedicated SoCs for mixed reality and spatial computing devices for several years. The journey started with the Snapdragon XR1, followed by the Snapdragon XR2 in 2019, the Snapdragon XR2 Gen 2 in September 2023, and finally the Snapdragon XR2+ Gen 2 in 2024. Today, Qualcomm announced a major upgrade with the new Snapdragon Reality Elite Platform, which targets premium mixed reality and spatial computing devices. OEMs can use this SoC to power both all-in-one video-see-through headsets and lightweight, tethered optical-see-through glasses. Qualcomm highlighted that the Snapdragon Reality Elite will power the next wave of Android XR devices coming later this year. These wearables will offer better visuals, improved power efficiency, and deeper on-device AI integration compared to the previous generation. The Snapdragon Reality Elite can deliver up to 48 TOPS of AI performance, allowing large language models and large vision models to run directly on the device for the first time. In addition to enabling new spatial AI experiences, these new AI capabilities will improve head and hand tracking, as well as see-through features. On the performance side, the Snapdragon Reality Elite offers up to 60% higher GPU performance, up to 30% higher CPU performance, and up to 160% higher NPU performance compared to the previous generation. The platform supports visuals of up to 4.4K per eye at 90 frames per second for sharper images and smoother motion. Qualcomm is also claiming significant efficiency improvements. The Snapdragon Reality Elite can offer up to 20% longer battery life under the same workload. More importantly, the chipset can run up to 12 degrees Celsius cooler under load, making headsets more comfortable for users to wear for longer periods. The platform also includes improvements to video see-through, featuring lower latency and better image quality. Qualcomm states that its EVA hardware block helps accelerate demanding computer vision workloads, improving how digital content blends with the real world.
    • Umm... GitHub continues to use AWS. That's the story, that's the headline. There's no "new" news here. GitHub continues to require additional capacity beyond the originally-planned Azure allocations. There's nothing special about this; nothing noteworthy. They're still using AWS' infra until the cutover is complete.

    • Hello, I have used a few TEAM Group SSDs, USB flash drives, and Micro SDXC cards in the past. They all seemed to work fine. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky
    • "just $100 per TB"? Just? Are we trying to make this seem like the new normal? Kinda weird to make it sound like that is not a ridiculously expensive asking price.
