:woot: a hat dropping is rare as it is, twice in a week thats lucky!

According to this 5.42% TF2 players have it

Ooh. Then I may try and trade my second one for another hat or perhaps the new Heavy minigun :)

No kidding.....I have have had 2-3 hat drops since the drop system was added......that's including back when they had no drop cap and you could idle as long as you wanted for drops. Twice in one week is more than I have had in months worth of drops. Put it this way, I have crafted more hats than I have gotten through the drop system, and I have only crafted about 4-5 hats.

For that hat you could probably take 2-3 lvl 3 metals, crafting the new minigun takes only 2x lvl 2 metal + natasha, not worth it imho :D I have crafted that minigun already, it's good damage-wise but basically you can't move while shooting, more useful in defensive situations I think.

An item is only worth what the trader wants for it.

If all he wants is the new minigun for that hat, then it is completely worth it to him.

Don't let others set the price for items, decide what you want for what you have and use that as your price guide. It's the reason I wouldn't trade any of my equipped hats unless I got significantly more than others think they are worth, because if I could then I could easily trade for those same hats and have more left over. It's also the same reason I would only trade hats 1 for 1, no matter what hat it is I am trading and what hat it is I want.

Didn't you notice the big IMHO :D I just pointed out that he could get more for the hat - new minigun - 12 items + natasha, 3 scrap metal - 54 items :p

I know, I'm just pointing out to him that if that's all he wants for the hat, then that's exactly what that hat is worth to him.

So, Medics don't charge ubers anymore because of the other methods of healing. That is annoying.

I unboxed a second Winter Crate. Got the Fists of Steel, AGAIN. Traded them and a Reclaimed for The Milkman. So happy :D

The medic crossbow is stupid and it's making it even harder to get healed. Nice trade with the Milkman :)

2 hats is more than I've ever received from the random drop system, and the one hat I did get was due to a server glitch (everybody on the server was getting items every time they died)

It's one of the things that started me idling, and even then I've only gotten about 3-4 drop hats (the rest were crafted)

I've 210+ hrs playing TF2 and it's the 2nd hat I've got, the first one was Stainless Pot.

I have a total of ~1500 hours, 800 just from idling after the drop system was implemented....I have gotten 2 random drop hats, a Vintage Tyrolean and a Hotrod. I have crafted a Batters Helmet, Brigand helm, Respectless Rubber Glove, Stainless Steel Pot and a Safe n Sound.

Luckily, I have gotten my favorite hats for all my usual classes so I don't care too much about getting more (traded the Brigand Helm for a Tossle cap, I wear that as scout, the rubber glove as pyro and the pot as soldier).

    • EA launches in-game advertising platform for brands to "connect with audiences" by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The gaming giant Electronic Arts is exploring more ways to inject real-life brands into its games. Announced today as EA Advertising, the new platform is attempting to make it easier for brands to reach out for deals with the company and put their products inside titles like EA Sports FC, Madden, NHL, Skate, or The Sims. EA revealed that its EA Sports side of the company brings in "hundreds of millions of players across console, PC, and mobile" every year. Fan engagement of these titles was also touted as being "extraordinary," with 23,000 NFL seasons worth of games being played in Madden NFL daily, while EA Sports FC sees over a billion matches a day. “Players come to EA’s games and live experiences every day to play, watch, create and connect,” said David Tinson, Chief Experiences Officer at Electronic Arts. “That gives brands a meaningful opportunity to show up in ways that add value and respect the player experience, while maintaining authenticity in the worlds our teams are building. With EA Advertising, we’re helping brands become part of those moments in ways that are relevant and built for players.” Using the new program EA Advertising, brands will be able to inject their products into games in real-time via dynamic placement. EA says partners will have access to everything from stadium signage in sports games and targeted adverts to in-game content custom-made for the brands. These are described as additions designed to "enhance, not disrupt" experiences. "In these interactive gameplay environments, brands become part of the game itself, reflecting how players engage with advertising in real-world contexts," adds the company "Brands can activate across live environments, tailoring placements to meet campaign objectives, and update campaigns with ongoing optimization informed by aggregated engagement insights." Current real-world brand partnerships EA has built into its games include Visa (EA Sports FC and College Football), Lowe's (EA Sports FC, Madden NFL, and College Football), Red Bull (EA SPORTS FC), Xfinity and Peacock (EA SPORTS FC), and Mountain Dew’s (College Football).

    • UK to ban under-16s from social media following a six-week trial with teenagers by Paul Hill Credit: Pexels A few months ago, Neowin reported that the UK was trialing a social media ban with 300 teenagers for six weeks, that testing has come to an end, and Prime Minister Keir Starmer has announced that the country will ban under-16s from social media. Starmer said that this technology is making children unhappy and making it easier for bullies to harass and abuse them. He continued to talk about the addictive nature of social media, saying that it uses an infinite scroll designed to lock users in for hours. He said this interferes with children doing their homework, reading, playing with friends outside, and going to bed on time. Tackling the idea that nothing can be done about social media, Starmer said: The government’s action won’t stop at social media either, the PM said. It plans to take action on gaming services and livestreaming platforms. Right now, he said, strangers can contact any child unchecked. He said this wouldn’t happen in real life, and the government is going to stop it from happening online, too. The Labour government has overseen the introduction of the Online Safety Act, a big change to the internet which includes age verification on adult websites. This has led to a fair bit of backlash, but overall, the government is pushing ahead with these changes.

With its exceptional stability and cinema-grade imaging capabilities, the device redefines the art of portrait filmmaking, faithfully reproducing the rich tonal gradations and nuanced color transitions associated with film photography. The result is a new level of visual sophistication, creating high-end cinematic imagery that seamlessly blends atmosphere with narrative tension. The video released for the Robot Phone showcases the powerful stabilization capabilities of its built-in gimbal system, delivering exceptionally smooth handheld camera movement while preserving full image quality.
