: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).

    • Microsoft now allows you to tweak Visual Studio to new extremes by Usama Jawad Visual Studio 2026 recently netted a powerful feature that finally allows developers to review Git Pull Requests (PRs) directly in the integrated development environment (IDE), without needing to switch to the browser. However, that's not all that Microsoft introduced in the latest version, as it also offered a useful way to customize the IDE to their heart's content. Although Visual Studio 2026 already provides lots of stock themes based on Fluent Design principles, Microsoft understands that people still want to customize them further according to their preferences. The IDE now offers a new configuration page for themes under Tools > Options > Environment > Visual Experience > Theme colors. This allows you to set hex color codes for accent colors, hover states, and more, and apply them without requiring a restart. The Redmond tech giant further says that: Microsoft is also offering granular color tokens that allow you to customize various UX elements like the tab header without impacting the rest of the shell chrome. Your themes are also stored in JSON format in %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\VisualStudio\18.0_xxxxxxxx\ColorThemes, which basically enables you to share it with others or override existing themes. This is a major improvement in terms of the user experience powering these customization capabilities. This is because extensions were required to replace the theme, and it was not very easy to make minor adjustments. This theme configuration UX solves this problem and is available in Visual Studio 2026 version 18.7, available here.

    • It's interesting to hear that AI growth is not investor driven.
    • A few weeks ago, I had this same exact issue. Unfortunately, I didn't think of disabling the Secure Boot option in BIOS. I updated my BIOS to the latest version for my MB and it resolved the issue.
    • I have a partial answer, when I used a multi-port usb hub I had degraded speed performance with 3 large external hard drives connected (all having their own power supply). I managed to snag a nice (yet older) USB3 based wavelink docking station cheap / used that has x6 usb 3 ports and almost doubled the speed of the external hard drives transfer rate. This looks to be a slightly upgraded model -https://ebay.io/m/LZtjTy
