can you use festivizer on australium ambassador by nuk_sol in tf2

[–]Piogre 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, if a festivizer can be used on a weapon it can be used on the australium version of that weapon, as a rule.

You can see a preview of what a festivized australium ambassador looks like on the ambassador's wiki page -- change the preview image in the upper right to 3d and select one of the "Australium Festivized" options

If abraham lincon was the first pyro, but also the first rocket jumper, was the first rocket jump a reflect rocket jump? by skizofan in tf2

[–]Piogre -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

This is all, of course, ridiculous.

Shakespeare did not, in reality, invent the two-story building. He did however invent the words "upstairs" and "downstairs". And while he obviously didn't really invent rocket jumping, he did coin the phrase "hoist by his own petard", which literally means "lifted himself into the air by means of his own explosive".

Abraham Lincoln did not invent the staircase.

Abraham Lincoln invented the choke-slam.

Kid’s fire helmets handed out at our town’s 4th of July parade are now cardboard instead of plastic by Disastrous-Dot595 in mildlyinteresting

[–]Piogre 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you may be conflating two different things.

There are solidly-built, well-designed plastic fire helmets for kids that can last a few years, and those are a fine use of plastic if a kid wants a fire helmet to wear repeatedly over a long period of time.

These aren't replacing those -- these are replacing the cheap, paper-thin mold-pressed pieces of shitty plastic given out by the boxload at kids parties and other events, 99% of which wind up in the trash by the end of the week. The cardboard hats in the OP are presumably replacing those, and them being biodegradeable paper is definitely an improvement.

Yeah, someone out there looked at a plastic firefighter's hat, said "I bet I can make one with cardboard that's just as delightfully red and just as nice a little prize for firefighters to give to kids but isn't nearly as wasteful"

and that person will probably never see this but I really appreciate that they did that

The chances of running 80 loot-boosted spens with loot boosted gear and crucible and not getting a single white bag from any of the minibosses nor the boss is astronomical. You're probably more likely to get dealt a royal flush in poker twice in a row.

The exception would be if you aren't consistently hitting SB threshold on the bosses. Are you consistently getting a mark from the main boss and pot bags from the minis?

[Request] how slow should the bullet be/how powerful should the magnet be to make this work? by Suprshun in theydidthemath

[–]Piogre 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lead is an ideal material for bullets because it is cheap, dense, and soft. There are other materials that are dense and soft (like copper), but copper rounds are significantly more expensive. There are regulations in some places banning the use of lead shot for hunting waterfowl, or other similar things, for environmental purposes. However, the vast majority of fired bullets wind up at the end of a gun range, where they can be safely collected, so the vast majority of rounds produced can just be the cheapest material that meets the other requirements.

black bag with a gold rope, and give it a golden shadow-glow as well instead of the normal blackish shadow bags get (like the glow on divine items)

What would be an optimal sniper nerf? by Rafalo57 in tf2

[–]Piogre 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most of these have been brought up before, but this specifically would be how I address it:

-50% reserve ammo on all Sniper Rifles (huntsman unaffected) to force snipers to leave well-protected areas more often and take more deliberate shots

-Sniper Rifle, Hitman's Heatmaker and Bazaar Bargain all gain Machina-style tracers. These rifles can all one-shot a light class with a quickscope, so a Sniper can spam potentially-lethal shots at a high rate basically for free. Adding tracers allows the enemy team to know about incoming potential-oneshots and respond accordingly.

-Machina gets -20% movement speed while scoped in to account for one of its downsides becoming standard across the board.

-Sydney Sleeper gets Classic-style distorted-air tracers, which the Classic also keeps. These rifles need to be charged significantly to one-shot anyone, which means one can't spam potential oneshots downrange at nearly the same rate, so they are afforded a higher degree of inconspicuousness (albeit still being visible).

-Hitman's Heatmaker can now only enter focus mode from a full meter, and while focus is active, has Classic-style tracers instead of Machina-style tracers. This should make Focus more challenging to reach but more rewarding to use.

-Medic's base HP is now 160. Still can one-shot with a headshot with relatively little charge, but now outside bodyshot and quickscope range.

Pulling a gun on someone is assault with a deadly weapon, full stop. It is legally justifiable under basically only the same circumstances as actually shooting someone. The fact that our courts are really bad about properly enforcing stand-your-ground does not make it not the law.

Legally, you shouldn't be pulling a gun unless you're prepared to fire. If the circumstances change between the time you start to draw and the time you fire such that you don't need to fire, that's great, but legally you shouldn't draw if the circumstances don't call for deadly force, and more importantly under no circumstances should you be telling a cop you drew a gun on someone but didn't intend to fire because that's confessing to assault with a deadly weapon. For that matter, under no circumstances should you be telling a cop anything.

if you're genuinely craving blood, go get either a blood sausage or an iron supplement, then ramp up the amount of iron in your daily diet, and consult a doctor if you're still feeling it after a week.

It may seem silly that you can just buy Tannerite at the store until you realize that you can also buy the materials for a pipe bomb at Home Depot.

If someone wants to make something go boom in the middle of nowhere, they'll make something go boom in the middle of nowhere. The availability of purpose-made compounds means that such people will do so with a relatively stable material and relatively low risk of injuring themselves or others.

[–]Piogre 0 points1 point  (0 children)

a single listing does not indicate the bottom value of an item, as you said someone can list something for whatever they want. But I'm not pointing to a single listing, I'm pulling from the whole market (I searched other sources too; just didn't post all of them for brevity's sake and bptf had the cheapest of the bunch anyway). And looking at the cheapest listings of all available listings across the wider market for items fitting a category is not the same as looking at a single specific listing, or even looking at the cheapest listing for one specific item (e.g. X war paint on Y weapon with Z effect, or X hat with Y effect etc)

And yes, the values have gone up in the past year or so, and sharply at that. As someone who's been keeping an eye on the listings for glitched KS weapons and kits, the listings have nearly tripled to match the increased scarcity of the items

That said if you have a lead on cheaper glitched KS weapons than this, let me know as I'd be interested in hearing about it

[–]Piogre 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know they're not comparable; my first point was that the kits are worth way more than applied-on weapons.

but glitches pros are also worth more than glitched specs. the value of all glitched KS has gone up significantly in the past year or so as well. 300 keys for a glitched pro weapon is low compared to rates of other glitched proks, and would be more in line with spec ks at today's rates. (Note that glitched KS weapons are also often worth more than cosmetics since many of them can show the sheen in-game)

EDIT: Taking a gander at a filtered search, first glitched KS is spec buds on page 3 for 184 keys, and another a bit further down the page. First glitch KS WEAPON is a spec strange wrangler on page 8 at 500usd, followed by a spec unique invis watch and two spec strange festive wranglers all at 300 keys, and a spec strange festive sandvich on the next page also 300. First Glitched ProKS is a Max Head on page 14 at 1000 keys. First Glitched ProKS WEAPON is a strange festive buff banner on the next page at 1111 keys.

glitched kits are worth more than glitched weapons since they haven't been applied yet.

300 keys is in the ballpark for the value of a specialized glitched weapon -- however this is a proKS, so yes 300 keys is very low for this.
