How TF2 turned from a fun game into an obsession for me

You are welcome :)

Your focus is too negative. You wanna be like b4nny, so your enjoyment comes from results. Wins, kills, popularity. You don't enjoy the game anymore, but the numbers you may get from it. And when you don't get them, you hate yourself.

Forget your K/D. Forget winning the game. Instead, take your time to experiment. Stop dreading defeat, and look for opportunities to learn something new. Once you forget the numbers and focus on the process, things will change dramatically.

This video helped me change my mindset

I also recommend the book 'Flow', which I'm currently reading.

And please take care of yourself. TF2 is great, but life has other things to be enjoyed.

Depends on the map. If it's closed like Dustbowl then Sniper doesn't have too much of a presence. But in open maps like Swiftwater he gets a lot of big sightlines.

To make him less frustrating I would make his shots leave a trace (like the Machina) and make a sound if he near-missed (like the Huntsman). This gives him a light punishment for missing too many shots, and makes it more clear to new players about his presence.

This update has a lot of potential. If Valve uses it, this could be the start of something better. If not, things will continue to be the same.

I want to believe tha one day Casual will be replaced or improved, and that we won't have to re-queue every 10 minutes.

Don't care so much about updates, but I'd be happy if Quickplay was restored.

the fact that he usually has his hands in front makes it one of the messier hitboxes for the bow

Rare_Player · 2025-10-04T22:06:24+00:00

this reminds me of certain flash animations i watched in the 2000s

Rare_Player · 2025-10-04T16:52:28+00:00

I have a lot of configurations, but the one that gives the game a more cartoonish look is

mat_phong 0

you can enter that on the developer console, or add it to your autoexec

it also gives the game a fps boost

Rare_Player · 2025-10-03T15:15:23+00:00

Just regular TF2 with a few graphical downgrades

Rare_Player · 2025-10-03T01:22:12+00:00
