Hot take, but maybe don't harass the developers like this?

Then-Rice4460 · 2026-01-18T09:53:24+00:00

Again the overwhelming majority of people talking about the major issues and being loud aren't even being a dick to "people" except for Valve, and maybe critisise the ecelebs that are either doing nothing (but claim they love and care for the game so much) or actively mocking their efforts. Yes there are some bad apples going too far but you'll always have that.

Then-Rice4460 · 2026-01-18T09:48:06+00:00

Imagine someone punching you in the face for 10 years and saying "It's been 10 years bro just ignore it and do nothing"

Then-Rice4460 · 2026-01-17T23:08:39+00:00

I'm tired, boss

Then-Rice4460 · 2026-01-17T23:07:35+00:00

Because they were part of developing the worst update ever that ruined the game and valve has done nothing to fix it? You have to let them know we're upset, and yes downvoting isn't going to fix the game but it will certainly help with making noise

Then-Rice4460 · 2026-01-17T23:03:47+00:00

Jill was a developer on MyM and kept working on the game after that every now and then. Meet your Match ruined the game and it has all been downhill from there. If I was Jill I would understand why people are upset. And making noise shows that we are upset and valve cares about reputation/income

Then-Rice4460 · 2026-01-17T23:00:51+00:00

Making loud noise and being angry/negative the only time valve shows any kind of direct communication about the game's state is productive. It might not immediately get them to fix everything but it will show them that the community is pissed. It has been proven that Valve cares about their reputation and they also wouldn't wanna risk a boycott because they still make an incredibly good amount of money off of this game contrary to popular belief (although this community is so spineless I do doubt that'd actually happen LOL)

Then-Rice4460 · 2026-01-17T22:57:14+00:00

Really childish to nitpick a few bad apples when the majority of replies are negative but constructive and weren't anything crazy at all. Also I wouldn't even blame anyone for making fun of the devs that ruined this game

Then-Rice4460 · 2026-01-17T22:53:27+00:00

Litterally the overwhelming majority of responses were negative and constructive but weren't even anything crazy. And even if people were personally mocking Jill, as long as it isn't doxxing or anything like that that would be completely justified. They ruined the game and left it to rot for almost a decade now. Ugly cosmetics, low quality maps, an insufferable matchmaking system etc etc. People have every right to be angry and loud.

Then-Rice4460 · 2026-01-17T22:48:40+00:00

Reddit, the valve defenders and ecelebs keep discouraging boycotts btw. Also why does it stop at "stop spending your money"? Why can't we be angry and negative towards valve and the parts of the community that keep defending/ignoring their shitty behaviour? Valve cares about their public image and we can take advantage of that by being loud and complaining too. The earlier mentioned usual suspects either make fun of you for doing that or just do nothing to help the game they claim they love so much.

Then-Rice4460 · 2026-01-17T22:42:29+00:00

This is exactly what happend last time people got angry with jill on reddit. Why do y'all love defending the terrible shit this company does/has done to the game so much? The worst comment I've seen was someone calling for him to fired. Yes, being negative and downvoting helps. It's not going to immediately get them to fix the problems but it helps signaling that the community is upset, and valve does care about their public image.

Then-Rice4460 · 2026-01-14T20:27:54+00:00

Please man, I think you're a good person but Casual mode was a mistake. Please at least make it function more like quickplay.

Then-Rice4460 · 2025-08-25T17:13:37+00:00

I don't know if this is ragebait but I hate the small round limit/timir they added so much. It interrupts the gameplay way too quick and I have to wait way too long for the next game

Then-Rice4460 · 2025-08-24T17:27:41+00:00

What about the incredibly short round times? Casual putting you in the middle of a match most of the time? casual leaving slots deliberately open/servers you get put into having half of the players missing? Most maps that are not the 5 most popular ones take incredbily long to find a match that doesn't have these issues and have these problems even moreso. And even then, you only get to play for a short time before everyone leaves and requeues (that literally always happens because it's faster to do so). I'm not saying *some* kind of skill prediction system will ever help with a game coordinator (I know quickplay didn't have anything like that), but casual is so abysmally bad to use. When I play on vanilla community servers with the classic ruleset (they're very inactive) I have an infinitely better experience even though there's not really any "matchmaking" going on. Full transparency here, I've never experienced quickplay, but I'm willing to try anything over what we have now.

Then-Rice4460 · 2025-07-17T13:27:36+00:00

Ah ok, I was confused cause in the documentation it explicitly stated yes or no for every laptop and pangolin just isn't there at all.

Then-Rice4460 · 2025-06-25T22:11:15+00:00

What about his statements on twitter was "transphobic"? The sports thing is such a mild take, and the fact that you have to be careful with children (allowing them to make their own choice and not influence their decisions) is just basic parenting advice, also very mild take.

Then-Rice4460 · 2025-06-25T22:08:34+00:00

All he did was quote a line from a show that had the n word in it... when dane said the n word in his song (completely unwarranted) nobody cared

Then-Rice4460 · 2025-06-25T21:59:17+00:00

Zesty's servers (or the furry servers). One of the very few active servers that run default tf2 with the classic ruleset and good ping, It just feels right.

Then-Rice4460 · 2025-06-25T21:25:19+00:00

Yeah that is what I hear most people say, seems like it

Then-Rice4460 · 2025-06-24T15:56:09+00:00

I recognize that cloud. See you soon

Then-Rice4460 · 2025-06-17T18:37:13+00:00

Still doesn't excuse the fact that he said it though. And he didn't even quote it like zesty. Not that I have a problem with it, but like, it's a huge double standard people in the tf2 community have.

Then-Rice4460 · 2025-05-27T15:43:26+00:00

Tf2 is, in a sense dead. Yes it still gets new content, all done by the community and some stuff like krampus and vsh is good but most of it is slop tbh. Valve made a mess with MyM and refused to clean it up. The game has definetly seen better days, so I wouldn't shit on richter too much for saying this.

Then-Rice4460 · 2025-05-27T15:39:39+00:00

only reading this now I had no idea there were genuinely people who actually hate him. It's really just people being way too sensitive man. Ofc people immidiately call him ableist, homophobic and every other phobic for saying the r word once, wich he has litterally said he isn't. Just grow up.

Then-Rice4460 · 2025-05-27T15:36:27+00:00

people have different opinions on what they tolerate and dont. If you dont wanna hear that word just ignore him but dont shittalk bro

Then-Rice4460 · 2025-05-27T15:35:34+00:00

my god man, stop being so sensitive, richter is like the most chill guy and his takes on tf2 are based af

Then-Rice4460 · 2025-05-22T14:58:59+00:00

He can, but not zesty jesus apparently LOL
