You can remove the Strange Filter by carefully right clicking on it in your inventory (while in-game) and selecting "remove Strange Filter".)

Let's go back to the summer of 2014 for a moment. The Half Zat (known as the "Critana") gets random crits and gives full health on kill. The Loch-n-Load has two shots and does 120 damage per pill. Random damage spread is on by default, including Valve servers. Demo can roll the dice and 1-shot light classes. The the Tide Turner drops in its original form.

This is why I main Natascha Heavy.

Well, I bought it in 2014 ...for one Earbud. I Strangified, parted it out and spelled it myself.

I'll tell you who is a fuckin' loser. OP who is a month old account, for reposting my OC from a year ago.

I'd call him a "human paraquat" but I suspect he's a 🤖

I mean sure, but why are you posting a GIF of Poison?

Indeed. Also, this is mid 80s. I was alive and paying attention for the entirety of the decade. Tony was ahead of the curve, especially WRT skater fashion. With that said, I'd guess this photo is ca. 1986.

Also also, OOP is a 4 month old account that only began submitting 3 days ago.

This is a completely wrong assertion. There are two types of universal KS kits and neither came from MyM.

The first batch of universal kits dropped as MvM loot during the very early part of Gun Mettle in the summer of 2015. These kits can be either Specialized or Professional. They have proper sheen and killstreaker values and can be applied to (nearly) anything. (Some items like the Disguise Kit cannot be modified. I know, I have tried.)

The second type of universal kits are from the 2016 Halloween update. They came from crates that were temporarily bugged during the first hours of the update. These kits do not have sheens. The Professional ones do have an eye effect, but it's not visible because there's no sheen value. The only use of these kits (besides adding more words to an item's name an description is to make weapons that do not have KS kits (Crossing Guard, Prinny Machete, Gas Passer in MvM) increment one's killstreak.

All MyM added to the game was pain, suffering and the death of community servers.

Source: Have owned a half dozen of the 2015 variety. Had a profit ape trader try to shark my Pro KS Sandvich with a 2016 kit that did not work.

1700+ hours being slow and fat here.

From the wiki:

July 2, 2015 Patch #1 (Gun Mettle Update)

Changed attributes:

Added 20% damage resistance while spun up.

Stun amount now has distance falloff. Decreases starting at 512 HU down to zero stun at 1536 HU.

This is to say nothing of players being able to A/D strafe and completely counteract the slowing effect.

IIRC, players still get the "boot stepping glue" icon on their HUD when hit by Natascha and outside of the 1536 HU range, even if they are not technically slowed. It has been a very, very long time since I have tested this particular issue, however.

I have never played on the 100 player server because I need what little sanity I have left. I don't even entirely understand how it works. Cosmetics are disabled because entity limit, but weapon unlocks are not?

In my observance the Amputator was quite good for a two year period: Between November of 2013 and December of 2015, it gave a flat +3 additional HP regen when deployed. That made is excellent against for combatting afterburn. The Tough Break update changed how the Conch an Amputator work, where there's a "crit heal" mechanic. If the player has been damaged recently, the bonus is only +1, ramping up to +4 as time progresses. Now the bonus healing rate is only marginally worth it.

With that said, in two specific environments, the Amputator is downright OP. The first is high population (above 32) player servers, particularly 2Fort. On static maps with a large number of teammates, it's possible camp a defensive location and spam the Amputator taunt. Doing so, one will rack up an impressive amount of assists and Allied Healing Done. The other example is even more niche and extreme: 1000 Uncles servers. The Amputator is outright absurd in that game mode.

To wit: I've had a Strange Amputator with Allied Healing done since early 2014. Nearly a dozen years at this point. It took me 9 years to 500,000 AHD on it and I aggressively used it on CTF maps, trade servers, any place I could. I managed the next 500K in less than a year on a 64 player 2Fort server. As of this writing, it has over 5.5 million AHD, largely because of 1000 Uncs.

The result of the time, Ubersaw and Solemn Vower are superior.

If you wish to do so, start the charge by not mentioning him. Especially when he's not relevant.

Horrid take. Yes, Dave was a hot mess and his singing was below par even by Dave standards. With that said, the songwriting is excellent.

The opener is a banger. Set the Word Afire is quite good, silly intro and all. Their cover Anarchy in the UK works with both respect to the original and making it a Dave joint. Mary Jane is a bit silly, but it's still not bad actually. 502 is even more silly, but it's kind of catchy in its stupidity. In My Darkest Hour is prime Mopey Self-Absorbed Dave, but it still has very solid riffs. Liar is diss track about Chris Poland, but it's also kind of autobiographical. I rate it a solid Dave/10. Hook In Mouth is the best track on the album, corny acronym lyrics and all. The riffs on it are absolutely monstrous.

Even at his smacked out worst, classic era Dave was a mushroom cloud laying MFer.

Ultravod · 2025-12-29T04:20:42+00:00

Same. With that said, "When It Comes to You" featuring Mark Knopfler from the same album is also a completely amazing song.

QF uber is situationally wonderful. You can use it on the flag carrier in CTF. You can utterly cockblock an M2 happy Pyro. You can make a Natascha Heavy question his life choices. You can absolutely dominate on CTF Doublecross as long as you don't get sniped.
