Valve just published a blog post regarding plans for the first MVM update in twelve years for TF2 (to be released later this year, sometime after August), and it shaping up to be the first MVM update to involve community submissions (excluding Robotic Boogaloo).

Zenos viator Galvus and him trying to deal with actually feeling things for once (Even if he doesn't really understand how to handle the comfort he receives from others for it)

I am also giving this man a dad that actually cares, because this brainworm have gotten me and there is no saving me from them.

I HAVE REALLY GOOD PERSONAL NEWS. LET'S FUCKING GOOOOO

[miriani-lavellan]

Lucanis Dellamorte will do the First Talon job until a) Caterina dies (won't be that long!) and b) he's satisfied there are good Crows to do the work, keep the family together and protect Antiva (might take a little longer)

and then he's absolutely taking early 'retirement' to travel and live the domestic life of his dreams

He's buying a very nice house with a garden in Treviso and frankly I would not be surprised if he opens a coffee house/restaurant. I mean it'll definitely be a front for Crow business too, but it will be run to a STANDARD with plenty of in person attention from its owner. If he doesn't have children of his own he'll probably be happy to mentor a fledging or two - but for other houses, not for Dellamorte.

He's off to Minrathous to assist in cases with Neve, off to Arlathan to guard Bellara in her hunt for artefacts. Touring Nevarra City with Emmrich, and going on expeditions to dwarven settlements with Taash and Harding - or taking monster hunting jobs with Davrin and Assan and getting extremely inebriated after. Every year, Taash will have a newly tailored Crow cloak delivered. He'll take jobs in Rivain to thank Isabela for smuggling supplies to the Crows, and return to the Anderfels more than once to quietly see that Mila has all she needs growing up.

If romanced, he'll get married. They'll honeymoon in Orlais and go to see the wyverns, and get recipe ideas from the best that remain in Val Royeaux. It'll never be the same between he and Illario, but he won't give up - and perhaps one day, with some friends of his own and a new purpose, his cousin will mature into something other than his poor choices.

And he'll never stop looking for answers in regards to him and Spite. He'll be at peace whether he finds them or not, but he'll always look for a safe way to give the spirit that helped save his life his freedom back. I like to think that one day they'll find a way, and in the Treviso night sky, people will look up and swear they saw a great violet Crow sweeping across the stars.

Cincinnati can do this right? Like this is not a case of "oh man we can really only afford to pay one of these guys." Like if they want to keep three of these guys in the building, it's expensive, but they can do that?

Yes, they could do it. I mean everyone brings up the fact that they are cash poor compared to other teams. But every team has ways of structuring contracts. The Bengals are very unique where they only usually guarantee the first year, they give you very large signing bonuses. They did change that precedent a little bit with Joe Burrow. But if they wanna do this, they could do it. And I think they should realize, and I think Joe Burrow has put that pressure on them to realize that, we're in a situation right now where we have good players and we could compete and we're letting good players out of the building. And we cannot let this happen. They've changed their business fashion over here over the last couple years where they've changed the naming right and they've built a new locker room and they've done different things to get better. The one thing they haven't changed yet is the way they handle contracts. So if they're willing to change the structures where they're willing to spread out the guarantees a little more instead of doing this one big lump sum payment. They could definitely make it happen and make it a little bit easier instead of having this problem with the cash every single year and giving it out in year one so heavy and not doing the rest of the years.

So there's ways of doing this and if they're willing to break precedent, it could become even easier. But every team is able to do it. I mean, Joe Burrow brought up the Eagles example. That is a very extreme one, but they should at least be able to get to the middle point of where the NFL is when it comes to their cash spending and the way they're able to handle the salary cap and restructure contracts. Like they don't do it that much, and if they're willing to do it, they'd be able to get all these guys under contract and make it happen. So, we'll see if they change it. I know that the pressure has gotten to them. The Joe Burrow stuff...Joe Burrow's a very private guy, the fact that he's willing to go out there and become public...and like he doesn't need to go to Media Row and be sponsored by Fedex. He has enough money. He's doing it because he wants to get the message across publicly. So, he's been doing it just to get the message across and I think it's gotten across. But now it's time to actually get these deals done and we'll see if they do.
