apparently tf2 is completely devoid of bots right now because an update broke how most of them work and this is big news, congratulations tf2 community
You know one fucking merc I think is the most underrated in the tf2 fandom? Demo
For some damn reason, we have as a society let Demo in the backburner? Come ON PEOPLE!
He may be a drunk scottish cyclops, but he is a sweet and hardworking scottish cyclops! Have you seen how much this man works? He makes 5 million dollars a year. Hes able to get the job done even if he drinks himself beyond repair. He doesnt seem violent (not counting the battlefield lmaoo) towards his friends or mom. He loves his mother very much. HE BECAME FRIENDS WITH THE BLU SOLDIER! You know this man is so chill and would treat you right, and if thats not enough to convince you;
Remember he has multiple jobs. Hes probably the merc that would make me laugh the most, he would help me up when Im feeling down I LOVE HIM UGH I LOVE YOU TAVISH
They are already selling data to midjourney, and it's very likely your work is already being used to train their models because you have to OPT OUT of this, not opt in. Very scummy of them to roll this out unannounced.
Team Fortress 2 is like greek mythology to me. Like yes the characters have certain immutable characteristics but also there are so many equally valid interpretations of them. They can exist in any form because they are rich with personality. They can be extremely serious or extremely silly, both feel true to me. Overtime is canon. Emesis Blue is canon. Unusual Troubles is canon. Team Fabulous 2 is canon. Anything Winglet is canon. They're all video game characters but they're also not. The lore is real but not all the time and the fanwork is more original stuff with an unoriginal background. You can do anything with them and it feels right. If I got abducted by aliens and Heavy was there I'd probably say oh hey Heavy or oh shit it's Heavy TF2! Scout is a gamer. It doesn't matter that the game takes place before the invention and popularity of video games, Scout is a gamer. And the heavy is dead.
Something that always makes me sad about the comic WAR! It's how uneven is the way Soldier finds out about the "betrayal" and how Demoman finds out about the "betrayal"
Like, Miss Pauling gave Demoman some nice weapons and told him that his friend agreed to fight him and Demoman just stood there like:
"Damn"
He didn't even have the time to ask questions or request more evidence or refuse a second time.
But Soldier? Man, how Soldier found out it was just cruelty. First of all
They scared the shit out of him when the guy just took off his jacket right there in front of him.
And then
They break his little heart when they make a fake recording of Demoman calling him a "bad friend". And yet Soldier refuses, reaffirming how much he appreciates Demoman's friendship.
And after breaking his heart, they reduce the pieces to ashes!
Soldier is an extremely proud and stubborn character. This secret is not just a silly thing, it is probably Soldier's most personal and intimate secret, I think many of us are even convinced that Jane really believed he was legally a Soldier who deserved respect, but no. Jane Doe is aware of who he really is and he decided to tell Demoman about this.
This wasn't like Demoman who was simply confused because his friend one day simply decided that he wanted to kill Demo. Soldier was actually led to believe that Demoman hated him and that he haven't respect for his friendship that he decided to reveal Soldier's most intimate secret.
Not only that. From what Soldier says, he also paid for plane trips JUST TO GO VISIT DEMOMAN! And he gave Demo significant gifts (the medals). For Soldier, this not only felt like a betrayal, but he "realized" (in quotes because we know this is an administrator's invention) that his friendship with Demoman was one-sided, because Demoman didn't do the same things for him.
It just kills me how unfair this was for Soldier :"(
Edit: Demoman had his new weapons brought to the door of his house so he could have a test, Soldier didn't even know what weapons he would be offered, they just blackmailed him.
