Still stitching together more tf2 stream snipes, but they probably won't be done before this thread closes out.

But I do still want to throw down a nice sendoff.

I'm only familiar with base TF2, so can someone explain why her spy-check didn't work? Is there some special item or something?

Hitting a disguised spy with a weapon gives no indication if the hits are actually hitting an enemy or not (no pings or damage counters) and a small volley with a syringe gun wont kill a spy. So if you keep your cool you might be able to trick people.

But that's a blutsauger. Wouldn't she have gotten healed if it were indeed an enemy?

No you don't get heal effects from hitting a disguised spy for whatever reason.

TF2 is honestly really weird about what gives spies away because you get stuff like the game giving you a killstreak/head for activating the spy's fake death, and not getting ubercharge for hitting a disguised spy with the ubersaw, which make sure the spy keeps his cover under really niche circumstances, but then you also have stuff like not being able to walk through spies like you can your own teammates, which gives everyone a perfectly reliable spycheck option if they just try bumping into them.

Considering how that video ended, this method doesn't seem particularly wise.

As far as Space Station 13 goes, you used to be able to make fractal cooking. This happened because of an oversight: sandwiches had names based off the ingredients in them (up to six), so you'd normally have, say, "peanut butter and ketchup and mayonaise and tomato and lettuce and bananna sandwich on plain bread" or whatever. This became exploitable via two things: first off, a cake recipe that would take any single food item, and second, the deep frier. When stuffed in a deep frier, any object becomes a food item (becoming deep fried/fried/lightly fried (item name)). You then put this into the cake recipe, baked the cake, then cut the cake into slices, deep fried the slices, added them (and possibly even more ingredients) to a new sandwich, deep fried the sandwich, rinse and repeat.

The eventual result was horrific non-euclidean abominations such as this:




Note that that is by FAR not even all of that particular sandwich's name, it's just all of it that would fit in the chat buffer

Can we have that quote from the defeated admin talking about how he job restricted 2 players who then ended up making nuclear bombs out of potato chips? Also an explanation of how they did it would be cool too. Edit: here it is.

"I couldn't figure out how you goatfuckers STILL managed to be terrorists with potato chips and water. YOU FOUND A WAY. I had two coders on IRC combing through reactions trying to figure out exactly how you motherless fucks were managing to make potato chips and water into explosives, and they had no loving idea. It shouldn't have been possible. It couldn't have been possible. I fear for the safety of the world if the people who managed to find a way to do murders with mother loving potato chips and goddamned water ever get recruited by a real world terrorist organization. The headlines the next day will read something like WE'RE ALL hosed: SOME NERD KILLS 3/4 OF THE WORLD'S POPULATION WITH A USED BANDAID AND THE SQUEAKER FROM A DOG TOY. THIS SECURITY PHOTO SHOWS THE SUSPECT PURCHASING A STICK OF GUM. DOES HE WANT FRESH BREATH, OR IS HE FINISHING THE JOB? OUR ONLY CONSOLATION IS THAT WE WILL PROBABLY NEVER SEE IT COMING. FILM AT 11 IF WE'RE LUCKY. OR UNLUCKY. gently caress IT. WHATEVER. -(AP)

edit to add: I would like to thank the Maker's Mark Distillery for providing me with the liquid courage to have made it through that terrible time"

I remember someone saying that his guild also had unofficial minimum cup size requirements for female characters.

I don't usually like it that well when goons run someone out of a game (I'm a big ol' softie at heart), but sometimes the game is unarguably better for their absence.

the insane racist TR player that played planetside 2, for example.

Segmentation Fault posted:

Over a year after he picked up his ball and went home, he decided to try returning with his outfit to the game. He promptly got laughed out of high command chat by everybody else on TR. He didn't return. (Of course, he cited computer issues.)

I couldn't find a good writeup, so I'll do one.

Buzzcutpsycho was the head of the Planetside 2 outfit (in-game term for clan/guild/whatever) The Enclave, a group whose history goes back all the way to the original Planetside. Buzzcutpsycho was, at first glance, your typical basic training washout milsperg: he peppered his language with vague military terminology (he often referred to himself in-game as "Dagger Actual," Dagger being his infantry-focused sector of the outfit) and styled himself as some sort of strategic and tactical genius. However, the reality was much worse.

There's a tendency for people involved in the US military to be pretty bigoted (just look at GIP). Buzzcutpsycho was certainly a cut above, however. Practically every other word out of his mouth was some kind of slur. He referred to Planetside 2's then-creative director Matt Higby as "Nigby," SOE's then-CEO John Smedley as a greedy Jew, constantly called people he disliked or just found inconvenient faggots or autists, and was generally a huge rear end in a top hat to everyone who didn't lick his boots. For some bizarre reason he commanded a cult of personality within his server's Terran Republic faction, and The Enclave was during its prime the largest TR outfit. However, plenty of people didn't care much for him outside of The Enclave, both within the TR and among the other two factions (Goons among both the New Conglomerate and Vanu Sovereignty, as well as Reddit among VS hated the loving guy). Here's a really great video of Buzzcutpsycho having a meltdown in the Terran Republic command chat (only available to squad and platoon leaders who buy into it with experience points):

Buzzcutpsycho's "You're all BAD! ABADDUHBADBADBAD" got remixed in song form by the guy who made Dropsy, which is hosted on Youtube here:

Even ignoring Buzzcut, playing in The Enclave was a bad experience. The outfit leadership demanded you use certain weapons, certain tactics, and even certain vocabulary; deviating from the norm here was grounds for expulsion. You were expected to show up at certain times, follow directions to the letter, and if you were anywhere near Buzzcut himself you were expected to drop everything to assist him. Buzzcut even had a "Praetorian Guard" of dedicated medics and engineers with squad-shared XP boosts equipped who were expected to constantly top up his health, revive him if he fell, and repair his mechanized robot suit if he felt like pulling one, following him at all times. The freedom loving Higby's Heroes, resident NC Goon outfit, and sister outfit Earth's Special Forces (codename GOKU) among the VS could not stand for this.

GOON and GOKU fought bravely against the Enclave menace, but found themselves stymied occasionally by his one strategy: Pile everything on one territory at once. Planetside 2, despite being an MMO, had issues when too many people are in one area at once. Dropping 200+ TR into one area (not even counting the opposing force) causes severe framerate issues, and as the game desperately tries to scale back to get the game to a playable state people start to drop out of existence if they're not close enough. A typical Enclave zerg would end up with the enemy render distance automatically lowered so far that people wouldn't even show up unless they were 10 feet in front of you. This was a game that required numbers, and no one outfit could match up. Goons needed an alliance.

Goons on the NC and VS side cooked up the Anti-Terran Republic Alliance, or ATRA, with the idea of both enemy factions putting aside differences to gently caress over the TR for one night. Many VS and NC factions copped to the idea, and while nothing formal was created, there was one night where the New Conglomerate and the Vanu Sovereignty didn't bother each other, but instead pushed up together, railguns and laser cannons side-by-side, up the north end of the deserts of Indar. Just to gently caress with Buzzcut. ATRA was so legendary that years after the fact TR people among the Mattherson server would sometimes swear that the NC and VS are working together whenever things wouldn't go their way.

Buzzcutpsycho left Planetside 2 shortly afterwards, claiming that he wasn't happy with a balance decision. The real truth is that he got humiliated.

This was 3 years ago and there's a lot of holes of information, if someone else could help me fill poo poo in that'd be great.

Wasn't there also some incident where another TR outfit parked their Sunderer (mobile spawn point) where he wanted to have his, and he just completely flipped his poo poo over it? (Even though functionally it doesn't matter who it belongs to.) He made some super-serious declaration about how all members of that outfit were now "Kill On Sight" despite them being part of the same faction. I think there was some big fallout from it including his Twitch account getting suspended.

It was a long time ago and I didn't pay much attention, living on EU servers myself, so probably got a lot of that wrong. I just remember being simultaneously entertained and bemused at the time by this guy's ego being so inflated that he would genuinely rage the gently caress out simply because not every single person on the server was bowing down to his greatness.

BCP was very aware that we were goons, and after the incident in Libya (when Vilerat passed) he and others in his outfit started indiscriminately hounding down random goons and bragging about his death. Many of them ate bans for that, week-long usually. Furthermore, even SOE (the developer) got so sick of his poo poo that they began grasping for straws, any reason at all, to ban this motherfucker. They got their opportunity when he was using Planetside 1 music in his stream, which seems harmless enough. SOE jumped at the opportunity and shortly after that it was made abundantly clear that nobody wanted him around, including the developers, who would happily pounce on any insignificant slight on the rules to slam him with the harshest punishments. He quit a few weeks later and left this big winding rant and ended it along the lines of "...everyone called me cancer, but guess what? In the end cancer always wins " And nothing of value was lost. He returned again a year later but pretty much everyone took the chance to teamkill him on sight.
