To chime in on #TeamFortress2 malfunctions conversation:

Most community-made maps and gamemodes go through extensive testing during development... using the community server infrastructure, and with the creators having full control over the compiled result

Yes, TF2 breaks and here's how to fix it

Arena_afterlife was working on community servers flawlessly, even with 100 players! I’ve spent weeks making sure the tech is stable, but the discrepancies between Community and Casual, something I had no way to test for, caused things to break. Same was with VSH.

If Casual is here to stay, I wish the community creators had access to testing things in advance under the Casual ecosystem. Sure, the community is taking notes on how Casual probably works post-mortem, but if we’d be able to test and debug things as they’ll run in Casual before the update goes live, things would be much more stable!
Perhaps, maybe Valve could give the update participants access to a test build of the game before the update goes live, so that we could ensure everything is good to go.

On an adjacent topic, modern TF2 maps are made using community-made tools, which Valve, for understandable security reasons, can’t use. We could, hypothetically, bypass many of the engine limits using those tools while remaining compatible with the game, but since Valve insist on compiling TF2 maps on their end, we have to keep our maps compatible with the outdated tools Valve haven’t touched for over a decade.
There’s also a handful of engine bugs that could be bypassed if a map could be compiled using community-made tools, but alas.

This means that if the community mappers could send Valve the compiled result after testing it on the Casual infrastructure, rather than Valve having to compile the map out of the source files on their end, we’d have higher quality, more optimised, and more stable maps. In fact, this is how it was handled for CS:GO.
And it’d also avoid the bummers like missing textures, missing payload carts, or mp3 audio cache getting corrupted. You have no idea how vigorously mappers polish and double check their work after being selected but before the update goes live.

In addition to that, Casual sv_pure settings introduce asset loading related bugs on community servers they do not happen.

Trump threatens to shut down US government unless all trans health care is banned

The US government's looming shutdown hinges on anti-trans measures after Donald Trump refused to speak to Democrats unless they were passed.

some sketches i found from an old old scrapped comic idea about Eddie comforting a younger version of himself! i don't think i super resonate with how i wrote it anymore, but i stlil like these sketches

a digital sketch of an anthropomorphic goat in white hugging a younger anthropomorphic goat in black. there is a spotlight on them with the text, "It gets so much better. I promise"

Two panels featuring the same characters. The older goat is smiling with tears in his eyes, reassuring the kid, but the kid continues to look fearful.

A continuation of the previous panels. The older goat pauses, before turning around.

the camera pans out to reveal the kid is staring past the other goat at monsterous lanky figures with their faces scribbled out

Et tu Stephen Silver?

I am going to mute this, but we deserve to know which of our peers think autism needs to be "cured" because they would be the first ones to agree with an authoritarian who wants our autistic friends "removed."

Remember to look at the cracks as non allies reveal themselves.
