​Just be like Brian and never think about what you're going to say. Simple solution.

​I know, sometimes I'll be responding to something then realize what I was about to say was absolutely fucking retarded and then go back to the front page.
Then a day later or so I'll go to reply to something else and instead see the same shit from last time staring at me, reminding me how much of a fucking retarded failure I am. Thanks commander.

A post laughing about how people on a bodybuilding forum have an argument about how many days go in a week erupts into an argument about counting years here.
Never change, spufpowered.

Even if it's not, I'm going to assume this whole conversation is all just sarcasm and Poe's Law so I don't feel compelled to bludgeon my brains out with a brick.

somehow this thread devolves into an argument about how many days are in a week and it's the funniest thing I've seen in a while 

​Obviously it was an alternate dimension where Abraham Lincoln was never born.

I was in this house with my parents and some scientist professor looking guy. For whatever reason there were no stairs in the entire world, and that was the norm, as if I was in some other dimension, and I was trying to explain to him the concept behind them but he wasn't getting it at all. There were rope ladders and this webbing sort of thing on all the walls. He got really angry with me shouting about how stupid the concept of stairs was then stormed out. I was so confused that I just woke up.

god damn it

​Basically this.
The game itself might not be "dead", there are plenty of people still playing it, but the core community is dwindling by the day, and one could argue much of it is already gone.
The corpse might shamble forward and groan "Haaaaaatss..." every now and then, but the working brain and the soul of the game are dead and buried.
I played TF2 from late 2008 to early 2014. From '08 to '11 I played it on the Xbox.
Now, that game might have a fucking MINUSCULE community, but it exists. Most of the people who played it knew how to play it well, and I had tons of fun with it, and the majority of my Xbox friends list is populated by people I met playing TF2, some few I still keep up with (them having moved to Steam).
I joined SPUF in August 2011, roughly the same day I first installed TF2 on my very first computer (yes, I never owned a computer before I turned 18), and despite all the assholes that populated that forum (which I quickly became one of, by many's estimation), you could tell there was a camaraderie there, a shared joy in a game everybody liked playing despite their individual gripes about the specifics of some of it.
Here we are, four years later, and that just seems completely gone. I still lurk SPUF every now and then, but it's in a sad, pitiful state. Potato is even worse.
I last played TF2 on January 1st...but only to log in long enough to get the Christmas gifts just in case I wanted to come back to it. Before that it was maybe June I had actually played it, and March before that when I first "quit playing" TF2.
The game was just soulless. There was no excitement to it. Nearly a year of not really playing and the majority of the community was still worse than me, and I was garbage. There's no skill left anywhere but the comp scene, and most of the well known members of that have drifted off since late 2013 to 2014 as well, along with most of the prominent video makers like Stabby Stabby and STAR_ (I mean, I fucking hate STAR_ but at least he made videos of TF2 that people watched).
Almost nobody talks any more. Not even text chat beyond "Hurr durr buy my shit". You may as well be playing with fucking bots.
Valve doesn't talk to the community any more. The update that came out today is proof of that. Just *PFFFFT* here's a fucking update. No fanfare, no interesting teasers, just "Yeah, we got bored and actually made something, here ya go".
So what's the point? There's no challenge, there's no community beyond small pockets of people worth playing with (like the FastCo. server), there's no real developer support...why play it?
