Remove all those chimps except that cheeky one in the bottom right and I think that'd be accurate.
seriously i don't even know why people are still actively waiting at this point, there have been many other games that have grabbed my interest for a while now
we are in october for fucks sake
sooner or later we'll be in february and we still won't have jungle

How did you get a picture of my office?!

Honestly, I just lurk where when I'm bored.
so how many VNN questions need to be answered? i kept feeling the closer we got to the update, the more questions we got answered.
Just got kicked from a casual match for trying to kick a guy with anime cp as his steam avatar...

Speaking of other games, has anyone here played cuphead?
anybody saw the update?

I'm expecting a bombshell of information to drop on the 10th regarding what they have planned.
So essentially a slightly longer "What Were Up To" post.

Nah. It became the only senior member of the TFTeam, making him the lead designer. Soon thereafter it chased after its original ideas and pitched an as of yet unannounced title.
It's one of the current under-development Valve projects and its a TeamFortress spin-off. Rumors say its a full fledged, 3A, PokerNightAtTheInventory inspired, MMORPG.
So we're left with the Janitor as the current lead designer and the baby as a secondary coder.

Don't.
Since this is the general - could anyone point me in the direction of that vtf utility site that converts high quality/size images to a vtf that just barely fits the max ingame limit? I can't find it for the life of me :V
oh also my hype for the next update is on life support so there's that
I have a feeling nothing is going to happen on the 10th.
no patch,blogpost or anything.
Holy crap. After 5 years of watching Team Fabulous 2 i only just now thought of this.
So, if you haven't watched it: "Team Fabulous 2" is a 17 minute GMOD animation created by the late Kitty0706. Its about an Engineer who releases hell upon the world, and must stop it himself.
=SPOILERS INCOMING=
In this video, it's highlighted multiple times that this Engy sucks at guitar. He can only play a few notes at a time, and his guitar sounds out of tune. At the end of the video, when he an the Imp are about to have a showdown, he suddenly has amazing skill, and is able to summon a guitar out of thin air in order to destroy the moon and kill the Imp.
Colin (Kitty0706) was suffering from cancer at the time, and i think i've found a hidden meaning in the video.
The Engineer was able to pull a guitar out of thin air because he believed in himself, cause he had the courage to go up against all odds. Because of this, he was able to essentially remove all of the evil from the map. This could be Colins way of saying "If i believe, and if i try hard enough, i'll be able to defeat cancer, and rid my world of the evil that is cancer." There's even some meaning in the final "Guitar Lessons" scene. Here, we see the Engy teaching a Heavy how to play Guitar. Everyone boos the Heavy, but he pulls through and plays a song. This could be Colin demonstrating that he is inadvertently teaching everyone on youtube how to make GMod animations, and that if they believe, they can render even his own work obsolete.
This is just a theory, and i'd like to hear your thoughts on it.
R.I.P Kitty0706

If there's a max limit, it's not mentioned anywhere. There's no online service, but VTFEdit is the goto program for VTF creation. It has a max of 4096x4096. If you use VTEX, you can go even larger, but there's no UI for that.
why is everyone suddenly against an oct. 10th release? i mean, the update is definitely near, and it [I]has[/I] to release sometime soon, so the 10th seems like the perfect day.

The file size I'm referring to is TF2's max ingame spray size (512 kb). There is a particular website someone posted on the forums here that optimizes images of your choice to fit within that limit while minimizing quality loss. It also offered various dithering options and little tweaks of that nature.

People have been saying this for what, 4 months? Probably longer.
Honestly, having the update release this close to Halloween actually seems like an non-optimal time to do it. But it's not like that matters since valve Will just release it whenever they want to. Or they won't. Either way.
It's either going to be a 10th anniversary update on the 10th or the complete madmen in the tf team are actually going to bundle the jungle update with scream fortress, and I'm okay with that.

How do you pronounce the circle anyways? :mystery:

well, there's absolutely no way the halloween update will release before the pyro update with the team not saying a word about it.
i believe there's 3 possible outcomes here:
1- the update releases before halloween
2- the update releases with halloween
3- the update gets released after halloween, but they give us more information about why / what the current status is. as long as they give another, more in depth update, i wouldn't be all that mad.

uhhh... pretty sure you can say that with literally any arbitrary time period.
1. the update releases before my birthday next year
2. the update releases on my birthday next year
3. the update releases after my birthday next year
Just perma'd a regular who had 40+ days play time on my servers. I witnessed him getting banned for blatantly cheating on Grim Fortress an hour beforehand. Another server regular mentioned after the fact "Oh yeah, I knew he had NullCore but I didn't think he was using it." That sound you hear is me headdesking.

Cuphead is super fun, been playing that and I'm loving it.

i'm only using halloween as an example because they said the update would be out before then

People are broken at this point, the TF Team could release a countdown timer and people would still go "lmao its for the toth update to drop"
come on, it the 10th Anniversary on the 10th of the 10th month, ready for 10 times as much update content
Well, The Illusive Broker has spoken.
Break out the optimism crack boys, because soon(tm) is going to be awesome.

People aren't against the update coming out on that day, people are just against expecting an update on a certain day without evidence other than 'it feels right'.
On another note, I've reached the point where the update doesn't even feel real anymore, it's like some sort of myth.
I wish they did mega hat-dumps like the summer coolers a few odd years ago. Starting to not only feel starved for actual content, but cosmetic content as well. For a game lovingly referred to jokingly as "Hat Simulator", they are even skimping out on that aspect of the game.
