Okay okay okay... I will admit to being the biggest and most active hacker of 2023  *AND*  2024.  :-)

Thomas Lang drum solo.  At around 2:05 he becomes super human. He also does a great impression of Arnold in another video.

Side note: for my birthday my girlfriend bought me time in a drum studio to play on a great Yamaha drumkit!

It seems that a lot of players are caretakers or rideshare drivers.

and BTW why is tltf STILL in my map?

Because some people like playing it? It's like music and songs - some people love a certain song, some people hate that same song.

tltf.bsp is clearly a long range rail-heavy map, favoring lower latency players. Higher latency players are going to be disadvantaged. 

Now hang on I have to go cruise around town in my rideshare car, playing music that some will like and others will not like.

(btw I agree with you on the dm5 player number skip)

Nice harmonies here. Classy swing-era music.  At 0:48 or so it gets going a bit.

About 60 to 70 people were there, eight speeches or so. Sad stuff. These mourners did not even know these two nurses.

You know that cl_noskins method means seeing nothing BUT grunts right?

I should have said the other method that really works for me, which I have used forever after nuking all custom skins. I never download or see a custom skin, but I do see male, female, and cyborg skins.

Code: [Select]

set allow_download_players "0"
Put that line in baseq2/autoexec.cfg  or however you auto run your config file.

Great guitar sustain at 2:10, and reverse high hat audio starting there. Great bass sound too.

At 5:53 starts a short bolero movement, followed by vocals by the actual writer of this song.
