Friends, I'm making the ultimate sacrifice.
If you are a TF2 Player/Content Creator, we need your support, let me explain:
TF2 has been overrun by AI-controlled bots for over five years. These bots, operated by individuals known as "bot hosters," use aimbots and other cheats, disrupting the gameplay experience for human players, especially deterring new players from the game.
The situation got worse,
Despite a promise from Valve in 2021 to fix
the crisis after the massive “SaveTF2” movement, nothing has been done to fix the problem, and due to said neglect from Valve, these Bot hosters abuse the game to harass other players. In some cases, they even Doxxed and Swatted players who went against them to stop the crisis.
Forms of harassment:
- Impersonation of Popular TF2 Content Creators
- AI Voices
- Direct Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks
- Faking Screenshots and blaming innocent third parties
- Stream Sniping: Stream Sniping is the act of hijacking or derailing another user's live stream to either prevent them from completing a task or simply harass that user.
- Doxxing: Exposing Sensitive information to other players.
- Swatting: the practice of unlawfully prank-calling or alerting the police to maliciously
dispatch officers to a certain location. This is INCREDIBLY Illegal.
These listed things are one of the many ways bots harass others.
As a TF2 Player of 10 years:
ENOUGH. IS. ENOUGH.
I personally have never dealt with these bots, but it's extremely vile and evil to prevent players from enjoying a classic FPS and for new players wanting to be part of a dedicated community.
How can you help?
1. Youtuber TheWhat Show uploaded a video on the crisis. Watch it if you need more info. https://youtu.be/hBYvrroug2I?si=3dajT...
2. Sign the #SaveTF2 Petition at save.tf; this petition will be hard-printed and delivered to Valve at a later date.
3. Boycott Microtransactions. This coming summer update will bring more items to the shop.
4. Avoid playing on TF2's dedicated casual servers; stick to community servers, MVM, and offline practice.
5. Leave a review on Steam expressing your concerns
6. Spread the Word and get the message out to everyone.
Together, we will bring down these bots and retake TF2 Casual Servers.
Stay safe, friends.

Hey Everyone, Sora Here!
Recording for seasons 1 and 2 of the podcast have just wrapped and have entered the editing phase, here is a timeline for what's planned for next season:
One is that I will be separating the two Campaigns into their own podcasts. I feel like it was just the right idea to split them apart. Which leads to my announcement of the new NDHL podcast called "Dice-Off: A DND Hockey Podcast"
Second, you're wondering why I haven't updated the podcast yet. I made the ultimate decision to hold off on editing the podcast until the summer.
Third is a planned rebranding of the Channel, it's not set in stone yet.
This podcast at first was just a project for my class, but it now became my passion project, and I'm looking forward to seeing this go far.
That's all from me, see you in Season 3!
Finish this quote:
Women are from Mars and Men are from Venus...
Happy Sunday Folks!
Due to my Laziness ACEO episodes will be pushed back for a later date
And I will not be doing Stardew on the Monday of Halloween, my college is doing a dance.
That's all for now, Stay toony!
I'm Sora (Real name: Radek Dvorak), also known as The Autistic Keyblade Wielder. And welcome to the channel! If you are a first-timer, look at some of the chaos I have done in the past. I will upload mostly gaming content, specifically DND-based, through my upcoming Blockbuster Brawls and Dicey Calls: Not a High Fantasy DND Podcast. The podcast where DND steps out of the fantasy world and into the modern world with two different campaigns, one involving the Video rental chain Blockbuster and the other involving Hockey for some reason.
