A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted, clever little truths, hidden in daily life.
Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts: 1
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- No politics
- If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
- A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
- If you feel strongly that you want politics back, please volunteer as a mod.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct
If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.
Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report the message goes away and you never worry about it.

Team Fortress is built off the idea that no class can't do something, some just do it way better.
Team Fortress ain't perfectly balanced and thoroughly thought out though. It's just a fun meaty shooter, that's it, and it's alright :)
Oh no it is very ballanced.
if you use 6s rules
Casual is more balanced actually
Huh?
Casual is more balanced due to the amount of people. It's more viable to play other classes.
That's not really any sane definition of balanced.
In that sense Highlander would be the most balanced because every class is always played.
Literally every single multiplayer game is like that.
"Overwatch is only balanced if every character can be played at once"
???
Oh fuck I missed the second sentence.
Every multiplayer game which has a higher player cap is more balanced towards that player cap.
Spy is nearly useless in 6s. In casual, he's more effective.
The spy is only more effective in casual because the average player is a roblox child.
Spy is also a niche pick in 6s because it's a niche character that is supposed to do a niche job, so it's not great to use it if that job isn't relevant.
Though, sniper is always a better pick provided you have a set of hands, even in casual.
Edit: not to mention that high player count and no class limits also just break the game generally. The only reason you don't get rolled by class stacking that often is that people don't feel like doing it or (more commonly) are too bad at the game.
true. It's hard against experienced players because it's a weak class, but you can still be effective.
The whole idea of different kits in a shooter already precludes balance though. That's an accepted loss for more enjoyable gameplay.
