      I love TF2 but haven’t played it for a while. Is it still holding up? I heard there are a lot of bots now :/

        Valve finally got off of their ass last year and fixed a ton of crap and pretty much banned all of them. Haven’t seen any since.

        They also open sourced the SDK so most of the updates include a ton of community bug fixes

    Not sure if this qualifies but I always liked the countryness of “so stupid they couldn’t pour piss out of a boot if the instructions were written on the heel”.

    Two I like from history:

    A lady called Winston Churchill drunk. Churchill replied: “Madam, I may be drunk, but you are ugly. I shall be sober in the morning.”

    Robert Muldoon, Prime Minister of New Zealand, when asked about the migration of NZers to Australia replied “Well, it raises the IQ of both countries.”

    “The young gentleman is an excellent ration powered space heater.”

    Heard this back in basic for a young officer cadet who was absolutely useless aside from the fact that they were capable of heating up a ten person tent via their normal body heat.

    To a performer: “Every time you perform is better than the next.”

    To anyone: “I find you argumentative and easily offended.”

    Best part of an insult is heading off the retort.

      ‘you’re not like other people are you?’

      I don’t find this one inherently insulting. I’d probably say thanks.

        It’s all in the delivery, there needs to be a level of sustain, disgust or confusion in the last part.

    Two more I’ve heard over the years:

    ‘You should carry around a potted plant to replace the oxygen you’re wasting’

    And:

    ‘Your head is really just a place to store your teeth isn’t it?
