Team Fortress 2
- Looks like Valve is working on a 64bit and Vulkan upgrade to TF2's linux client
For those unaware, the linux version of TF2 is still 32bit, and runs on ToGL - a DirectX to OpenGL translation layer.
A few days ago, Valve published a TF2 private branch called "x64_linux_test": https://steamdb.info/changelist/21975149/
Then a few hours ago, Valve update TF2's "App Config" to include references to x64 Vulkan TF2: https://steamdb.info/changelist/22010846/
Looks like it's coming soon, in theory should bring some nice performance improvements. But "soon" in Valve Time is... who knows
- Is anyone having issues with the item servers?
Not currently playing tf2, but I saw people on reddit complaining about the item server being down for extended periods of time, I just want to see the extent of the issue.

Video demonstration: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oKsWH_-neKU
Really like this one, as it's A) actually a "taunt" taunt, where you're making fun of the guy you just killed, and B) both Halloween themed and all-year-round Medic themed.
