>>19049089those super neon flames and edgy tryhard horns or spheres or whatever and stuff are really lame and uninspiring that's true but i can understand why people would also wear the shitty hats with shitty effects because that's also in a way unique and comic and i'd myself rather choose a very quirky and memorable silly hat and unusual effect combination than some generic cool hat with some generic cool neon particular effect, shitty items are the sovl of tf2 and when they're being combined with shitty particle effects it's like double sovl and the pure concentrated essence of tf2's wackyness and frivolity
