FAQ:
Q: How did you make that? What editing software do you use?
A: I use Adobe Photoshop, Premiere Pro & After Effects. Photoshop for image editing and thumbnails. Premiere Pro for compositing and After Effects for motion graphics (the fancy animations).

Original Video Title:
Feb 20th 2024: if this coconut picture gets deleted, tf2 stops working (jk, just a misconception being spread)
Feb 16th 2022: tf2 needs this magical coconut to function (jk, just a misconception being spread)
Aug 17th 2021: tf2's magical coconut that stops the game from crashing (jk, just a misconception being spread)

"A coconut holding the very fabric of TF2" sounds like something that would fit on the crazy lore of the game.

Top score in TF2 with all textures deleted challenge 2021

[iamsopmod]

deleting the coconut will be terrible for the economy

[red_ruby]

Conclusion: it's absolutely safe to remove coconut out of spaghetti.

[spyguy]

Tbh even though it’s not keeping the game from crashing, it’s still incredibly hilarious that the coconut texture is actually an image for an unused particle effect for one of the soldier’s taunts where it’s supposed to be *coffee beans*

It started out with that source code leak, where it turns out that Valve's programmers ARE very pottymouthed. So the idea that they typed "//I have no fucking idea who put this here" in there somewhere was very believable

[angelseat]

we are in the bad timeline where the coconut doesn’t actually hold together the fabric of reality 💔

[jacobford]

I fell for this. But as a CSC major it is entirely believable. Ive seen what sleep deprived classmates do when helping them debug and a nessesary coconut image wouldnt be the strangest thing.

Engie: Gaben, what did you put in my Coffee.
Gaben: I have put Coconuts it it.
Engie: What?
Gaben: You told me to, sir.
Engie: How much?
Gaben: I have done nothing but put Coconuts in for three days.

Valve can't count to 3 and don't know the difference between coconuts and coffee beans...

[LeninFN]

The coconut isn't essential but you know what is? The 2fort cow. The game will literally not function without it. God bless whatever valve dev decided to make that a thing cause it's fucking hilarious

[draxan]

I don't care. I love the thought that the only thing that holds TF2 together is an Image of a fucking coconut.

[lindholmaren]

Damn
A couple of weeks ago I was hanging out with some friends and cast one of your videos to the TV for some interesting background noise and we started discussing the sheer spaghettiness of source, and at some point I mentioned the mythical coconut that may or may not cause the game to crash, and we came to the conclusion that "even if it's not real, the thought that it seems to be 'on brand' is enough to be worrying"

On another note, I think the fact I can recognize what map he's playing on without any textures is a testament to how great TF2's map design is.

[undead_inside]

shounic: "Literally unplayable"
TF2: Literally playable

[AgsmaJustAgsma]

So Valve doesn't tell the difference between a coffee bean and a coconut? That raises even more questions!

[krycerkris]

a full unedited quote at the end of the video???? shounic are you ok

I’m the dude who’s silly Reddit comment got taken as a dev note and this was the craziest shit I’ve ever been through on the internet
