automattable @lemmy.world Hi, elder millennial here that’s starting to lose it. Is the joke here that they did do all these things back in 2006 or whenever tf2 came out?

Pretty much yes. The only one I'm not 100% on (besides the scout skin, since that was after I stopped playing) is the engineer prosthetic. I feel like that weapon came out a while after TF2 was made (but I can't check that right now so don't take my word for it).

Jarate and heavy x medic were after release too afaik.
Heavy x medic was kinda obvious, but iirc valve didn't start dropping stronger hints until the past few years. Dunno if they've straight-up confirmed it yet or not; it's also been a while since I last played.
Jarate was part of the sniper update, which I thought came after release (because iirc there weren't any alternate items in the original release).

One of the Engineer's unlockable weapons is the Gunslinger which is a prosthetic hand. It also is (or was) commonly regarded as OP since it replaced the turret with a fast self-building mini-turret that was a pain to keep destroyed (Engie would toss out another one).

I legitimately don't think they could get away with releasing TF2 today.

Have you ever played TF2? The content is definitely something that modern journalism would use to stir folks up if it was released in these times.
It's purposely rude and often uses stereotypes, but the point is that it's supposed to be cartoonishly ridiculous in its character depictions.
