Description
The glowing energy balls in the Disco Beat Down unusual effect appear to grow in size when viewed from larger distances, seemingly defying the rules of perspective.
The source of the issue (which is also present in several Professional Killstreak effects) is the "particle_glow_05.vmt" material.

I have attached an updated version of particle_glow_05.vmt with the following change:
- The $minsize parameter has been removed
- This parameter caps the minimum size of the glow particles, causing them to often appear abnormally large
- Removing $minsize allows the particles to shrink at farther distances as expected
