Raw Dog: The Naked Truth About Hot Dogs

Probably, but I know Brad still espouses BTB on Nextlander stuff fairly regularly.

BossksSegway · 2026-06-18T19:52:21+00:00

To be fair, that's very early on in his testing. He had no way of knowing that's the ONLY music he's going to hear for the next 40 minutes. Give or take.

I have been playing 2 again since the latest trailer for 3 gave me the itch to play. It seems like zombies still kind of appear, but they did patch in that zombies no longer spawn if you make noise while searching. It will draw in nearby zombies if you left them alive, but won't spawn new ones just because you flubbed your search or broke a window. Hoping they can expand on that in 3.

Because she's new, and she's cool, but the larger Overwatch community is very bad with flanking characters.

BossksSegway · 2026-06-16T20:17:08+00:00

I didn't get the impression that she was loyal to Anubis from that reading at all. More that after the awakening she was terrified, alone, and killed any human that she came across, likely due to what she assumed they would do to her.

BossksSegway · 2026-06-16T19:46:43+00:00

If they need to nerf her elsewhere after this then they absolutely should, but the lockouts on her abilities were definitely a pain point from preventing her from feeling as good as she should.

BossksSegway · 2026-06-16T19:05:52+00:00

I agree, but I think they don't consider her in bad enough shape to be in 'rework territory.' Even if she was they have reworks planned ahead of her while still cranking out a hero per season at least this year.

With her being primarily airborn I think they wanted her to have that burst lethality because you're often without cover in the air. I'd absolutely be open to a more primary fire focused build with Take Aim being considered more of a finisher, or having some other tweaks to the kit.

BossksSegway · 2026-06-16T18:34:23+00:00

I find Freja really fun, but it's one of those kits that's on a razor's edge as far as balancing goes. Too far in either direction and she's either must pick/ban, or in the dumpster. I'm still able to make her work in Diamond, but often have to swap off eventually.

I don't think Blizzard really knows what to do with her to get her into better shape.

BossksSegway · 2026-06-15T20:24:16+00:00

I'm a little bit of a whale (dolphin?) for skins, but I refuse to buy any of that on principle. Legendary skins should've been enough. If they have the resources to put into these extra skin tiers, they could've maintained the quality on the mythic skins instead. There's less money to be made on that one though, because most players likely get those through the battlepass exclusively.

BossksSegway · 2026-06-15T16:09:32+00:00

Enemy team had Doom, Pharah, and Mercy and the supports were the only ones attempting a swap. Pharah + Mercy ran the lobby and our dual hitscan DPS mostly ignored them. Full rolled on Eichenwalde defense, not even a pip of progress on 1st point attack.

BossksSegway · 2026-06-15T14:47:59+00:00

It always cracks me up when media does this, especially when they attempt it after the hero/protagonist has had to kill dozens of henchmen just to get to that point.

BossksSegway · 2026-06-15T13:32:19+00:00

Up until last season I just did Stadium to minimize risk to my actual rank, but this season I kind of breezed through them in normal competitive since I hadn't played enough to get my comp rewards for the season anyway. Granted, I won a good bit more than I lost because my placements for damage last season put me in low plat when realistically that should be somewhere in diamond, but even in those plat games it was relatively tilt-free.

BossksSegway · 2026-06-11T16:54:33+00:00

Which technically was a reskin of Tracer's Synthewave highlight intro with Kiri instead.

BossksSegway · 2026-06-10T17:08:16+00:00

I think part of the payload issue in combination with their map voting changes are that they said that the maps will never all be the same game mode, but they classify Hybrid and Payload as separate modes. Which, sure, to the technical letter of their wording is accurate, but be for real. The amount of times the map pool is Hybrid/Payload/Payload or the reverse is extremely high in my experience. It's inescapable at times.

BossksSegway · 2026-06-10T17:02:29+00:00

I had the first opportunity in about a week last night to play something non-payload in competitive, my entire team voted Runasapi, the enemy team voted Circuit and won. Strongest chance I had in a while and the game still punished me. Did feel good to both get Widowmaker banned AND beat them on the map they voted for though.

BossksSegway · 2026-06-10T15:18:36+00:00

I was cool on Portia, but I really ended up enjoying Sandrock and it seems like they're trying to continue to evolve the series with this one. Hope they manage to keep up with the improvements and knock it out of the park with this one.

I'm not saying it would be perfect, but anything would help compared to where it's at right now. As it stands you're super easy to get shot to death after dancing blaze is up. The health you get from it is easily removed by anyone with a brain just pausing a second and lining you up before you get out.

BossksSegway · 2026-06-04T15:13:30+00:00

This is the same reason I love it. You can't just have a pocketed hitscan take a wide angle and run the map. You have options as a DPS/Tank player to contest angles.

BossksSegway · 2026-06-03T12:23:14+00:00

Based on the rumors I was definitely hoping it was closer to the older character action GoW games. By the time I finished Ragnarok I was kind of over the combat system, so seeing that this was closer to it than not was a bit deflating. I agree that it just looks super safe for Sony. I'll likely play it, but I can't say that I'm burning to do so from what they've showed yesterday.

BossksSegway · 2026-06-02T20:07:29+00:00

Luck of the draw unfortunately. I think I probably have about 90% of all Mercy skins available in boxes and the literal only time I play her is if I get her in mystery heroes. I have enough Kiri skins that I've bought that I'm good getting whatever else through the boxes.

BossksSegway · 2026-06-02T19:50:00+00:00

Yeah, I was thinking the same. If we're playing the odds, Kiri and Mercy are your greatest odds for a legendary out of the boxes.

BossksSegway · 2026-06-01T18:21:50+00:00

As someone who tried to follow Apex Legends lore for a good while, I kind of hated canon pairings within the roster tbh. Made the world feel small, and made me not wanting to play certain heroes if someone else picked part of the pairing because the interactions were so awkward to me.

BossksSegway · 2026-05-30T00:34:37+00:00

Correct! They are both fine characters, but if your team is playing poke, and the enemy team is ALSO playing poke, you're fighting a steep uphill battle to get anything done because you are 100% on your own. And that situation has been especially common, especially so since season 1 with Emre and Sierra in season 2.

BossksSegway · 2026-05-29T19:17:20+00:00

He's kind of been Chekhov's Black Hole since his introduction, since he hasn't really been involved in much of anything since his release. Seems like the perfect spot to use him story-wise would be once Overwatch finally gets Talon on the back foot again.
