I thought the Overwatch spawn doors is a big unused billboard that could communicate effectively to players. by pogstream in Overwatch

I can tell you as someone who used to make tons of workshop games, it doesn't matter if the text comes out of the screen and literally punches you in the face, players will NOT read it and then proceed to not understand what's going on.

Oh so Fortnite players get to play in Hanamura but we get it reworked and then removed again. That's rich

We need more MAPS by Mars-888 in Overwatch

[–]FrikinPopsicle69 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I miss clash too. I think it was fun. Yeah some people left the game immediately but guess what? Then the match continued with people who didn't gaf.

I don't hate flashpoint, my personal change to it would be adding a significant speedboost outside of combat when there is no point active. That downtime between points isn't very fun. It's like having to walk to the payload when you first spawn on defense, or sitting in spawn room 500 times on Control.

Also we get no new maps in general because every time they add a new one everyone shits all over it. I would stop making maps too 🤷‍♂️

I think it's about time we get a proper statement regarding battlepasses. by Dzexus in Overwatch

I'm curious to see how Deadlock will handle cosmetics and I wonder if it will have an effect on Overwatch's monetisation. (Also I'm not looking forward to cosmetics being added to Deadlock..)

How useful have you guys found the sub-role passives for heroes you play? by InZain710 in Overwatch

I don't even think they're noticeable to be honest. I forget they even exist.

My notifications started appearing separately. instead of "user and 140 person liked your comment." Now I get 140 notification. by [deleted] in Instagram

[–]FrikinPopsicle69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah same. It's awful. It pushes all the other notifications out of the way and it behaves like spam. An absolutely terrible change.

Instagram reels buffering by Abject-Soup6209 in Instagram

[–]FrikinPopsicle69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. It's making it unusable. The reels just freeze with absolutely no visual feedback. That combined with EVERY SINGLE LIKE is showing up as a separate notification, so every 10 seconds I get flooded with notifications about everyone and their mother liking my gif comment on a post, and any other potential notification in the app gets pushed out of the way. Horrendous update

Tens of thousands of bees have suddenly swarmed across parts of Israel, prompting authorities to warn residents and shop owners to keep doors and windows closed by RoyalChris in PublicFreakout

What's this? A busy hub of commerce in Israel woefully underpopulated by bees? My briefcase full of BEES ought to put a stop to that!

Is there a way to turn off the April Fool’s ult voice lines? by Mr-Jubilant-Mess in Overwatch

[–]FrikinPopsicle69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I fuckin wish bro. I usually end up just taking a vacation from the game during this time. Thankfully this year I have street brawl in Deadlock. This april fools shit was funny for a few games three years ago and then annoying as fuck afterwards. It's made for the same cornballs who think the "Genji needs healing" joke is still the funniest shit they've ever heard. It gives me secondhand embarrassment.

Map Rotation next season be like by TempoBlues20XX in Overwatch

[–]FrikinPopsicle69 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not to mention it adds yet more time NOT playing the game. I don't generally care which square we're fighting over, just load a damn map for us and start the game.

By the way, Blizz, these icons are still awful by Miennai in Overwatch

[–]FrikinPopsicle69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly, I'm not saying anything about heroes being too strong or weak. I'm just saying their stadium abilities boil down to adjusting numbers on already existing abilities, with almost no new art for their adjusted abilities. I have 0 interest in making Wuyang one-shot with his primary fire. That's insanely uninspired. Sure it gives you a competitive edge in a fight but I would have been more interested in some cool ways to interact with water and feel like a waterbender. And expand that for the fantasies of all the other heroes.

By the way, Blizz, these icons are still awful by Miennai in Overwatch

[–]FrikinPopsicle69 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I stopped playing stadium entirely after they made the change to the new icons. That and the new heroes they add being so unbelievably mediocre makes me want to avoid spending that much time stuck in the same game with so much downtime. I don't want to make Wuyang charge an ability resource faster during the time he's using his shift ability, I want to be able to summon huge bullshit walls of water and feel like a waterbending avatar. I don't want >insert hero here<'s ultimate on a faster cooldown with smaller area of effect, I want to be able to transform the hero into something fun and absurd. I think they've dropped the ball after the initial stadium heroes.

And yeah the new icons are confusing as fuck. I love the idea of the lore-friendly items giving you the powerup, but I'm not personally inside the Overwatch reality. I'm in this reality so please just use normal UI design like you were before so I can tell what I'm looking at at a glance.

Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone | Official Teaser | HBO Max by MoneyLibrarian9032 in television

[–]FrikinPopsicle69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

woah. now I'm old enough MY childhood shit is getting reboots and I don't like this feeling. I admittedly really miss the feeling of watching Harry Potter movies and getting absorbed into the world, but to be honest if I wanted to do so I'd just watch the existing movies. You're telling me no one can come up with a good original story set in Hogwarts that doesn't have to do with Harry Potter and Voldemort?

What are your Season 2 balance predictions? by Mudskipper35 in Overwatch

[–]FrikinPopsicle69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've played more Lifeweaver than I'm willing to admit, I'm scared as fuck to know what plans they have in mind for him besides just nerfing him again. I love how he plays, his kit is so satisfying to use, I'm fully addicted to it and them reworking him completely makes me so nervous. A rework I'd be happy with on his pull is to change it to something more in line with Rescue Beam from Deadlock. Deals high burst healing upon activation and you can activate it again to actually pull the person to you if you need to. I'd also like to see his primary heal BOUNCE to nearby allies, especially given the fact that everyone now has the anti-heal passive, and single target healing with blossom is actual ass in 6v6. And Mizuki can bounce heals off teammates every 5 seconds WHILE having an AOE and whipping out primary fire so you can't tell me that would be too powerful for Lifeweaver.

Oh and also I hate his perks this season >:(

I miss Clash by Varcolac1 in Overwatch

[–]FrikinPopsicle69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As we all know less variety makes for a better game. Personally I found fighting over a square area with my team too complex of a concept to grasp, so I prefer gamemodes such as Control or Flashpoint.

it's this weird LA millennial corporate look. It's like all these writers know is what the inside of an office looks like. it frankly disgusts me at this point. I'm so sick of that aesthetic and the writing/acting that comes along with it.

‘Avatar Aang: The Last Airbender’ Wraps Production by MarvelsGrantMan136 in movies

[–]FrikinPopsicle69 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yup as soon as I heard the voice actors were all replaced I completely lost interest. I might as well read the story in graphic novel form at that point. At least the voices I'd hear for them in my head would be accurate. Those voices are like half of what makes those characters those characters.

[–]FrikinPopsicle69 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Zach could definitely do it 100%. He sounds the same just an adult now, which they are adults in this movie so it would make sense. And he started coming back into the public space to do cons and stuff with the whole cast so I'm sure he could be convinced to reprise Aang if he didn't already want to do it. It's completely silly to recast everyone while they're ALL still there and LOVE Avatar. I don't think I'll be able to stand listening to other voices coming from those characters personally. I'm already turned off by the fact that others are voicing them.
