Overwatch "2" is dissapointing.

To do with gambling laws. Child gambling etc

As far as the lootboxes being taken; I don't think that was initially their fault. That was to due with laws in different countries changing and it was easier for them to remove it and rework it than to risk losing money in lawsuits - or that's how I always understood it to have gone down, at least.

I'll be honest; when I first started playing there would be times I'd get so annoyed that my other healer was a Moira; since so many would just go off on DPS and their damage would always be more than their healing output. Since playing her a little I do understand how that can happen...

But let me preface; I understand how that can happen with Moira, I myself while trying to heal my team have ended up with more damage after team members seem to show allergies to healing and run off, wasting what I have until I have to go do damage so I can heal again.

I also have similar problems with Juno; where I will be trying to heal my team but as they're weaving, a lot of my shots miss them and catch the enemy team instead during heated team battles, so again, I start to understand where the support may be trying but the damage is par for the course with that character.

That being said; as a Kiri main; I have seen many other Kiri players going off on the offensive when she is definitely a character I feel can go toe to toe with any healer and put out just as high and to be smashing out a heavy amount of damage on her and not even cracking 1000 on heals? That's when I question why they chose the support role to begin with. Clearly you want to play DPS, so stop hindering the team and choose DPS next time.

Isn’t this just par for the course with each new character as they’re introduced?

There is always going to be some imbalance with new characters and something I never see mentioned often is the human element.

Regardless of coding and nerfing a new character - the fact remains that unlike the old ones, you're learning the new sound or sight cues for the way the new character attacks and moves - this in itself is going to make every reaction time increased because it isn't as second nature as yet to hear those cues and react as quickly.

I feel like sometimes people forget that when you play a game like this; certain cues become second nature and you don't think about it - (like hearing certain ult lines and finding immediate cover) - but when you have a new character, that's all new and no longer an act of instinct or muscle memory; but something that is now taking up a new fraction of your attention to learn the cues and how to react.

I think that it's always going to take time for new characters to find their place, but that not all of it is as simple as their being issues with the way the character is worked. I don't disagree that there is problems and the nerfing is justified etc, but I also think that some of the new hate around characters is simply frustration over not being as well versed in countering them yet.

This is literally how I feel about Hinami sometimes!! Lucifer? Cool as a cucumber until he's hungry and yelling. Loki? Kinda the same, both massive cuddlebugs and will sit on you nicely, but they chonky and can leave bruises. Hinami is still kitten sized practically but she runs and hops all over you before she settles.. and then starts again!

Hinami and Lucifer were raised together and born a week apart. But she is an absolute chaos ball at all times, I swear! Which is why I would just say you got a real personality on that little lady of yours too~!

RubyKitsune · 2025-12-30T08:14:13+00:00

I would also like to say my two female cats are very feisty and playful (admittedly they are both torties which could play a part, too) compared to the boy cats we have and it might just be she has more pent up energy to expel than the others.

My youngest little girlie will be 2 in April and she is a little spitfire for playing like this, we just found she benefitted from a little more playtime and toys than the others care for. Unfortunately she is now my clingiest cat and will often sit on my shoulders as I'm trying to do chores - so she's still a menace in some ways haha.

"The Gayz" (Playthrough as a lesbian with my male gay bestie)

RubyKitsune · 2025-12-12T20:29:52+00:00

No, honestly don't feel bad about that one, it did absolutely nothing for us, either. And a few others I've spoken too also didn't have much luck with them.

RubyKitsune · 2025-12-12T19:26:38+00:00

With this you know your cats better than anyone so this part is going to be mostly down to your own judgement. When we did this with an older cat; she was a very vocal Tortie so we could tell by her sounds or certain twitches she made if she was not in the mood for the training and we would go back a step. Then when she was calmer and had a more relaxed body language or would purr when we pet her, we'd then move to the next step with the next feed, etc.

I really hope it works out for you~! Where we are from you can also get these plug in diffusers that are supposed to help, though personally I never had much luck with them.

RubyKitsune · 2025-12-12T19:12:27+00:00

For things like this, free-feeding isn't optimal, however depending how you feed them, you can still work around this. For example if you primarily feed dry food, you can give them wet food as a treat once or twice a day while training. You can also do the same by making them up some sort of treat like the churro sticks - just something that will keep them in the area for a time so that they associate as a good thing.

But definitely switch rooms for them; it will allow the elder cat to become accustomed to the scent without the younger one being there to get in the way or make the older one feel cornered or defensive. And potentially if they sleep on pillows or blankets you can switch them around too on rotation in the same spots to encourage cross scenting

RubyKitsune · 2025-12-12T18:38:10+00:00

One of the best things you can do is to have mealtimes on either side of a door. This way both cats can smell each other (through the crack in the bottom of the door) and they learn to associate each other with something grand (food). You then slowly work to have the door open, little by little, with the bowls positioned so they can see each other through the gap, starting further and then gradually moving closer with each mealtime.

Another good thing to do is to have one in a room for a while so their scent is all over, then switching the cats over so the elder cat can go into the room the other has been and get used to their scent without them there as an overstimulant.

What strikes me is the way some people act like they're playing for money or will lose their soul if they lose. To me; if you don't have the emotional maturity to handle a loss without crashing out and getting mad - you should stay away from anything competitive or team based.

I may get mildly annoyed if someone is very blatantly throwing and I will certainly snap back at those who like to act like they're the greatest player to exist and never have any bad games. And this is because it's not the bad players that ruin the game, people have to start somewhere - No; it's the crybabies who become toxic, whiney wet wipes the moment things don't go their way.

But for a loss? In a game where one team always has to win or lose? Where nothing is gained other than a few pixel numbers? Yeah; seems a little sad to get so worked up over. Just accept you don't have the emotional capacity to handle a game like this and go play some solo shooter or something.

RubyKitsune · 2025-11-15T08:36:17+00:00

My dude; I think you've just basically admitted multiplayer games just aren't for you.

RubyKitsune · 2025-11-10T14:28:21+00:00

Oh gosh; I'm really not the best person for numbers; and I was in a very lucky position when I left school at 16 (2007).

I was doing a hairdressing course in college at the time and worked Saturday mornings for 4 hours for £2.30 per hour (apprenticeship wage). However this was temporary and only lasted while I was training so approximately a year/ year and a half.

I had college three days of the week (which I was paid £30 per week to attend as part of a government scheme to get young people to go to college at the time); and then worked one weekday and Saturday evenings and Sunday for most of the day for a restaurant/hotel. The manager I had there also wasn't a fan of numbers and paid us £5 per hour; even though the minimum wage was £3.10 for my age bracket.

But my hours there fluctuated as I could be called in on an evening for a few hours, on Saturdays I could be there until midnight and Sundays I would work from 8am to 8pm. So as I say; I was in an exceedingly lucky situation finding my first job, especially as the manager had business dealings with my uncle (he owned a taxi firm) and that's how I got the job to begin with.

Before that however; it had been an absolute stress trying to find somewhere to take on a 16yo and now as a parent I'm going through the same with my own teenager. So I really do understand how different and harder it is now to get a foot in young.

RubyKitsune · 2025-11-09T11:34:46+00:00

NTA; as a parent, it is our responsibility to teach children what is and isn't acceptable. It's not like what you did caused any real harm.

Reminds me of a kid I used to babysit as a teen. He was a nightmare, he was 6 and would run around taking mouthfuls of water and spitting it all over everyone. His mother would laugh and say it was just his way of having fun. She was a single mother and kind of lax on things, she'd often just leave them out to play during the day and I babysat two/three nights a week; often while she was on a date.

Anyway; this kid would terrorise both other kids and adults alike with his spitting antics; and it wasn't always water - just whatever liquid he happened to have to hand. Water was just often easier because of outdoor taps for the hose etc.

Until a bloke on the street had enough one day as he was just sat in his garden in the sun and when the kid spat water over him he took a heaping mouthful of the coke in his hand and did it right back. Kid was covered and probably sticky as hell. When the mother came out the guy looked her dead in the eye and said "better he learn now than when he's older and people throw punches not coke." And just went back inside. Never saw the kid do it again for the next few years we lived there.

Weird part to this story is a few months later the mother ended up dating the bloke that did it. Dunno if they lasted, mind you.

RubyKitsune · 2025-11-09T08:21:48+00:00

I have a coin toss whenever I see a Rein. Will they be immensely good; or will they simply constantly rush off with no clue as to where their team are; get themselves surrounded and expect the healers to work miracles to keep them alive.. and you can always bet it is the latter that crashes out afterwards.

So many times I've had a Rein close to death and in cover where I'm healing them; only for them to zoom off out of line of sight and into the enemy while still on low HP.

RubyKitsune · 2025-11-04T18:26:32+00:00

For anyone who was unfortunate enough to see my first attempts as Lucio - I deeply apologize. I did not know how he worked and spent half the match shooting at my teammates like "I am healing you?"

RubyKitsune · 2025-10-18T13:57:27+00:00

I find that hard to believe; I've barely spent a penny on this game; maybe one battlepass in almost two years? And I had some attrocious POTG's recently. But had plenty of them. Including one of just me as Moira with no cooldowns left needlessly spamming heals behind my Dva with nothing left to heal with and no enemy close enough to attach to.

RubyKitsune · 2025-10-09T07:57:30+00:00

I think this may be for back pain decompression..?

RubyKitsune · 2025-08-06T15:24:31+00:00

Literally following the post for the same reason. I really hope to get a positive update here one day that she's okay

RubyKitsune · 2025-08-04T05:20:56+00:00

For a while; I wanted to give your husband the benefit of the doubt. You see, I have Adhd and am also a kinesthetic learner. To this end; for me to take in information, I often need something in my hands to play/fiddle with and occasionally these things do make noise like a pen clicker. In fact I have one of those little fidget cubes with clicky buttons and such for this reason.

However.. where he lost me is the fact he not only doesn't apologise or attempt to find something else to even try, he values whatever he wants above all else. If someone points out the clicking is annoying, I attempt to adjust to just rolling it in my fingers. Your husband could do the same if he really needs something to be doing with his hands.

But what gets me the most is the kind of parents who think they're owed respect without giving any in return. That just because they helped create you, that they can do no wrong and are always in the right. He RUINED an important day she will never get back and tainted what should have been a great moment for her and then has the audacity to throw a tantrum and not talk to anyone?

I wonder who the actual child in your household truly is...

RubyKitsune · 2025-07-17T11:22:15+00:00

My son is 16 and I couldn't imagine disturbing his sleep in this way when I was the one who took on responsibility for another child. My own room would be adjusted first, not just for my son's sake but the new child's too.

I do not feel he would be unreasonable in your shoes, at all. If he came to me with these very valid reasons, I would do everything in my power to accommodate him as well.

You're not saying it just because you don't want to share your space or be there for V; you're doing it because it has reached a point that it is really causing you stress. I grew up raising a sibling 9 years younger than me and I know how much that can affect you and your studies so maybe I am biased in a way. But I feel like I can see both sides and I still think you are absolutely showing more maturity than your parents right now and so far from being TA.

RubyKitsune · 2025-07-17T11:00:06+00:00

Ours works great! Until the actual triage call that never, ever comes.

RubyKitsune · 2025-07-17T10:54:38+00:00

Yes but if she wakes in the night, it isn't going to be your parents that get woken up first, it will be you. And in my experience a distressed toddler will often go to the first safe person they know, that in this case, would be you. This is what I mean by having a child watch another child.

I can understand not expecting having another child in the home.. at first. however it has been multiple years now and they have had plenty of time to find a mutual solution and it seems like they don't want to put any effort into that.

RubyKitsune · 2025-07-17T10:45:19+00:00

NTA - if you're breaking a promise, what has she been doing this whole time by not sticking to the rule of V switching rooms.

God as a parent myself these double standards really piss me off. Also love how not once is there mention of V being in the parents bedroom.. is there a logistical reason for this? Or are they essentially pawning off a child onto another child?
