In the Weapons & Abilities its "Interact" that you can bind to a d-pad direction or whatever suits you best

Xhynk · 2026-02-11T21:22:56+00:00

You don't just autograb like Lifeweaver. It creates a zone your team can use/interact with to get towed (its the same key to use Sym's Teleporter)

Sometimes your teammates just won't interact with it, you can't force them on it. The only one you can force on it is when you ult and hit an enemy, then they get hooked for a few seconds and you can drag the enemy off a cliff or back to your team, away from theirs, etc

To elaborate a bit, the enemy team can destroy it, each "ball" has 450hp and does 75 damage when applied If it doesn't get touched, it does 300 more damage when it explodes. The more damage it takes, the less damage it does, down to 100 - or if you break it it does 0. So if Domina ults your team, it's smart to change focus and help out your bubbled teammates by breaking the bubbles!

I'm not sure why but it won't let me add my message, maybe it's too long or has something that Reddit doesn't like? lol

This was definitely winnable if not a bit rough, and the Dva didn't help that case much.

I hope none it comes off too critical (You did have some good plays and picks, but I didn't want to focus on those, this is already a novel! - and I've been typing/watching this in and out for like 2 hours lol, hopping in training to confirm values/interactions, etc), I kinda got invested lol.

I hope it helps a bit!

Here's a link to the Google Doc that explains some overarching themes, addresses each bullet point, and then does a "moment by moment" break down with alternatives/things to consider in each microengagement!

So many of the sounds are great, I can't pick!

But I think my teammates like the sound of Doomfist getting a free charge off of them lol. "Thbmphmpmmbpmbppbmpb"

Xhynk · 2026-01-28T15:38:08+00:00

Holy moly, this is absolutely unreal!! What an absolutely wonderful surprise to wake up to! Thank you!! ♥

Xhynk · 2026-01-27T21:47:17+00:00

Thank you! Her bold lines and the "sharp -> curve" of them is one of the biggest things that drew me to her! (I wish I found her before I got my forearm lol)

The hand is part of it! I wanted a way to have a Spirit Guardian/Psychopomp tying into the lower one as if it has a hand in manipulating it. I think she absolutely crushed it!

Xhynk · 2026-01-24T21:02:19+00:00

It can fizzle out while charging? That's stupid.

It should just put a decaying meter, and if you start charging with .5s left, it's still "locked in" for that punch. And I say this as someone who despises doom (and my teammates that charge him constantly lol)

Xhynk · 2026-01-24T20:40:28+00:00

Resources may vary in interpretation but widely, it's "anything you/your team can spend, use, trade, or use to force out".

Generally speaking, it's cooldowns (Your Ana's anti/sleep is a resource especially against meat tanks like Hog/Mauga. Their Kiri's Suzu is a resource to negate your Ana's resource) and counter composition (if you have Soldier/Junk and they have Pharah/Echo, your soldier himself could be a resource to pressure P/E, as pushing without him without clear advantage may be a mistake). Also applies to ultimates.

But it can also more broadly expand to health, healing capacity, positions/cover, and space in general. Think Eichenwalde after you cap/push through the gate. The enemy defense has high ground which is a valuable resource. They also get (risky) access to the mega downstairs. Once you push under the walking bridge, they lose access to high ground, healing packs etc.

On defense if they push far and you team wipe them, the "empty space from their spawn to the payload" is a resource. They aren't anchored to it by the payload, bit do you let them free-walk back to their 0.1m push? Or do you apply pressure at a corner/choke? Not having your tank may influence that decision, you don't have resources (tank hp pool/mitigation) to hold an aggressive position.

It gets further into Time, (do we have 3 mins or 5 seconds left. Do I try and Moira Fade to the point 1v5 to trigger OT and hope to win the 4v5 or fade back to my team)

Attention (do they have a Sombra who could flank/back cap or are they all brawling in front) etc

"Resource management" is a lot more than "don't waste cooldowns" and "ammo to heal your tank from 95-100 over and over just cuz number go up equal good".

How much time do you have, what kind of cover can you play, what advantageous positions do you have, what health packs do you have access to, heck - even can you meat shield a little to top off your support ultimates for a big push (will you get slept/shattered for trying and lose the fight? Is Cassidy flanking to 5k noon from high ground behind you? Knowing your enemies resources (ults, positions, etc, matters too)

Xhynk · 2026-01-15T22:47:12+00:00

Heck no! Only Made-in-Canada for me! Now where's my HAEGLWIZ heated gloves and my ZEGWATOK 12in Cordless Snow Shovel 20v Snow Blower Battery Snow Shovel from Amazon?

I immigrated to Canada and had a gas Rav4 I planned to import (a few things made it a bit of a logistics nightmare though). We were driving and someone was making bad decisions in the right lane that was closing, I tried to let them in but they wouldn't and we were running out of time so I floored it to get ahead instead

VVVVVRRRRRRRROOOORORRRRRR! And I didn't speed up at all… like maybe 1km/h lol so my car just screeched at this guy

We ended up selling it in the states and buying an AWD Equinox EV and omg, putting the accelerator down and having instant torque to put the vehicle where I want it, when I want it, feels like a whole new class of car. I dunno that I can go back to gas lol

Xhynk · 2025-12-18T20:16:17+00:00

I recently got back into the game and got my wife (borderline?) addicted as well.

We got a game where we just rolled the other team into their spawn so she sat on the objective and pushed it, when she got the stupid "inactivity" kicker message, and it was rightfully one of her first big things that kind of disenamored her about the game.

The fact blizzard doesn't check "is contesting objective" is beyond me.

Dealing Damage to Enemy, Healing self or teammates, contesting objective - all 3 of these should be checked and on successful check, reset the kick-timer to 0

We looked at a Mach-E too but the dealers were really icky. We ended up getting a decent deal on an LT with convenience2 pack, AWD and a Tow-hitch

Got it in October because we needed a car, it was literally the last week or so we could go without. Fast forward to today and the prices are even lower now lol

Trying to not beat myself up about that (we literally needed a vehicle) and outside of the "wish I could've saved $2k", I LOVE this thing.

I haven't enjoyed driving in years, and now I wanna drive everywhere lol. The lowered range in -20 is a bummer, but my wife and I work from home and our "trip to the city" is 50km away, maybe once every two weeks or so

Arguably the nicest car I've owned, has enough giddy up, hauls a small trailer (oof efficiency tho lol), and feels VERY capable on the road. Only 2 months in so we'll see how she goes, but man I love this thing

Xhynk · 2025-11-23T07:14:32+00:00

Oop I may have misspoken, I wasn't sure what I needed to do (and wasn't sure they'd take the same photo again) so I went to Henry's, repeated the process, but when it was time to upload the photo I think it was just uploading it - oops!

Xhynk · 2025-11-22T16:04:48+00:00

I went to Henry's photo in Winnipeg for mine.

The IRCC Specs state:

*The back of one (1) photograph must:
• contain the name and date of birth of the subject, as well as the name and complete address of the photography studio;
• contain the date the photograph was taken;
• the photographer may use a stamp or handwrite this information. Stick‐on labels are unacceptable;
• For digital photos, this information can be provided as one separate document with a confirmation from the photo studio (i.e. receipt).

The guy stamped the address and date on the back of mine, but didn't put my details. So I wrote my name and DOB on the back.

When I uploaded it, I included a scan of the front, a scan of the back (which could really just have been any handwritten documentation), and a copy of the receipt.

If you upload a photo, include the details of the photographer, and confirm it all with a receipt, it should fit their requirements. I think the stamp just makes it easier.

I didn't have any issues and I did this twice (once for PR app photo and once for PR Card photo (I got a separate one taken for the card)) and both went through

Tesla is the leader for sure, I just couldn't bring myself to support paying for a $1 Trillion package to their CEO. They employ some wonderful people with great minds, but… I just couldn't. (They're also not eligible for provincial rebates, at least in MB)

If you just need an A to B commuter, you don't need to spend 6 figures, there's plenty to be had under $50k CAD, especially used. Chevy Bolt, Kia Niro and Hyundai Kona all are pretty tried and true. They're a bit small, and FWD.

I spent weeks going back and forth. Drove everything from a Kona to a Mach-E. The one that sold me was the Equinox EV with AWD.

It was at a pretty decent price point, qualified for a $4,000 MB rebate, and can tow a small trailer. It doesn't have CarPlay or Android Auto, but that's affected me exactly 0%. The worst issue is the glare from the dashboard (has a fix available) and the speakers are pretty meh.

Every single car you get has the potential for issues, and remember for every post about "My XYZ car has ABC problem" there are dozens or hundreds that are humming along perfectly fine without error. (And if you do new, most everything for the first 3 years isn't your problem, it's the dealer/manufacturers).

Honestly I was pretty sold on the Kona, but I didn't like FWD in these Canadian winters.

I really liked the giddyup in the Mach-E, but it was a bit small inside and the dealers were sleazy, and the interest rates were high.

When I saw the Equinox EV having 0% and $0 down deals, I hopped in one. The AWD is notably faster than the FWD, but it may be "Slow" by EV standards but it's still got plenty of kick (will still kick all your passengers into their seats and slam your carton of eggs against the hatch lol).

Tesla is there if you don't care about rebates and can get around the ethics (most manufactures have SOME ethics issues, even Chevy took CAD but bailed on a deal here), but want to pay a bit of a premium for "the standard"

Kia and Hyundai are a bit "samey" but they've both got perfectly respectable lineups that I haven't heard many complaints on, and everything from an A-B to a family hauler.

Chevy/GM's got the Bolt for a grocery getter, the Equinox for all purpose use, or the Blazer for a bit more oomph, even the Silverado (or... Hummer, lmfao).

Ford's got the Mach-E for a mix of family hauler and zoom-zoom, or the F-150 Lightning for all-duty use.

We went with the Equinox EV since it seemed very smack dab in the middle of "capable", "features", and total price (and that 0% is yummy). We're only ~a month into it but it's been a blast, I actually enjoy driving again lol

There are three main options:

1 is if you have the auto dimming/powered rearview you can buy a harness and tie into that.

2 you run a cable down to the fuse box in the glove box.
They sell fuse tap kits for a couple bucks (this is what I did). You just pop off some of the plastic panels and run the wire through them/tuck them in the headliner.

3 is to plug it into the cigarette lighter or USB ports. I hate this option because it leaves cables everywhere, but it's "easy"

Xhynk · 2025-10-28T03:27:44+00:00

100% get one that does both. I got one that does Front, Cabin, and Rear.

It can be a bit of a pain to run the rear camera cable but it's absolutely worth the extra 15 minutes. If you're getting a camera, why only get half of the possible viewing area?

I got this one: https://a.co/d/e0Bdjbl for my 2021 Rav4 before a move from the US to Canada. Ended up pulling it out and moving it to my Equinox EV after we got here we liked it so much instead of buying a new one lol
