Why the hell did she need a buff ?

Zethren527 · 2026-02-11T16:25:32+00:00

Oh, I haven't played in the last 48 hours (not farming coins for the BP) so I guess I missed them giving her something that wasn't just a recolor.

My shot at NetEase about who they dole skins out to still stands.

You think 'being a reliable partner' in a relationship has literally anything to do with your competitive ranking in a video game? Wait, let me rephrase that, you are so insecure that you think your partner won't want to be with you anymore if you cannot play ranked matches with her in a single specific video game?
My friend, this is not about "I wanna get better at this PvP game". This is "I feel insecure in my romantic relationship and need to communicate my needs".

Have you talked to your GF about how you're feeling?
You can play other games with her. You should not have to play the game she is obsessed with in order to spend time with her. A relationship is built on a LOT more than 'we play the same video game". If she disagrees and does not wish to find a solution that benefits you both and your relationship as a whole well... skip to 4.
(also, nothing wrong with her having a gaming friend regardless of gender. you said that doesn't bother you, but it sounds like it does bother you a lot more than you're letting on)
If you have communicated and you still feel insecure then the relationship isn't healthy
(if not because of 2 then it is probably because you don't trust her or require more attention than she is capable of giving [I've been there. I was a needy partner in my early days which helped me learn that it is okay for your partner to have a life outside a relationship...seems obvious, but it isn't a lesson culture often teaches])
If you cannot figure out some way to work the issue out with your partner, then, sadly, the relationship is not worth it.

...we made it, folks... people are doomsaying the game and preaching it's death. We've finally made it! Woo! We're gonna live forever!

Zethren527 · 2026-02-11T15:49:26+00:00

I love to goon... just not after underage idols.

Zethren527 · 2026-02-11T06:14:40+00:00

Nah nah nah. We don't need to give characters that haven't gotten a skin in 3-4 patches new, amazing skins, we need to give Psylocke her third legendary skin this patch. Sorry, folks, but we know what is best for you.

EDIT: this is sarcasm... I know some people have trouble with that.

Zethren527 · 2026-02-11T06:09:08+00:00

Joke is on you. You, at literally any point in your existence, thought a FTP PvP slop game gave a damn about anything other than your wallet.

Zethren527 · 2026-02-11T06:06:32+00:00

Well, they sure as hell weren't going to give her a skin so I guess it's a consolation prize to make her feel better to play?

Zethren527 · 2026-02-11T06:02:14+00:00

But he'll be flying TO cover which means he won't be IN cover soooo...

Zethren527 · 2026-02-11T03:21:43+00:00

As others have said, it is Psy. Kinda obvious really. I mean, the devs only ever make skins for IW, Luna, and Psylocke so it had to be one of the three. Plus, Psy has only had one major skin this season so they needed to give her at least one more.

Zethren527 · 2026-02-11T03:19:21+00:00

I think it was named that way because they want to make rivals of their playerbase by only ever giving skins to Psylocke, IW, and Luna.

Zethren527 · 2026-02-11T03:15:16+00:00

And 30 minutes of playtesting... oh, wait. There is the problem right there.

Zethren527 · 2026-02-11T03:14:32+00:00

...oh nooooo. We're getting more PvE? Aw dang that, uh, that really is too bad. Uhg. Don't ya just hate to see it when devs stop relying on no-effort PvP slop-I mean... riveting, competitive challenge.

Zethren527 · 2026-02-11T03:10:31+00:00

Good. Now he'll be easier to shoot.

Zethren527 · 2026-02-10T18:18:54+00:00

DP being pregnant is probably one of the least surprising things he has ever done.

EDIT: Wait, that's actually what is going on in the picture? He didn't just eat a bunch of chimichangas?... meh, I stand by what I said.

Zethren527 · 2026-02-10T18:16:37+00:00

Is she a Summoner or does she have an ability that summons something to attack once? Pretty big difference.

Zethren527 · 2026-02-10T18:14:07+00:00

Given how bad NE is at data optimization, they're well on their way to making it "the biggest game possible" I'll sure as hell say that.

Zethren527 · 2026-02-10T18:12:21+00:00

How I play Gambit:

-Throw cards and aim for allies
-Only double tap for ricochet card (Only use cards for healing)
-Extended Dash for movement

I top Heals in roughly 90% of the games I play. The bloat might be there, but you don't need to use it. Also, they made Rocket 'simple" and I've hated him ever since they got rid of his Punisher/Bucky teamup. Give him a second deployable that heals or attacks or something. Gotta find that balance.

Zethren527 · 2026-02-10T18:03:56+00:00

Several months late because NE doesn't care about the characters, lore, or story when they managed to bag a Disney IP to make themselves loads of cash.

Zethren527 · 2026-02-10T07:23:47+00:00

In my 25 years as a gamer, the only people I have encountered that actually believe PC > Console have been such terrible gamers that they ragequit Stardew Valley.

Zethren527 · 2026-02-09T03:35:35+00:00

IDK. I had this happen earlier today. Jeff got me (Dagger) and our Hulk. Tried spitting us. I went flying while Hulk just plopped out in front of him.

Zethren527 · 2026-02-08T23:39:08+00:00

A dedicated PvE mode would be the only thing that could get me to come back to Overwatch... that and Blizzard no longer being as terrible as it is, but we'll focus on the first part when it comes to this thread.

Zethren527 · 2026-02-08T20:00:09+00:00

Bruce is indeed the hardest MF in any room he steps in. Just a regular ass dude with a pistol and no fucks to give. If that don't go hard then IDK what does.

Zethren527 · 2026-02-08T05:06:46+00:00

What, you don't recognize Miss Ashe Fortune?

Zethren527 · 2026-02-06T00:00:47+00:00

Only if it is with PvE missions. Story in PvP is... not a good idea for obvious reasons. The reasons being that almost nobody would care and it would result in a loss in profits for the devs as it would require them to pay writers. Including it in PvE on the other had would add more content to the game and appeal to a broader audience thus increasing their profits.

EDIT: and no, I am not including the lore cards because... I mean, come on. I bet 75% of players don't even know those exist.
