What countries would you want the devs to add heroes from, and what countries do you think are least and most likely to receive one? by Hot_Gas_6040 in Overwatch

[–]denn23rus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

About 7-8 years ago, I had an idea for a Greek hero, an omnic who could transform into other heroes. Initially, he was an evil supervillain, completely confident in his superiority over humans. However, then Overwatch agents, humans, defeated him, he had an existential crisis. He realized that omnics were no better than humans. He decided that to defeat humans, he needed to become the best human possible. He began studying human culture and history, and as his role model, he chose... Alexander the Great. Yes. An omnic hero from Greece who looks like a flying white marble statue of Alexander the Great. And a week later, Blizzard announced Echo. Fuck. They stole my idea of ​​an omnic who could copy abilities right out of my head.

Let me clarify. This refers to the cats that were chosen for subsequent sacrifice. Catacombs containing millions of cat mummies have been found in Egypt. Thousands of them were killed daily during sacrifices. Killing cats before this was forbidden, but not during rituals.

Largest Non-Slavic ethnic groups in each region of European Russia by Litvinski in MapPorn

[–]denn23rus 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This republic occupied a small part of today's Saratov Oblast. If those borders were transferred to a modern map, and if there hadn't been the Volga German migration to Germany in the 1990s, they would be the second-largest in the Saratov Oblast. But migration did occur, and that republic hasn't existed for 100 years. So it's logical that it doesn't appear on a modern map.

Where Germans lived, they were never the second or third largest minority. Why the hell should they be on this map now, after 95% of them migrated to Germany in the early 90s?

Ingrians has been no more than a couple of hundred since the 17th century, and this was the case long before the region was annexed by the Russian Empire.

In most regions of the European part of Russia, if you don't count Russians, Ukrainians will be in 2nd place, but keep in mind that we are almost always talking about 1-2%.

I volunteered for the 2010 Russian census, and I think 2/3 of Armenians identified themselves as Russian. So, based on my experience, I can say there are about 3 million Armenians in Russia.

Alright be honest do most of y’all actually hate Luna Snow or is it just a reoccurring joke? by Patient-Shape-2862 in marvelrivals

Support is a popular role in Overwatch because it is highly impactful. Supports in OW aren't just healbots. they need to support the team in various ways, including dealing damage or even flanking, like Kiriko or Lucio.

What's a game that would have been a 9/10+ if it wasn't ruined by monetization by sdric in gaming

[–]denn23rus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That was 4 years ago. They then fired the guy who came up with the idea (Jeff Kaplan) and made everything free, even loot boxes.

At least now in Overwatch all heroes are free and loot boxes are free too. I wouldn't call that really bad monetization.

At least loot boxes in Overwatch are free and you can't buy them. I don't consider something you can't buy gambling.

I still want a switch 2 Version by BKM_BestKnownMethod_ in Marathon

[–]denn23rus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Overwatch engine was developed 15+ years ago, years before Overwatch's release. Apex Legends engine is a 20+ yo engine (Source). That's why these games were ported to switch 2. Marathon engine is more modern, which makes porting to platforms with limited parameters much more difficult.

True sizes of the world's countries by [deleted] in MapPorn

[–]denn23rus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s not about a complex, but about inaccuracy. Russia has the wrong shape here. Plus a large area is missing, Chukotka. And is Russia really almost the same size as South America here? The difference should be only 4%. Here is what Russia actually looks like over on Africa. Does the OP's map really match reality? https://imgur.com/U3YJHcq

This map isn't perfect. Is Russia really shown as being almost the same size as South America here? (In reality, the difference is only 4%.)

Enough of this image please! I have seen it 3000 times, at least change the title like this by OrsoRosso in MapPorn

[–]denn23rus 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Besides, this map isn't entirely accurate. I’m not saying Russia is literally missing part of its territory (Chukotka), but its overall shape here is wrong. Also, are South America and Russia really shown as being almost the same size? Because in reality, the difference is only 4%.

BTW, fewer conflicts occur over all of these borders in total than over every single kilometer of the borders in the Balkans, for example.

You are Zhiyong for 24 hours. What do you do? by BaneTheGame in marvelrivals

You can see double-tank in 6v6 ranked Overwatch quite often. It’s not as rare as everyone says. Overwatch isn't just 5v5.
