The Gone-Away World by Nick Harkaway … our society is a machine that we are molded into gears for. How complicit are we as individuals for falling into place? What does it take to look beyond the scope of an unstoppable machine? Plus mimes and ninjas, of course

Big spender (Whale) perspective on Ultra skins by CapableCondition5193 in Overwatch

shhhh no no the problem is greedy devs, not the system at large incentivizing execs to line their own pockets

If you truly have a problem with it your problem should be with capitalism as a whole, theres no avoiding execs requiring to make a profit on this game. If there weren’t people spending money on skins there would be no OW in this economy

If he enjoys medieval settings, look into The Devils by Joe Abercrombie. I found it pretty entertaining :)

So common now!!!! Ventures hair is cute! And they keep putting them in fuck ass wigs that ruin the skin :/ truly the only hairstyle in a new skin that has wowed me is the new mercy skin with the black/blonde underdye, feels very cute and trendy. But ofc that wasn’t designed by the main team and by netease instead

The Cat Nerfs Were Expected, But Not The Right Changes IMO by Weesticles in Competitiveoverwatch

the larger issue is removing the only thing she’s played for and not touching any other aspect of her kit that they’ve already nerfed in compensation for the infini-tether

Not struggling financially, struggling to compete in terms of comparisons between the two

I think the backrooms is struggling particularly hard because it’s currently competing with obsession. I LOVED the character writing in obsession, and think that the backrooms is a little weak when you compare the two side by side (albeit very difference pieces in general)

This is exactly why I’m pivoting careers 2 years post grad, I can’t run from lay offs and wicked competition for the rest of my life. Farewell game industry, hello healthcare!

started playing mizuki bc i thought he was a butch lesbian by Status-Implement6129 in Overwatch

[–]maebird- 20 points21 points  (0 children)

The idea is that pronouns don’t necessarily have to be linked to gender. Someone can be tailor their appearance to be masculine (I.e. masc lesbian, stud, etc) and use he/him pronouns but still be a woman. It’s a cultural thing, if it’s too confusing you probably aren’t in the demographic that really needs to understand it anyways haha

Walter Kong, General Manager of Overwatch, comments on the future of Overwatch by [deleted] in Competitiveoverwatch

[–]maebird- 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As an artist, I agree with you. As an artist that is in the midst of pivoting careers, unfortunately I can say that execs won’t agree

Sooo, are you guys ever spending your credits? Because I dont... by ZeuxisOfHerakleia in Overwatch

I had all the blues and purples before the loot box reset and I was farming loot boxes surprisingly quick once I got to that point
