The bigger problem is the new DPS passive. 20% reduced healing after being tapped by a DPS makes healing tanks terrible. Now supports have to Healbot tanks more than ever; and being a tank in general sucks to be focused down because you’re so easy to hit.

I miss the days when playing the game and beating challenges were the only way to get cool armor/titles/skins. Now it’s literally just ‘I paid money to look cool!’. Worse, it came at the EXPENSE of earned rewards; because nobody wants to wear the $50 skin next to someone who looks better in the earned stuff. 

I’ve been away for a long time, but are the Horde and Alliance even apart anymore? Last I heard they were considering throwing that part to the winds and letting everyone talk/hang out/group in dungeons together, regardless of your race.

Blizzard messed up the moment they started selling skins directly at super-high prices. A big part of what kept me coming back to OW1 was the FOMO of new skins to collect. I had -every- skin/emote/voice line and wanted to keep that title.

Unpopular Opinion: The terrible graphics helped it lean into the campy Kung-Fu movie feel of the games.

The villain screaming “I shall rip your soul apart, and tear the world asunder!” feels hilarious as their hair flickers in and out of existence.

*Watches someone get their arms ripped off* ...*The view shifts to…

Wonder if this is more about how other NPC characters perceive you rather than actually having and changing what your model shows.

They aren’t getting a penny from me. These are just new Archives missions they used to give each year for FREE! With no replayability; I’ll save $15 and watch a YouTube of it.

The whole stunt to make these rare numbered cards disgust me. I used to play M:TG, but after Late-Stage-Capitalism ruined other beloved Nerd endeavors (The OGL debacle from WoTC, EA’s gutting of Overwatch 2 PVE, the rise of games as Live Services instead of finished products, etc) I can’t justify getting back into the…

Just report trolls? Let Blizzard ban people who troll with it. Eventually it’ll be just another action in the game. It’s not like people couldn’t throw by feeding, intentionally missing, running off to another section of the map, etc.

From what I hear, it’s got a very short duration. Like, 2-4 seconds. However the timer STOPS when it’s close enough and in LOS to chain someone. So when he pops it, it’s sort of like a shorter death blossom that he’s got to keep finding targets for or else it’s gone.

When their target market were teens with limited income, MTG focused on making an interesting game. Now that the market has grown up and has Adult Money, they’re pitching the cards entirely as investments rather than about having fun building/playing the game.

All I hear about is how ‘This new card will make this…

This plays into Kanye’s ego, though. His ego IS his product.

‘I’m naturally talented to the point where I don’t need to learn things by reading.’ is a better message for him than: ‘I put work into my music, studied poetry, iambic pentameter and mastered a variety of instruments. Stay in school, kids!’

Dang, how many total Kotaku writers are left? Is it just Fahey and... Fahey?

“Hurr-Durr Subways exist, Elon!” -All the skeptics

Could this be better with train cars and convoys? Sure! Is this a big Proof-Of-Concept that tunnels can replace highways? Definitely.

The bigger picture is that this can lead to replacing highways with the convenience of trains; but then you literally ‘drive’ out of…

So you’re going on a tour specifically evaluating the charging network of presumably non-Tesla chargers; and your initial takeaway is ‘the window switches are amazing’?

Definitely a good idea not to include any Tesla drivers in that event; unless you time travel back about 8 years so the ranges and charging networks…

Every one knows January is the best time to drop a new big-budget video game. It'll give a whole 11 months to get people riled up for the Christmas rush!

Tesla does not want a big workforce. They want to ‘Build the machine that builds the machines’ in their Gigafactories. Why set up roles for employees that will quickly be replaced by robots? Hence the aversion to unionizing. 

Doesn’t seem to be working with code 3YWSCD47. Tested 8/4/21 @ 14:45CST. Any ideas?

...And there goes Ash Parrish. I liked her articles, and hope she finds a new niche elsewhere.

Didn't Gizmodo unionize a few years ago? Why are so many authors leaving lately?
