I’m always surprised this “game” still exists.

oh shit, oh no. This is some real WoW veteran bait. I haven’t considered getting back into this since like 2015.

People who receive disability payments (Under $800 per month) get squat. Sorry, person born with a disability or who can’t find work because of it, you need to just “walk it off.”

Well you’re not out of work, now are you? What’s the rush? You’ll get your check when you get it.

Free speech is between the government and you; not individuals and private organizations and you. This isn’t 1957 anymore when it was okay to bully and verbally abuse someone.

Exactly. It’s one of the reasons I think most of these companies actually fear people finding out the kind of people these “athletes” actually are.

Welcome to the “American dream”. There is a reason why so many shitty people get a lot of money/power by climbing that ladder, as one of the more noted fears is them having to be held accountable for their often unconscionable actions.

Humiliation?  If this is just the Day One list, it almost appears as if shitty behavior is a qualification and prerequisite of being an Overwatch professional!

I am curious, how much a pro chages for boosting an account?

Its no different than any other sport.  You wanna play for the league, then you play buy their rules and pay any fines.  Its all in the contracts you sign to play. 

Because these aren’t just randos; they’re professional Overwatch players.  If they want to play in this league, I’m sure ponying up what Blizzard says is part of the deal.

I hate toxic people and cheaters but how can blizzard enforce a fine of 1000 bucks when they aren’t any government official, etc.

You just did the thing I was talking about, you said it’s terrible with no justification other than ‘it’s been done’. There are thousands of singles released each year, if originality is what’s required for any good music I have bad news, just about anything is going to have other similar work already created. Which…

My thoughts exactly. It was really impactful for me when I first got in to TOP (I actually was turned off by them the first performance and song I heard, but then they grew on me the next time around). Thank you for sharing your valuable experience. I think a lot of people are in the same boat, and it is good to feel…

You could insert virtually any contemporary music artist in there. Hopefully you’ve already gotten numb to it by now.

I first heard of TOP when the local alternative station started playing “Tear In My Heart”. I mentioned them to a friend of mine, who was a big fan...she also deals with suicidality, so this article really helps me understand their appeal to her. If any of their music - or the other bands she listens to when she’s in…

It is you. The lyrics are about taking control over suicidal thoughts and living with purpose.

Here’s something for your consideration: they are not. They’re actually very good.

It's the internet. There are a zillion assholes desperately trying to act out.  

And this is why the world is shit. Someone posts that they found something uplifting, something positive, something that helps, and the first fucking comment is to shit on it. I don’t care if someone likes the band or doesn’t like the band. But to tell someone, someone that you know for a fact (if you read the…
