As far as I’m concerned this week’s brawl confirms PharMercy.

I am actually really happy to see an analysis of the Russian reception of a Russian character, through the lens of queer representation. I think it's pretty new and unusual.

Twist, there is only one straight character. It is Bastion.

Gender Norms =/= Homosexuality, she’s canonically Russian, not canonically homosexual, I assume thats why the writer focused on the facts rather than a fan’s interpretation. She very well could be somewhere in the LGBTQ spectrum, and I believe blizzard deliberately left that to interoperation. However I personally…

It’s pretty obvious Zarya likes Mei - she flirts with her during the pre-fight interaction / banter:

Casual players literally call her “The Russian Lesbian.”

You know what really burns my ass?

Aww :(

Nice to know that those of us who can’t exercise (or at least not well or regularly) don’t live purposeful lives... (Yeah, I’m being picky, I know. Still rubs me the wrong way though.)

I tried them last week. They reminded me somewhat of fried mozzarella sticks. I didn’t really taste the “Cheetos” flavor much.

In short, they were OK, but more gimmicky than flavorful. Something to try once, but not to buy consistently.

“It made me sick, but sometimes the best part of gaming is role-playing someone you really hate.”

I was pretty baffled when the twelve-year old daughter of a co-worker told me she was going to cosplay as “Yandere-chan”. I had no idea that game was actually popular in that age group. Interesting to know.

I know right? When can we get back to the montage of awesome explosions and pedestrian murder sprees from Grand Theft Auto and away from this sick murder crap.

Ahhhh yes, Trevor Noah. The person who most likely had nothing to do with a tweet sent out by social media staffers. He is the true villain here.

Yes, the joke above is an example of someone trying to be funny but failing. And if you think Trevor Noah personally writes everything on the Daily Show’s twitter account you’re very naive.

Meh. It’s a bad (as in, unfunny) joke, but I’m not entirely sure the outrage is justified.

It wouldn’t be so bad if the game had any personality. Or it would be as bad, but at least it would have personality. I’ve played for several hours so far, and I am not clicking with the characters or story at all. Even the nearly-naked witch character is bland as toast.

I see no problem?

Um, my money’s on “racism” and “vast & immense inequality brought on by racist legislation”.

Most older folks I know are cold all the time, so blisteringly hot with no humidity is generally the upper threshold of “comfortable”.
