It makes the point accessible to ignorant white kids, which flew straight over your head in the rush to defend some portion of your precious geek culture that you think is more important than other people.

As a TF2 vet, I think Overwatch’s class design is much better, specifically regarding mechanics. They’ve taken a lot of the ideas in TF2 that really worked (nearly every Overwatch hero has at least some connection to a TF2 class) and removed those that hadn’t. For me, the revelation came with 3 classes that really…

As a long time TF2 player (over 1000 hours played) i think Overwatch is incredible. I’ve been playing since closed beta in November and I can easily see myself spending hundreds of hours in it. It’s a Blizzard game so i don’t have to worry about the community dying in a few months and Blizzard supports their games for…

I’ve played TF2, though I’d say my biggest team-based shooter was probably Battlefield, followed by maybe Monday Night Combat. All of these games are excellent in their own right but I wouldn’t say they were designed for teamwork in the same way Overwatch is....for example I have fond memories of playing as a medic in…

People naturally follow eyes, and there’s no better way to direct attention. Tony Zhou (and his excellent Every Frame a Painting series) often touch on this concept too.

Let me tell you a story where people didn’t upgrade from IE6, because they bought some solution that cost millions of dollars. It held them back. Some salesmen told them it was the bee’s knees, because the Internet wast the future. He said IT would never have to install individual client software again. What he didn’t…

Upgrading to windows 10 isn’t for me. It’s for you. I’m not a software developer. I don’t care that you want me to be on Windows 10. I want to be on Windows 8.1. Why? Because for the week that I used Windows 10, I found it to be the most unstable OS I’ve used since Windows ME. A week’s worth of googling revealed that…

Yeah sorry but I don’t care. There is a case to be made about that for XP, but 7 is far too recent, I’m not going to support any practice that involve OSes being too old at 7.

There is absolutely no valid reason for me to upgrade from 7. It’s supported until 2020, I wouldn’t want to support developers actually stopping to develop for it anyway, there is absolutely no relevant gain in performance that could possibly make my life easier as everything is already near instantaneous, there’s no…

I’m opposed to using an operating system that does not respect my wishes. Aside from Windows Update, telemetry, and the inability to disable Windows Defender, Windows 10 is quite good. My problem is the shift they’ve made with how they treat their end-users.

Here is the reasons why I have forcefully disabled Windows 10 updates:

It’s a fine operating system, but these are self-inflicted wounds. Microsoft is shooting themselves in the foot for no good reason.

plenty of devs have mastered using Squash and stretch...

Oh the fun she must have when her friends fall asleep pissed out their brains.

Oh sure! Censorship can happen at gunpoint too, forgot to include that because the idea of someone using literal violence or blackmail to censor games was too fantastical to come to mind immediately. Seeing as that doesn’t happen and all. Now if you were talking about tactics used by these individuals complaining…

Changing or removing your own material so as to maximize profits is really not different than using a more formal language in your work email than you do in fannish communities or private messages to friends. You are expected to change your approach depending on context.

You hardline censorship people are so naive and annoying.

It is important to note that it is self-censorship (although censorship isn’t the correct word either). The company has chosen to do this. Which is their right as they own the IP. People may not like it and they are free to complain or vote with their wallets of course.

you make it sound as if dragon ball punted your newborn child.
