I beat Overwatch 2

What shows/movies are you watching?

The fact that She-Hulk attempted to pull a "We purposely made a bad ending of the show guys. Ha ha ha." Makes it one of the saddest pieces of fiction that I've never watched in my life.

@SleepingSilence

That's not what it did, though. That's not at all what they did. The point wasn't "haha the ending is bad" it was "the MCU is very formulaic and this is us poking fun at that and reinforcing the point of the show was never 'superhero punchy origin story' but rather 'the protagonist comes to find a balance between two very different lives'.

After about a week with me playing less often and really only logging on to do my daily missions, I am rank 41 on the Overwatch 2 battle pass. With 50-something days left in the season it stands to reason that it is possible and feasible to get to rank 80, the max rank, just by doing dailies and weeklies.

This doesn't excuse putting future heroes on level 55 of the pass but it is also a bit less daunting considering just playing normally without the carrot on a stick of dailies and weeklies gets you a pittance of xp.

That Final Fantasy XIV thread I mentioned I wanted to start that one time.

Since it's going to be part of the relic grind now I'm gonna take the opportunity to say it once and for all: I never liked Hildibrand. I think those quests are like bad filler episodes in anime complete with humor that tries to be slapstick but borders on the absurdist which makes them annoying at the absolute best.

But at least it has nice references to other Finals Fantasy

Barbarian was very very good

My problem with the battle pass as it exists in Overwatch 2 is that you get a paltry amount of XP after games unless you specifically go for challenges. A player is unlikely to get to 80 on just daily challenges and weekly challenges alone. I'm at rank 23 but I also get a 20 percent xp buff because I got the premium pass with my 40 dollar pre order.

Overwatch 1 is gone. Forever.

Overwatch 2 will not last as long as OW1 did because the entire design doc for OW2 reeks of "if we say it's free to play we can monetize the player way more than ever because long term players stop spending on loot boxes because they have everything already but now with battle passes and the promise of 'regular updates' and 'missable cosmetics' we can rake in the cash!"

The sad part is for as much as gamers cry foul, an even larger group of silent sorts will just pay for the battle passes every time anyway because ohh shiny.

Anyway I'll play it because what the fuck else am I going to play between now and Bayonetta 3

It's not really the topic so it's in hiders

My Thoughts on Brie Larson

She brings a lot of it on herself by saying dumb shit and then saying stuff to try to diminish it, before saying it again. Like she's trying to gain the attention and adoration of one group by shitting on another...but then trying to placate the group she's shitting in by saying she's not shitting on them.

@BangoSkank

She's never done this, though.

Anyway, I've been replaying God of War 2018 and man I can't believe they convinced people that game was anything more than "eh it's okay" and that's generous.

And despite my ambivalent feelings toward Edgerunners, it was clearly a success. (In garnering interest back into a product with bad PR.) So, maybe now that this is the third time something like this has been positively received on Netflix, they'll make these instead of those shitty live action anime movies. >.>

@SleepingSilence

The greatest trick Edgerunners ever pulled was convincing gamers that 2077 wasn't a fucking trashfire.

Like everyone's all like "Wow this game isn't actively on fire anymore, I thought it was bad!" but forgetting the fact that it was pulled from digital stores for like eight fucking months and no amount of polishing can fix the core of that game being an Ubisoft style open world with very little in the way of actual role playing!

But hey, it wouldn't be the first time fans of an anime overreacted to something!
