Communism will help more white people than anyone else. Any equal measures unfairly provide less to minority populations just because there's less of them. Democracy is truly the tyranny of the mob.

Yeah, Bastion is cool and fun, but I do find myself getting good countered by Reaper a lot if I am not careful.

Reaper is also a lot of fun. I normally get a bit bored of FPS games, but this one is a lot of fun.

I just wish I was better with the jetpack rocket launcher character. Anyone got any tips for using her?

She has a bunch of vertical abilities but you want to make sure you aren't just floating around above a point. That can work it okay if the only people there are Junkrat or Winston, but anyone with direct damage will kill you floating Egyptian rear end in seconds.

Yeah pharah only wants to stay airborne if she's directly over the engagement. Either out of view because she's literally over the enemy, or above her team drawing fire by fighting the enemy

Protect your status as Skylord by rocket barraging any other Pharahs out of the air.

If you haven't got a mercy or other healer, camp around health packs. Barrage is a good "gently caress you" to a particular group that's giving you trouble, so don't be afraid to use it if you need to. Try not to stay in the air too much unless you're certain their widowmaker/mccree is down (90% of the time you don't have to worry about fan the hammer McCrees but you do sometimes get some that realize they do have a primary fire)

Prioritize supports above all else, you can easily get behind shields and take out the medic. Even if you die doing this, the tradeoff is almost always worth it.

The concussion grenade works great for separating Reinhardts from their team. Fly above, hit the reinhardt from behind, you'll push him forward and his team back.

I do enjoy playing with goons but I really wish it was more drop-in than it is now. I generally don't join groups through Discord or direct invite because I am only planning on playing a match or two to chill and I don't want to commit to seriously playing it.

I agree but thats more a function of the game. You have to wait for a new round to start or else you're boned so dropping in and out with buddies is a lot harder than it would otherwise be. A bummer for sure.

I just played a bunch with a few ps4 goons and they were very nice and good. Unlike pub games I wasn't leading eliminations and damage playing as support characters.

The bonus XP allowed me to open boxes and buy the Ifrit zenyatta skin very quickly, which is objectively the best skin in the game.

Zenyatta has the best skins, just a shame he is worthless the second you come up against anyone that can aim.

I think technically it would, but I think they are sampling their assets and audio which may cross a line vs being original content, so I'm not so sure. Its also probably because its being monetized on those sites so they are essentially selling Overwatch animation without permission from Blizzard.

Parody needs to make a statement about the subject, so porn parodies aren't generally protected. I guess if they made some statement about over sexualizing games maybe it would be protected. It's the same reason Weird Al has to ask permission to use songs because he isn't usually making a statement about the original song.

I played four hours of this game in a stack and it was really good.

Then I played two hours on my own and it was not good.

The fact that Kotaku did a gigantic front page piece about it was likely the major impetus, if I had to take a guess. Riot Games, by point of comparison, doesn't care at all about League of Legends-related erotica (monetized or no), principally because no one's ever written a widely shared and discussed article about it.

Weird Al also doesn't actually use their original music, he recreates everything himself, so I'm not entirely sure where that stands. I guess he also asks permission as a formality and he technically doesn't need to, he just likes to be polite like that.

I thought he did it because he needed permission to sell it? Like for when the whole "Perform This Way" fiasco happened, where he made the music, Gaga changed her mind, and then he only released it as audio on YouTube rather than charging for it.

Gaga later changed back but still

Enough of this nonsense. You are an important mayor and this absurd contraption has wasted enough of your time.
What's with all the Symmetras today? All the way up until today I almost never saw her and now she is in all of my games and people are fighting over her and we even did a 4 symmetra team but the other 2 people were big baby's and we got hard countered by a lone winston anyway. Point being what gives? I mean I think she's good so I'm not mad about it, just confused about the reversal.

Unrelated, I wish blizz would let me cancel roadhogs ult.
