Yeah, and I interact with more than enough of them on a daily basis to know beyond any reasonable doubt that a disproportionately large amount of them are lovely, present company probably included. What, exactly, are you trying to argue with? This whole Tracer thing is a loving case study in weirdos with lovely opinions about sexuality.

Because I never did either of those things and you're posting very poorly The jump from "most nerds are lovely people" to "video games and people who make and play them are evil and I hate them" made me assume alcohol, also the words and letters out of order and such.

So I'm branching out on some new characters I haven't really experimentd with. Lucio is a lot more fun than I thought he'd be, though I'm still not sure how most effectively to use his gun, he seems to benefit from being up close so I can hit an enemy with a full clip fast. I got a 10-kill streak with him though, so I guess I did alright. I feel like I'm starting to understand how to play Reaper effectively as well, and Junkrat is surprisingly effective at keeping entire defending teams scrambling, he can control a battlefield in ways I'm only just beginning to tap into. In fact, I'd say I got much better at a lot of characters I don't use very much, like Mei and Anna. Winston still sucks and I hate him.

Like the Soldier one. a few months ago some guy raided with his daughter and son in law as the main tank, he was very creepy southern who make jokes about his daughter tits and talked about his balls a ton with her in the channel. i was going to say he was going to force his grand son to only watch cartoons from the 80's and 90's but the incest is just worse. anyways he was pro gay so i wouldn't think he would of been too upset about tracer, but he was a trumpet who maybe. i am now in a cool guild now with Canadians, i notice i always have better gaming times with Canadians or Minnesotans.

IronicDongz posted:you should talk to "tech=savy" people something, lotta engineer types are real shitheads who don't know anything beyond their job but assume they are political/social geniuses I guess it's just my bad assumption that if people are informed, they wouldn't freak the gently caress out at a fictional character being a lesbian. While I know it's a big deal for the LGBT community to have a character that actually represents them - I can't wrap my head around the backlash against it. Then again, I've also never felt an emotional attachment to any fictional character strong enough to be offended when they did something/were something that I didn't expect them to be, specially in regards to a fictional character's sexuality. Edit: I already have my CIS white male representation in Soldier:76. Could you imagine the sheer RAGE if he turned out to be gay? Blizzard should release a comic of the origin of Reaper and Soldier 76 once being a couple who had a really, really bad fight.

CapnAndy posted:What's the logic here? They award less XP per match than the 6v6 modes (since they take less time); is the idea that you win enough matches to make up the difference with Match Win bonuses? Yes. Even with a median WR of 50% this results in a bonus box every 6 games. Not good?

I say it a big deal overall since it is the cover character, if it was Mai or Lucio it wouldn't be a big deal since no one knows who the gently caress they are outside of folks who played the game and had very little charater with them, but tracer is a charater that may date back to even when the game was titan and is more of less the face of overwatch. so the LGBT community being happy about this warm my heart. even a friend of mine who is gay was very happy. that bring me more joy then the "top 500 straight male" meltdowns.

I agree. Schadenfreude is nice and all but people being genuinely happy is 10/10 good stuff.

Caeks posted:Yeah this astonishes me. I would think that gamers tend to be more tech-savy, and as such, would feed themselves naturally all the wealth of information the internet has to offer. I assumed, because of this, that most young gamers would be far more liberal-leaning - at least when it came to social policies and equal rights in particular. It's a double-edged sword. Included in that wealth of information are plenty of anonymous or semi-anonymous communities with no real rules where people can freely violate real-life social and ethical norms like "don't be openly racist" with no consequences whatsoever. Rather than browsing all over the internet gathering information of all kinds, self-identified "gamers" tend to self-segregate and spend most of their time in gaming-related communities, many of which are fairly tolerant of bigoted crap. Also, gamers tend to have a lot of free time to spend on the internet, so they have plenty of time to waste doing stuff like making lovely forum posts or e-stalking people.
