Epic session with the imps, ending in opening 6 loot boxes and getting one of the biker skins for Torbjörn plus a bunch of random purples

Wait. You can reflect that huge bullshit dragon

You can reflect the arrow before it transforms into the dragon, apparently you can also reflect Mei's drone before it activates

Guys... There's something we need to talk about, and thats Overwatch's Laughably Convenient Ageism / Sexism!

Overwatch is a game that after criticism has expressed interest in catering to non-ludotypical body types for women, and it's true that Zarya - short of the Amazon in Dragon's Crown - is perhaps the most musclebound woman in videogames. She's a spritely 28 years of age.

Though its heroines may be diverse in body proportions, however, they cannot be old.

Of the Overwatch team, Torbjorn, Soldier 76, Reinhardt, and Reaper represent old men who've been with the division since its original incarnation, making them 50+. And Roadhog and Hanzo are 48, and 38, respectively.

The women, however, are frozen in youth and beauty.

Mei is 31, but was frozen cryonically for a decade plus, conveniently keeping her out of those dreaded forties and within the realm of waifu-bait.

Tracer was a part of Overwatch's original assembly but was frozen in a temporal vortex, making her a perpetually perky, attractive 26. It's jarring to see her alongside the grey men of Overwatch with whom she worked many years prior.

Pharah's mother was originally in Overwatch 1.0, but thankfully she's dead so the game can sport Pharah, keeping her essentially the same character but more youthful and easier on the eyes.

Widowmaker is 33 and her breathing and aging has been slowed by an artifically-reduced heartbeat, keeping her blood less oxygenated and granting her skin a bluish hue.

Symmetra has no such contrivances that keep her young. She simply is. She's 28.

Mercy is the game's oldest female at 37, though her medical training requires her to be and sports a cybernetic Valkyrie suit.

D.Va is a 19 year-old K-Pop starlet in a skintight bodysuit.

It's worth nothing that no robots or true cyborgs in the game can be female.

I found it amusing that for all its posturing on inclusivity among body types (which is essentially six Barbies, a thicker Barbie in a parka, and a short-haired weightlifter), the game sports a glaring juxtaposition in age gaps between those of its male and female protagonists, even when keeping backstories part of the same, original team.

Women in Overwatch, it seems, can vary slightly among body types provided they're a youthful, attractive complement to an aging assemblage of grizzled men.

Some people have things called Friends that they like to chill with on the couch and just shoot the poo poo and game like bau5es. Crack open a cold beer and pass the controller around to your friends, you know. Oh wait... You wouldn't since your too busy looking up the prices of what GPU you have to buy every 2 weeks on arstechnica.

Scout got split into Tracer and Genji depending on if you want horizontal mobility or vertical mobility.

One thing that playing Ana made me realize is how gay it is there's a jump button, even though there's never anything to jump on and half the poo poo you can get on forces you to slide off because Blizzard didn't want you there. Anyway it sucks because you can jump with no penalty, so everyone does it, so you miss heal darts a lot at range. And for some reason nobody ever picks Lucio or Mercy when you're Ana because they think you can somehow heal everyone yourself

Larry has never experienced bunnyhopping his way to school.
