Hades is awesome. No idea why I waited so long to get it

Overwatch announced that they are changing McCree’s name because he was named after one of the horrible, abusive assholes at the company. They are going to work the name change into his story arc. They said there was a big thing with him about to be released in September, so they have to delay it to make changes. So cool, good decision.

Just don’t read replies to the post on Facebook. It’s a cesspool (in before “so is Facebook overall”).

What in the actual fuck

Young people today learn about history by playing Fortnite instead of they way I learned it, which was by playing Civilization.

It’s not the worst idea, but they need to at least disable emotes, not let it be so interactive.

The aspect that makes your special a bunch of homing missiles once you’ve landed a regular attack on an enemy is real good, if you haven’t tried that yet. Let’s you focus on avoiding damage while still inflicting steady damage. Especially if you get the weapon upgrade that adds more arrow shots to the special and then can get the Artemis boon that fires more arrows with special and regular hits

I tried the MLK thing in Fortnite last night. It was a valiant effort, but not executed particularly well. I do think emotes and dumb bullshit should have been turned off, but overall, players were fairly respectful.

Basically, it’s the National Mall with massive, four-sided screen showing MLK’s speech. There are various “games” you can play around the mall that are supposed to show how if we work together, we can achieve greatness or something, but they were all dumb and you have to just hope someone else comes over to play. There were some nice areas you could walk into to see pictures and read about the civil rights movement.

I can respect what Fortnite was trying to do and honestly, I always enjoy watching MLK’s speech (and one of my kids was looking over my shoulder, so that was nice), but I would’ve just made the historical part stronger and reduced/eliminated the games.

If you stay 20 minutes, you also get a spray, so it’s a way to keep people there to listen/watch.

My son played it and seemed to like it. Certainly could be done better but still cool and a good thing to do

I got to hades on like run 15 yesterday and he died and then came back to life and killed me. I kinda figured it couldn’t be that ez.

Take that, Dad!

Wait until you find out about stage 3 and 4!

Elden Ring sounds exactly like dark souls.

@suzzer99 do you still have that photo you posted where you’re angry and sunburned and grimacing? I need to make a king in CK3 and that’s a perfect look.

You’re going to have to narrow it down more.

Any one will work.

Suzzer could infiltrate the Proud Boys with some khakis and tactical gear on. Or Navy Seals. Not dissing.
