All this "white people problems" and showing an activity like rock climbing or dancing or something and memeing "fucking white people" etc. I'm sick of this socially acceptable racism only when that's only acceptable when referring to "whites" it makes me barf.

Imo it wont end until this double standard ends.

I still stand by my point that rich people want to distract us with everything they can including "race" and the real issue is rich vs poor




Yes, racial issues are always pushed by The Elite to distract the masses from the wealth inequality. It's the oldest trick in the book, yet people fall for it all the time.

Do you really think there's much economic distinction in the bottom 80% when it comes to race? It's splitting hairs, the goal is to create divide on the social level to distract from the real discrepancy, rich vs poor.

Thats us. We dont account for shit of the total population. Everyone or most would have to take them and have that same experience. Mushrooms have been around forever and racism is still here.

People are selfish and always want to be better and greater and I feel that is a primitive instinct which will drive most to something like neuralink. At that point, were all fucked.

part of the reason it works is because the distinction in lived experience is real, yet people claim it should be ignored
that is the first level of division taking place -- convince some people that they are better at forming perceptions of what is going on than others are
while the reality on the ground is still sufficient that it makes those talking about "splitting hairs" or who otherwise minimizing the struggles seem as tho they are as being in league with the higher ups trying to keep people from working to solve things
because they do not seek to help the fellow soldiers being hit by it

and if people were willing to work together to topple the "distraction" then we could move as a more complete unit in toppling those who attempted to use it

Guess I gotta roll a healer IRL

Only hope can give rise to the emotion we call despair. But it is nearly impossible for a man to try to live without hope, so I guess that leaves Man no choice but to walk around with despair as his companion.

Indeed
but with the recognition that a healer is not just someone trained in medical practice
you can become a spiritual healer who helps others cope with their struggles
and keeps them in the fight through psychological "buffs" to their mind state

One amazing thing about the video game Overwatch is that it teaches you to accept a wide range of people/characters of all colors, shapes and sizes. Its a game that teaches tolerance and acceptance, and thats important in society with so much subtle and blatant racism going on that perpetuates thru the generations.

The only way to move forward as a species is to be tolerant and accepting of all walks of Human (and animal) life.

It's a team vs team competitive shooter with characters
but it also is built around the RPG trinity of Damage/Healer/Tank

my perferred characters are the support/healers
Mercy flies around at high speed healing and buffing teammates, and bringing them back to life if they fall in battle
but Symmetra can set up defensive turrets to protect an area, and shoot forward a travelling shield to help protect allies

oh sure, you recognize the racism in Overwatch
and you promote acceptance of animals and humans
but you totally ignore Omnic equality

That's an old patch, they took that out and put in the teleporter. Also they, much to my dislike, heavily nerfed Mercy's rez.

Not exactly as the game doesn't really touch much on that aspect of it. Most of the shorts are just origin stories of the characters that don't really matter that much to the game. Sure they made 76 gay in a story but my guess is that it was more for sales just like with Tracer.

Technically racism is still in the game with the Omnic Crisis and lingering resentment towards them. Also the characters tend to be pretty racist portrayals of various nationalities.

Then again it's Blizzard so it is what it is.

thought the teleporter was one of two options for the ultimate
which one did they take out tho?
have not played since before Moira was introduced, so definitely out of the loop on the specificity

He new changes are that she gets six turrets,with slightly more health. Instead of portable barrier she has the teleporter with limited range. Her gun no longer homes in but is slightly better in power.

As for her new ult, I love it in more ways than one:

Wow, that is quite the set of changes
There is always the temptation to get back in to the game
but if doing so, have to swear to myself to stick to Quick Play
too much toxicity in ranked; people at each other's throats all match

I just flat out gave up. QP has too many leavers and the toxicity and mismatch of game quality gets to me.

I stick with League of Legends, I like their supports better.

I'd love to play someday. And by someday I mean when I can get the internet for like 15 bucks and not 40
