I'll for sure have to see how it plays out in match. Part of it is I also am not a fan of MOBAs, and Deadlock seems to pull a lot from them. We were also looking for a game that my partner could play kinda like Overwatch, bit I think she'll bounce pretty hard off Deadlock.
Vodulas
Finally got an invite to Deadlock. After watching a let's play and messing around with different heroes in the Hero Sandbox, I think there is just too much. I know it is a MOBA shooter combo, but between the movement mechanics, skills, and item shop, it just kinda seems they added stuff just because other titles in either genre have them. I might still give it a few matches, but it definitely dropped in priority.
Been playing through Raft again with my partner, and that's been a blast. I love a survival crafter, and realized she had not played since the full release. Kinda a cozy survival game if that is even a thing. The only downside isn't it has been moving our normal sleep schedule later, and we need to move it earlier
Sadly, no ranked choice here, so Kamala Harris on my official ballot. If I had ranked choice it would be:
-
Claudia de la Cruz
-
Cornell West
-
Kamala Harris
Sure, and there are plenty things to make fun of him for that don't hurt other people. For example being a fucking creep or being a constant loser.
Ah yes, I am coddling Trump by saying this type of insult does nothing to him and only causes splash damage to others. Don't mind all the things that you can validly criticize him for, like being a wannnabe nazi dictator, project 2025, his xenophobia, racism, or transphobia. Make fun of him for that stuff, not something that perpetuates shitty behavior
Toxic masculinity is bad when targetted at ~~non-men, or non-masc-conforming men~~ anyone.
FTFY
Who said I am bent out of shape? I am a bit annoyed, and pretty disappointed, but not angry. And yeah, you might succeed at making someone mad by making fun of their penis, but that isn't productive, and does not make them rethink their own toxicity. All it does is tell them that this particular type of joke is OK since both sides are using it. So it can't do any good, but can do harm.
AFAIK it'll send a notification, but I would be incredibly surprised if Trump looked at any notifications from small accounts. But, even in the off chance he does see, I highly doubt he would think anything about it. He is not someone to listen to anyone
Ah yes, the invasion of Germany is the same as a small dick joke.
The issue is not that they are punching at trump, the issue is that punch hits other people that are not trump, and trump will give zero shits about it.
OK, so let's say Trump sees this. How do you think it will effect him? Do you think he'll be like "Oh shit, someone made fun of my penis, better stop being a Nazi." It's pointless and does nothing to even make him feel bad. You think Trump cares what anyone besides himself thinks? All you have accomplished is perpetuating toxic masculinity as a valid form of criticism.
Toxicity does nothing to them though. It only normalizes their behavior.
That might be part of it. The shooting doesn't do it for me, and the movement feels bad unless you nail it.
