Not picking up a pitchfork and joining the mob is now white knighting? Get the fuck outta here with that shit.
I’m not here to defend Blizzard, frankly fuck them and their mismanagement of a great IP, but people are definitely blowing Overwatch’s failure out of proportion and just hopping on a bandwagon.
I’m making assumptions but I don’t think it’s asinine to assume that they would rather run their service with a constant steady income from a subscription model rather than a one time purchase over the period of half a decade. It would have been one thing if they released paid expansions to the base game every few years but they never did that.
It also doesn’t matter if the company as a whole is profitable if Overwatch itself isn’t. They aren’t Kirkland with the food court hotdogs or rotisserie chickens, as in trying to use Overwatch to pull people into their other games even though it’s a net negative for them to continue to support.
And 7 years after the fact, how is your one time $40 purchase still paying to keep the servers running?
I don’t like the monetary scheme that Blizzard settled on for OW2, I’m never paying $25 for a skin, but the $10 battle pass every 2 months is reasonable in my opinion.
If that battle pass contained all of that season’s cosmetic content and followed a FOMOless scheme more similar to Halo MCC or Deep Rock Galactic, I think most people wouldn’t complain but clearly we have whales that are willing to dump stupid amounts of cash on singular skins.
You, too, could go No-Poo!
I’ve been told just today that tone isn’t hard to infer from text and people who use tone markers are dumb. /s
You’re correct that it isn’t as good of an alternative as flossing but you’re meant to do both.
You should floss, preferably with actual floss and not a pick, and then follow that up with water irrigation. You dislodge food and break up the plaque with the floss and flush it out with the water flosser.
You can’t grow if you can’t admit to yourself that you’re wrong some of the time.

But actually not free as in free beer. Someone is paying to sustain these instances.
Edit: this is the 2nd time I’ve seen the phrase “free as in free beer” today and decided to look it up because I hadn’t really taken notice of it before. I retract my statement and apologize. You used it perfectly and TIL, so thank you.
That was always my understanding of it.
That’s just like, your opinion man!
I never knew about Linear Mouse, thank you so much!!! I fucking hate how Apple ties scroll direction on mice/touchpad and no, “natural” scroll direction is not natural on a standard mouse Apple.
5 Guys is also twice the price and I would argue that their burgers aren’t actually better than In-n-Out’s. I like thousand island sauce tho, so I’m a bit biased.
Totally agree with you about the Cajun fries, they completely blow away In-n-Out’s fries but their fries set a pretty low bar imo.
I thought it was when an article was posted, nobody bothered to read it and then went straight to the comments with their opinions on the subject.
What if users could just configure their own named groups for communities from the various instances, and when you view the group you’d see a feed from all of them?
Floss, irrigate, then brush
This is the way
Well, clearly you should be flossing more if you bleed like that. I’ve used ultrasonic toothbrushes for over a decade and still ended up with cavities starting in-between my teeth because of my lack of flossing.
Something that helped me start flossing regularly was buying the really large spools of the better quality floss and a reusable dispenser. It’s a lot easier to make a habit of something when you don’t run out of it on the regular.
Kokesh must be a manager!
Zuck does already have all that Sweet Baby Ray’s!
