I don't social media much what do I put here
From what I've seen others do that tends to be the standard, maybe a community discord if you can manage that but not everyone does that

I think most of the time people are just happy to have an avenue to support the project, and the little bonuses are just that, bonuses for the support

Genuinely one of the only actual proper uses of "slop", something just to be consumed with no care for the actual quality, effort, or substance put into it. You eat it to pass by and quickly move on from what it was like

The whole thing feels very unresolved to me. Maybe it's at most being put on the backburner for now, but, saying it's "concluded" is jumping the gun given there literally has not been a resolution to it yet. I have no clue why people are thinking it's over when it so plainly just, isn't?
November 5, 2025 at 12:58 AM
Saying it's concluded feels like an incredibly hasty, major leap assumption, no? The last two entries to me (Ram Comic + Atlas News) feel like it's continuing off the plotline and, if anything, giving room for direction for it, given Zen isn't joining Ram and the NS ships successfully escaped

I don't feel a mental weight but I DO feel a "physical" weight in my mouse hand when I've copied something and haven't pasted it yet (Or at least, don't remember pasting it yet)

Spamton A. Spamton works in mysterious ways, it's probably better not to question it

Ohhh, that's why she acts like that, she accidentally shot herself with her own gay blaster, no wonder

I love when fandom wikis just think of something and roll with it in a trivia section. It's basically the prime section for "idk I think this is right probably" even though there's literally no source or evidence for it

Obviously it comes from a place of love for both things but it's just funny
September 13, 2025 at 6:07 AM
Ohh, that'd make sense, hope whatever it is you're able to get finished by then as well!

Okay I now realize that "Amy Chen's article" in question is in fact the article I linked above

In which case it would've been nice to source it alongside this post, like you did on the Twitter side of things!

Hey can we get some further context that the Polygon articles that *you guys* cited and partially stoked the flames on all of this because of it actually entirely misrepresented the full quote from the devs, which we now know from this article from esportsgg
esports.gg/news/overwat...
Overwatch 2 confirms that oddball heroes are here to stay: “I promise you the team loves oddballs and oddities.”
Here is what the Overwatch 2 team had to say about "oddball" heroes. We also go over the game's hero design philosophy.

Thank you I''m glad to be a true opinion haver

Also yes!! I think it was in the first notepad gamedev stream? Honestly kinda surprised you recognized me from that of all things lol

Balatro, despite literally being poker, actually has an incredible amount of run control in the form of deckfixing, just like most other deck-based roguelikes (Slay the Spire, for example)

I love games like Haste, Have a Nice Death, Ember Knights, Going Under, they're all great, skill-based games
August 14, 2025 at 5:58 PM
I've loved Roguelikes for a *while* but I think the most fun ones are the ones that give you some form of control over your run instead of pure luck

Risk of Rain 2 does this really well with Scrappers and Printers, allowing you to control your items and "build" with a bit of luck, for example

Kitsune *could* be explained through some sort of psychological rage/high induced by the Kitsune's powers

It's very much still possible with tech, especially Overwatch's incredibly futuristic tech, it's just that we've never gotten an actual explanation on it that makes it weird

For the record, here's the two articles in question
Left: www.polygon.com/overwatch-2-...
Right: www.polygon.com/overwatch-2-...

Unless we get a full quote from Daryl I'm not trusting what a Polygon writer who can't even research if Aaron Keller is still the Game Director says about Daryl's words.
August 14, 2025 at 4:27 AM
Like, maybe Daryl DID say that they wanted to move towards conventionally attractive characters, but the lack of a full quote and the poor research from the writer on another article makes me think this is an attempt to sensationalize the interview to bait interactions, which is very much has done
August 14, 2025 at 4:23 AM
Hey can we maybe talk about how the "oddballs" quote is entirely lacking context on the full quote from Daryl, as only the word "oddballs" is quoted

And also the fact the person who wrote that article also wrote an article that calls Aaron Keller "former game director", showing his poor research?
August 14, 2025 at 4:22 AM
I have yet to get a piece with my Brie actually clothed in her normal moth form, so this'll have to do! Hoping this is a fun pick if you do choose me!

Should probably make a followup post here highlighting that it wasn't intentional in case people are thinking this is the OW team's doing when it wasn't

Stadium has a separate team so it can receive the large amounts of care and attention it requires to stay significant as a major, core gamemode, without impacting the level of development given to the rest of the core game, especially given it needs just as much attention as the core game
August 4, 2025 at 11:29 AM
Focusing attention on those niche gamemodes that only a fraction of the playerbase focus their time into just isn't worth it compared to focusing on the core of the game
Should they bring back Copa Lucioball? Probably, it'd be fun. Should they develop more maps for a two-week gamemode? Probably not
August 4, 2025 at 10:59 AM
Yeah, and they prefer to pay attention to the core modes of the game since that is where a vast majority of players play, instead of the rather small, niche group of players that play modes like DM/MH or arcade modes
(Stadium is exempt from this cause, again, it has its own dev team to work on it)
