I’m split on this. On one hand I am okay with people pushing past healthy limits to explore the limits of human physicality be it enhanced or natural. I think there are reasons to do that both from a competition and personal sense of self discovery perspective. This seems different, this seems like a publicity stunt… Read more

This feels like the video game equvelant of binge drinking towards alcoholism. This isnt healthy at all. Read more

As long as Boomers act exaggeratedly offended when they hear it, OK Boomer will live on.

I wonder if that pawn shop owner will wonder why so many people are stopping by and never entering his store. Read more

‘F’ is also used in Twitch streaming, whenever a signal interruption occurs or there is a ton of latency issues, everyone spams F to let the streamer know they lost the connection. It may have been used ironically at first, but now its a very quick way to give a streamer feedback for connection loss Read more

Press F to Deadspin Forever. Read more

Its weird how F went from meme, to ironic serious, to unironic, to this weird semi ironic meme which is sometimes serious depending on the situation. Read more

I’m on board for all of it. Even if OW2 content is a bust, we can just keep on truckin’ with the PVP content. Fine with me. Read more

Confused why this is a sequel instead of an expansion. Especially since it doesn’t drastically update the core elements of the gameplay like you’d imagine a sequel would. OW’s firstly been a pvp game with light story. There’s barely any update to pvp save for things we already would get like new characters/maps/gamemod… Read more

He did actually say ‘I’m sorry’, which makes it more of an apology than most, but you can ‘accept accountability’ all you want - we see other C-level execs say those empty words too. Read more

it wasn’t a “tough hearthstone esports moment”, it was a political nightmare. Based on the quote in the article here (don’t know if there was more to the apology left unquoted), it doesn’t even sound like he’s addressing what it was actually about. Read more

This is fact. And also the damn callouts your character yells at the top of their lungs. Not only can the other team hear you, but they yell if the enemies pinky toe is on your screen somewhere. “CONTACT!” I look everywhere on my screen frantically, then just end up dying. It’s such a terrible feature. Read more

I used to always get accused of aimbotting and wallhacking in games like Counterstrike Source because I’d wear a cheap set of headphones and listen for footsteps and could tell where they were coming from. I’d even obstruct paths with cabinets and stuff so that if they were sneaking, I’d still hear them trying to get… Read more

WeWork is just trying to follow their new “stick to esports” mandate Read more

When I was younger, I was really into playing Magic: The Gathering.  However, for the past 15 years I barely touched the game...until last month.  I decided to give Magic: The Gathering Arena a try on PC and...yeah, I’m hooked again.  At least now I have a bit more money to spend on the game.

My best advice to beginners is don’t be overwhelmed by the intricacies of the rules. Learn the basic rules (phases, casting costs, attacking, etc) and then learn the rest of them as you play. It’s kinda like D&D in the sense that you could read every compendium before you even started making a character but you really… Read more
