    they caused the predicted incident by trying to prevent it. if they wouldn't have acted on it the event would have never of happened

    what a twist

    it would make m night shamamamamalayan proud

    His name is Shyamalan. This joke is no longer cool.

    Because HE is no longer cool.

    Well no, because it's no longer cool to make a punchline out of somebody's name just because it sounds foreign.

    Zarya should have just projected a shield barrier on the kid when he over extended into the gorilla enclosure and then he
    Whoa I blacked out, I have been playing too much Overwatch this weekend trying to get a ponytail skin for Zarya before the summer event ended.

    I did get the skin, though.

    the boy who fell in was black i believe, and there was a ton of "mother should bear all the responsibility for the gorillas death, how dare she not pay attention to her kid for 5 seconds, what a terrible mother, send her to jail, etc etc etc"

    there was considerable backlash

    The same thing happened with that white kid eaten by a croc at Disneyland

    I just thought it was a tired and disrespectful joke after like the third time I saw it. I've been complaining about it for a long time but I admit I'm coming from an 'it's not funny' perspective. I get your point though for sure.

    like we'd be having multi page discussions about the man and his work and people couldn't be bothered to learn to spell his name so they had to constantly joke about it. or they just didn't care enough to not make the joke and I thought he deserved more respect than that. not even as a fan, I don't like his work, but if you're gonna spend that much time talking about him at least spell the man's name right.

    There certainly were people saying that, but at no point did the zeitgeist become about the crocodile. There is absolutely a racial component to the harambe shit.

    5 loot boxes on the last day
    a single epic out of all of it
    the lucio juggling emote
    so I got all of lucios unlocks.
    I really wanted the Mercy skin too. Its one of her few good looking skins. Her legendary ones are novel but dont look very good to me.

    Bless your heart.

    I believe Don Lemon was bothered that people seemed more angry about the death of an innocent gorilla than the death of innocent black men across the country

    but that's more tangential, not really about the killing itself

    the issue is goblins and orcs and drow are sapient and the game is trying to come up with an excuse to have ultra-violence
    (for stuff like mindflayers, or demons, it is less problematic although the terms they use are still annoying - its less 'evil' and more 'going to come in conflict with humanoids')

    mindflayer ethicists in deep arguments

    well these humanoids have no telepathy it's not like they can even feel pain as we know it while we devour their psyche

    yes but they appear to react to stimulus and seem distressed by the mindshattering, surely we can surmise that they are cognizant of the process at some level

    okay but their mental energies are so fucking tasty is the thing

    The idea of a "meme dump"

    Memes being churned out because they're so easy to make, just raw dumb ideas sluicing from the minds of internet addicts onto websites where we can flick through them until we see one whose particular configuration pleases our particular idiosyncrasies and chortle uselessly

    I am so pleased

    Yes our cyberpunk dystopia does have some good qualities.

    Though I believe meme dumps might be debatable as one of those good qualities

    do you know how fast kids can move when they decide to do something they know they're not supposed to? No one is perfect. That some people are lucky enough to never experience terrible consequences from losing sight of a kid for 1 minute does not mean that the people who do are necessarily irresponsible or evil.

    no I don't think so

    crocodiles alligators are vile and evil and inhabit swamps like that

    a zoo with a gorilla that is an endangered species is not even in the same fucking ballpark

    crocodiles hardly eat anyone in the wild

    but they're also not endangered

    but mainly: crocodiles are reptiles, gorillas look humanlike. People are dumb.

    I did get the skin, though.

    Last night around 10 pm I was about to call it quits on getting any Olympics skin. I had played 10 matches straight, I was frustrated, and my reward box I just earned was my last chance. I opened it up and bellybutton Tracer - the best skin of them all - jumped out.

    I only opened 5-ish lootboxes over the course of the olympics thing, so my bad I guess for not spamming more games, but I certainly didn't get anything worthwhile, except for a reddish-tinged Reaper skin which is possibly better than the base one but possibly not, still haven't decided.
