ok so every so often when I'm playing alone in a pub server, someone over voicechat will say something like "let's go boys" or "come on lads" or something else innocuous that's meant to be encouraging and helpful but it lands on the implication that we are all boys
(I don't tend to class "guys" as being gendered in the same way, weirdly enough)
and then I feel kinda awkward cuz there's a part of me that wants to correct them but then I also don't want to be THAT person who has to draw attention to the fact that we are not all boys
I used to be used to it, but then I'm like, should I still be used to it? it used to annoy me, then I accepted it, and now it's just making me sad (probably since this is the first FPS I've played in years), cuz how does that sort of thing change unless people point out that there are girls playing, too?
it's happened a fair bit in the last few days and has been easy to ignore cuz I'm usually playing with friends
but yeah on my lonesome it seems to be more noticeable and happen more and I don't really know what to do about it
It doesn't happen all the time, on average it's been a third of the games I've played. It's almost all exclusively Australian accents I hear though so maybe that's part of it?
@Goose! something I noticed in your Junkrat potg vids: you don't have to type things like /group. When the chat prompt is open, just hit tab to cycle through the chats. Just in case you didn't know!
Also if it's not, you don't need the whole word. /g /t /m etc all work. Can also use tab to cycle

I'll take misgendering over my usual experience with pub chat, the one I tried I got called the N and F word about 30 Times in about4 minutes. Haven't turned it back on since
A point of view I share (I looked up the skin in question, and hoo boy), expressed very well. So of course the comment section is a fucking cesspool of "get over it" dingleberries, because internet
rando attitudes are always a crapshoot, a good enough reason to disable voicechat on its own. but i also know that unless i did push-to-talk, i would be inflicting my team with incessant general cursing, as that is just how i PVP. stream of consciousness filth, directed at the universe.

If you ever decide to write an autobiography, I believe you've found your title.
Ya, I'm enjoying Torb's right click until people learn how deadly it is.
Atm my favorite thing to do is to run past Reinhart's shield turn and right click x2-3 and just destroy him, no one is prepared for that at all and they should be

The first few are asking if this post is satire and how if we didn't dress up as other races that would be the true racism
ok do after a day of playing symmetra with the tips I got from people last thread I am feeling her much more. I still think her altfire is poor but getting in there and jumping around like a lunatic with her primary fire beam on someone isolated or otherwise occupied is actually hilariously effective, at least on my fellow scrub tier players. I am forced to admit she's more than just a teleporter and bonus health dispenser.

"Why do you care about a skin? It's just a skin!"
Yeah man it's just a thing in a game so popular AMAZON IS SELLING OUT OF IT
What's the harm in cultural dilution of an already-marginalized people, normalized on a fairly massive scale? Friggin' SJWS!!!

Alt Fire may rarely ever hit, but it's even got uses beyond that.
I like to spam a little field of alt fire, just a horde of little balls down a chokepoint, forces certain dodging patterns, and makes for easy cleanup for your sniper.

I'm curious if the one islander Roadhog skin has the same sorta trouble around it. Don't they have a similar history of abuse and appropriation also?
If you can Pharah ult and have her finish the entire sentence, whether you even kill anyone or not, surviving her entire Ultimate phrase should be auto -potg rofl.
Like, I'm pretty sure the actual line is " Justice Rains From Abarrrrrrrrrrrgggg" at this point.

Legitimately asking, because I don't know.
roadhog might legitimately be of maori descent, albeit interbred with colonial british settlers
catch is that it's a "maybe" because there's not a ton of detail about him, and is vague maybe-not-appropriation really amazing

I don't know, either; I only heard about the Pharah sitch because somebody sent me the link to that post. I'm not familiar with the Roadhog issue

His belt buckle says Bullets Are My Favorite
This is probably the only game where I've gotten up from my computer and paced around after a particularly brutal thrashing
Alright

The few times I've put the headset on in shooters, I've never heard any sort of rallying cry of any type
It's usually just annoyed curses
Americans are assholes
Also if it's not, you don't need the whole word. /g /t /m etc all work. Can also use tab to cycle

yeah slurs are no fun, I had some of that during the beta but not so much since release
yeah I think muting team chat is the way to go but it's so USEFUL when it's working well
Which is a little weird I guess, since I don't actually talk very much myself.
But yeah, it's (usually) nice listening to folks waffle while they play.

linking this again
your claim checks out
hooray!
god I love playing as her
How did you hack Overwatch to make her say Above instead of a death cry? :rotate:
edit: about to hop on , anyone want to join me?
She says it in the replay when I inevitably die, but won't say it when I actually activate it

she can be hooked by roadhog and it cancels the ult in progress, I dunno about other means
probably other stuns will do it too
