The Guiding Principles and New Rules document is now in effect.
I think calling a group of friends your squad is weird and confusing so I guess gen x it is.
that's just all the anime creeping in
'squad' is a better translation for 'nakama' than 'friend'
life's a game that you're bound to lose / like using a hammer to pound in screws
fuck up once and you break your thumb / if you're happy at all then you're god damn dumb
that's right we're on a fucked up cruise / God is dead but at least we have booze
bad things happen, no one knows why / the sun burns out and everyone dies

How about this
if it's a chinese game that looks like a ripoff of another game
blizzard's designs for overwatch are in many cases not especially unique so the idea that people would independantly reach similar archetypes is very believable
especially since some of the characters don't actually match in the way it's been presented in some videos - the character with an ice block ability looks pretty un-Mei outside of ice block (which isn't a particularly unique concept. . .)
The idea of going into a stationary shield that's invulnerable to recover health is not too unique but having it skinned as an ice block is p unique.
right, but the question is are they ripping off Overwatch or are they ripping off WoW (since the character archetype is ice mage, the answer is probably WoW. . .)
oh, or it could be ripping of glacius from HoN (probably not this one, although i can't remember if there's an ice block mechanic in dota 2 or league - probably not skinned as ice block. . .)
if it's a chinese game that looks like a ripoff of another game
that was definitely their intention
mystery solved, come along watson
The Chinese have this amazingly blatant disregard for intellectual property.
Like their factories that started churning out shitty copies of those hoverboards almost overnight, and will change again overnight for whatever the next fad is.
my dad complained about my generation all the time when i was a teenager
you have to at least respect kurt cobain he really blew some minds
Speaking of gen x
Sometimes when Kurt cobain or Nirvana come up in conversation I just want to yell, "Stars of the Lid, Labradford, and Earth were 100 times better than Nirvana"
But I don't because it would be a generational betrayal I guess
i dunno it's cool to be all oh i never actually liked nirvana now i think
Nice

Actually it's probably not even shitty copies, it's more like the factories going "OK we made American Company's order, don't turn the machines off yet!"

My favorite story is a Chinese company ripped off Segway and became incredibly profitable. Segway sued but the imitator then outright bought the ailing Segway and the lawsuit disappeared.
oh wait and there's another ice mage with ice block (Lissandra's ult) but I forgot cause I use a non-ice skin for her (The queen of blades one). It's a stasis ability with health recovery if self-cast, and a stun if cast on an enemy.

implying they aren't just producing that shit all in the same factory that the actual hoverboard stuff was produced in just using lower cost shit on the same line
not a doctor, not a lawyer, examples I use may not be fully researched so don't take out of context plz, don't @ me
@skippydumptruck has your wife always thought tattoos were cool/does she have any/did you have tattoos before you met?
@credeiki hmm idk if she always thought they were cool
I have always been into mod I think? she's not into it as much as I am
we went to get first tattoos together in our 20s, but she was kinda resistant each time I pushed for another thing for myself (same with piercings) and then became accepting after
she has had 5 tattoos and had two of them covered up, so she only has 3 visible lol
she went to the guy I really liked who did my sleeve for her latest and has a really nice shoulder blade piece that she's proud of though
she's mentioned doing a couple of kid related ones, but I'd say it's deffo my desire for my own that prompts her to think about what she'd like
shit, if I had my way she'd be covered in tattoos and piercings but err body gotta do what they prefer for their own bodies
my dad complained about my generation all the time when i was a teenager

Stars of the Lid is an American drone-based ambient music duo
How... is that even comparable to Nirvana though? It's like saying "Nirvana sucks man, Beethoven is where it's at."

I've been to Hi-Rez studios. Nice guys. Seems pretty chill. I played smite in alpha.
They probably were copying TF2 if anything but I don't think anyone can lay claim to class based team shooter so everyone that is crying no matter what side they are crying for, needs to stop crying

Yep. They'll use the same molds and just not put on the logo sticker. Or they'll make their own logo sticker with comic sans and broken English.
The biggest difference is that they usually don't do any QA whatsoever on the extra units.
Thousands of hot, local singles are waiting to play at bubbulon.com.
Now that's a good indicator of which generation you belong to - do you remember anti-drug PSAs growing up or do you remember anti-smoking PSAs growing up?
I played Paladins in the alpha. It was a lot more MOBA-like, but they got rid of a lot of those mechanics for the beta and now it just feels like Discount Overwatch.

Because I never want to hear about nirvana again and I'm trying to think of "other guitar-based heroin music from 1994ish"

Hmm yeah my husband is just really against me getting one. And I do think that to some extent people in a long-term committed romantic relationship get some say over the others' appearance; he's certainly respected my aesthetic preferences for me wrt his appearance (maintaining a beard because I like it even though he used to have a strong preference for being clean shaven, which I don't know if he still has). I thought I could convince him by showing him pictures of cool tattoos, or having him imagine what kind of tattoo he would want, but it has had no effect so far.

There's Zhonya's Hourglass for the whole stasis thing, but the ice block bit does more than that.

No variable. No. This is a good one. He realized life was meaningless early on
Hi-Rez is from Georgia. Peach and racism Georgia not the other one.
It is. Its Winter Wyvern.

I didn't know about this squad thing until I saw this commercial on TV and it made me feel old.
Nice

I was looking at the still frame of the video with all the asian characters on it. I assumed that's what we were talking about
traitor
*mouthbreathes over D&D game and cheetos*
the green roadhog character has the same reload animation as roadhog

original steal do not character
We're talking about Paladins, the game currently getting called out as an overwatch clone
