You can be the change you want to see in the world, you can draw Mina trying to ult and getting squashed by Knockdown

I'm not done, I'm doing the bee queen too

Oh also, ultimately Deadlock is still a closed beta and stuff like ranks and wins/losses quite literally have no meaning. The only reason *to* play the game is to have fun, there's no incentive to be on it aside from enjoying playing it. Improving at it can be done during that, but fun comes first!

Obvious caveat is that not everyone's motivated the same way! I managed to solve a lot of my frustration by channelling into self-improvement, but that may not work for you. Just the advice that's worked best for me as someone who used to get really mad at OW/DL but has largely stopped afterwards

so long as you're actively learning. Take misplays as opportunity to think what you could've done different, try and pay attention to what causes what, that sort of thing

Can definitely be hard to do in the middle of the match, but it definitely helped me have more fun by focusing on that instead-

I think the harsh truth with online pvp games like this is that you will always feel inadequate until you have something telling you straight up you aren't

What I've learned from that feeling is that you need to push it to the side and *focus* on improving. Teach yourself that it's okay to be bad-

Unironically you're one of my absolute favourite artists, even aside from also being into the freakier stuff you draw your finished works just always look sooo good, and even the sketches are super fun and hot too!

In other words your art is absolutely worth the wait cause it's always so well-made!

Ohhh this one won!! I'm so so excited to see it once it's public, the preview already looks suuper fun!

a little com for Gooseworse! always ALWAYS watch out for darts with glowing liquid in them, sometimes its poison and sometimes it turns you into a big rubber water filled inflatable dragon....

One thing I can say at least is that you're not really missing out on much strategically if you do! People barely even talk strategy in Masters+ (where I am), a majority of the time it's just salt towards other players. I can't imagine it's much better in the lower ranks where someone new would be

I hate to say but the genuine advice to follow is to just mute text/voice chats to avoid the hate if it's tiring you out

It sucks because you can totally have fun interactions with people! But it's not worth the relentless toxicity that comes your way for being bad because you're new

Longer hair is very cute and the eyelash stripes looking more like mascara is crazy work, very very good changes I think

He's not taking the feedback well

That thing looks like a giant gummy candy and I want it so bad

guhh you draw things so shiny and soft it's so damn good every single time, I need to be squashed under all that...

Makes me feel really bad about not only Martin's investment, but also the investment of all the fans that want to see Marble Machine X actually succeed. The man at the wheel is just too stuck in the idea of his pipe dream build that he seems to just take two steps back for every one step forward

But then YT suggested Ivan Miranda's Marble Clock series to me when the first video was uploaded, and it's so surreal seeing a guy start to develop an absurd (if not *far* less complex) marble project as well, but actually make genuine progress every video and get closer to his end-goal as well??

I was only really introduced to it a few years ago, and only followed it for a short while until I read comments and realized that he was getting stuck into a loop of trying to be perfect and risking old failures because of it, which made me stop, not wanting to get invested because of his handling

Toon-ish characters are allowed to be perverts because if they're misbehaving you can just squash them to shut them up, and then you're both happy

Ass n beans for @chlorinecatz.bsky.social !!

I mean, hell, people make fun of them for removing the 2, but Aaron's had interviews where he explains the reasoning. It's not to "act like it didn't happen" like some say, it's to focus on the future of the game, and say that they're committed to what they have and that there won't ever be an "OW3"

Honestly, I think the biggest difference with OW(2) is the communication from the devs. They talk so much, devs show up in stream chats, they explain what they're doing and why. Aaron's directorship is probably the best thing to ever happen to OW and people barely talk about it!

Yeahhh, totally valid to wanna stay away after all of that! Early OW2 was handled poorly largely because of Kaplan ditching 1's development for PvE, resulting in little work being done for 2's PvP release, and Kotick's grimy hands getting all over it for the monetization push

(Sorry for the reply spam, I typed it all at once and had to split it up... Hate how badly the 300 character limit stifles proper discussion lol, big reason why I barely try to interact, but I care a lot about OW so I felt like trying)
