y'all should familiarize yourself with what the Average American is consuming entertainment-wise!
Overwatch was amazing until it wasn't. The game that owned game culture of 2016 alongside Undertale and Pokemon Go -- the game that made Team! Fortress! 2! sit down and take notes -- went extinct as the leaded gasoline of eSports filled its enclosed atmosphere and the sequel literally overwrote it.
"Eventually it wasn't just Activision and Blizzard who had financial stakes in Overwatch, but many other investors, all of whom started to express their opinion."

"What ultimately broke me and my Blizzard career was I got called into the CFO's office and he sits me down and he saysβhe gives me a date which at the time was 2020 and was going to slip to 2021, but at the time it was 2020βand he said: 'Overwatch has to make [redacted] in 2020, and then every year after that it needs a recurring revenue of [redacted]' and then he says to me 'if it doesn't do [redacted] we're going to lay off 1,000 people, and that's going to be on you.' And that was the biggest fuck you moment I've had in my career, it felt surreal to be in that condition."
This is a deranged thing to say to someone wtf. www.pcgamer.com/games/fps/ov...
"Something ineffable happens when you write down a thought:
You think something you did not know you could or would think and it leads you to another though. The process of writing itself leads to previously unthought thoughts [and] crystallizes half-formulated or unformulated thoughts"

tapping the sign because people keep asking why the market believes trump when he says "no seriously the war is over!"
A problem with an opponent that hits back is that the more Trump goes "Whelp, I'm pooped. A good time was had by all" the more Iran feels like they're winning and can humiliate him.

A list of candidates for President with whom one random voter sides. The names include Cornel West, Elizabeth Warren, Gretchen Whitmer, JB Pritzker, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Gavin Newsom, and Bernie Sanders.
A list of political parties allegedly similar to the beliefs of a certain voter. For some fucking reason the Green party is top of the list, despite their uselessness.
I feel that istandwith.com has some calibrating yet to do, but it feels broadly accurate.
For the safety of the United States, of course, Newsom's self-serving ambition must be squelched and the Greens must be locked in an anechoic chamber.
This is false.
Jamal Harrison Bryant, a Megachurch pastor, has said the boycott is over. He is not leaders, plural. He and his church were not the ones to start the calls for boycott.
Nekima Levy Armstrong, who founded the Racial Justice Network, and other Minnesota civil rights activists were.
Frankly no country of conscience should humor FIFA with their presence until they rescind their sycophantic fascist-happying prize.
The Great Gatsby notably became popular because it was issued to American GIs, many of whom had an 8th grade reading level, during World War II.

Alysa Liu on Eileen Gu, via The New York Times "I think people are hypocritical for shaming her for representing China ... Y'all would have told her to go back to China. Now that they're back in China, you're mad."
