Upgradeable machines with regularly upgraded, more powerful graphics and cpu? With keyboard and mouse support? Oh, my, somebody might even call it a PC!!!
Maybe if PCs were completely locked down via the OS. Then we'd just call it a Mac. |

| Man, fuck mouse producers. Previous Cooler Master mouse3 failed after months, and the Corsair I subsequently purchased is now losing tracking after eight (and doesn't track AT ALL on a brand new mousepad). I'll end up going to $10 RadioShack mice before long. |

| The problem is medics aren't that vulnerable. Lucio constantly attacks while healing, is pretty fast, and in many cases is able to heal himself faster than he is damaged. He's almost as annoying to fight as Tracer. And Mercy is like a fucking grasshopper, any time you get near her whoosh she just flies off somewhere else. Widowmaker is the best way to reliably kill medics, but fuck if I'm playing another fucking sniper in a game like this. Just fuck it. Speaking of, why the FUCK is Zenyatta killed in ONE BODY SHOT. |

But it's cosmetics only, no improvement to your actual character.
You can't play good if you don't look good. |

| I've always found Sennheiser products to have the best packaging. Besides being ultra sturdy, the last headphones I got from them were closed with a loop of plastic instead of tape, so there was zero chance of any damage to the box upon opening. Classy! |

Took me a little longer to realize 8 + 5 = 313 is wrong.
Nope
Not sure if "nope" means "yes this problem is wrong" or "no, you're wrong". So for clarification:
8 + 5 = 13
8 - 5 = 3
concatenate: 13, 3
Every line in the link is formatted:

However, offering to remove data caps for people who purchase TV service probably isn't some maniacal get-rich scheme from Bend Broadband, but rather a way of mitigating some or all of the equally-fucking-stupid costs in running an ISP.
US ISPs get far more out of customers than they pay into their services. Time Warner is comically bad, renting out ten-year-old modems at $10 a month, and doing nothing to update infrastructure. Yeah I'm sure in the boondocks it costs a lot to lay/maintain infrastructure... but I live in a metro city. Not near one, IN one. And the service and prices are abysmal.
And for the record, once the infrastructure is down, there is essentially no cost to the provider in transmitting data. Something on the order of fractions of pennies per GB.
I don't get why everyone thinks they're imposing new caps on people who don't buy TV service.
Because they are trying to make people pay for service they don't want or need in order to get something else they should have to begin with (which is extortion). AT&T now does the same thing, except they also offer a $30 monthly fee to internet-only customers to bypass their cap. It's certainly not as bad as cell phone overage charges, but $10 per 50GB over is nothing to sneeze at when single games can now be that large. |

What is Doom 2016 missing?
I guess since it has Denuvo protection it can't be modded.
Piracy is one reason why the server-based, free to play model has come into vogue: it's easier to prevent piracy. But it makes for awful games.
And frequently awful games (without demos, no less) make for piracy. |

A hero does not need to be good in every situation.
Except Symmetra is only good in VERY SPECIFIC situations, and again, ONLY with good team support. Her weapon is mostly unusable (M1 range is basically spitting distance, M2 is laughably slow), her shield is pointlessly ineffectual, and her sentries have too long a CD and are too easily killed by random dmg. Meanwhile the teleporter has only six charges (what????), doesn't recharge while deployed, and is fucking ANNOUNCED TO THE ENEMY TEAM (like D.Va's for some inexplicable reason). |

The heroes are great, they all have their own role and they do them well. Imho I don't think they need more abilities or anything.
At least three of them need serious work: D.Va doesn't even have a RMB ability. Bastion is hopeless except against completely new players, and a boring mess regardless. Symmetra is awful without a completely capable team to support her (ironic since she's a Support character).
And I don't see how it never occurred to anyone they didn't need to have a hitscan sniper in their game just because it's an FPS; Widow and her rifle are antithetical to the very nature of the game.
Then there's the player interrupt skills. It's NEVER good to have something outright remove all control from a player, and this game has three. TF2 had the baseball but that was added late and never more than a joke weapon. This has three characters built around freezing then killing other players. |
