Life comes at you fast, and to help prove the point, tackle football season is
now once again upon us. Tonight is a terrific opener for the NFL as the Ravens
take on the champion Chiefs. There's another game tomorrow night in Brazil, of
all places. Brazilians love football, but Pele didn't wear a helmet, and that
passion is directed at an entirely different sport, so that should be
interesting. Anyway, this means there's still time to get in on the ground floor
of the
Pigskin Pick'em 2024 Blue's News Group (password "bn"). It's free to join,
free to play, and there's nothing at stake but pride, but you can't put a price
on that. Feel free to share the link and password, and good luck to all
participants.

Apparently it's political to have characters others don't want to fuck.
So it's a DEI thing? But how's that different than Overwatch with chars like Zarya and Mei and (apparently) Soldier 76? Overwatch sold 50 million copies by the way.
From my own eye, the chars in Concord were just uninspired, boring, and derivative. The failure of the game didn't have to do anything with their DEI-ness. If you're going to build a hero shooter, then you need interesting heroes. And there's a marketing failure here as well. Blizzard spent a year at least building hype for its game with its excellent animated shorts. Concord was kind of released with little fanfare.
If Russia stops fighting, the war ends. If Ukraine stops fighting, Ukraine ends. Slava Ukraini!
