  • I’ve been playing pretty regularly since 2017. It’s the only multiplayer game that I play, since I normally don’t like letting my teammates down. I enjoy seeing the puzzle pieces of a random team and trying to figure out how to play in a way that will make them work. At its best, the matches are close and you feel like “It was winnable if I had…” They’ve spent a lot of time giving people the ability to avoid players you don’t want on your team, report trolls, and stick to the game modes that don’t make you angry. They’ve never known if the game should be competitive or fun, and so it’s never quite been successful at either. Most of us who play the game would not recommend it. If you start a match and say, “Anybody here ready to have some fun?!” Everyone will say “No, this is Overwatch.” And they’re right, and that’s okay.











  • I think this is a common misconception about how electability works in a first-past-the-post voting system. There is no benefit to going with a compromise position or reaching out to moderates. The number of people who can be persuaded to vote one way or another is miniscule. The number of people who can be persuaded to vote or not to vote is massive.

    If people are excited or scared, they come out to vote. With disenfranchisement primarily focused on progressive and minority voters, there’s not much left to gain in scaring regressive conservatives more, they already vote at high numbers.
