Hey y'all!

What are you playing? I finally starting playing Alan Wake 2 and wow I absolutely love it. I think Remedy are the most interesting devs in the AAA space and I am all on board for their connected universe! Also more binding of isaac :p

I decided to just randomly try Overwatch again.

So many changes since I last played.

It really does seem like they're just throwing shit at the wall and seeing what sticks.

Zero direction. Benefit of that? Pure chaos. As a Junk main (when I DPS, which isn't as often as it used to be), the lack of direction and wildly inconsistent game design speaks to me on an emotional level.

As usual, it's more enjoyable when you don't take it even remotely seriously and just fuck around. Turns out you can ironically accomplish more when you're not putting yourself and/or everyone else under pressure. Gives you incentive to experiment and pull off some weirdly effective shit that usually only works once, but still feels great anyway.

Win? Laugh. Lose? Laugh. It's not that serious.

I'll get sick of it soon and the toxicity will rear its head at some point, but right now I'm enjoying it for what it is, even if the game is an absolute shell of what it used to be.

Edit: Lol, already got sick of it again, so ditching that now.
