I’m late, but I wanted to get my pals takes on this, too. For me, the biggest thing might be being 6v6. A single extra player on each team can go a long way towards making more interesting team compositions.

Both the pals I’ve been playing with brought up the “team-up” mechanic. We’ve been having a good time playing around with these duos/trios, and there’s definitely a lot of interesting things they can do with it in the future, even if it kinda seems like a balancing headache.

Then, of course, it’s also got the value of being a Marvel IP. That’s not specifically better or worse than Overwatch, but it’s definitely already helped the game attract so many players.

I wouldn’t have the confidence to call it “the Overwatch killer” or anything, but it’ll certainly be a real competitor as Overwatch bleeds itself out.

Marvel Rivals has been the most fun my pals and I have had with a hero-shooter since the launch of Overwatch. It’s refreshing.

.ml users will never not be the funniest part of this site tbh

I’ve never been one to outright support vigilante justice on account of believing that everyone ought to face the same trials and go through the same systems to ensure justice.

I’m not an idiot, though, and I realize a system where our rich are held accountable to the same degree as our poor is incredibly unrealistic/borderline impossible.

“When peace is impossible, violence is inevitable.” Paraphrasing, but given the system we find ourselves in, this was just a matter of time.

God when did racism, homophobia, and misogyny become the new opinions you can hold instead of developing an identity

Honestly? Maybe sometime around mid-late 2015 after Donald announced his first run for president.

The moment he was taken seriously, it emboldened all the chuds.

Upon further thought, I believe that year also marked the start of what led to Brexit as the UK Conservative Party won a majority. Not a great year.

It’ll be great to actually play Drunken Master Monk instead of just being an Open Fist Monk who drank all the time.

I’d be willing to bet a significant amount of the downvotes stem from this meme being nearly indistinguishable from something that gets posted on Parlor or Truth Social.

It’s hard to tell whether or not they truly don’t understand, or they do, and they’re just saying shit to rile up their base.

Not sure how much it matters either way, though. Consciously or not, it’s still the spread of misinformation.

Gotta grow big and strong

I love how fuzzy they are.

The “self-help” circuit always felt like a grift, so I guess going all out on the grifting was naturally the next step.

They would have come to Lemmy if it was the platform they wanted. We can bitch and moan about them wanting something that we think is against their best interests, but what’ll that do?

I don’t really get all the pessimism. Even if folks are right in saying there’ll be a bait and switch, this is people moving to a new platform en masse. If Bluesky goes to shit there’s more reason to believe users would just move again.

In the meantime, as members of the fediverse, we should be using Bluesky being “decentralized” as a way to ease people into actually decentralized platforms.

I mean, yes? Although generally speaking, the word execution is reserved for cases where they’ve been deemed to deserve it.

For example, most of the executions ordered during the Reign of Terror during the French Revolution were simply murders of people who were even suspected of dissent.

Did they post this and delete the account immediately after? Anyone else getting an error when trying to view OP’s profile?

SmartTube for TV and ReVanced/uYouPlus for Andriod/IOS devices. SmartTube can be tricky to set up depending on the TV, but the mobile apps are relatively simple to get working.

It’s already delusional to think you helped by not voting, but I’m not gonna listen to a dipshit who’s just gonna sit on their ass and blame anyone who actually tried to protect the rights of queer communities. Fuck off.

Honestly, I think it’ll be worth drilling the fact that it’s the Republican Party, not just Trump. Otherwise, folks deep in the cult will just use the current figurehead as a scapegoat for everything wrong with the party without acknowledging that the party itself works against them.

They probably will, anyway, but it’s worth a shot.

I mean, yes, I am surprised that they sat on their asses and tacitly chose the even more genocidal candidate.

I get not wanting to make the choice between eating dirt or wet shit, but sitting this one out was just asking for wet shit.

I can’t tell if this comment is ignorant or malicious, but I’m not sure if the difference even matters here.
