I am not much of a pvper either but Blizzard games are good time wasters and dammit, they do quality work.

 

Once I stopped obsessing about raw victories (heck it's not like it's competitive mode) I found I really enjoy the game for what it is, and it's very fun.

I've been avoiding them regularly due to their insistence on directx 9 games (outside of WoW) and I'm not that interested in MOBA style stuff.  This is the first game of theirs in a really long time I actually wanted, just don't know when I'll be able to get it or how much I'd play it.

Blizzard announced the first new hero to be added to the game since release. Her name is Ana and she's a support sniper.

The ptr server is going up today with a new patch for various buffs and nerfs to heros but I'm not sure if she'll be playable yet. Also they're introducing a hero limit of one hero per side in competitive, which is nice.

I think it's a great game but I hardly ever play it. It's geared towards e-sports and I found that so many nerds play it so much I just get 1 shot over and over. Too much for an old fart like me with slow reflexes.

Had Overwatch from launch it's a typical Blizzard game, a lot of fun to play.  For me it's great I can pick it up and play a few rounds and then come back a few days later and do the same again without worry about falling behind everyone.  Played a few competitive games but they are a whole different league (as expected) to the more casual quick games.  And damn that new map does look good.

Blizzard changes Overwatch "gg ez" messages into something very different

Safe spaces in video games because people can't handle words these days. What's next?

 

Blizzard should take a different approach and tell the people who are offended when people say gg ez the old saying "stick and stones may break my bones but worlds will never hurt me". Geez, grow up people.

 

And no I 've never said gg ez before, I usually don't say anything at the end of a match, good or bad. I just don't like the idea of hiding the big bad words from people who can't handle them.

imho Genji should not be able to dodge and reflect Lucio's soundwave attacks!

Well, as for that, I don't have a problem with it so much as I do with the actual hitbox of his deflect. Have you seen the video of that? The hitbox for it is about the size of Reinhardt's shield. I hope we see an adjustment made to that as well.

Honestly I had no issue with Genji before. Maybe his ult was a bit too long to counter but I really didn't had much trouble dealing with Genji players.

Well it just depends really, at rank 55+ in competitive on pc he was easily wiping teams and it came down to which team had the better genji.

 

Blizzard has they don't want any one hero to have that big of an impact and be a solo carry which is what he's been. It's a team game after all and a team should depend on each of it's members to win. Besides that his 3 hit animation cancel combo was a bug that needed to be fixed.

Is it just me or the quality of the graphics in game have just gotten better (and I'm not talking about the new aesthetic changes in the menu).

 

It's as if the graphics have gotten crisper, more real, and the field of view has become wider.

      What about HL3?

      But building your own.. what? You can't build anything like the Steam Machine yourself. Even trying to get close costs a good deal more. Even just the CPU cooler in their price comparison is as big as the entire Steam Machine. If you want a regular gaming PC, then by all means, build that. If you want a a small console-like PC for the living room that is good for gaming, I'm not sure what else is a better deal. In the GN review, they only mentioned a small form factor Dell, which is like twice the size and hundreds of dollars more expensive.

      Those are some popular multiplayer games. But hardly "all". Just those that don't work on Linux currently due to specific anti-cheat implementations. I think it's also fair to point out the literally thousands of games that don't work on the PS5. And it's not locked at 1080p. That's the default, which you can change.
    • Ubuntu Livepatch arrives on Arm64 to eliminate system reboots for kernel updates

      By zikalify · Posted

      Ubuntu Livepatch arrives on Arm64 to eliminate system reboots for kernel updates by Paul Hill Canonical has just announced that its Livepatch service now supports computers with Arm64 processors. For those who are not familiar, Livepatch allows users to apply important kernel updates without any service interruption or rebooting. While home users will benefit from this, it’s even more important for critical machines that absolutely should not be going offline at all. The feature is available as part of Ubuntu Core 26 for Arm64 and Ubuntu Core 20 and onwards for AMD64. According to Canonical, this will improve the security of systems that aren’t security-maintained daily or weekly, and it helps organizations work towards Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) compliance. If you are familiar with Ubuntu, you probably know that most packages can be updated without having to restart the system. There is one big exception to this, and that’s the kernel; it typically requires you to reload the system to boot into the new kernel. With Livepatch, Canonical has done something so that you don’t need to restart to begin using the new kernel. Aside from Ubuntu Core 26, users with Arm64 chips running Ubuntu 26.04 LTS can also use Livepatch. If you want to learn more about Livepatch, check out its product page. There, you can also find a button to join Ubuntu Pro (it’s free for several home devices) so that you can enable Livepatch. By linking your computer to Ubuntu Pro, you will also extend the life of your Ubuntu install from five years to ten years. If you are running Ubuntu, let us know in the comments if you have been looking forward to this feature on your ARM-based computer. If you’ve had a compatible AMD64 machine for a while and never used this feature, let us know why in the comments!
