When i'm in a terrible decision making contest and my opponent is Blizzard

Addressing some incomplete info posted early about our Overwatch 2 Battle Pass – we'll be sharing all details ahead of launch, but want to confirm that new Overwatch 2 heroes will be available on the free track of the Battle Pass.

— Jon Spector (@Spex_J) September 8, 2022

Extra Context: For all of overwatch 1, all heroes were given to all players when they released.

Genius idea, especially with there now only being one tank per team. You're a tank player and missed the battlepass with the hero that would be the best counter? Well, screw you, especially with a game that's built on counterswitching.

I swear, OW2 is getting worse and worse with every piece of news I read. Doesn't help that nearly next to nothing of the initial announcement a few years ago survived.

Queen Elizabeth II has died, Buckingham Palace announces

Queen Elizabeth II has died, Buckingham Palace has announced.

www.bbc.co.uk

Its official.


Oh ****.

 

[Schnee117]

Ding Dong the Queen is dead

 

[CannonStreak]

No jokes about the queen being dead, please. No matter who she was, such jokes are insensitive.

Nah, **** the queen

My guy she died of old age, her death is hardly a tragedy

Also it's hard to feel sympathy for someone with as much influence as her (not to mention her nation's many, many crimes)

 

[Schnee117]

Never forget she covered for her pedo son.

 

[Jondolio]

Didn't know about that, yikes

 

[CannonStreak]

Regardless, it is still insensitive to joke or say things like that to anyone. What if it was any of you who died that people joked about? Would you want that? It matters not if you were not like her.

 

[Noipoi]

I just wonder who's gonna step up and rule England with an iron fist for the next century.

 

[Dutch Raikuna]

I wouldn't be around to hear it. Six feet under plus afterlife is good soundproofing.

I never understood that logic.

But if you could, would you want that?

No excuses.

Well none of us ruled over an empire, desperately tried to keep a bunch of countries within it (or the commonwealth for that matter), covered for a pedophile and did nothing in the form of reparations to the countries the empire actively ****ed over so there's just the small difference there I'm afraid.

If it were me I simply would make sure I wasn't an awful person before dying, haven't done anything more illegal than cycling without a light so I'd say I'm doing pretty good

I did say it matters not if you were not like her. You seemed to have missed that.

 

[TheMightyP]

Dark Brandon does it again

 

[GilTheGreat19]

Well to anyone who mourns the lost of Her Majesty, I send my condolences

A lot of stuff will be changing tho for sure. Charles III is now gonna be king. His face will be on the British dollar currency, and not Elizabeth's anymore, etc

 

[Deleted member]

Normally I tend to stay silent, but like, what the hell? Joking about the death of a person is perfectly fine, but saying this guy's

name out loud gets censored? Some of the moderation on here sure can be a little, funky, to say the least, given some of the things I've seen getting a pass. But this, I think, takes the cake.

Sure, you're free to celebrate and be happy or whatever, but I don't think what's supposed to be a family friendly messgae board about funny woohoo mascot characters beating each other up is the right place for that.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

Lmao so the queen dying has made the UK ban comedy from tv for 11 days, for nearly 2 weeks, laughing is illegal for Bri'ish people. Go on Lizzy, keep being awful even in death

 

[Dutch Raikuna]

I did say it matters not if you were not like her. You seemed to have missed that.

No offense dude but you don't understand from some of our perspective.

Its sad but there's always the political side. A few of us are Scottish or Irish but will never feel connected to the Monarchy. Events have been done deep.

 

[Schnee117]

I wonder if Lizzie's occupying the same spot in hell as Thatcher

 

[GilTheGreat19]

SHES DEAD is trending in the U.S. and the Royal Family's tweet hit 1M likes on Twitter

Jeez dude

 

[CannonStreak]

Oh I do. I wasn’t even trying to defend her or her actions. Never was. I was just saying it is rude to joke about someone’s death.

Not that I saw you doing that in particular, but…

I do understand there were gripes, if that is even the right word.

 

[Noipoi]

It’s gonna be one of those days on the boards huh?

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

Yeah, shame the queen died but, like, how do you expect me to feel sympathy for someone who ruled a country that colonized and stole stuff from other countries, **** up tons of places and did nothing to stop it

 

[TheMightyP]

The slander all over social media jesus remind me to not live a life where I get RIP BOZO trending when I kick the bucket

 

[TMNTSSB4]

this has been a chaotic week

 

[Noipoi]

this has been a chaotic week

If only there was some way to control chaos.

Today is no laughing matter.

Released 6 years ago, Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Spirit of Justice saw Phoenix visit an old friend - and learn about local Khura'in laws in the process. Meanwhile, Apollo and Athena deal with their own trials and tribulations back home. pic.twitter.com/plCcSRFs0g

It has been 6 years since the last time we saw a new Phoenix Wright game

Anyways who's getting Splat 3 tomorrow?

Wonder if mods will be locking the thread soon.

I hope so. The amount of hate is way too much.

 

[FazDude]

I won't pretend that the Queen or the UK government as a whole is very good. Let me preface this message by saying that. The UK's done some very bad things over the years, and the Queen's death doesn't erase that. That said, I do think there is a time and place to discuss these kinds of issues, and I don't think not even an hour post-death is the time.

I do think the best thing to do would to make a thread about the Queen's passing in the Serious Discussions section of the forums and redirect conversation about it to there as opposed to the Social Thread.

 

[TheMightyP]

Ok but it is interesting you'd think it's the Europeans on this thread getting mad at the Americans but... no other way around

Why control it

Queen Elizabeth the Second has just died

https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-61585886 Yes, it is true. Hopefully, this is the right place to put it. Now, I understand she was not the best queen, and neither was the country she ruled the best one. However, I did hear she did a lot of good things too, and there are people who will miss her...

Right on top of you, Faz.

Man, Operation London Bridge extended to the social thread on Smashboards dot com? Comedy really is getting banned
