  • Yeah, I agree. These people’s entire business model is frying your brain for profit, and then people wonder why everyone is so oversaturated lately. I always wished we could just officially round prices up instead of doing the *.99$ bullshit because no matter where I go, store workers are almost always low on 1 cent coins, and then they have to either hope that the customer has spare cents on them to balance it out or that the customer will just skip getting the 1c change. I worked in a shop for several months once and this was one of the most stressful things at handling money, because not every customer would be fine with it. Some of them would be so petty that they would stand in the middle and scream because “they want their money”, and I would physically have nothing to give them because every single transaction made would just dry out all my small coins. When I was a teenager, my parents had their own shop and I was usually collecting all the stray small coins and give them to my mom to make her work easier. I feel like this “trick” makes everything more complicated for everyone.







  • Sounds familiar. Sometimes when I play tank, I want to engage, so I turn around, confirm that my entire team is with me, and then I die alone on the point because in this second they decided that what we need is 4 flanks, lol. When it happens, I usually don’t even know how they left so fast. Also people who think that cover means blanket apparently, because they stand out in the open waaaaaaaaaaaaaay too far from any corner and then flame you for not shielding/healing them because it’s 100% your fault that this Cassidy engaged 1vs 5 in the middle of the room. Safe positioning? Hell no, support diff, tank diff, second dps diff, your mother diff, everything diff besides the player who does this because what could go wrong 😆 I also had situations when the tank was seeing that I play a squishy slow support/dps and when they saw that somebody decided to dive us, that person just dismantled the shield and left me there to be melted. I once was flamed by an Orisa who somehow matched all of these descriptions, so I watched the replay from their perspective and that person was not even moving the camera around, just going ahead in a straight line and kept getting flanked by players outside their field of view, but it was our fault for not healing them… amazing…


  • The brighter purple option on the bottom gives me a flashback from one day when someone was yelling at me in Overwatch that I was not healing them, and then I died, and my death cam ended too early, so it swapped to the only living teammate. It was the person who yelled at me, emoting in the part of the map where literally nobody was. I haven’t seen that person at all for the whole match, I have no idea what they were even doing there because it took extra effort to go where they went.
