Team Kill 💪🏻
Props to Tom Beansons for going the extra mile and getting coffee making hands 😚
I can never really tell if I'm getting complimented or insulted when I get remarks like this one...
It was made from the enemy Wrecking Ball towards me after we won.
Like that has to be a compliment right? 😂
It just throws me off when people use the word diff and then follow it with something that's not hate 😂😂
I am a slut for one thing and one thing only. Overwatch LORE. It's probably the only reason I'm so invested in the game still (that's a lie, I would still find a way to love Overwatch). I eat that shit up. There's nothing more satisfying that getting another titbit of Overwatch Lore and nodding to yourself, like yes, yes, I definitely understand the relevance of this important piece of information.
I will never fangirl harder than when new animated shorts are released as well.

Links to the Youtube Origin stories in Chronological order of hero release <3
Most of the base Roster doesn't have an origin story, but there is this short for Roadhog and Junkrat:
It's not in the same format as the rest of the origin stories that follow, but it's the closest thing that resembles an origin story for them.
Soldier 76 is obviously one of the outliers of this standard (being Blizzards golden boy and all I suppose), and I'm fairly sure his was the first origin story put together in this format:
Another of these outliers is none other than the poster girl herself, which I guess makes sense:
That's all the base roster got, and the following origin stories all belong to heroes that we released after the release of the game.
First of, Ana came out in July of 2016:
Then followed Sombra in November of 2016:
Orisa in March of 2017:
Doomfist in July of 2017:
Moira in November of 2017:
Brigitte in March of 2018:
Wrecking Ball in July of 2018:
Find a group feature
Ok, so I've been on holiday in Malta the last 10 days, which means I've missed out on a large portion of event play time for the Underworld event. That means I have some serious grinding to do for achievements. I managed to complete every challenge except the legendary modifier one (so far, fingers crossed).
It's time like this when I really miss the find a group feature from overwatch 1. People who played the archives event on legendary mode know that the best chance you get at winning and earning the achievements is by searching specifically for a group, then using pre-designed tactics to make it though.
It's the only way I ever got those achievements, but since they've removed the find a group feature in Overwatch 2, they've somehow indirectly made these legendary missions even harder 🫠
I realise I haven't posted in days and I have a perfectly reasonable excuse for that... Baldurs Gate 3 ✨
Spitting facts, Blizzard making cannon decisions whilst drunk, upside down, and spinning in circles! ;-;
The constant rolling disaster that is Overwatch's game development aside, what really perplexes me about how Blizzard is handling the broader franchise is their continual insistence that a canon narrative exists in spite of their equally continual refusal to tell anyone what it is.
Like, okay, the events of the games aren't canon. Fair enough: the games are multiplayer-only, and you can't account for player actions.
Oh, and the animated short films aren't canon either – they're properly understood as in-universe propaganda, not depictions of actual events. That's a little high concept for you guys, but fine.
But surely the comics are canon, right? Well, no; some of the comics (we're not telling you which ones) were canon at one point, but the writing team has decided to go in a different direction.
My dudes, what is left? The weird Source Filmmaker porn? Is that canon? Well, apparently it's at least as canon as anything else!
I've played Overwatch for six years and I need mental help. 21. She/Her.
