It doesn't happen often with this game, though. Getting a duplicate or two maybe every other box is common, but I don't remember ever seeing it this bad. Still, you're most likely right.

He does kinda have a point though, getting shit you don't want from lootboxes just means they're working as intended. With Overwatch specifically I remember getting a shit ton of duplicates of boring sprays and voice lines and I didn't even really play the game that much.

The OW devs did mention significantly lowering the duplicate drop rates but I've still seen people since then who get a few boxes full of them.

So yes, it's working as intended just not in JAG's favor.

Yeah, the sprays are stupid. There are way too many of those. Voice lines are a little better, though, IMO. They're fun to spam during actual gameplay, like you get a kill and then have Reaper say "Next" or Mei say "Ouch! Are you okay?"

Cancel culture.

I guess good deeds really don't go unpunished, even if it was something stupid you said as a teenager. And of course this all went down on Twitter, bar-none the most toxic hellscape on Earth next to Chernobyl. Social Media was a huge mistake.

Soon we'll be cancelling people because of a bad word they said as a toddler.

-Toxic fanbases.
-Normal fans indifference to said toxicity effecting fellow fans till it effects them directly.
-Authority figures in said fanbases turning a blind eye to said toxicity.

People who incorrectly use 'effect' when they mean 'affect'. :P

a pretty good portion of the monster hunter community these days. Not enough to get legitimately pissed but its getting pretty annoying with all of the crying about weapon designs in MHW and the constant bitching about the handler (aka my waifu, I'll go rinse with some Clorox now)

And the hits keep on hitting. Was looking into buying a PS2 to do some horror games for this October. And the reviews I'm hearing from people who bought off Amazon are horror films in their own right. Several people got cockroaches in the PS2s they bought from one buyer. Christ can nothing be easy?

Just buy it, and send the spiders from MM’s vinyls to eat all the roaches.

People who are loyal to companies, I just don’t get how someone can think a company, especially the huge ones care about them

People can be loyal to a company and can still know they don't really care about us. I do it all the time with Toho and Nintendo. :P

When the apocalypse comes on Judgment Day and the war between Man and Machine starts, it will be Disney who will save Humanity from complete and utter annihilation.

Reminds me of the time someone got "offended" over a joke I made about two film companies. I was sitting there thinking "holy cow dude it was a joke, lighten the fuck up. It was meant to make people laugh, not offend. Are you're really gonna get offended on behalf some film companies who don't know you exist? They probably would have shrugged off the joke if they saw it." :shock: :roll:
