Tuesday Overwatch Update!
Tuesday Overwatch Update!
As opposed to our Monday Overwatch update, Sundays Overwatch post and lets not forget Saturdays post, which focused mostly on Overwatch.
Well today, Blizzard posted a new Dev video detailing
1. why the PTR isnt on consoles and probably wont be (duh), and how Blizzard uses it,
2. they dont expect Sombra to ever be "a vicious assasin, even though shes in the offense category. We could see equally see her almost being in the support category. We see her more as a disrupter - a backline disrupter - than a frontline flanker or assassin."
3. the changes to Roadhogs hook are indented to both address Roadhog players who feel cheated when their hook drops players in the wrong place and Roadhog victims who feel like his hook is bullshit.
4. D.Vas too awesome at everything and shes gettin nerfed, Son.On the personal front, my Tracer is getting way better than she was last fall Back then, she was in the 74th percentile - meaning I was better than about 74% of Tracers on PS4, and worse than about 26%. Well now...
Not. Too. Shabby. 88th percentile Tracer. Fuckyeah. Also, remember that owranklist site that tells you your best-ever match in Overwatch? Back in September, it was a Mercy match on Ilios (I should pull her out on KotH more):
Well now its a Tracer match on Kings Row. Fuck yes.
Now, lets post some news about other games. For once. Oh, and yknow what? I think the Gel clip show from last week actually is a good one. Thats a good clip show.

Tuesday Sermon Leaving Westboro
Tuesday Sermon Leaving Westboro
Megan Phelps-Roper: Leaving Westboro
As I reference this talk I have to balance the publicity I am giving to a [former] hate figure whose celebrity is now due to them no longer being morally reprehensible.
In other words they had a position, call it an evil position, or an unthinking position or a position out of ignorance and now having reverted back to a normal where I define normal as generally accepted by Western Society, they get the credit.
If we can tally up all the hurt, the malice and offence that Westboro Baptist Church has pushed into the world, against the no doubt good that this video has done to redress the balance: Well Megan, IMHO I think a lifetime of apology and re-dress will not be enough.
To me there is a profound difference between say having a Religious viewpoint that by pretty much any standard has sought to cause harm and division, and that is now discarded....
And by contrast John W Loftus de-conversion from Christianity over time as he wrestled with the inconsistencies of the Christian faith. So if you missed my Sunday Sermon then stop watching the above and watch this instead!
John W Loftus: An Interview
Extra Homework Euthyphro Dilemma
(How can you be moral without God/ Surely Morality is defined by God)
Morality is not derived from God (first 2 minutes only)
Im pivoting again, but I was just asked [yet again] the question by friends: How can you be moral without God? Its an old chestnut of a question, and an old chestnut of an answer as given above.
