Why so Salty?




What’s up fellow Genji mains, Ana mains, and basically anyone else who plays Overwatch and follows my blog. I feel the need to talk about this long going issue we have seen in the community, and I know I’m not the only person to address it but it needs to be said even on a relatively positive blog like mine. Now what we are gonna be talking about today is the outstanding amount of toxicity in Overwatch. For me, someone who has been playing Overwatch competitively since the game came out, I’ve seen the development of toxicity in the game. Now being the open minded person I am, I understand the feelings people have towards the game and how there attitude can change when they are one game away from getting 3000 SR and then lose because of throwers or a bad team comp. But with all honesty if someone complains on the forums about the developers changing their main why are you even playing the game. The developers feel like a hero is unbalanced so they change the hero, it’s simple. When I used to be a Lucio main they changed my hero’s boost speed and even added the healing circle replacing the in sight healing, I didn’t complain I just adapted and when Lucio became irrelevant in the future seasons, I simply switched my main to Genji for flanking tanks. Regardless, I don't think anyone should be salty in the forms because it's a horrible example of what the community is. Yes you can leave how you feel about a hero or who you think is OP in the Forums but please guys, can we do it with a little less salt. On a more positive note, below i’ve attached some really cool fanart from LightLash247. Please make sure to check them out I personally love there work as its amazing for someone who is so young.

    I think this is pretty common in most gaming communities. Where one group will be "salty" because of a change. Sometimes it is valid, but often the developers know what is best for the overall game. That being said I think in order to survive online gaming sometimes you have to embrace the salt.

      In some games like Rust this may be the case but in Overwatch embracing the salt will do nothing but piss off your team, have you lose endorsements, and get banned from playing comp.

The 10 Most Ordered Pizza Toppings of All Time Does pineapple really belong on pizza? Uploaded on 11/02/2018         Overhead shot of pizza with pineapple  “Uhhhhh sooo can I get just a plain cheese pizza?” As a pizza maker who worked at a mom n pop pizza joint throughout my entire high school career, this was an oh so familiar call answered every Friday night. However, the people in my small rural town were not alone when it came to this bland pizza order. According to  Foodler , apparently, 37 per cent of people who order  takeout tend to typically order just a plain ol cheese pizza. Shocking I know.

So, here are the top 10 most ordered pizza toppings of all time, don’t be too traumatized when you see where pineapple placed.  These results were gathered through four years of working at a  pizza restaurant and from overall knowledge of pizza (th...

How Lil Wayne Made a Timeless Album

Lil Wayne is a very smart individual who knows how to work everything into his advantage. His album is more thought out then most people would notice.  Wayne was signed onto Cash Money Records as the youngest member of the label at the age of nine and went on to be the flagship artist for the record label. This is where Wayne met his long time mentor Birdman who was the co-founder and public face of Cash Money Records, they even released an album together called “Like Father Like Son”. That’s why it was unexpected when Birdman wouldn't allow the release of Tha Carter V and Lil Wayne announced a $51 million lawsuit to get out of his contract, three years later the album was finally released.  Even though his album was postponed many times, he worked that into his marketing and this album was hands down his most anticipated album to be released, also being the first non-Cash Money release ever.  The album opens with an emotional introduction spoken by Lil Wayne’...
