    @Eggs_85 I read at night before bed. But before that I'll throw on a game either on my console (i.e. Need for Speed / Overwatch / Hades) or I'll play GO on my phone against others. Weekends, if I'm not working/writing, I'll try and get reading time in on say Sunday morning after chores.

  • nouh411 noah (@nouh411) reported

    Uninstalled Overwatch, blizzard needs to fix the matchmaking, I played 8 games and lost 6 of them. Every single game both of my dps's had less damage and kills same with the tank. There' a massive problem, its luck based on the teammates you get.

  • Remooie rem 🏳️‍⚧️⚡️🐰 (@Remooie) reported

    There is no way someone in ow thought me saying “skill issue” to them (hanzo) losing a 1v1 with me (kiriko) was toxic. Have u even played overwatch 😭 saying skill issue is a little joke, toxicity is like getting told to off yourself or people saying slurs

  • grrviluv #neya ☆ needs lobotomy (@grrviluv) reported

    @skiesti_ how r ppl saying it's lagging for them. how do u guys run overwatch if u can't run this 💀

  • Jazzman4 Zane (@Jazzman4) reported

    @Starkweather83 @Destiny2Team Yeah, the same problem happens in overwatch and apex. Thats why when you run a 4 person team it felt amazing. Just stomp throigh teams

  • 4ureliusTV Aurelius (@4ureliusTV) reported

  • satoruphobe ren (@satoruphobe) reported

  • Subnauticboo Fosha (@Subnauticboo) reported
