@Flats_OW FOR REAL

I feel like ever since Overwatch brought back lootboxes they’ve been leaning on them wayyy too hard as “good enough” rewards and let other rewards slack

@PlayOverwatch imgur.com/a/pa2N3pd yo so like how come lilalienz wasn't asked for permission or credited?

You’re in for a legendary good time during Overwatch’s 10th Anniversary Event 🔥 Join the party to earn 21 exclusive Launch Hero Skins, 15 Anniversary Loot Boxes, community-made cosmetics, and much more May 12 - June 1 ✨

@Sango__19 @Paramecia0135 @PlayOverwatch Me too friend me too

@lavdenderwitch @Paramecia0135 @PlayOverwatch I hope so

@chioziii @lilalienz4ever imgur.com/a/pa2N3pd Look at this overlay! It's like SO CLOSE to the original one. Just blows my mind dude. It was a community piece I think so maybe someone submitted it as "original" or something idk.

unfortunately blizzard didn't credit or ask for permission of the original artist of the drawing they used as a reference for the name card original image belongs to @lilalienz4ever !

@GorouCOOL @chioziii @lilalienz4ever imgur.com/a/pa2N3pd Not really imo. Like, they changed the "characters" but the art really looks almost traced.

@chioziii @lilalienz4ever It’s different enough for it to be classed as its own art. It’s a pretty normal thing

@ElromanoffT500 @chioziii @Niidlaat @leonardoluizli1 @lilalienz4ever lilalienz is the artist

@chioziii @Niidlaat @leonardoluizli1 @lilalienz4ever siquiera alguien conoce al autor? solo conocemos el meme

@Niidlaat @chioziii @leonardoluizli1 @lilalienz4ever "Most of the image" lmao the proportions literally look almost traced! imgur.com/a/pa2N3pd

@chioziii @leonardoluizli1 @lilalienz4ever oh how wrong you would be. big companies do this ALL THE TIME and they dont have to ask for permission especially on a non-copy right image, especially if they change most of the image

@chioziii @lilalienz4ever @Blizzard_Ent @ATVI_AB @PlayOverwatch Yo can you guys make this right please?

@chuuhoseok @chioziii @lilalienz4ever They didn't

@chioziii @lilalienz4ever i hope they got credited/paid

new overwartch name card😭😭

@ATVI_AB @PlayOverwatch Kinda fucked up. I hope this is just a misunderstanding and Blizz reaches out to officially ask for permission/offer compensation.

@hephaistos2142 @OWCavalry They aren’t.

@OWCavalry I will laugh my ass of if these skins are chines exclusives.

Closer Look at #Overwatch Anniversary Skins ✨ 🧽 Housekeeper Ramattra 🚒 Firefighter Wuyang 🏋🏻‍♀️ Personal Trainer Vendetta Which one is your favorite? 💭

@juffalotus @Paramecia0135 @PlayOverwatch For real

@Paramecia0135 @PlayOverwatch I mean in China kids under 18 are only allowed 1 hour a day to play the game and only on Friday, Saturday and Sunday so they give it to them to entice them into playing for those 3 hours so I don’t feel all that bad for the rest of us

@Sango__19 @Paramecia0135 @PlayOverwatch The post says “and much more” so there may very well be a bunch of surprise skin drops, it’s impossible to say for sure how much we’re actually getting.

@Paramecia0135 @PlayOverwatch Sybau no one is happy with the crumbs and don’t defend their lame asses saying “its out of their control” cuz we know it is

@Crilatty @Paramecia0135 @PlayOverwatch Netease controls the Chinese side of Overwatch. The team that works on stuff in the US has no control over that which is what they’re saying. Overwatch has multiple different teams not just one entity controlling everything.

@Paramecia0135 @PlayOverwatch Wdym they have no control? Blizzard has full control over what they can do for the global anniversary event

@stevienipz @RonanFarrow @NewYorker @andrewmarantz Did you even read it lol

@RonanFarrow @NewYorker @andrewmarantz Whole lot of nothing. Give us specifics not the Iliad

The reporting on OpenAI and Sam Altman that I've been working on for the past year and a half, for @NewYorker, with @andrewmarantz: newyorker.com/magazine/2026/…

@sama Authoritarian? For refusing to spy on citizens and not putting ads in their product? Interesting.

First, the good part of the Anthropic ads: they are funny, and I laughed. But I wonder why Anthropic would go for something so clearly dishonest. Our most important principle for ads says that we won’t do exactly this; we would obviously never run ads in the way Anthropic depicts them. We are not stupid and we know our users would reject that. I guess it’s on brand for Anthropic doublespeak to use a deceptive ad to critique theoretical deceptive ads that aren’t real, but a Super Bowl ad is not where I would expect it. More importantly, we believe everyone deserves to use AI and are committed to free access, because we believe access creates agency. More Texans use ChatGPT for free than total people use Claude in the US, so we have a differently-shaped problem than they do. (If you want to pay for ChatGPT Plus or Pro, we don't show you ads.) Anthropic serves an expensive product to rich people. We are glad they do that and we are doing that too, but we also feel strongly that we need to bring AI to billions of people who can’t pay for subscriptions. Maybe even more importantly: Anthropic wants to control what people do with AI—they block companies they don't like from using their coding product (including us), they want to write the rules themselves for what people can and can't use AI for, and now they also want to tell other companies what their business models can be. We are committed to broad, democratic decision making in addition to access. We are also committed to building the most resilient ecosystem for advanced AI. We care a great deal about safe, broadly beneficial AGI, and we know the only way to get there is to work with the world to prepare. One authoritarian company won't get us there on their own, to say nothing of the other obvious risks. It is a dark path. As for our Super Bowl ad: it’s about builders, and how anyone can now build anything. We are enjoying watching so many people switch to Codex. There have now been 500,000 app downloads since launch on Monday, and we think builders are really going to love what’s coming in the next few weeks. I believe Codex is going to win. We will continue to work hard to make even more intelligence available for lower and lower prices to our users. This time belongs to the builders, not the people who want to control them.

This has never been against Marvel Rivals or Overwatch rules lol. You can’t make someone use one account and since Marvel doesn’t have role queue, plus due to the nature of MMR/SR in general, it is extremely beneficial to have an alt account if you want to rank up really high and keep that rank. Regardless of how much you dislike it, it is incredibly doubtful it will ever become a bannable offense. Besides, alt accounts aren’t the same as smurfing. Smurfs stay in low elo on purpose so they can stomp on people in lower ranks repeatedly, or sabatoge matches, etc. Content creators usually just rank up and that’s it. They blow through low ranks so fast it doesn’t even affect you lmao.

@MarvelRivals Now while we’re at it how about the Marvel Rivals creators who use alternate accounts to play competitive matches stress free of losing rank. They are promoting doing this to many people which ruins the validity of the ranked experience.

Strict Enforcement Against Mouse Macro Usage Dear Rivals, Recently, our scanners have picked up some anomalies in the timestream: some players are using mouse macros during matches. Executing abnormal combo sequences or achieving actions beyond normal human hand speed gives these users an unfair extra advantage. This severely undermines game fairness, negatively affects the competitive experience of honest players, and has a detrimental impact on the overall gaming environment. Therefore, we would like to make the following clear statement: The use of mouse macros is a strict violation of our rules. Whether you're using macros to pull off impossible combos or to achieve superhuman APM you are destroying the fairness of the game. Once confirmed, we will bring the hammer down strictly in accordance with our rules. Let's be perfectly clear: letting a machine do the work for you is absolutely not "skill." Macros are just an unfair advantage gained through villainous means. To maintain a fair and healthy gaming environment, we have further strengthened our detection and identification capabilities regarding mouse macro behavior. For accounts confirmed to be using mouse macros through system detection and manual review, we will take penalizing measures based on the severity of the circumstances, including but not limited to the following: • Matchmaking Suspension • Temporary Account Ban • Long-term Account Ban • Permanent Ban We urge all players to cherish your accounts and not to take chances. Any attempt to gain an unfair advantage through mouse macros will be met with serious consequences. We are committed to providing a fair, just, and healthy competitive environment for all players. Thank you for your ongoing understanding and support of our efforts to maintain game integrity. We encourage all players to actively report violations. Stay vigilant, keep fighting for justice, and let's defend the integrity of our Chronoverse, side by side!

🚨 BREAKING: The King has issued a statement following the arrest of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor

If you cover the Epstein case or advocate for survivors, please look into this or spread awareness however you can. Thank you all for everything you have been doing @jkbjournalist @RepThomasMassie @MassieForKY @RepRoKhanna♥️ None of this would have the visibility it does without the work you've already done.

Virginia Giuffre made sure the most powerful people in the world could not hide behind silence. Do not let her death be handled with silence too. Every single fact in this thread is public record. RT this. Send the email. #JusticeForVirginia #EpsteinFiles #VirginiaGiuffre

Virginia Giuffre survived being sex trafficked by Jeffrey Epstein as a teenager. She spent over a decade fighting to hold the most powerful people on earth accountable. She was found dead on April 25, 2025 at age 41. Authorities said it was "not suspicious." It was. Thread:
