    To be fair its pretty easy to get PotG on Genji. His sword is pretty much cruise control to get at least 2 frags and getting 3-4 is pretty common. Even when I'm getting zero medals in a match as Genji it isn't odd that I get PotG simply because I sworded some people down once.

    My favorite character was Nancy because she was hot and put out and cockteased that one dude then left the nice guy for the asshole. It was a very believable character.

    Its funny you'll get people who fundamentally don't understand how KotH plays out. Some guy was raging we weren't just bum rushing the point on Lijiang. In reality the only time you rush the point is a bit on Control but even better its best to take the mid-high ground instead of the pit. But...

    I'm only a few hours deep but it feels much more on-rails than Terraria. I think too many people are going in expecting "Terraria in space" and leaving disappointed because Terraria is such a masterpiece. But it is really just related to Terraria but does other things much different.

    No one should feel cool writing assembly. Its like a hipster listening to a record. Everything is shittier about the experience they just want to say they're using something old.

    That is basically the point of Optional. The issue is Java never formally supported Optional beforehand so null often times meant the same as notPresent() but sometimes null also meant other things. That is why null is such a dangerous device. Sometimes null is valid for the reasons you...

    Try / Catch is extremely expensive and should never be used for something like null checking. If you do it for all your null checking in Java your program will crawl. You'll encounter some Java zealots who would claim you should never use Try / Catch due to the expense. I'm not in that camp...

    You can also single handedly shit on Torb and Bastion this patch with DVa as well. She just dominates both of them.

    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    Its a valid concern with Java. Some languages disallow the use of null so it makes things a ton more elegant. Unfortuantely Java can't put that genie back in the bottle so now they can only recommend people construct their classes utilizing Optional instead of null (unlike Scala where it has...

    I don't see why you need to assign a "best" to one. I enjoyed BB, MM, GoT, Deadwood. I don't need to figure out which one I liked more. I was entertained by all.

    The Stream library combined with Optionals takes away some of that verbose null checking Tired of Null Pointer Exceptions? Consider Using Java SE 8's Optional!

    When I was watching the show I actually hoped they'd reboot the entire cast and have no continuity between seasons. True Detective style. Just tell a story and move on because I don't see how you can stretch this storyline forever. But that is clearly not the case since brother was hacking up...

    He kind of is spray and pray, though. Obviously he doesn't have a fully automatic weapon but since there is no spread or recoil you just hold down LMB and eventually you'll land your shots. As you get better you'll track and time your shots more but at mediocre levels of play you can just...

    I always kind of liked that Don was the guy you were always kind of rooting for to change his life and turn it around instead of being a sleaze but never could get out of his own way. And then also watching the other characters get a moderate amount of success and follow exactly in Don's...

    I was just thinking that it is kind of funny that McCree just shits on Pharah so badly because she'd actually be really decent in this meta if not for sniper McCree. 76 got nerfed so one of her natural counters is worse at his job. The meta is double support heavy and she can very easily kill...

    Overwatch

    I think you're looking at some things in a vacuum and possibly why it shows why McCree is so hard to balance. A hero like McCree has no spread. This means if someone is playing 100% perfectly his DPS is now effectively doubled compared to someone who is only landing body shots. How do you...

    You'll get idiots. I honestly don't understand their objections to a Zenyatta in that situation even if Zen wasn't overtuned at the moment. Honestly if its obvious someone on your team isn't worth the air they're breathing just completely ignore them. You can't have thin skin and also play...

    Overwatch

    Thats not really a fair comparison. Starcraft you can more easily balance mathematically (they have formulas to rate the "goodness" of a unit) because there is no skill or RNG involved. If a marine is fighting versus a Zergling he will never miss the only region for skill is in the micro...

    I think depending on the level of play Pharah is still viable. The problem starts to manifest a bit more when you are versus a good McCree who doesn't miss.

    Here is a pretty decent meta breakdown from this weekend Hero pick rates from weekend's tournaments : Competitiveoverwatch Odd things sticking out is how much more picked Genji is on EU vs NA. Mercy's pick rate plummeted but I wouldn't be shocked to see that steadily rise. As we all...

    Also Java is still hanging on to some shit with it's past. Java itself is now an extremely fast language for all the safety it provides. It has by far the best JIT complier out there and the JVM itself is extraordinarily fast. Java 3 or so? Yeah that was a slow piece. Java 8, however, is...

    When I refi'd my house the PMI didn't magically go away when I was 20% invested like so many people on the internet says it does. I believe it used to go away now it stays for the life of the loan. I had to refi the house to get the PMI removed.

    Even before the buffs McCree wasn't entirety out of the meta. His head shots still did a fuckton of damage. He wasn't a highly used hero but he had his niche.

    Like who from the distance and reliability of McCree? If he isn't broken why do you never not see mirrored McCrees in the current patch? Also test out his drop-off. The range is huge that he still gets 100% damage. His 100% damage on LMB is 70 not 40 also. I should also add this is from...

    It wasn't just the ladder at launch. The skill cap was insanely low when the game came out. The newer heroes and their depth, complexity and ability to outplay has made it so the game is more difficult to play at a high level. Now with the last patch they're clearly trying to push the game...
