Fun Fact: They don't actually taste like modern bananas. When Runts were first made, we had a different variety of banana as the main one that everyone had. I think there was a crop blight or something and that particular banana species was nearly wiped out, so we have a different one now that tastes different. But Runts (and maybe other old candy brands) never changed their flavor formula, so the banana-flavored Runts still taste like the old bananas.

Yeah, we use the Cavendish now whereas before the standard banana was the Gros Michel (or maybe I mixed them up). Who would have guessed that everyone growing the same breed of banana would lead to a super fungus

These skins were made to help distinguish teams when watching pro matches, and are now being sold to raise money for the OWL.

You are not entitled to free skins because you think they look cool. These are cosmetic items.

I said they're simple and they are. Let's have a quick comparison, oh look they just changed most of the colors to black and a few to green. Might as well be charging $5 for a skin on Minecraft.

That's literally the only reason they're in the game. If you don't care about OWL then don't complain about not having their skins.

If they made skins with color palettes I liked then it wouldn't be a problem. Green/Black is my thing and I can't think of a single non-OWL skin that has those as the primary colors other than Carbon Orisa.

I couldn't care less about supporting the teams. I've never followed any game's pro league


Ok but a lot of us do. Selling skins helps make the league financially viable.

So lower Blizzard's cut, lower the team's cut and give them their own revenue instead of pooling it, make actual team gear, sell skin packs that give you every <team name> skin for $X with that team getting a bigger cut, make a gofundme, there's dozens of ways you could make it "financially viable" without charging people $5 for a simple recolor and giving the teams the same/more money.

I'm not an "I have to own everything" person by any means, but if I want some simple recolors that I think look good, I shouldn't have to shell out $25-30, especially when the game itself costs $40, just to make something I don't care about "financially viable". If you guys want to spend that, by all means go ahead, but imo this is literally a shittier version of the Horse Armor DLC. With all that said, if they were reasonably priced, I'd probably still buy some, but I'm sure they won't change the price because some dude at Blizzard with a Bachelor's degree punched some numbers into a computer and it lit up a giant neon sign saying "WHALES GIVE US MORE MONEY THAN THE AVERAGE CONSUMER SO MAKE EVERYTHING COST 10X WHAT IT SHOULD WITH NO OTHER AVENUES OF ACCESS."

I couldn't care less about supporting the teams. I've never followed any game's pro league, and I'm not gonna start anytime soon. Their skins just have some color schemes I find particularly appealing, unlike the majority of the other skins.

It's just kind of dumb to me that other games I play implement shit like this way better, and usually way cheaper. Just to get 1 skin a piece for the handful of characters I play I'd be spending more than I paid for the game itself. That's utterly ridiculous for a recolor with a logo added.

halomonkey1_3_5 posted...
Most of them look like they were put together by an algorithm with no human input so idk why youd bother with more than one or two

Although after seeing a couple of the color combos I wish theyd add more recolors for the default skins instead of adding the horrible event skins tbh

I'm just a fan of the green/black combo :(

Did you already spend the 100 free tokens you got today? I mean, that's only a marginal help -- the skins are still pretty fugly and nothing you'd switch out GOATs like Wujing, Bajie, etc. for. Overwatch has some brass orbs to charge $5 per skin, though.

They're pricey, but at the very least it all goes to the league
I heard Blizzard takes half, so lmao.

The wording I saw was that "some" of the "proceeds" go to the teams. So I'd imagine it's far less than half.

The equivalent exchange part just means you can't create a spear out of nothing. For the dagger->sword they're basically just reshaping the metal.

Yeah, most (all?) of the main characters you see have some way of using alchemy without having to stop and draw an actual circle.

Is PUBG worth it? I'm having a blast with Fortnite....kind of hard to drop the cash on it when a lot of the reviews say it's rife with aim bots, etc. Not sure how exaggerated that is.


I've heard mixed reactions. Apparently it doesn't always run well and has frame rate issues, even on high end pcs. And it is unfinished. Just what I heard.

Pre 1.0 it was unoptimized to shit. Now you can get a solid 70+ frames on a 700 series card.

The answer is always no.

Make sure he has a harness on and whenever he starts to pull just give the leash a fair pull back. It obviously won't be an instant or overnight thing, but most dogs get the lesson pretty quick. I find that using a slightly longer leash also helps.
