There is very little flicking, certainly less than Overwatch. Time to kill being much higher, longer sightlines, more predictable movement and third person means it really isn't twitchy. Shooting most characters' guns probably feels closer to Orisa's or Sombra's than anyone else.
I've felt the same way about Overwatch as you, and I'm enjoying Deadlock much more lately. I would give it a shot.
My favorite:
In the gameplay showcase, they said "every age can be played on its own, or woven together into a full campaign". So I expect you will be able to set up a game with one age and no turn limit. If not, that will be the very first mod.
Op discovers fiat currency.
I remember seeing a video of a rubber arm experiment that goes through a series of exercises to convince someone's mind that a rubber arm placed against their shoulder is theirs, while the real one is blocked out of sight. Once these phantom sensations are in place, the organizer then hits the rubber hand with a hammer, causing great shock in the subject but no real harm. The immediate panic is exaggerated by the fact their mind can't actually move "their" hand out of the way when they see the swing coming.
Another study had organizers shine a harmless light on participants' arm for a few minutes and see how they react, allegedly for some sampling purpose. The twist was that they would have the real subjects stay in a waiting room beforehand and watch actors leave while appearing to be in considerable pain from the session where the light was targeting. They then experienced a significant burning sensation from the "laser" despite the organizers insisting it was harmless. Some would go as far as to raise their voice and demand the experiment stop.
The idea is that people can be convinced that something is painful just from others' reactions to it. This may have been what the organizers were actually testing for, and the electrical shock wasn't real or was barely large enough to felt. But OP was just immune to being influenced. I would expect the ability to follow cues from others has strong correlation to success at socializing, so considering they use 4chan OP might actually just be built different.
I took it to be a coyote. They go after sheep sometimes. Also, they are associated with being trickster figures in mythology.
The emperor's new battle strategy
When games go too far with this, it can encourage exploit or cheese strategies, or at least strict adherence to a meta build. This can actually mean resorting to a solution with less skill needed, since the game has already been effectively solved. A still-challenging situation that doesn't demand perfection can be reasonably done with unoptimized preparation and adaptation.
Oh, today I learned!
No one has mentioned Vivaldi yet. I haven't found it slow in the years I've used it. It does hog memory with the amount of tabs I open, but no more than any other browser I've used. Fortunately it has inactive tab suspenders as an option to help with my bad habits (natively now, and through chrome extensions before that). Also, it is undoubtedly the most visually customizable browser I know, so it being ugly is really you making the sandwich.
If this was just bait, I guess it got me. If not, anon could try Tor if they value privacy, or maybe something minimalist if they really care about performance.
Trump is projected to win the popular vote too, the first time a Republican presidential candidate has since 2004. There are more of the other guys showing up at least.
