Vibe coding? I prefer vibe cooking. Made this mushroom and spinach gnocchi with a side of air-fried chicken completely by vibing what I should add. Sauce too thin? Greek yogurt. Need some zing? Add some torn-up cheese. So much fun. Will try again in the future.

Seeing some chatter about Freja, Kiriko, and Lucio having a faster base speed in the latest #Overwatch patch. As far as my testing in both 5v5 and 6v6 customs shows, this is not the case. Freja, Lucio, and Kiriko still have a base 5.5 m/s move speed.

@hankgreen.bsky.social I cannot express how much this little bean (I named ‘em Bola) has helped me focus. Thank you so much to everyone who made this happen, I genuinely have never been this concentrated at work in a long time.

And hey, if you're not in the mood to follow a well-trodden build, how about some gambling? Introducing the OW Armory Randomizer, which will let you build your loadout with a hefty handful of RNG spice! Randomize your hero, powers, and next item purchase as you please. owarmory.com/randomizer

The randomizer page on OW Armory. At the top, a bar of all available Stadium heroes sorted by role sits above a button that says "Roll New Hero". Next, the page asks "What is your budget?", before offering a random power and item selection. Item selection can be restricted by category.

Next up (in the vein of Stadium), I'm super proud to share that I've made a build-sharing website, OW Armory! While there's already some pretty established stadium build sites out there, I'm very proud of the work my friends and I put into this site regardless 😄 Come check us out at owarmory.com!

A portion of the OW Armory website which shows the process of making an OW Armory build. The section is titled "Powers & Items", with a set of tabs under it listing all 7 rounds and the 4 item/power categories. The example shows the Cyclone perk for Freja selected, along with a set of 3 items. A search bar with the words "Take Aim" in it appears above the Powers list, which has some items highlighted and others dimmed based on whether the power matches the search query.

Speaking of the toolbox, it's now also available in 6v6 via the import code [MH1RE]! This import code is mostly for your convenience, since changing all the duplicate game modes around in the settings is really annoying.

The rescission quite literally states the purpose is “to ensure alignment with the Administration’s priorities.” No priorities should outweigh principles of integrity and transparency. A portion of the now-rescinded notice can be found below.

Excerpt from NOT-OD-24-178 which reads as follows:

Scientific integrity aims to make sure that science is conducted, managed, communicated, and used in ways that preserve its accuracy and objectivity and protect it from suppression, manipulation, and inappropriate influence. In support of our mission, NIH has always sought to incorporate robust scientific integrity principles and practices throughout every level of its scientific enterprise.
In fostering scientific integrity, NIH aims to ensure that (1) scientific findings are objective, credible, and readily available to the public, and (2) the development and implementation of policies and programs is transparent, accountable, and evidence-based. NIH has numerous policies and procedures to ensure the Nation's investment in biomedical research is scientifically robust and rigorous and that our workforce maintains the highest standards of integrity. In supporting the NIH mission, all NIH researchers and staff are expected to:
• Foster an organizational culture of scientific integrity,
• Protect the integrity of the research process,
• Communicate science with integrity, and
• Safeguard scientific integrity.

The arrow on the fuel pump icon on your car's dashboard points to the side with the refueling port. If it points left, the refueling port is on the left, and same with right. This tip has saved me the headache of pulling up to a pump on the wrong side with rental cars more times than I can count.

So... apparently you can become immune to EMP by running into an enemy Hazard's wall. This EMP immunity persists (even through respawning) until the would-be target switches heroes.

Been working on and off for over a year on a set of tools made in the Overwatch Workshop which make custom games more useful for testing various Overwatch scenarios. For example, here's a replayable demonstration of counter-charging being uncleansable, with some extra information readouts included.
