Who is your main(s) and why?

My main main is symmetra because I liked the lock on mechanic and was never good at healing in TF2 so I chose her and absolutely adored her and love her even more now.

my second main has always been doomfist because he was absolutely OP as a DPS and while I still love him, I miss DPS doom.

what about *you*?

Possibly unrelated/irrelevant post, but something pretty funny happened.

So, I have been playing overwatch about a month and finally decided to play Symmetra today. I loved her and leveled her up quite a bit and had a lot of fun. so I open reddit now at 10:54p EST, having started playing sym at around 8a today (obv playing with breaks throughout the day), a post from this sub pops up. it is so weird because this sub Reddit has *never* popped up for me and I have never said anything about sym on my phone.

could be irrelevant but just wanted to share because i thought it was pretty funny and weird lol

What are your among us hot takes?

my hot takes are that visual tasks should always be off, and that the Among Us TV Show captures What the concept of what among us should be way better.

With D.Mon’s gameplay trailer (supposedly) coming today, what are your final predictions/what you would like to see for her kit?

: I would personally like a temporary flight, similar to dva’s but different because this time it I’d like a whirlwind, so more of a cross between dva’s flight and vendetta’s whirlwind. this ability would do damage to enemies and can potentially knock them off the map.

I’ve stopped being hyped for mythics at this point.

we know genji is getting his second mythic in season 4, but I’m not hyped at all because it’ll most likely just be divine godslop and im sick of it.

Watching Halloween (2007) for the first time!

im so excited! I hear it’s a bad movie but I have high expectations, because I heard it does something different than the original movies and I like sometimes when remakes try to do something different!

Season 5 was an amazing season.

I know the internet has been completely divided over the final season, but before you downvote, hear me out. Looking back, Season 5 completely redefined what Stranger Things could be by delivering the most cohesive, thrilling narrative arc we’ve seen yet. From the opening scene of the premiere, the Duffer brothers established a heightened sense of urgency with the military quarantine and rifts tearing through Hawkins. The pacing felt flawless, balancing intense, apocalyptic high-stakes survival with the deeply personal character moments that made us fall in love with the show in the first place.

The character development this season reached an absolute masterclass level, especially for the original party members who were finally forced to grow up. Seeing Mike step up into a genuine, mature leadership role and Lucas showing immense physical and emotional strength felt incredibly earned. Even the secondary and older cast members received incredibly meaningful payoffs; watching Joyce finally get a massive, badass moment to actively lead the physical charge against the Upside Down was a phenomenal transition from the frantic mother of Season 1.

Vecna returned as a deeply calculated, menacing, and personal villain who raised the psychological stakes to an all-time high. Unlike past antagonists who relied purely on brute-force monster jumpscares, his dynamic this season dismantled our protagonists from the inside out. His obsession with taking specific kids to expand the reach of the Abyss added a dark, targeted layer of dread to every single episode, making us truly believe that no one in Hawkins was safe.

Visually, the production value completely skyrocketed, with cinematography and direction that rivaled blockbuster cinema. The expansive CGI battles between the Demogorgons and the military, paired with the eerie, shifting landscape of the Abyss lowering into Hawkins, provided an incredible atmospheric backdrop. Several standalone set pieces—like Holly and Max trying to escape Camazotz—were so breathtakingly directed and lit that they immediately became iconic staples of the franchise.

The emotional stakes were grounded by powerhouse performances from the ensemble cast, who clearly gave their absolute best acting of the entire 9-year run. The raw vulnerability displayed in the quieter, dialogue-heavy scenes between characters like Will and Robin provided a perfect counterweight to the high-octane action. You could feel the real-life years of history between these actors in every shared glance, reminding us how much they've grown since 2016.

This season masterfully paid off years of subtle foreshadowing, rewarding long-time fans who have been paying attention since day one. The massive lore reveal regarding Will’s retconned history—explaining that his subconscious mind was weaponized as a "builder" to terraform the Upside Down while he slept—completely recontextualized the early seasons. It proved the Duffers had an interconnected grand design for the mythology all along, making a rewatch of Season 1 feel infinitely more rewarding.

The action sequences were not just grand in scale, but deeply rooted in the emotional conflicts of the story. Every fight, trap, and standoff served a narrative purpose rather than acting as visual filler. Sequences like the "Turnbow Trap," where the characters had to home-alone a Demogorgon using resourcefulness rather than just relying on Eleven's superpowers, brought back the classic, gritty 1980s adventure flavor that made the early seasons so special.

The mid-season twist regarding the rules of the Upside Down completely flipped the script and shattered the status quo in a way that kept the subreddit guessing. Revealing the specific nature of the Abyss as a literal wormhole rather than just a parallel dimension was a risky narrative gamble. However, its execution recontextualized the entire threat, injecting fresh sci-fi intrigue right when the story needed to build momentum for the endgame.

The soundtrack and score deserve their own separate appreciation post for how perfectly they elevated the tension and nostalgia this year. The 1987 setting brought incredible era-appropriate music motifs that were expertly woven into key character sacrifices and triumphs. The musical choices amplified the grief, horror, and eventual hope of each scene, culminating in final needle-drops that gave me absolute goosebumps and will stick with me for a long time.

Ultimately, the finale delivered an incredibly heartfelt, unforgettable conclusion that chose closure over cynical cliffhangers. Ending on a pitch-perfect, symbolic note with the original gang holing up in the Wheeler basement for one final D&D campaign—and passing the torch to the next generation—was beautifully poignant. It prioritized the human bonds over raw lore puzzles, cementing Season 5 not just as a satisfying finale, but as a legendary end to a generational TV event.

Honestly, it is exhausting watching this sub rewrite history because it’s not even a bad season by any stretch of the imagination. Let’s be real for a second: when the episodes actually dropped, everyone here was losing their minds over how great it was. The live threads were full of praise, the hype was unreal, and people were genuinely satisfied with the payoff. But the second the initial high wore off, half of you hopped on TikTok, saw a couple of 30-second videos making nitpicky, brainless edits, and instantly let those creators change your minds.

It’s pathetic how so many people in this fandom are entirely incapable of forming their own opinion without needing a social media algorithm to tell them exactly how to feel. You watch an incredible, blockbuster-level cinematic achievement, love it in real-time, and then throw all your original thoughts out the window the moment a "critic" online tells you it's cool to hate it. If you genuinely disliked it on night one, fine—but if you only hate it now because your favorite TikToker told you to, you're just proving you can't think for yourself
