If you're a woman at riot and you post a swimsuit pic you can get in trouble with HR and have to delete but then u go to the office and guys r walking around in t shirts emblazoned with bikini models and there's a policy forbidding you from complaining about specifically this 🥴

You've been afk for multiple rounds in 6 different games this week, and clicked past 5 warnings. Life happens, and that's okay, but if you aren't able to be present for the whole game you shouldn't queue for ranked. Play some norms this week, ranked will still be there after.

@ItsJustEmran Nope, sorry. That wouldn't be fair to the 54 other people whose games you compromised by afking. As somebody who takes ranked seriously you want your teammates to be there and taking it seriously too, right? Take this as a lesson for the future and get back in there next week.

I'm happy that Valorant has a "report" feature in closed beta. Too many online games have launched without them. How can mitigating harassment be an afterthought? If your game relies on teamwork and communication, it is literally integral to your gameplay

though the sound "w" exists in japanese, the phoneme "wu" does not. if you were going to write "uwu", you'd do it as "うっうー" ("u'ū") or even just "ううー" ("uū"). anyway what I'm getting at here is Maria's "uu, uu" in Umineko could just as well be romanized as "uwu, uwu"

when I was new at Riot, I one day worked up the courage to broach the subject of mental illness-related fatigue with my manager. He laughed in my face and said "I have kids, I don't have any sympathy for you staying up late playing video games." I never brought it up again.

Ah! So here’s something people aren’t explaining: NFTs don’t have to be jpgs. Imagine taking your favorite skin from Valorant, and using it Fortnite. And not paying extra, because you own it. Then using it in CoD, Minecraft, even Twitter, IG. So many possibilities, no?

it's important to give yourself blocks of at least two uninterrupted hours for tasks. that way you have 1 hour to wrangle your mind into concentrating on the task, 30 minutes to do the entire thing in a frantic rush, and then another 30 minutes to decompress from the ordeal

in the meantime, if somebody's doing something non-comms related in your game--griefing, throwing, whatever--and you don't see an indicator on the end of game screen that we caught it, let us know. we're actively working on building new detections and improving the ones we have.

the system that tracks those kinds of behaviors doesn't interact with instant feedback reports due to some technical baggage, so while we sort that out we wanted to ensure players can see what the game is already detecting. ultimate goal is to have feedback reports for these, too
