I actually go on those websites, but only see .gifs now. Do those technically count, or do I need the cat owner's commentary for the complete experience?

you don't have to own a cat but you'd understand the cat fascination more with owning a cat

Aah okay. When I was growing up, I had a nonzero amount of friends with cats, but we played video games together, not with the cat. Maybe it's an age thing, who knows?
I'm 21, if that gives you guys any context.

Cats are fun pets, but most don't need you to survive and know it. Dogs are also fun, but require more work depending on the breed.

i'm also 21 .. yeah i own cat and one of my oldest/closest friends has a lot of cats too

i just like having pets honestly. . cats, dogs, fish any will do as long as they are not too much of a hassle to take care of

edit:

one fun part of taking care of pets is that for example you took care of a cat and a dog raising them together while they are young.. they actually play together and you'd find cute shit like they sleep besides each other and not mind eating the same food at the same time

it's not just limited to cats and dogs .. i've seen it happen with chickens and dogs when they are raised together it's pretty soothing to watch

Womp womp.

At least you can now go home and drink your sorrows away. And when you are completely drunk, play some Heroes of the Storm because you don't really need to be functional to play that game.

I don't think that you'll find it particularly challenging. Upside is that games are short. Note that there aren't a lot of Heroes to actually play yet, but they seem to be coming out with a certain degree of regularity.

If you already like CSGO/DotA, you're probably significantly more hard-core than the target audience of this game, but that's just my 2 cents.

pretty accurate but the game can still be fun because its a hero brawler. brainless fun is still fun. and it does require a degree of coordination but if you can press buttons you're probably better than well over half the people that already play the game

It's also nice because you're not expected to know everything about the game when you play it, unlike in DotA where there is a certain expectation that you know who does what, and how.

HotS is fine and enjoyable. Its not as harsh at Dota and the games are fast, including the match making. Its a good game to fuck around with and just have fun.

everything is pretty self explanatory too so the learning curve (since you don't need items, just levels) is incredibly small

Combined with the fast games, allows one to fully play it when drunk and not ruin someone else's 45 minutes. ^__^

imagine if you could only play like 4 dota heroes per week
some weeks its ur favourite 4 yay
some weeks its meepo chen invoker enchantress haha enjoy hating life isn't this game great

imagine if dota had like 6 maps, only the balance difference between them was crazy off (think about how much better/worse furion gets as the map grows/shrinks) and you pick your hero BEFORE you see the map xd

imagine if about 2/3 the heroes in the game are specifically designed not to do any damage at all because they (heal/tank/stun) instead. And you can't buy items to scale.

Basically imagine if you asked actiblizz to design a game yeah

But if you're drunk with a friend, would you enjoy playing it, Sn0?


e: we can talk about perceptions of overall game design and quality, but when you're playing a game that you KNOW is super casual, there's only really one question that's worth asking, in my mind.
