Radical. Does it have full 4:3 support?
Aw I thought it was just a political statement
"Hereās a fun thought experiment. Letās imagine what it would be like if we adapted Overwatch -style matchmaking from videogameland back into meatspace pickup sports. Rather than people showing up before the game and awkwardly doing chitchat, letās make something more Overwatch : Letās say a squad of four gamedevs carry you to the gym atop some fancy futuristic palanquin, with screens that blind you to whomever your teammates/opponents will soon be.
You already told these developers which position you wanted to play, so they blindfold you and walk you out to the part of the court where youāre supposed to start (the blindfold has a āloadingā¦ā bar painted in Undark along its inner side). After theyāre done setting everyone up, a whistle sounds: You all rip your blindfolds off at the same time, 5 seconds before the match is about to start. You quickly size up your teammates, making a bunch of wild & random guesses about them based on zero information. You quickly size up your opponents. Then the match begins, and now youāve got to play sports for no longer than 25 minutes!
You probably had different teammates the last time around, so when you pass the ball to whichever new person youāll be using speeds/angles that were tuned for another context. Say that throws somebody off: Say the pass fails, and your team loses possession of the ball. This is a huge problem for you, as a gamer, because you now have 5ā10 seconds in which itās possible to think about what just happened. Did somebody āfuck upā here? Did you āfuck upā your throw? Did they āfuck upā their catch? If the two of you are out of sync, was it just about the slight difference in tuning? Or is there a difference in skill playing out?
(In videogame terms, youād like to know: Is that person āBADā? Are you in fact āBADā? Is anybody in this situation āBADā? Goddamnit, surely someone has to be.)"
