@EdwardVersaii @Messiah_OSRS Redemption consumes all prayer points for the trade off of a heal when you get hit to 10% go or less. So he healed but his prayer drained to 0. Which turned off protect item. He did activate overhead again but he prob didn’t make it to turning on protect item again, or forgot.

@Thewhat89 Gotta get that TF2 badge level up! Foil one is also a cool one to have if you don’t got it yet!

@celestiialauren You see overwatch only buys your loyalty with good intentions.

With talon you would have been well rewarded for your efforts!

Here's my conversation with Jeff Kaplan, a legendary Blizzard game designer of World of Warcraft and Overwatch, which are two of the biggest, most influential games ever made. Jeff is one of the most genuine & awesome human beings I've ever met: kind, thoughtful, hilarious, and still & forever a gamer through and through.

This was a truly fun & inspiring conversation. We talk about it all: the lows, the highs, the memes, the details of the game design process, and the new game he's been secretely working on: The Legend of California. I got a chance to play the game with Jeff, and it's incredibly beautiful (and fun). You can wishlist it on Steam now. I can't wait to play it with all of you!

Conversation is here on X in full and is up everywhere else (see comment).
