Team Fortress 2 with waifus
Welcome to the month of June! Where we look forward to the future of the Destructoid community by looking backwards at the month of May! I bet you can’t guess what the biggest topic everyone loved about May was!
If you said it wasOverwatch, then you’re wrong! Obviously not everyone loves it you dummy! Some people have different taste and simply don’t likeOverwatchdue to differing opinions on design and genre. And when we meet people like that, we ask them politely yet firmly to leave.
This time around, I think you’ll see quite a bit of pizazz in the roundup, with community members pitching in to share moments in Qtoid or Discord. Who loves the community more than the community after all? I mean, the community also kind of lovesOverwatchtoo but you know what I mean.
Promoted blogs
There were eight promoted blogs for the month of May. One was fromcomments of the week, which by thewayranonschedulefor eachweekof May.
Two were from our prompt for May,all good things. First was KingSigy’s remarkablylone love ofDJ Hero. The plastic peripheral craze is gone but not a love of good music! Then Zalno beat me to my idea for the prompt byrestoring the good name ofViewtiful Joe. But that’s okay because if anything can unite us, it’s Joe.
There was acommunity interviewwith Torchman, resident hater of all good things. Some might say the ultimate heel. Others may say a walking embodiment ofHalf-Life 3, except for a review aboutSuper Robot Wars. It’ll be done when it’s done!
Four of the blogs were just good choice cuts from the cow that is the community blogs. James Ego explored the philosophy behindThe Stanley Parable. Able To Think proves his namesake by thinking up of a way tomake your very own Estus flasks(probably). Michformer digs into thegreat design behind video game guns. And resident champ Voltech begins discourse onwhetherPokémonis actually goodeven though it is despite my biased opinion.
Remember to send your own suggestions for a promotion over to[email protected]. I’m pretty great, but I’m not perfect. That would be presumptuous of me! I have to sleep after all. So if you really love a cblog that’s about controversial opinion four, email it to me!
Notable quickposting trends
Hey dummy! First, I promise to stop calling you dummy. Second, obviously a lot of people were talking aboutOverwatch. When that bomb dropped, nothing was left standing in its wake except Tracer booty and the salt of players after experiencing Torbjörn’s turret or Bastion in sentry mode.
Boxartoid was hard to ignore. After all, when all of Qtoid’s feed is jammed with quality box art images, people tend to notice and get involved. From old boxes to new boxes, alternative covers and covers from other regions, Boxartoid was a thing to behold for people looking for eye candy. Too badMuramasa‘s original box art was pretty bad, but at least its PS Vita box was cool!
There was also Metaltoid, where everyone shared there favorite metal songs. Even I was surprised at how far this spread considering it was a specific genre of music. And there was nary a pop single in sight. When metaltoid was big, it was blacker than the blackest black times infinity.
I may not really need to say this but mentioning your current status tends to come and go in waves. Aside from that, people relished in the revealed starters forPokémon SunandMoon. In general, Rowlet was adored, Litten was cool, and Popplio was… well, divided to say the least.

Forums life support watch
I want to believe.
Discord debauchery
While I’m on a little less than most these days, it is worth mentioning that Jed doesn’t understand why everyone lovesOverwatchnor does he understand why kids love the taste of Cinnamon Toast Crunch. So at one point a dedicated Overpricedwatch chat room was made, but we all used it asOverwatchgeneral chat anyways. Now multiplayer hookup functions just fine in that vein and there were certainly threats to brandish one’s penis at one point or another, but all in all it was just your usual insanity in Discord.
Except of course when Discord crashed a few days ago. Torch and Linkslayer just about went crazy in qtoid when that happened.
Here’s to you for the month of June! I’ll be back next month for another community roundup! Stay active out there, guys.
