(Off-topic) Eclipse 2024

If your boss or teachers won’t let you go and watch the solar eclipse today, 2 things:

1: Tell them this humble servant of the Overwatch forums say “BOOOOOOO!”

2: Although nothing comes close to the feeling you get from watching an actual solar eclipse, the World of Warcraft cinematic below (originally from the Legion expansion) will show you an exaggerated, lite…and much, much sadder…version of a solar eclipse. (note: due to my trust levels, you’ll have to copy and paste the link, or ask a trust level 3 if they can put the full link in the replies below).

Hope everyone can get what they want in the last few hours of “Balanced Overwatch” and in the last few days of Season 9 of Overwatch 2. Have a great week, all.

Don’t worry, I can’t post pictures but I think it’s relevant to today…

There’s an eclipse, where abouts?

I did experience a total eclipse years ago and it was quite something. Highly recommend going to get “totalled” as we called it, if you can. It’s hard to describe exactly as it hits you on a primal level.

I think it’s in the sky

But what do I do if Mother Nature won’t let me see it? I’m in the path of totality but it’s effing cloudy. :sob: :sob: :sob: :sob:

Same here. I think there are some live streams from locations where there is no cloud cover though. I’ll probably be checking those out personally, if you want to see it I’d recommend the same.

Yeah probably will. Just not quite the same ya know. :face_exhaling:

Unless you have special glasses, it would be pointless anyway because looking directly at the eclipse would make you go blind.

I just used the cheap glasses that come with the Sonic eclipse float. I was more interested in how it changed the lighting outside than the eclipse itself.

I don’t what the fuss is about….ive been staring at the sun for the past hour and I can’t see anything….anymore

My kids school decided not to have school today… We just watched it… The full Solar Eclipse was soooo pretty. So happy we got the full coverage this time.

I’m in Illinois

Its like when a storm is rolling in… and it gets a little darker closer it gets… then it becomes sunny again when it rolls out

Fair enough. I assume Sonic is that American fast food chain? The lighting change was really neat. Street lights turned on and it looked similar to sundown which is fun at 3 pm. There’s a huge amount of cloud cover here though so only got to see the lighting changes.

Yessss. I love that, honestly.
