Hannah
Yeah, would be nice.
Snutt
Would we model Amsterdam in the game?
Hannah
Amsterdam's bullshit.
Snutt
Did you see that they modeled fucking Gothenburg in Overwatch?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Holy shit.
I
Hannah
said Overwatch 2 is going to be like,
Snutt
what does it match for?
I lost my shit when I saw that.
Hannah
It's like amazing.
I'm going to walk around there, see if it matches.
Snutt
Yeah, like because all the Gothenburg, because I'm from Gothenburg, so it's my hometown.
So, like, when I saw that, they didn't say, like, in the stream that it was Gothenburg, they just showed maps, and I was like, wait, and I had to, like, rewind, I'm like, this looks like my hill where I live on, and it's, like, the canal, and I had to, like, search, like, Google, like, is Gothenburg in Overwatch?
And then multiple Gothenburg people were like, oh my god, and I was like, holy shit, and then we had, like, a stream of, like,
tweets where we were just like, holy shit, this is Gotham area, holy shit, this is like the old harbor part of Gotham area, like holy shit, it was cool.
That's not really satisfactory though.
Fun fact.
Fun fact.
The fun fact is that it's not related to Snut.
