Oh nice - how was Avowed?

What are you all playing these days?

For me:
1. WoW: The War Within - this latest patch (11.1) is amazing. Love all of the content, the class changes, and the /balance/ (huge props to the folks balancing over there)

2. MH: Wilds but taking this one slow thanks to WoW 🤡

I had often heard that players have a hard time squinting past the shortcomings a prototype, as a way of saying: "they won't like it"

but perhaps more dangerously, players who are hand-selected to test early seem to bias more positively, leading in some cases to a false-positive that fun was found

Still keeping up with my tier/seasonal goals in WoW of completing Ahead of the Curve for the current raid and unlocking all of the portals in mythic+.

Game's still fun y'all

I would love to hear anyone who disagrees with this articulate what the point of being in a society is to them. Really interested in knowing that, in fact

Good news, my friend: she's wrong

I played Satisfactory, Planet Crafter, bunch of WoW, and then got really into Days Gone randomly. Had it sitting there on my PS5 and never tried it and I'm really enjoying it.

I'm heading back into R&D and really excited. Looking forward to reconnecting with former coworkers & friends, and the onslaught of gun buddy requests.

Hello bluesky friends! It is a lot cozier over here, wow.

Just posting a life update:

-I made the decision to part ways with Theorycraft a couple of months ago
-I took a full month off to play games and just rot for a bit

And today that break is over and I'm starting a new chapter back at Riot!

Sometimes I come back here and have to clean the dust off everything.

Hi. Hello. If you can read this, I appreciate you and hope you are doing well.

That sounds amazing

Haven't been using this fine site nearly enough.

What have you all been playing lately?

Hearing Elon might start charging all users for Twitter definitely has me feeling like this is going to be the spot sooner than later.

Happy to see you all here.

I personally prefer the magic coming out of my characters’ hands, too, so then you’d have people wanting a toggle for it

I like to hit 2500 in mythic+ dungeons in WoW as a seasonal goal so I have something motivating me to keep working on my gear. Just hit it tonight on my mage. Having so much fun with it I might take some alts as high
