Time to get back on the leveling train with my first WoW character, Blupo! I'm level 47 and pushing through Dragonflight! Come hang out while I see what WoW has to offer without a single add-on in sight!

I saw Luna and thought of this amazing feline. And Shibas are cat software on dog hardware.

I love Portland but this is why when I moved back to to the PNW I chose Seattle.

If others are disappointed in you that's their own fault for not managing expectations. You're doing amazing. <3

And yeah, I went to bed a little early yesterday so I decided when I woke up to just stay up instead of going back to sleep, been reading and watching twitch this morning.

Ironic, as this was the magazine that referred to Pokรฉmon as a "pestilential Ponzi scheme" in 1999, characterising its creator Satoshi Tajiri as a literal monster "His eyes are bloodshot; dark circles ripple beneath them... His monsters are a child's predelictions." He never gave another interview.

If the videos you watch or make don't look like this then I'm not sure we're compatible.

For the curious I did A until my phone battery ran out then moved to my PC for C (leveled my Warlock in WoW). Finally tired enough for sleep. ๐Ÿ˜ด Nighty night.

Was laying in bed, falling asleep, remembered I forgot to take out the trash bins. Get up and do that. Sleep now seems like an impossibly. Now do I
A) Scroll YouTube shorts for slime videos
B) Read a book
C) Turn my PC back on to play more WoW or DQ7

My mom's family has had it's 4th death in a year. My grandpa passed last spring, his youngest sister followed him over the summer. My great uncle (that same aunt's husband) passed last fall. As of this morning my parents found my aunt's body (mom's younger sister). I'm so so tired.

Yup! Mostly it's my extra characters from unlocking all the heritage armors, but I've collected random alts I haven't deleted over the years.

Also, not pictured are the 22 other characters I have that are sitting uncategorized because they existed for some other purpose and I don't intend to do anything with them for a while, ๐Ÿ‘€if ever. So my WoW-tism hasn't completely taken over.

Aside: I promise I don't inflict weird gimmicks on random people in random queues. Deckird gets real play because controller play is valid, but my silly gimmicks are for me and my friends to suffer through. Though I am happy to take ideas for more gimmick characters. I'm a sucker for leveling in WoW

I'm curious how others categorize or track their MMO characters. Do you have a system or is it just chaos beyond "I main this one!"?

Gimmick has my gimmick characters. They have a rule about how I play the character.
Deckird - A character to be played on my Steamdeck.
Shinychaser - If an ability is in Assisted Highlight I may only use it when it is highlighted
Buttonbasher - As above but for One-Button-Rotation

The next four categories contain the other classes in each grouping, ordered by how much I think I want to play them going forward.
Druid, Paladin
Shaman, Evoker
Death Knight, Warrior
Warlock, Hunter, Rogue

The "Mains" category contains my top pick to play in Midnight for each of the categories. Monk, is the all-rounder, having a DPS spec, a Tank spec, and a Healing spec. My priest represents the Healing category, Demon Hunter the Tanks, and Mage the pure DPS. ๐Ÿงต 3/6

The first 5 categories: Mains, All-Rounder, Heals, Tanks, DPS, collectively have one of each class available at this time (13 total). WoW's classes all have 3 or 4 specs that contain at least 1 DPS spec and some combination of Healing, Tanking, and DPS specs for their other specs. ๐Ÿงต 2/6

With the release of the WoW Midnight Prepatch I picked up an old goal I set down last time I stopped playing. As of now I've completed the goal of unlocking every racial heritage armor! 24/24 done. My last one was a Mechagnome Assassination Rogue. Glad to be done, now to pick a Midnight Main.

I feel this. I am always in a state of "just get through the next X months/years". Video games, and books, and friends help, but it's just exhausting on a bone deep level right now

I have, I played most of the DS one. The vocation system is my jam and while I like the job/skill system in Octo0 it doesn't compete on the nostalgia and variety for me. It also seems that 7Re will be shorter. The demo cuts the first section way short. It works, but I expect it'll be 60-70hrs.
