I’m not necessarily MAD at @blizzard.com for introducing new cash shop items in the form of Decor. I AM mad that it’s using the disgusting practice of locking it behind a proprietary microtransaction currency. It should 100% be in real money amounts. This is a scummy practice and everyone knows it

So, I tried Devourer. I don’t think it’s for me. Then again, I don’t really play DH. I kinda wish it was its own class, rather than being shoehorned onto DH. I like the idea and aesthetic of β€œcosmic mage”, but it feel incongruent with DH. #worldofwarcraft

I'm 10,000% on board for Orbitals' art direction, but I hate these co-op games. I'm basically the only gamer in my friends group, and even if I weren't, I feel like I can't just pick-up-and-play this without coordinating with another person, which is antithetical to my existence as an adult dad.

Boomstick is growing on me. It feels good to Takedown -> Boomstick -> Raptor Strike (with mongoose stacks built by Boomstick). I just wish Takedown and Boomstick lined up better timing wise. #worldofwarcraft

Earthen can swim. Therefore they have a lower density than water. So they’re not β€œsolid” rock. Are they more like pumice? Or something like carbon fiber? #worldofwarcraft

Now that we have something at least parading around as AI, I have to ask - is the Star Trek Holodeck still ethical? Holodeck adventures are fundamentally indistinguishable from generative AI. So now that we β€œknow better”, are we still cool with that?

I did like the new Housing Trailer featuring Ozzie. I wish F Belfs looked more like this character than the haughty, thinspo influencers they are in-game. I'd consider actually playing one!

I was a little underwhelmed by that β€œState of Azeroth” stream. Like, it basically amounted to β€œMore WoW is coming!”, which, I mean that’s great, but we knew that? Otherwise very few details on anything. C’est la vie I guess.

I have a Frost Mage Gnome named β€œKristignoem” and a Gnome Hunter named β€œGregbovino” chat am I a bad person?

Concept for new WoW class: basically Demonology Warlock, but you summon Gnomes. Implosion works exactly the same.

Not only should Pokemon have voice acting, every character should be voiced by Danny DeVito, except for Pikachu, who will continue to be voiced by Ryan Reynolds.

This might be a β€œhot take”, but Kiefer from Dragon Quest VII might be my least favorite Akira Toriyama character design.

I want to come back to bsky. I think I kind of need to, for my mental health. But I get absolutely zero engagement here. And what scant engagement I do get tends to not be genuine. This is honestly probably just me shouting into the void.

The final form of WoW Altoholism is completely forgoing the concept of a β€œmain”

The ending conceit of your original post was to allude that there was, in fact, a plan, which is demonstrably false. Many of us care chiefly because it doesn’t really work. It’s a jarring shift. I know TLJ is the maligned one, but TROS doesn’t do anything to build on it. It just wipes it away.

That's rad. I've long since moved off XI but seeing a Tarutaru in a Slime Hat warms my heart.

Listen, I love The Last Jedi, even though overall I don't care for the Sequel Trilogy. It's a well known fact that they did NOT have a plan. Rian Johnson was not subtly hinting at Rey's lineage. He wasn't in possession of some hidden knowledge.

I'm one of the five people who really like Survival Hunter in #worldofwarcraft but Fury of the Eagle was just so much more thematically pleasing than Boomstick. Like, why does my savage feral Orc whip out a 12 gauge?

Takedown is good though.

There are two kinds of people in this world - those who love and appreciate the Ewoks, and those who are wrong.

On one hand, I love this.
On the other, it’s really cool but it’s just basically an ad for a set that will only really matter for ~2 months then we’ll all collectively move on to The Next Thing and all the whimsy and worldbuilding will be for nothing. It’s like Bloomburrow all over again.

I WANT to reject the idea of inevitability but if I've learned anything in the past ten years of all *THIS* it's that there are no rules or laws at that level of wealth and power, and that there will be zero consequences without a full blown revolution or international intervention/regime change.

hey remember when a bunch of middle-aged drunk korean lawmakers climbed the locked gates to the national assembly to hold an emergency session after the president gave illegal orders to the military, all of which ended with said president being sentenced to prison
