You know you’re a dog owner when you’re thrilled to find a new bin on your usual routes, but to find a new one AT THE END OF YOUR STREET TWO DOORS DOWN?! Game changer.

“Come, Let’s Away” - sensational. Few episodes of any recent Trek have truly captured the tone of the 90s run but this one hit the nail on the head. Oh, and the ending was edited perfectly. Well, save for the slight rock music. Could have done without that, but the silence and pull back? Perfect.

It’s now been ten working days since our new kitchen renovations began. It is still ongoing. I’m tired, boss, I just want to hoover and clean and fiddle with me new cooker hood.

Wingstop do corn on the cob now and good grief does it hit the spot, especially with the cajun seasoning.

Excellent - and I’ll try to early next week. Having a new kitchen put in and my God the mess.

So out of the loop, I didn’t know there was a demo!

Big same all round. Coming off the back of last week’s episode, Academy is really knocking it out of the park.

What got me most was the second cameo and I shouted out their name. Though, they were old in DS9 anyway so how they’re still around I do not know but AH!

People are going to hate it, but goddamn did I love this week’s #StarTrekAcademy. Chills. CHILLS. Very misty eyed right now.

Isn’t she? Banger after banger. Her live stuff is extraordinary.

Still absolutely baffles me how Sigrid isn’t bigger than she is. I swear, you’re all sleeping on her. Just phenomenal music.

While I’m pleased that January, the decade-month, is over, I cannot believe it’s February already.

Yeah, the news notification popped up and it fucking threw me. Fucking hell.

WHAT THE FUCK, CATHERINE O’HARA?! NO.

Did not have attending A&E due to breathing difficulties on my 2026 bingo list. Medical shit is, or was supposed to be, so 2025.

I love Stephen. The face of a doomed WW1 officer and the wardrobe of John Travolta. #thetraitors

Waking up with a full blown cold is not it. Not it at all. AT ALL.

Yes, I “died” right at the end but as long as the others survived it counted. I panicked and misclicked but I’ll take it.

DBM kept a record of all my attempts over the years and I can confirm that I completed it on attempt 69. Nice.

My former Void Elf Shadow Priest, now a Holy Priest (maybe), atop his new Soaring Spelltome, on top of the Mage Tower, with Dalaran in the distance and the setting sun in the background mixed with wisps of Fel. Ignore his transmog. I am not doing it until the free first transmog in the next patch.

The healing Mage Tower was the last one I needed. Tried over the years but nah. Thought with the pruning I’d give it a go and I bloody done it. Dare I say I enjoyed it, and Holy Priest. The pruning definitely helped in this case. And I’m so pleased that DBM remembered my attempt count… #warcraft

• Ice Lance as a spender is fine, and not consuming Freezing is nice with Fingers of Frost procs, but it just does not feel good to use it. It’s such an iconic spell but feels weak.
• If we’re not getting what healing we had, then Frost Nova should come with two charges as standard.

• Freeze is bizarre given Unholy DK’s Festering Wounds was removed. The old Shatter combo worked, this iteration begs for tracking which they seemingly don’t want?
• Comet Storm really needs to be decoupled from Ray of Frost. An AOE capstone gated behind a single target one is unintuitive.

More Frost Mage stuff that’s come to mind whilst having elevenses, prune inclusive, and observations @worldofwarcraft.blizzard.com

• Ice Floes needs to come back, or just be baked into Ray of Frost as standard
• Baked in healing to Ice Block
• Frozen Orb to be castable without a target again

Very distressing, and if a human did sign this off then God helps us. Same with the Void, and going back to Silvermoon. TWW got me back big time as Delves were perfect for me, but it’s feeling like getting to T11 is going to be awful. Unluckily my sub renewed last week.

I just don’t get it. That’s what alpha and beta is for and as far as feedback goes that one in particular seems essential. I swear some of these changes were AI generated because surely they can’t fuck this up this bad?

Christ alive, what a shitshow. What is it with the big cooldown being interruptible? Ray of Frost is the exact same, accidentally move, try again in a minute. The customisation oversight is a pisstake and lazy when you consider how all in Blizzard are for customisation nowadays. C’mon, hotfixes.

I haven’t, no. Bad as well? Yikes. I don’t mind pruning, but this feels needlessly restrictive. Gameplay was fluid, this feels like a major step back. For Mages, with the solo philosophy in Delves and Prey, this is going to suck big time.

Frost Mage is horrible now. Combining Comet Storm with Ray of Frost is a mistake. Mobility has been severely cut. What self healing we had is gone and the defensives which were supposed to keep enemies from us are gone. This isn’t an improvement, it’s dreadful @worldofwarcraft.blizzard.com

Frank laying down on one end of the couch, having made me move. However he wasn’t happy and made me lay down on the couch also but with no room, I’ve had to put my chicken legs up on the back of the couch. The brown wooden shutters are open and there are blue skies and white clouds through the window. I’m also wearing a Fright Rags “Dawn of the Dead” t-shirt if that matters.

Frank really said, “No, Daddy R, you must move so that one may sleep, but also not move so that one can have you near.”

As legit concerned as one can be about a game but I am concerned about Frost Mage going into Midnight. Losing Ice Floes is huge when Ray of Frost is now our cooldown and is interrupted when moving; and Comet Storm sharing a button with it, removing on demand AOE, is dreadful. Concerned #warcraft

The Bone Temple was absolutely brilliant. The “final” scene was unexpected art. ART.

Of course, absolutely.

Grounds for emancipation, divorce, suing.
