Pretty sure my cat thinks "fuck" is human for "meow."

THIS IS MY PLOT IT WAS MADE JUST FOR ME

Things I should be doing with my limited game time: - playing Chronotrigger - working on the TWW meta-achieve - Legion: Remix All I want to do with my limited game time: FF Tactics random fights

I never pressed 'Record'.

The Dreadlords went to the source. They dug into the history. Beyond the Zereths. Beyond the First Ones. They have found the originators of the Universe and they have infiltrated them. The Dreadlords are masquerading as employees of Blizzard Entertainment.

today at IHTOV: @mikebarthelauthor.com goes long and deep on billy joel in a beautiful, gorgeously written essay on being a joel fan. you're going to want to read this one. put a few minutes aside. it's good ihavethatonvinyl.com/essays/life-...

I genuinely cannot express how vital it is that you train yourself to recognize AI-generated images and videos for your own good because none of this is going away and many, many people are counting on you to fall for their shit

The Echo Show always reminded me of a screen you might see in an elevator or a taxi, so the ads don't feel unnatural. I've been disappointed ever since they cut back on the recipe content (I think their Food Network deal ended?). Used to get some nice dishes we could consider making. Now? Nothing. 😞

I read this in Ignignokt's voice.

I remember watching this when it aired and there is a 100% chance I am going to reference this repeatedly during the next expansion. www.youtube.com/watch?v=pbAE...

I think Ozymandias is going to be forgotten by history to a shocking degree. He's going to be one of those names you'll see scrolling through old leader rankings going "the king of kings was who for how long?!?"

Blizzard really dislikes letting hunters call pets from their stable.

Interesting thread about "buffet" style game services that I am sharing for no particular reason.

Why did the Titans favor this timeline? Because ours is the timeline that erased Me'dan!

IT ONLY TOOK TWELVE YEARS BUT I JUST MADE LEGEND IN HEARTHSTONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I prefer the full name Buckingham Knickerbockers

If I'm Pedro Pascal's agent I'm putting together a powerpoint right now that claims, "Within hours of releasing The Mandalorian trailer, Disney+'s cancellation numbers slowed significantly."

If its Midnight in Silvermoon, what time is it in Thunder Bluff? As a Tauren I'd rather refer to the expansion by Mulgore local time, so I'm gonna ballpark a seven hour time difference and call the expansion "5:00 PM"

Twee Portmanteau sounds like the name of a character who helps the main couple get together in a romantasy book.

My hope for Midnight is that we get a representative of the Amani Trolls from Philadelphia: Zul'jawn.

I think that Taran Zhu's verbal teardown of the faction conflict against Jaina and Lor'themar on the Isle of Thunder and Illidan's "there can be no chosen one" are tied for my two favorite WoW quotes, which is fitting because MoP and Legion are tied as my two favorite expansions.

WAITAMINUTE!!!

Is it just me or does he look vaguely Krogan. "Shepard."

I know Blizz will never share these numbers but I would love to know 1. How many players don't touch the trading post? and 2. How many players players don't touch the Great Vault? Blizz had made both of these super-easy to interact with and I'm curious how many players simply don't care.

Also because what they want and what they think they want aren't the same thing. They want something they haven't seen yet. I don't remember who said it -- Gruenwald? -- but someone used to say "Don't give the fans what they say they want, give them what they don't yet know they want."

At some point in the Worldsoul Saga, I want Turalyon and Alleria to jump in a portal together in chase of something or someone and then I don't want to hear from them again for like twenty years. I miss when their whereabouts were a standing question every Blizzcon.

Runas...

Comedian, tamed way back in Thousand Needles back before you could swim there. Had a break during WoD when I was running with Gara but since Legion its been him and one other rotating pet. Enjoyed the armor upgrade in Undermine.

So it's done done done

Working in tech support at the time, a loud coworker took a call where someone had some strange software on their computer, and the first words out of his mouth were, "What the fuck is Elf Bowling???"

I hate it when you've got an idea for a post or podcast about a topic and you can feel your thoughts all swirling around some main thesis that ties everything together but you can't quite make the connection. Its like when you can't remember a name that's just on the tip of your tongue.

Who was the last dungeon or raid boss you were excited to kill, not for loot or general bloodlust reasons but because you legitimately hated the character and felt that they needed to die for their actions?

Wait, you can wipe in story mode??? Uh, or so I've heard...?

This checks out 😖

Does Doomscrolling count as reading for pleasure? What about quest text?

I really hope that someone in Blizzard marketing doesn't look at all the discourse over the last two days about who Liadrin summoned and think "Mission accomplished! We got them talking!" because it should have been clearer from their appearance that it was the Army of the Light.

Knowing a little about how the cinematics are made behind the scenes... I would not wager a guess why certain characters look the way they do in the Midnight trailer. There is a WHOLE lot more that goes into things than almost anyone realizes. No one talking knows. /r/wow needs to chill.

So the WoW expansion reveal being part of OGL was underwhelming, right? Like Blizzard should have done their own presentation (like the Dragonflight announcement) a day ago and then saved the cinematic for OGL.

Everytime it gets dark midday for a thunderstorm I'm going to claim it's just Blizzard promoting Midnight. And yes it is getting dark right now...

Holy shit the gameplay trailer gave me goosebumps! LETS GO KICK SOME VOID ASS!!!

Kid is going to wake soon. Feeling antsy.

As you watch the cinematic today, might not hurt to remember this and think of everyone who was laid off by Microsoft in the last year. www.polygon.com/news/483101/...

2 year old went down for his nap twenty minutes ago, which means he is primed to wake up right when the WoW cinematic hits, whenever that is during the show. If he wakes up with poop in his diaper, that's the sign Lor'themar dies.

I can't believe Blizzard is going to show the expansion cinematic during the day. I want to watch it at Midnight like it was intended. Now I'm going to have to stay off social media for the rest of the day to avoid spoilers.

My favorite part of a WoW Expansion reveal is when everyone shows up wearing general WoW or Blizzard shirts to start the announcement, and then we get the cinematic reveal with title, and then suddenly everone is wearing merch for the new expansion! Magic! 🪄

Fascinating that Legion: Remix is getting hyped the same time as Midnight is being announced at Gamescom, since Legion was the last (and up until the 19th only) expansion announced at Gamescom (2015, ten year ago!)

Waiting for the theories that Eco-Dome: Primus is really Eco-Dome: Jailer.
