@damnyouwillis.bsky.social Given how DoA started, from the J&W lead-in, it would actually be very funny if you ended it with today's comic.

I've only just realised: WoWs marketing drive for player housing is single-mindedly intended for sims 4 players. I did not realise how engaged the sims audience remains to this day.

@draknek.bsky.social @mtrc.bsky.social @oskarstalberg.bsky.social @innes.bsky.social I just wanted to build a little Brio Train track generator from a finite pool of parts for my 3 year-old. Points to the 1st to guess why I'm on the verge of breakdown. (Hint: It's not the 3y/o's fault for once.)

Why is winning 10 Arena Skirmishes still a weekly that ever occurs? Why does it require Wins? Why does it require 10 of them? Why does it still reward only 110 Conquest instead of at least 1 item's worth of catch up? So many questions into the delusion vacuum that is WoW still having PvP.

My Mrs and I got adjacent housing plots, and she's a Druid main, so I adjusted all the flowers in my exterior garden to turn to face and grow slightly larger the closer to her plot they get.

The time has come. My Midnight launch content review thread, including both the leveling and max level campaigns. Buckle up, this will be very long. 🧵 (1 of 71) (I'm not kidding)

My only major complaint about the Midnight campaign is that every time Arator refers to the collective as "Elves of Azeorth" it just completely breaks my immersion. "Amir'dorei", that is "United Children", or something else, would've felt much less like they asked ChatGPT to script an elf unity arc.

I wonder if the UI refactoring for WoW is a bigger sunk cost than Garrisons yet

Fuck's sake, @vaush.gg

WoW needs to re-up its cinematic one-liner writing. On Alleria, Xal missed a chance to clap back with "I was never aiming for you" and "You [x] just don't know when to lay down and die" should've been met with a taunting "So naïve to think that death would stop us", alluding Alleria & all fates.

Bolvar's Mum was the highest rank Cleric of Northshire who led the refugees from Stormwind to Lordaeron. There's no way she wasn't the unnamed Priestess who Calia and her husband, obviously Bolvar, beseeched to wed them. Jaina was all but Calia's sister, so their daughter was sent to Kul Tiras.

Okay, now that it's been a few weeks, and we can firmly say that shifting retail WoW's entire direction and spending millions on marketing to cater to Classic Andy's and 2nd screen forknife gamerz hasn't magically landed us back at 12 million subs; can I please have fun class gameplay back

I wonder if it's possible to support conditional animations in WoW based on direction? I.e. use left-hand cast anim for targets at -1:-180, right hand for 0:179? Do channel anims raise arms if target is high? I'm drawing blanks on any examples. Point being, over-shoulder casts would be cool AF.

Rommath and Umbric ship name is Umbrat. No further questions.

It's weird how disconnected modern Quel'thalas feels from TBC Quel'thalas and Suramar. I appreciate wanting something to stand on its own, and wanting local narratives to be self-contained, but you can safely reference the most memorable part of the most memorable expansion that many JUST replayed.

"So that's what happens if you import all of Kalimdor into Blender," they noted, 6 hours later.

@kruithne.bsky.social @marlam.in Hey gang, my wow.export doesn't seem to be hitting anything when it tries to update? I've tried re-downloading and re-installing from 2.10 and have checked my network is fine.

Oh, this was Ula-Tek, it was always Ula-Tek

A stand for Artificial, and I stands for you. And that concludes our 3-week course.

@marlam.in I'll see your textureless Outland and raise you a giant Zandalari portcullis over Mulgore. I've had this appear very rarely in the sky box over certain Island Expeditions during certain weather.

Just verifying an old speculation video and oh my glob the pig race were Muslim coded wtaf old wow lore

Just putting together my kids 'Police and Protest' toy set ready for Christmas @goodlawproject.org

My hot take to close out 2025 is that Sonic 4 should be an adaptation of 'Sonic Heroes' and not 'Sonic CD'; and it should be an entire allegory for how kids can overcome the anxiety about their future prospects being replaced and governed by AI through better unionisation and collective action.

I want to level a Night Elf Shaman and a Kul Tiran Paladin and a Blood Elf Druid and an Orc Demon Hunter, and there's no good reason those aren't already all enabled.

All current candle orders will be shipping out tomorrow! You still have time to get your orders in for Christmas, too! grumpycandlecompany.com/collections/...

Ion Hazzikostas and I have very different opinions about what constitutes as a "surgical change".

The threenager just learned a valuable life lesson over the course of a 3-hour battle to not nap: There might not be a limit to Dad's patience. Dad might be able to be bored forever. He doesn't know, you see, that my ADHD meds would've worn off if he'd just hung in there another 40 minutes. Fool.

I ordered Nando's today and when I collected it, the person serving me had the most amazing, smooth, dynamic voice; after we finished, I said "Sorry, I have to ask, do you do any VO work?". They got a huge smile on their face and said "I do, actually, I had a game come out just the other day..." 🤩

Interesting how you can chart the degeneracy of WoW by Remix expansions. Just got kicked from an LFG dungeon for AFK after reloading my UI for 15 seconds. So >I< get a 30 minute deserter timer, naturally.

Midnight Alpha and Legion Remix got me realising that Hunters, Warriors, DKs, Rogues, and Warlocks should all be able to (and queue as) Tank in any spec using their Class Trees. Gimme Parry on Overpower. Gimme LeechZerker. Gimme DW Frost with ASPD Slows. Gimme Sap/Eva Rogue. Give me Dark Apotheosis.

Hey @ketsuki.com I don't have twitter anymore so can you poke @archimtiros.bsky.social and remind him he can stop playing Sarah McLachlan after 9 years on loop.

I can't believe WoW cut math. I worried AI was going to create the largest entry skill gap in CS industries, but WoW really said "hold my many brain-dulling beers, small humans".

2nd year in a row, since my teaching hours were cut, that I've been given modules (6 this semester!), only to be told on Week 1 that they can only afford me till Week 5. The indignity, the gutting of my hope each time, is just hollowing. I think this one has finally broken me.

Oh, the Twisting Nether is based on DnDs The Upside Down, I can't believe I never (no pun intended) looked up the definition of 'nether'. Twisting Nether would literally be 'the realm of the twisted lower place'. This goes all the way back to The Last Guardian's Medivh encounter in anti-Karazhan.

Excited to share that the latest issue of Geek Magazine (out Friday in France!) features my 6-page interview with @celiahodent.com! She champions Ethical Games, a collaborative initiative dedicated to defining and promoting ethical practices in games. Learn more and get involved: ethicalgames.org

I just read about the most inspired act of allyship of which I think I've ever heard. A really heart-warming story. Wish I could give details but they're not mine to share.

I prefer Resourcefulness because I trend towards low volume SSF (solo, self-found) crafting and professions. This right here feels so freaking bad, man. I don't care if it's justifiably balanced by some arcane maths... This just feels terrible. (That's the 24 silver cost flux proc'ing.) #Warcraft

Dion, once again, helping me convert my half-baked, tiredness-addled, fleeting thoughts from monitoring the 3 year-old's screen time into coherent words and actually important sentiments.

Why is Glad-tier Crafted Gear capped at 662 PvE item level, whilst Conquest gear is up to 704 by Champion track? I get that it's a bit less time-gated, but 1) the Conquest time-gate is very dumb in a post-Delves world, and, 2) Tier conversion is the real bottleneck and so doesn't compete /w crafted?
