Since Legion Remix will be ending with the Midnight pre-patch on Monday, it’s a good time to look at what worked and what hasn’t in the second Remix installment.

@worldofwarcraft.blizzard.com I love this year's Winter's Veil gift, but I'm sorely disappointed I can't roll around on the snowball in bear form. This is a huge oversight. Just think about how hilarious a giant bear rolling around on a snowball would be!

Looking for a Christmas miracle for a kitty (aging parent situation) for Baltimore pals: (1/2) ""My mom can no longer keep Angelo (alas!!!) and we are looking to rehome him. Angelo is a total sweetheart. He is 6 years old, gentle, playful, friendly, and a lovebug."

This week, I took a look back at some of the highlights from the last year. In doing so, I realized that even the content I wasn't a huge fan of was still really good. TWW has been an incredibly solid expansion all the way around.

🎉Legion Timewalking and Patch 11.2.5 is now LIVE!!! 🎉 To celebrate Blizzard has given us a Dreadlord Regalia Pack to give away to one lucky winner! To enter follow us & quote this post with your answer to the question "What are the Dreadlords up to?" by Oct 12th! #WoW_Partner

My hands-on with the Midnight Alpha is up with all my first impressions. There will be more content soon, after I've slept a bit more. It was a jam-packed day for sure. @worldofwarcraft.blizzard.com #Midnight

AI is moving wealth from the people to the super-wealthy at a record pace

I saw an infographic a couple years ago about how to remove source identifiers from links and why it's important, but I can't find it again and too many people I know are sending me links with them so here's an infographic straight from the oven

🌊 This World Ocean Day, we want to highlight how marine KBAs can be used by governments all over the world 🌎 as a strategic tool for nature-positive spatial planning, sustainable development and international compliance. #WorldOceanDay #SaveOurOcean

This article sums up the uneasy feeling I've had since PAX East. The industry I've known my entire career is gone. I don't know what's coming next, but I can't pretend that things will ever return to what they were

Very long thread, 100% worth your time. It’s probably the best thing I’ve read in years 😂❤️

I’m so excited!!! Let’s go!!! www.youtube.com/watch?v=JrMT...

Now that January is done, here is where we're at with known games industry layoffs. We know of layoffs at 24 workplaces this month impacting at least 640 employees. While that's a tenth of last January's headcount, it doesn't look like a general slowdown. We're still FAR from pre-2022 numbers

ok but what about five baby foxes playing in the snow, though, did you even consider that

Sometimes we like to see what the Warcraft community has to say about the truly important questions. Like what are Magni's boxer briefs made of? Well you can find out what Reddit has to say about that in this week's episode! livelaughlore.libsyn.com/139-you-weir...

new version of A Christmas Carol where health insurance CEOs get haunted by the ghosts of everyone whose coverage they denied in the past, everyone’s coverage they are currently denying, and the future ghosts of everyone they will deny unless they change their ways before Christmas Day

As the few remaining games journalism outlets continue to whither away, the entire games industry gathers in LA to be blast-fed a three-hour uncritical montage of release videos.

A pun becomes a dad joke when it's apparent, but it's important to note that a pun is never ready to become apparent if it's not full groan.

I like the term “loanword” because it implies the word will need to be returned at some point. “Café” is due back to the French in three days. The fines on “raccoon” have really been piling up with the Algonquin so make sure to return that this week

I challenge you to an Agni Kai 🪭🔥

I’ve been trying to watch some of the videos criticizing DA:V because despite enjoying I think there is a lot of valid criticism to be had with it and I’m curious about if my thoughts line up with others. But it’s very depressing how many feel wokeness is a significant issue. It’s just dumb.

@eplerjc.bsky.social literally just finished DA:V, and I just wanted to say job very well done. I loved the characters, and the whole last section of the story was amazingly well done. Also, I now feel much less salty about the pacing in the Lucanis romance ;)

Try two. Stupid autocorrect. Wait, wait, wait. Hans Zimmer did the score for Dragon Age: Veilguard? That actually explains a lot ❤️
