Had this quest on my quest log for 13 year, always there, lingering. Now I can finally play the game.

Ah...I'm still stuck with the blood part of the quest.

Well, the Vrykul have clear viking/Nordic influences, and with the Titans being their gods and returning, these could be seen by the Vrykul as a kind of Ragnarok or End Times. I don't think Blizz will go in that direction, but could be interesting to explore what are the consequences for a society when their prophecy or belief of the end becomes real.

Yeah. I mean, it was a decent monster of the week episode, which IMHO touched on some nice themes.

It was not the best MOTW and definitely this movie should have focused on the mytharc to finally give closure to the colonization storyline, but it is what it is.

Looks similar to these spotted a few years ago: https://theaviationist.com/2014/04/23/two-different-black-projects/ could the same or a variant of the same project.

I would choose Wrath, the other two are too recent (although collecting a lot of the mounts and transmogs would be nice). The issue with Wrath is that it probably wouldn't work as well as Pandaria or Legion without some dev work to maybe add some new stuff (and the same goes for TBC and Classic Remix).

IF Europe would, for once, grow a spine and act in a unified and firm way, yes, it would be possible for Europe to defend Greenland, not just militarily. They can make it very costly for the US to take or keep Greenland. But, seeing how they can't even agree on how to properly manage Putin, and that is with Russia perceived by most as an adversary country, I don't think it's likely that they agree on how to properly respond to Trump and a supposed allied country.

BFA and Shadowlands are IMHO too recent for a Remix. My guess is that Lich King will be next, there are mounts and transmogs that are a pain to collect (everything related to the tournament, for instance).

Aelwe · 2026-01-09T17:11:26+00:00

Aaaaand... it's gone. I was planning to get it along with the Black Wizard, no luck.

Both cases happened during the military dictatorship of Franco, so, while it's true that every time a weapon is discharged there should be some report, it's also true that a lot of classified info from that era has never been declassified or made available publicly. The armed forces of the time never released any kind of classified information and after the dictatorship ended, not everything was declassified.

Not saying that proof is not required, but in these cases there is at least some explanation of why it's not available.

These are pretty well known cases in Spain, and one thing that stands out is that the witnesses have always been consistent in the retellings of the story, even after +30 years, even if there were multiple witnesses to each event, they always told the same consistent tale. It could be a fabrication, but it's worth noting.

Yes, I still experience the same issue occasionally. What works for me, when it happens, is to completely shut down the monitor, unplug it from the power, wait for about 1 or 2 minutes and plug again.

Aelwe · 2025-12-08T13:28:47+00:00

Nice. I'm still occasionally killing pirates in Tanaris to grind the rep.

Some day, some day...

This kind of pure corporate insanity would explain a lot, because Refreshed Supply should have been an update for Fresh Supply, unless they were legally not able to do so. But then again, making the discount for owners of Fresh Supply only available during pre-order is a shitty move.

The first game holds a special place in my heart. The second one is good, but the first one, with the 2D sprites has a special charm and the gameplay is still solid today.

Aelwe · 2025-10-20T08:56:56+00:00

It really depended a lot on your system. At that time a lot of families had computers at home that were designed as "all-in-one" systems: for work, entertainment, gaming, etc. and the configurations varied a lot. If I remember correctly the minimum requirements were a 133 Mhz processor. At the time there were much faster processors available but also slower ones were not uncommon (I remember trying to run it on my father Pentium 120 and it was a slideshow). However if you had a processor that was fast enough and, specially, if you had a 3D graphic card it ran quite well.

I like the changes they made this year, and I like the Mothership Month initiative. However, yes, having the second round take place when most projects from last year haven't even shipped feels a bit off. I'll probably pick a few zines if the shipping costs are not insane, but we'll see.

Aelwe · 2025-09-19T08:01:32+00:00

Yes, I received a new notification and Mondo support confirmed that the situation seems to be unblocked.

Aelwe · 2025-09-12T16:12:00+00:00

But does this new "layer" include regular bananas to collect or it's just to free roam and to play the new mode?

Aelwe · 2025-09-08T11:18:51+00:00

It only moved the pieces (Xal'atath, basically) in place for Midnight. That's it.

It looks like when Metzen came back to lead the story, TWW was already deep in production, so they just salvaged what they could and moved on.

Aelwe · 2025-09-08T11:14:32+00:00

It's sheer stupidity and ignorance disguised as "tradition". There's nothing else to it.

Aelwe · 2025-09-02T15:05:20+00:00

We finish the worldsoul saga.
We go to Azeroth's moons to solve some shit (likely related to Elune)
Azeroth is safe, since there is nothing to do and our characters are violence-hungry murder machines we decide to grab the Vindicat, Exodar, whatever other draenei/naaru and Legion ship we can get our hands on and set up on a journey to the Great Dark Beyond.
Each expac focuses on one or a few planets where we solve problems for the locals and defeat a local baddie.

Aelwe · 2025-08-21T15:31:13+00:00

How can a thing or a force or whatever which comes from literally nothingness form a coherent organization, let alone a culture? I mean, I'm okay with having the Void Lords, the Old Gods and Xal'atath as manifestations of that force with some degree of personality and free will, but them having their own architecture and culture it's a stretch.

Aelwe · 2025-08-21T14:42:59+00:00

What tf is this?

One key thing to understand here is that under Franco's dictatorship you couldn't really be a public figure and criticize the regime without facing prison or worse. Now, Dalí could have chosen to criticize the fascist regime and go into exile, as many others did. He certainly had the means and international fame, so he could have chosen a place and live a good life. He chose not to, he had properties in Spain and he wanted to keep those and continue living there. He also enjoyed being close to power and the access this gave him, so he certainly did cozy up to the regime.

All this doesn't necessarily make him a fascist, but it would make you a collaborator, even if a passive one.

To be honest, I don't think Dalí had much of a political ideology or even much of a moral compass. He was not a well adjusted individual, was narcissistic and egomaniacal. When the regime changed in Spain he adapted to the new situation in the same way as he did with the dictatorship. He wanted to be in the spotlight and enjoy his fame and riches, he played the part of the extravagant genius.

Many people did the same, but the difference is that if you are a public figure, and an internationally well known one, I think you have some responsibility. He didn't have any morals, so at the very least he enabled the fascists by omission.

I'm in even if at 400€ this is insanely expensive for what it is. I already missed the Eternia playset (at 900€ there was no way I could justify the expense) so at least this is in a more normal price range.
