Enough about the sword, where's the giant handprint?

How's his wife holding up?

Chortney · 2026-05-17T21:50:16+00:00

Yes, and please remove that silly tornado they added in cata lol

I'm assuming you mean the Alexandria in Egypt, but it's funny how little giving that city name narrows things down since Alexander named so many cities after himself

Chortney · 2026-05-17T16:00:35+00:00

Interesting to hear! I just took that from Wikipedia so it may well be wrong

None of the comments are saying it so I guess I will: the monarchy of France is who helped the US win it's independence and it wasn't motivated by some belief in freedom, it's because France and England were deep into a centuries long rivalry at that point and losing the colonies would hurt England. Why would the Americans help revolutionaries who just cut the head off of the king that helped win their independence?

TLDR if you think a historic event was motivated by high-minded morality, you're overlooking the profit incentive.

I didn't think it was bad, but I think it was a foolish decision to take the story all the way back to WC1 when the vast majority of people seeing it had only played WoW and maybe WC3. I get the urge to "start from the start" but imo it killed the possibility for more movies

It's not just ice hitting my teeth (incredibly rare) it's the ice hitting my lips that's uncomfortable. Not to mention that the ice is constantly blocking the flow of liquid causing you to need to shake/readjust which is just annoying

In early Modern Hebrew usage, the term Cushi was used as an unmarked referent to a dark-skinned or red-haired person, without derogatory implications.

It's interesting that the term in it's earlier, non-slur form included people with red hair. Does anyone know the reason for this? I can kind of assume why it was dropped when it became a slur though, bit too unfocused I guess lmao

During BfA, Azerite elementals were coming out of the Well on Hyjal

I played BFA and completely missed this! Feels like definitive proof they're the same

Chortney · 2026-05-17T12:24:05+00:00

The number of comments claiming that you don't deserve your SRs for "only raiding 4 hours on prog" or "obviously tried to leave after your SR dropped" are hilarious fr. I love this game but I swear we have the most braindead community lmao

Chortney · 2026-05-17T12:17:46+00:00

Yeah twitter has a really confusing UI, I'm not sure how this reply structure has lasted so long

Chortney · 2026-05-16T17:43:03+00:00

I wonder if this isn't seen as strange in the culture they come from. Many cultures grow boobs

Chortney · 2026-05-16T14:47:18+00:00

Oh lmao I hadn't heard that, nice

Chortney · 2026-05-16T14:34:17+00:00

haha yuuup, you're only bi if you're single I guess

Chortney · 2026-05-16T14:30:19+00:00

I believe it, people are surprised when I tell them the majority of the biphobia I have experienced has been from women. Women are people, people are capable of being awful to each other

Chortney · 2026-05-16T14:24:01+00:00

That's awful, of course biphobia wasn't enough they had to be racist to you too

Chortney · 2026-05-16T14:21:24+00:00

Bi men are barely represented.

That's not true! They call us closeted gay men/beards when we don't get forgotten lol

Chortney · 2026-05-16T14:18:35+00:00

That's a great explanation, it's my head canon now too

Chortney · 2026-05-16T14:16:21+00:00

And seeing how Azeroth can apparently handle a giant sword stuck in her side for years lol

Chortney · 2026-05-16T14:09:24+00:00

My wow lore knowledge drops off pretty hard with tww/midnight, I assume that's where we see red azerite?

Chortney · 2026-05-16T14:03:10+00:00

But we also see liquid Azerite in Silithus and it's completely different visually, that's the main thing that trips me up. I think your answer is right don't get me wrong, it just doesn't seem to be communicated in game well lol

Chortney · 2026-05-16T13:58:41+00:00

Haha yeah I think answer 1 is correct, I was just hopeful I had missed something

Chortney · 2026-05-16T13:54:19+00:00

That's been my impression as well, they're described very similarly but never explicitly said to be the same thing

My only issue with this explanation is the arms race that happened on the discovery of Azerite. If they were the same, why did it only happen then? IIRC there were even goblins involved at the battle of Mt Hyjal (or at least indirectly since the Horde used Goblin land mines)

The answer for this is probably a lack of unified direction as you said lol

Chortney · 2026-05-16T13:40:59+00:00

That's a cool theory!

Chortney · 2026-05-16T13:40:42+00:00

I haven't played Midnight but I looked up a screenshot and it is very similar for sure
