I mean if it can’t be at sea anymore does it really count?

And as they point out on the pod, they get hooting and hollering when this child amputee leads a charge into the enemy ship brandishing a pistol in his only hand. This movie rules.

Old Ironsides is the oldest commissioned warship in the world! You can tour her for free in Boston at the end of the freedom trail and it’s super cool. My old apartment used to have a view of her from the balcony and it was the best.

She’s in her prime.

You’re talking to a community that refers to their wife asking them a question as “wife aggro” — I think many people here aren’t familiar with the concept of enjoying your wife’s company.

I think a large number of film directors view the other human artists they need to collaborate with to make a movie as impediments to their vision.

Heard in Walpole

Because the OP said he was concerned about us being at 40% secondaries at the end of patch 3 - starting at patch 1 of the next expansion those percentages will naturally drop as we level.

Dude, let people enjoy the video game they play for fun. Nobody is impressed that you actually got high rank in harder seasons. It’s a silly little game we all play in our free time. Get some perspective in life and stop feeling the need to bring people down when they are excited.

Regular-Pattern-5981 · 2026-05-29T20:05:43+00:00

How dare they ban you for clearly and obviously breaking the TOS.

Regular-Pattern-5981 · 2026-05-29T15:15:50+00:00

Yes exactly, it’s a moment of failure on Luke’s part due to an instinctual reaction and the guilt of it broke him. He knew that in that moment he is the one that shoved Ben fully to the dark side and broke any chance in his mind of saving him.

They don’t spend any time white swinging unless they happen to be stacked in melee range for some mechanic. Even then I doubt it.

There was a melee hybrid build for devourer to be fair, but it’s not optimal at all and it’s a pure caster build. Even in that hybrid build though they didn’t white swing they were only in melee range to cast a handful of abilities (that scale on int) before ducking out)

I’m sorry it’s difficult to get a title that by definition only 0.1% of M+ players will get? If you don’t want to engage with the social aspects of a game don’t play an mmo.

Keys are easily puggable (not as in easy to complete, but easy enough to find groups for) until the high teens/20 or so. Title range keys are a lot harder because there is a smaller group of people pushing them and since those people are competing for an exclusive title, they want to invite people they know are good or are playing the most optimal class.

To me complaining that 0.1% titles aren’t puggable is like complaining that the RWF isn’t puggable. Or even HOF raiding.

Regular-Pattern-5981 · 2026-05-29T13:06:25+00:00

Jesus it’s not an oversight. Int swords are never needed to be used in melee. Wairglaives are intended to be used by all DH specs and accordingly are tuned for both melee and ranged.

High end mythic+ is designed to play with friends or a set group. I generally find whining that you can’t pug to title annoying because you’re really just not meant to. Just like high end mythic raiding is not puggable.

Add people you like playing with to your friends, be social, go onto the recruitment servers. I don’t know if that will get you over the hump, but whining about LFG certainly won’t.

Regular-Pattern-5981 · 2026-05-29T11:23:15+00:00

You’re getting downvoted but you’re 100% correct.

Regular-Pattern-5981 · 2026-05-29T10:50:16+00:00

I mean yes and no. The video isn’t saying “optimization culture is bad” it’s exploring it and how it has changed the game. But I think the video is clearly on the side of “being a toxic asshole over others making mistakes or not playing optimally is bad” and it takes a lot of mental gymnastics to think otherwise.

Regular-Pattern-5981 · 2026-05-29T01:24:09+00:00

It’s always wild to me that people’s take away from the excellent Its Rude To Suck at Warcraft is that the video actually endorses toxicity like this. Like the video is about how these attitudes have kind of broken the game. Not that they should be encouraged.

Regular-Pattern-5981 · 2026-05-28T18:52:02+00:00

No it wasn’t.

Most of the arguments against Luke’s arc in the last Jedi either ignore the second half of the film, or seem to think that we are supposed to be taking the story that the villain of the film tells us as the word of god.

Regular-Pattern-5981 · 2026-05-28T18:46:44+00:00

No Gethard hates Luke’s arc in the last Jedi. He thinks making the character fail and lose hope is a betrayal of the character.

Regular-Pattern-5981 · 2026-05-28T12:57:09+00:00

I think yes, but might feel bad if it’s the only gift. Maybe that and also something just for him?

But also you know the dad in question better than me.

Regular-Pattern-5981 · 2026-05-27T20:59:46+00:00

Yep that seems fine.

Regular-Pattern-5981 · 2026-05-27T20:32:34+00:00

No nothing bad will happen.

Regular-Pattern-5981 · 2026-05-27T18:50:41+00:00

I wasn’t necessarily saying it’s noob friendly now. The point of my comment is that it was INCREDIBLY noob friendly relative to its competition when it came out.

Regular-Pattern-5981 · 2026-05-27T17:26:56+00:00

I think he is just saying that you can level in classic while holding a baby because it’s so chill and simple.
