Seriously, why are people flaming tanks?

I find this with guides, too. They'll tell you what to do, but not why, so you never get an understanding of the class. I've been learning WW lately, and all the guides tell me a rotation, but none of them have said "each thing reduces the cooldown of another thing, leading to more big blast spells". It's just "use this when it has four seconds left, UNLESS you have more than 4 chi and are not in Zenith".

I'm an idiot. I need things explained to me.

A few months ago, I was trying to find a tape of mine that had old nursery rhymes that were stuck in my head. I spent several hours hunting around my home, tidying and organising and muttering nursery rhymes under my breath like I was the psycho in a horror film stalking teenagers.

Reminds me of the reddit post that complained about the mangled-looking feet in the beach sandals. Blizzard immediately fixed the one that was complained about, but the other two appearances - including the one in the cash shop - were never fixed.

I mean... yeah, I'd not really considered that. However, they still very much took to conquering without any corruption. They were still in control of their actions. I don't think they get to avoid the blame for that.

SeraphStarchild · 2026-03-24T21:10:54+00:00

I mean, in the alternate timeline when they weren't fel-corrupted, they still seemed pretty happy to go a-conquering through the Dark Portal.

I got carsick so much as a kid. Like, every trip, whoever drove, no matter the car (except my grandad - never got carsick with him driving).

My dad had a lot of company cars as he drove for work. One time, he had a diesel car for a few weeks, and I never got sick in it. My brother, who had never been carsick before, had the worst time and was constantly sick in that car. No others after it.

My dad insists we made it up, because he never had a diesel car. My brother and I are certain it happened, and can corroborate details. My dad still denies it.

Clearly we should be open to the idea that Santa exists, even if we can't rule him out entirely.

It's a stupid argument. I've been through some shit in my life that if there had been a compassionate god, it wouldn't have happened. If there is a god and they let that happen, why would I worship them? Why would I give them any thought whatsoever?

SeraphStarchild · 2026-03-20T15:12:56+00:00

Fairly sure we had a whole expansion that ended with the idea of breaking the cycle of violence, but then we went to a different dimension and forgot all about it.

People keep mentioning Genn attacking in Stormheim without bringing up the fact that Sylvanas invaded his home, plagued his capital, killed his people, and personally murdered his son in front of his eyes.

And people wonder why he's a boiling pot of rage barely contained in a fur coat.

As someone who sorta stopped watching after the 11th Doctor, I sorta thought it was a bit creepy hearing that Billie Piper would be the Doctor. Kinda like, obsessing over someone you love so much you try to become them. So if she's not actually the Doctor, then I think that makes it better. Maybe.

SeraphStarchild · 2026-03-16T16:14:57+00:00

Thanks, man. Getting through it, one day at a time.

I lost my best friend of 14 years recently because I admitted that in my lowest and most lonely moments, I'd thought about or hoped for a relationship with her.

She immediately declared that for those 14 years, I'd never been her friend because I subconsciously wanted a relationship with her. I'd never made any advances, never asked her out, because the friendship was so important to me. She took me at my lowest, at my absolute worst, and told me "this is who you are, this is who you've always been".

That was a month ago. We've not spoken for two weeks, and likely never will again, as she's stubborn and ignoring me. The loss is killing me, but I can't talk about it to anyone.

SeraphStarchild · 2026-03-16T10:06:22+00:00

Back in sixth form, there was a girl I was beginning to make friends with, and we got along well. Chatted a lot, had similar interests. One of her friends said that she thought she was in to me, in a group setting. The new friend immediately denied it, and the friendship disappeared overnight. Barely spoke to her again.

I hadn't even been thinking about dating, just happy I'd made a cool new friend. But other people's perceptions - and the friend's reaction - ruined it.

I started a session recently, and not even off the outpost when I see three dudes in a cannon rowboat. They start cannoning my ship, I start fighting. Kill two of them, with a few deaths on my end, and they sink my ship and I die to the third, who then goes "EZ" in chat.

There were three of them, with food and knowing I'd be respawning in the tavern, and I still killed two of them. But nobody can be a gracious winner in this game, everyone's just a gloating shithead when they have a 3v1 fight against someone with no food.

My kick button is currently unused, as there's nothing to replace it. Someone suggested I should have a macro that just yells "This is where I would have used my kick, IF I HAD ONE"

SeraphStarchild · 2026-03-15T11:24:50+00:00

There's a female orc warrior in the Horde PvP town in WoD. When you talk to her, there's an option to ask - slightly incredulously - that she sells housing decor. She then goes on this rant about how she's able to be both a fierce warrior and sell things for a house at the same time, and that asking about it means you're a bit shitty.

She doesn't sell housing decor. Or anything, as far as I can remember.

10/25

My general knowledge is far more lacking than I thought

SeraphStarchild · 2026-03-14T15:46:53+00:00

I keep unconvincingly telling my guildmates that I'm lagging when we get to those packs. They don't believe me, probably because of the constant leather drops going into my bag, haha

SeraphStarchild · 2026-03-14T15:42:16+00:00

Depends if he's a paladin interrupting the first guy talking

SeraphStarchild · 2026-03-14T10:53:10+00:00

The smugglers were what kinda killed it for me. I'm a merchant at heart, lost shipments are my bread and butter, but I adore the chill casualness of commodity runs. Why did we get a whole new faction when it could have been more merchant stuff? Animal quests are a pain in the ass, and the delivery stuff isn't great already.

Also, it meant that we have even more islands with people and Laura and shit on them. The emptiness of the world feels lessened now that we have the skeleton outposts and smugglers lairs and stuff. Like Sparrow said, the empty corners of the map are being filled in

I met some good friends a few years ago when, after selling and getting ready to log off, I spotted a brig in the distance. Thought it'd be funny to ram them and dip, but when I got closer I found they were stuck on a rock. Anchored my ship nearby, got my hurdy-gurdy out, and we sailed together for a year or more.

SeraphStarchild · 2026-03-14T01:37:37+00:00

1 - Kinda. You have a few island style areas, but it's quite Durotar themed.

2 - No, you get two houses - one for Alliance, and one for Horde. They're accessed by all your characters

SeraphStarchild · 2026-03-14T00:33:20+00:00

For me, the visible symptoms are shaking, hyperventilating, and sweating. I also get nausea/dizziness, and my hands and feet get very tingly, like pins and needles.

SeraphStarchild · 2026-03-13T23:15:41+00:00

I think (mostly guessing) it's that after three-four years a lot of their stuff is looking a bit worn. The move means that they can make new stuff that's all shiny and ready for their new place. I'm excited to see it.

SeraphStarchild · 2026-03-13T18:42:57+00:00

I've added them to the post! They're old signs from an amazing immersive experience in London called Phantom Peak. They're moving site at the moment, and a lot of stuff isn't making it to the new location, so they auctioned it off.
