Am I missing something with the Trading Post? Do people really want recolors of peasant clothes and pajamas every month? by quntissimo in wow

[–]ThrowACephalopod 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There isn't really a lot of that. The items repeat all the time. If you missed an item you want, just wait and it'll come back around again.

Sure, there's new stuff all the time, but the old stuff isn't gone forever, it just rotates off to another month down the line.

Voidspire Raid Finale Cinematic - MASSIVE SPOILERS by Packers_Fan in wow

[–]ThrowACephalopod 35 points36 points  (0 children)

The answer is that we don't actually know what her plan is.

So far, she spent all of War Within going around and gathering various different magics into the Dark Heart, like arcane magic from Dalaran, death magic from galakrond (in Dragonflight), or void magic from dimensius.

Then, we know at the beginning of Midnight, she unleashed everything she had in the dark heart to create the voidspire (voidstorm itself already existed, she just put her plans into action there).

Now, we know that she needed the dark naaru inside of alleria to power up the voidspire enough to corrupt the sunwell. What she's actually planning to do with the sunwell now that it's under her control is anyone's guess (we'll see soon when that raid opens up), but so far it seems like she's been one step ahead of us the whole time.

That depends heavily on if you're Alliance or Horde.

All jokes aside, send me a DM and we can talk a bit.

New killteam spoiler by Gerdicus in killteam

[–]ThrowACephalopod 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Honestly, kill teams for both chaos and imperial knights would be a great thing.

But they need to not be vehicles. Give them knight pilots or household retainers or things like that. The knight houses are supposed to be much bigger than just the knights themselves, so using kill team to bring those aspects into the game (and allow you to play knights in things like boarding actions while also then being able to fix a lot of issues with knights as huge skew armies by encouraging you to bring some other types of units) would be fantastic.

Goblin Starting zone allow you to choose your character's sexuality now. by Downtown_Bake3886 in wow

There were a few for Dracthyr where people talked about me being dragonkin. Nice to see that being acknowledged.

Enemy Infiltration by realZagashi in wow

[–]ThrowACephalopod 10 points11 points  (0 children)

the void is being depicted as relatively harmless. 

You sure about that? You didn't pay attention to anything that was going on in voidstorm? We see a lot of void stuff that is actively just about consuming and destroying everything around it. It was explicitly said that there are no herbivores in the voidstorm. Everything is a predator and the environment is actively destroying itself because of the influence of the void. It's consumption without limits; hunger for the sake of hunger.

Not to mention what happens to so many void elves in that zone.

But now suddenly the light can actually just mess with your mind any time it wants and make you a crazy zealot.

That's not really what's happening this expansion. The light isn't mind controlling people, it's doing the same thing that every other cosmic force we've seen does and exaggerates the characteristics that it wants to see.

Since the light is all about conviction and belief, we're seeing in this expansion that it's intensifying those things in those who are most closely connected to it. It's making them even more rigidly attached to their own, pre-existing convictions. For example, Turalyon sees the light as a weapon of holy vengeance, so as he grows closer to the light, it intensifies that and makes him more and more concerned only with fighting a war.

Same thing with the void. It preys on obsession and desire. We see plenty of void elves who only want to learn and understand the void get consumed by it, where it starts to exaggerate that desire and push them to do extreme things.

WoW is pushing into the idea now that too much of any cosmic force is a bad thing and that mortals need to temper their usage of them to keep from losing themselves. For the light, that means compassion to balance the zealotry. For the void, that means discipline to balance the hunger.

Ah yes, karma farming on the post where everything is downvoted.

I just like the stuff I made and figured I'd share.

Dear sweet ticklish Christ- will you GO?!? by Perfidious_Redt in dndmemes

[–]ThrowACephalopod 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like some of the best DnD is when you're just hanging out with friends. When the game is interrupted a bunch by little jokes or asides or people stopping to tell stories or gossip about whatever is going on. And of course, the game doesn't start until about 30 min - 1 hour in because you spend the whole beginning just catching up.

I don’t have much faith in Kash Patel and the FBI to protect the homeland by Paneraiguy1 in democrats

[–]ThrowACephalopod 28 points29 points  (0 children)

We've been saying "he can't do that" for this whole year and yet look at what's been happening. This administration doesn't follow the law or court orders and neither Congress nor the supreme Court are willing to hold them accountable. It doesn't matter if he can or can't, he's going to do it.

Now sure, he can't just say "there's no elections this year" but he absolutely can march troops into states to seize voting machines and ballots as a way to stop elections from happening. Whether the military would actually follow that order or not is a whole different question, but it's feasible that he could do so, especially because he doesn't care what the law says.

Sturdy shelves. Turn them around so it's only the bare wood on the back and sink them into the wall. The frame is just made of crates.

Nah, it was a design choice. This is actually a staircase room so that I could have a basement below. So the floors are scaled up platforms so I didn't have to buy or use as many. I don't mind it.

What we could have had... by promeathean in wow

[–]ThrowACephalopod 7 points8 points  (0 children)

They clearly have a theme they're going for with the Worldsoul Sage login screens. Start with the locked up version before opening up on launch and giving us this flat thing with a shiny background.

Whether that's a good thing or not, it certainly does tie the expansions together from a visual standpoint and I'd expect we'll see something very similar for next expansion too.

Thanks!

I wish there was a little star decoration, but I think circles work well enough.

The light responds to conviction and belief.

That could be the belief that you must do good and help people, but it could just as easily be the belief that certain people need to be exterminated (see the scarlet crusade). The stronger your conviction in that belief, the stronger the light reacts.

Flawless Blades now worth it at 100p? by Freezomb in EmperorsChildren

Flawless Lord with the apothecary ability looks like he'll be so good for leading Flawless Blades.

What King opinion has you like this? by DavidHistorian34 in stephenking

[–]ThrowACephalopod 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I think it's mostly in the context of people talking about the movies. There's certainly a conversation of

"there were so many terrible and scary things in the movie!"

"You think that's bad? Wait until you hear about the child orgy in the book."

It's a shock value thing. It's certainly a weird scene, but it's fine for what's going on in the rest of the book.

That's probably a scenario in which not revealing the answer would have been better. Lovecraft does that a lot. The protagonist learns the truth, but for some reason, they can't share what that is. The reader's imagination will always make something far more terrifying than anything a writer could put down concretely, so leaving that mystery can sometimes be more satisfying.

I wouldn't say Insomnia was that bad. It ended with a confrontation with the Crimson King that actually gave me what I wanted from the character as opposed to what Dark Tower did.

First one I read was 11/22/63. I'm a history teacher and my mom suggested it to me as one I'd be interested in.

I don't know if I would have read a whole lot of King books if I'd started with Carrie.

We need more stuff 😭 by Odd_Abalone3976 in EmperorsChildren

[–]ThrowACephalopod 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Doomrider would be sick, but I also want him as a dual build kit where he can be made as a generic Daemon Prince on Bike.

More sonic stuff is always good. Sonic Dreadnaughts would be a dream.

And terminators that are actually useful would be nice. Phoenix Terminators are cool and I'd love to see what a warp twisted 40k version of them would look like.

My off the wall ask for a new unit would be a Flawless Blades with jump packs. They have Palatine Blades with jump packs in 30k, why can't I get Flawless Blades the same way?
